- Tow/Haul Mode (available): Primed to improve for all of your towing needs.
Denali Premium Suspension
Coming fit on the Denali is its premium suspensions with enhanced shock control. The system features a valve internal to the struts along with shocks that help to provide a more seamless and stable ride.
