There is talk that this beast may come in to replace the old Holden Crewman.

The Holden Crewman came out as a 4-door alternative to the existing holden ute. Then it got dumped because of it being too long and tight on passenger leg room. Pissed off and back with avengence the GMC brainiacs put the Denali XT on display early Feb ‘08 at the Chicago Auto Show. The great thing is that it’s Australian made and imported for sale over to the states.

What’s it about?

  • Inside is like the Chevy Camaro
  • Runs on blended ethanol halfing its fuel usage to comparable vehicles
  • Floats on adjustable 23-inch air suspension
  • 243kW 4.9-litre V8 drive train
  • Unibody design (crash and handles better)
  • Rear-wheel drive

I don’t think anyone would seriously drive this around as a work ute! I wouldn’t dare slap an extendable ladder on this one. It would seem suitable for a metro communications tech with a smaller tool chest and supplies though… hmmm? Or maybe the Denali XT’s time would be best spent hauling around heavy items in tow like caravans, jetskis or that garaged speed boat. ;)

Would do you think? Comment below…
