I like it, especially the disel part. Why would I want a Denali-spec interior in an off road warrior though? I would rather see a truck that I can hose down after playing in the mud and whatnot.

I like the looks and I would buy one but I know it is going to be like $50k. And i would like the option of a gas engine.

Yeah people want a really cool looking feature-laden interior with their "off-road" vehicle. They don't worry about having to keep it nice since the most extreme off-roading that most of them will be doing will be the stone driveway up to cousin bob's house at christmas.

At least this shows that they are not oblivious to the fact that some of us would want something like this. I personally would be interested in this!

While I agree with you for the most part, the average buyer wants the perception of an off-road slayer more than the function. Case and point, the H2 and H3. I think a base Silverado 4X4 with some 35s makes for a better off-roader than those things.

The H3 had a optional locking front diff....That should be standard on all 4x4's. I guarantee a lock front diff will get you farther than a set of 35's. Function over form is a beautiful thing. If more people would buy off that than their "style"( which is highly intangeable aand means basically nothing) we would all be driving better vehicles.
