2013 GMC Sierra Denali Snowy & Muddy Off-Road Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2013
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 GMC Sierra Denali is the top of the line GMC pickup truck. It comes with almost every creature comfort found on high end luxury sedans including heated seats and a heated steering wheel and all-wheel-drive. So naturally we were curios how the Denali would do with AWD off-road. In another fun and informative TFLcar video we take the 2013 GMC Sierra Denali on our standard off-road trail to determine if an AWD pickup is as capable as a 4X4 pickup in the snow, mud and rocky terrain of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Thanks for the kind words about our reviews and thanks for watching!
Bought my dream truck, this model, in June, used and I've been in love ever since. Is it the AC seats, the 6.2, the heated steering wheel, the towing, the awd confidence? I love this truck
I just did the same this weekend, except a 2010 Denali.
@@rugbyguitargodhey same I love it so far best truck I’ve ever owned
I really enjoy your reviews. You two guys keep it real and do actual real world testing! What?! Something you don't see done with other car and truck reviewers. Great job and keep up the good work. Oh, one final note, I did see Nathan drive with his thumbs up.
My 2006 sierra with auto 4wheel drive does the same thing. The front tires take a second to engage when the back tires start to spin
Also watching the video more, the reason the rear wheels slip then power is send to the front is that the open center differential combined with rear torque bias and front heaviness cause the torque to be down the path of least resistance to the rear and is then corrected by the brake based traction control system. That open center differential is probably why that one corner was so much easier then in the ram too.
front chin spoiler comes off before the side runningboards; as we can see; as you guys dmged it in the video
great video ,it's nice having car reviewers here in Colorado.
i have an awd denali in saudi arabia , with a locking differential, it works very well in climbing a sand hills without any problems and with the 6.2 L , there are no truck can pass me !
The problem is that in order to get traction, you must lose traction first! Great show guys.
I LOVE u guy's u give honest unbiased reviews just LOVE ur reviews!!!!!
This is more of a luxury type of truck, it isn't intended for off-road purposes AT ALL, that is why it's awd. think of this truck more as a cadillac. other than that it's a pretty smooth truck, great control and sounds amazing ;)
That looks and definitely sounds like Harris Park! My 07.5 Silverado is a blast to play with back there!
they did build something with the attributes of a raptor and power wagon. zr2 f&r lockers, longer travel position sensitive shocks
talking about truck, i would love to see a great video of the older chevrolet silverado ss and do a 0-60 video and how and old truck like those still perform after many years of use please. it would be greatly apreciated
I really enjoy your shows. Yall's professionalism sets you apart from other UA-cam videos. And the hosting meets high standards. Keep up the good work, both of you.
I agree with you
I have a 95 GMC Sierra, its an amazing offroad and snow beast
Cooed tell your not Chevy/GMC guys 😅 but you did good and gave an honest opinyen thank you.
It depends on the automaker and the emphasis they wish to illustrate on various systems. We got no information on the GMC, which has to do with its eminent replacement. Other times, either at press events or press material that comes with the vehicle, they can give us detailed information on every nut and bolt. It all depends.... Thanks for watching!
You're right. I should have said: "there is no lever or button to engage the transfer case." It's still fully autonomous. Thanks for clearing that up.
Good Review, I bet this truck would do better with some more aggressive tread, looks like it has performance street tread tires on it. The Subaru Forester has an AWD system that drives all four wheels at the same time with pretty equal power so their are many different types of systems.
I'm a subscibed viewer of ur channel...gr8 videos...gr8 vehicles..gr8 trails and locations..and gr8 presentations..
u both guys r looking innocent..i like u people..May God Bless..I wish i be the first one to watch all ur videos uploaded..
the awd in the denali sends a 60 / 40 split of power to the wheels all the time...
Love the videos you guys make! I like the shotgun sounds at the end of this video!
My dad wouldn't dare take his Denali off road!
Actually it's not an automatic AWD system like you get a lot of other GM trucks and suvs. It's a full time system with a default 40/60 torque split, just like the Escalade. And it does have a transfer case it's just a 1 speed rather than a 2 speed low range transfer case.
It depends on the vehicle, weight and power. Also, it depends on the type of AWD system. Usually, off the line an AWD vehicle is quicker than a FWD.
awesome videos, always look forward to them! one question, what kind of camera was mounted on the passenger door when you guys drove through the mud puddles?
I love this truck and cant wait to see the new one come out i love GM
do the frontier and tacoma on the ike gauntlet towing mashup
This is what I mean. I know the Tacoma and Frontier are smaller, but Ford GM and Chrysler discontinued their small trucks( Ranger, Dakota, Colorado) in favor of full size.
What were y'all saying about gm coming out with a pre runner??? That would be sick af!!!
hey i have a ? what is the difference between a whl drive and 4x4
what is the difference between 4wd and awd
I'm curious, when GM or Mercedes gives you a 4x4 car to test, what info about the system they provide?
Does it come with low range? that chevy v8 sounds even better than the hemi in my opinion
My 8 year old SUV has an Auto 4X4 option that works basically the same way as the AWD system in this truck, plus I still have the 2 wheel, 4 low and 4 high, why GMC would change from that is beyond me!
I like your off road videos
Does the Denali have a low-range transfer case for the AWD?
So there are 2 types of AWD: with center diff, or with a clutch which engages the axle that is not permanently driven: rear for ex Toyota rav4, and most crossovers, and front axle in this GMC or a 540xi
The difference is the number of output shafts:
Clutch 1input - 1output
Diff 1input - 2outputs
The clutch wears out because it must take all the torque to that axle, but the diff has a mechanical lock or a multiplate clutch for locking but that takes only the difference of tq betewwn axles
I want to take my jeep there can you tell me where is the trail please?
This truck is amazing I wan't one !!
Heres the deal with a Denali. Its powerful, luxury and has style. This off roading means nothing. Who goes off roading with 20inch rims and touring tires?. I own a 08 Denali and its a great truck for anything. Most guys who by lifted 4x4 trucks, are mostly driving in the city anyways and the highways. No bush roads. I'll take a used GMC over a brand new Ford or Dodge anyday, why? because it has best resale value of any truck.
I own a 2008 Denali as well and like hell I would go off road with my rims "same as video"
I also got an 08 Denali and that thing won't see off road in its life.
6 years later they have equal resale value in its class
Nope - it was already like that. I did scrape the rear bumper, but it's not damaged.
Does AWD slower than FWD in acceleration?
can you guys test the ford F150 some time soon
that v8 does have a nice rumble to it.
صراحه الدينالي قوي فوق ما احد يتخيل معي واحد يوكن دينالي 2008 ماشاء الله تبارك الله قمه في المتعه والقوه بس ياليت الدقن الي تحت الصدام اﻻمامي يكون منفصل عن الصدام ويكون مرن اكثر حتى لو صار يتركب مستقل عن الصدام
Man those gm exhaust sound better then anything ford has
I just bought my denali... and it crawls out of things no problems but as they say "one and done" I'll never do it again
Awd is great never have to stop put it in hi or lo awesome in snow and sand too my denali goes everywhere other stock trucks can go
the new colorado/canyon is on the horizon
Knocked the front air-dam off?
love the shirt nathan!
Screw alcohol. I want the bubba kush!
2013 GMC Sierra Denali Snowy & Muddy Off-Road Review
contour
the only good awd is full time awd having a constant 60% rear 40% front or what ever %
What are you talking about? GM's small trucks (Colorado and Canyon) are alive and well, heck a diesel version of them is coming to North America next year.
I want to see a Ram with the 6.4 Hemi and 8 spd. auto!
what about toyota tundra too big?
The rumor of the gm raptor/power wagon has been going on since before those vehicles even came out. Still nothing.
Nope. No transfer case, no buttons, no levers. It's totally automatic. Thanks for watching!
Old comment, I know... However, it absolutely does have a transfer case. That is what is bolted to the rear half of the transmission and sends power to the front axle via the short driveline that is directly beneath the driver...
Nice job. And truck
RAM has Auto 4wd on their higher end trucks. The RAM Express is a pretty stripped down truck. It's nice for the money, but NOT close to the same class as the Denali. This statement is not directed towards TFL. They know this.
AWD if the back wheels start to slip power will be transferred to the front wheels, you will only have power going to either one back wheel or one front wheel at the best of times
4WD such as my 4x4 i can have power going to all 4 wheels at once if i want or power going to both back wheels or both back and one front ,AWD is not made to go off road 4WD's are
test drive a dual range subaru up there
what about it?
Живу в Сибири в России и это реально лучшая машина для нашей зимы и для наших суровых условий .
nathan reminds me of jack black
should have tested subaru forester!
dude you hit the front bumper
I haven't torn off my running boards, but I have ripped off that plastic crap they put under the bumper!
For some reason I feel that the word AWD isn't as mean and durable sounding as 4WD...
I would buy a Raptor too.
Time for new intro
la gmc sierra denali es 4x4
2013 and below was all wheel drive.
Oh come on, it has a transfer case but one speed. When cars have low range the TC is 2 speed.
You must make the difference between AWD systems. That in the GMC is engaging FWD with a clutch, like the BMW X5, and some AWD Grand Cherokees, and also the GTR and Veyron. Good for roads, bad for offroad.
If an AWD has a center diff then the power goes to all 4 wheel instantly, and most of them have a locker on that center diff, so then it's like a 4x4.
Well Toyota Tacoma is smaller isnt it
that Ram has better looks and also more agresive GMC is just an overpriced truck its ok looking and has some nice chrome on it but to much crhome on it its not for me i had a 2011 lone star that had also alot of chrome on it and it was a nice truck but I trade it in and got me a 2012 Ram Express that I had for over 14 months and I love it same color of the Ram in this video I love Ram trucks Chevy and GMC make good looking trucks also! great video.
On the Sierra the ground clearance sucks... As u can see someone dipped in to low and almost took the plastic off!!!
Theres always a Subaru comment on these off-road reviews
Try compair apple too apples
Truth be told, someone else did that.
I would never take me sierra denali off road, maybe because its lowered on 26's
there's a gun range that they pass on their way up.
6:40 shots fired
Lol a lot of people shoot out in the woods, including me.
Awd no good. You have to get stuck first....then the awd system kicks in.
I hear a gun shoot @ 6:55
American Top Gear is stupid, but I bet It'd be a lot better if these two were on it.
Who heard the gunshots at 6:40 🥱🥱
Gotta admit its a great looking truck but who the hell wants awd on a truck? They need to revise that. Awd should only be limited to cars and crossovers lmao.
These are probably the worst automotive journalists on all of youtube.
Naah i keed.
Keep up the reviews, with all the other channels it's nice to have multiple opinions and you guys do offroad reviews :3
I'd take the RAM any day lol
1:47 you guys snapped the bottom part of the bottom ahahah. Dont go off roading in a luxury vehicle
Trucks are for work. Anything that isn't for work is just a big car
You call that off roading? Y'all didn't even test the limits of ether truck lets see what they really can do in some deep mud not just muddy water
its kinda stupid because the gmc denali is a street truck with street suspension its not ment for off road
I kindof feel bad for the denali even though its a truck and thats what theyre ment for
