I bought A Imperial blue 4 door 4x4 LTZ lat week and am loving everything but the heat on these 109 degree days. Some of the LTZ's dont have the back up cam. If you go to the build your own on chevy's website it will explain each option and the LTZ package. Killer rebates and deals on 2011's Hope that helps

I love my new denali.

To quote my dealer the only difference in gmc vs chevy is the grille and if you want the AC seats the Denali is the only one that has them. The LTZ does have heated seats. I love mine! Even has an exhaust brake (Jake Brake) which I am very anxious to use! In my opinion you cant beat the luxury and quality in these trucks.

I just purchased an 2008 3500 ltz and i love it, its got some miles on it but ive drivin the newer 10-11, cant tell the difference at all, im intrested to know how its gonna handle on the hwy with the boat behind it, i will be headed to destin in the next few days cant wait.

I think Im gonna go with the LT. I kinda like having the option of flipping up the console to allow for another seat.. I won't go into vulgar details of WHY I need this, I just do :grinser010:

Leather, seat heaters, Tint, DVD w/backup Cam (instead of that TINY little monitor on the mirror) installed $1977.

Also, the LTZ comes with real polished wheels. The LT just has the steel wheels with the chrome simulators on them.



oh and apparently it doesnt have the MPG or MILES TO EMPTY feature on the dash computer, WTF!? What a pain! I guess the MPG will be in the programmer though, but not the Miles To Empty. At least it has a Temp gauge and compass, better than the 1500 LT's


What kind of fuel mileage are you guys getting out of yours?

My 2006 got 22-23 mpg with the Bullydog Triple dog programer. With only 500 miles on the 2011 it says 12.6 mpg but is supposed to get 18 when broken in. Low MPG is one reason I held on to the 06 so long. Wife wanted the 11 LTZ because we take my truck everywhere. Im happy but we will see what the mileage does. No programing this truck because it talks to the dealer non stop. The smart phone app is really cool and does everything from starting and unlocking to showing oil life and MPG.

FWIW, the '07+ "LT" is not like the earlier LT/SLT option codes. Now there's 1LT, 2LT, 3LT and LTZ. Old LT = new LTZ, I would say LTZ=Denali give or take a couple details. And of course there's the potential for differences whether we're talking pickups or SUVs.

I thought the LTZ/Denali backup cam uses the Nav screen? Or can you get BUcam w/o Nav and that uses the small screen in mirror?

I don't keep up with aftermarket stuff, but unless they figure out how to integrate steering wheel controls and other factory goodies, I'd take the loaded LTZ package so everything works.
