History
The Denali signing board started as the top version of GMC Yukon for the 1999 model. It was also GM's first attempt to pursue sales of the new Lincoln Navigator for 1998. At the time of its introduction, General Motors decided to give its own luxury Cadillac SUV so that the Denali exterior was shared with Cadillac Escalade 1999, with only the front fascia and lower side body pans that are different from the standard Yukon. Although Yukon was redesigned with Chevrolet Suburban and Chevrolet Tahoe in 2000, Denali, Escalade, and Tahoe Limited/Z71 retained their basic designs in the 1990s.
The "Denali" moniker comes from a name for the traditional, native name of the highest mountain in North America, and also the name of the national park that surrounds the mountain, as well as the state park.
