Comments
And now a blackout package….come on, practically all the other GMC’s have one……
So this fills in the spot between the SLT-1 and Denali ? There used to be a SLT-2 offered and was dropped on the Terrain was it also dropped on the Yukon . Just a wanna be Denali sans the badging , and a bit cheaper too .
+1 on a blacked-out version , that you may see soon .
