Nice video. Both trucks are gorgeous - especially the Denali, of course....but, IMO, they ruin the interior with the brown seats. I kind of feel the same about the odd brown accents on the AT4 seats. I love both trucks but couldn't deal with those seats.
Agree, not a fan of the accents on the at4, but the saddle color interior with actual, real full grain leather is THE one thing that makes the Ultimate appeal to me. So sick of the 100% black interiors, especially the way GM did them (cheaply) that I was pretty much looking for ANYTHING but black. I especially like that the saddle (or whatever they are calling it) comes across as a 'natural' brown color associated with things made of genuine leather, like a quality ball glove, a premium belt, holster or top-notch footwear. There's an authenticity to it that really draws me and helps convey that this this material is sort of organic and not some synthetic pleather in colors only seen on alien skin. Ultimately ( no pun intended) though, I can't see paying the premium just to get the color. It's a shame they felt the need to hold back on this shade just to pull you up to the highest trim. I settled for a standard Denali in the dark brown but I would predict they could sell a metric Schiff-Load of SLT's etc had they offered a similar color in the lower trim, even without the more premium leather. The standard material with this color would be a hit. But, I suppose it's all about squeezing every last cent by getting you to take the top trim. I also disagree with the reviewer in regard to the tooling of the leather ( not embroidery) on the Ultimate. To me, it's tacky, childish, cliche, gauche, whatever you want to call it trying way too hard to create the 'denali' name tie in by gouging a topo map of Denali into the seats and dash trim. At this price point, I don't want ANYTHING scrawled into those pristine skins and veneers. Same goes for the too-loud 'ULTIMATE!' badging on the center armrest and the carpet retainers. Besides the fact that the ones in the door opening will get scuffed to death, and the one on the armrest looks uncomfortable, the badges just come off as pretentious, braggadocious and boy-racer. It's too reminiscent of the times not long ago when the entirety of the upgrade was the badge itself. I'd prefer something more understated. Let the truck speak for itself without the name-dropping 'look-at-me' badge. In fact, I think one test of whether the trim amounts to anything would be to 100% debadge the truck and then ask yourself, 'Can I tell it apart from the lesser trim?'. If you need the badge to convince you, then the trim package really isn't that worthwhile. It's literally bologna with a label that says 'Ham', or rotgut whiskey with the words 'small batch' added to the name.
I think it looks awesome inside, 2 tone leather looks good👍
I think so too!

Yeah the colored interiors are not for everybody. Personally, I love the accent color interiors even if it is the brown for the GMC lineup.
