Default Denali vs SLT brakes

Be kind to a new member...

I have a 2008 Yukon XL Denali and a 2007 Yukon XL SLT and I have noticed a HUGE difference in the braking performance. Is there a difference in the braking systems or could it just be the difference between the pads?

Both cars have over 100k miles and i assume the pads have been changed at some point prior to my owning them. Thoughts?

I seriously doubt there is any difference in the braking systems between your two vehicles. I would bet the performance difference you are experiencing is due to newer brake system parts, i.e. newer rotor, newer pads, newer brake fluid.
