Denali represents the top of the line for Yukon and Yukon XL in deluxe editions outfitted with leather seats, a permanently-engaged AWD system and smooth Autoride suspension. Power stems from the Vortex 6000 V8, with 325 hp in this installation as mated to an upgraded heavy-duty four-speed Hydra-Matic 4L65-E automatic transmission.

In the cabin, three rows of seats in tone-on-tone leather make room for up to seven riders plus cargo space. Denali in 2004 adds a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and options like a sunroof and DVD entertainment system. The color chart lists new shades such as Silver Birch Metallic and Sport Red.
