It's about 7am in Japan, just finished eating breakfast, watching Raiti's Rides. The best morning to begin the day. Not only I can learn about cars but also learn English that probably wouldn't be in text book. Thank you so much!
I’m so grateful to be able to share it with you!
No direct Japanese translation for "zonk"?
@@RaitisRides I'm so glad to hear from you!
@@JulezWinnfield I'm not sure about it, actually the videos on this channel are the ones in which I heard this word for the first time.
@@V8EngineSound As a non native speaker I feel the same. Big mamajama, chilling like a villain, snug as a bug in a rug.
I learned a lot of idioms from him.😂
Absolutely, the King of trucks. They look amazing and drive super smooth.
I’m glad that you approve of this one Omar
Ram and Ford blow it away inside💯
@atg1338 the ram sure, but the ford definitely does not.
@@atg1338😂 I wane smoke what you do. Ford not even close ram maybe
@@RaitisRideshow would you compare the ride between this and the Ram TUNGSTEN?
Everytime you add a word to the model name it increases by 15k😂
😂
This guy is immune to prices.
Bought a 24 F150 Platinum and have been extremely satisfied and happy since. Test drove a Denali Ultimate but for me I wanted the big dual panel moon roof and the seats in the F150 were more comfortable. Other than that super close between the two!
I bought the Denali 6.2L V8 four days ago. I absolutely love it. It's not the ultimate, but its a beast and it is beautiful. I just like setting and looking it. 😂😂
Can you tell me the size of it, like lenght, widght and height? I cant find any good specs there are tons of different ones
6 ltr V8 with integrated infosystem ❤❤ absolute beast, beautiful. Have to be integrated infosystem
Excellent review Raiti! And still no Tonneau cover at 90k! Unbelievable. Now, that's a Zonk. I can live without the panoramic roof.
This truck is the dream car of every man to have! This thing is the KING! My dad loves this truck awesome review I will show my dad
Fresh haircut and fresh review. What a beautiful truck, and you boys knocked it outta the park too. Great review !!
I love the grille on this truck and the wheel openings should be body colored
Good point that is for sure
That’s an option on the truck, just not on this particular build
This Sierra 1500 Joe still looks sharp and fresh. Interesting what they'll do for 2026 or 2027 redesign.
Awesome truck. You really want the dark chrome 😂😂 my dad had a 2002 Sierra Denali growing up loved that trcuk looked awesome that year had the 4 wheel steering and the orange lights on the roof and looked awesome.
Oh wow! That is really is really awesome
I totally agree about the black chrome.
The dark chrome is really good. Good to have everywhere. It look huge this vehicle.😊
Now THAT is a truck!
You better believe it David
You gotta love a GMC truck
No i dont
Glad you are doing the 2025 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate....
Yes of course Joe and I will buying this truck.
You got me, man! The criss cross applesauce panel sold me. Not to mention the banana holder!
The 6.2 has active exhaust when you switch the truck in sport mode. Opens up the valves.
Good overall review, it's a very nice truck. I like the idea of getting the double cab version 6.5 ft. bed with the 5.3 V8 in the Pro trim for less than half the price and having enough cheddar left over to put a Topo Topper Camper on the back. Then going to see Mt. Denali in person.
Absolutely a Corvette/Camaro truck because of its 6.2L V8.
Love your videos man
You are the best Nick
The most luxurious full size truck. But WHERE IS MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF?!?!?!
Because it's not
GM said they couldn’t add it because how was truck was design but next gen GM trucks will get panoramic roof
@@jivangill Really? I have been googling that a long time ago and i didn't even know that
@ Yes in 2026 or 2027 next gen GM trucks will have it bro
I have the 2023 Sierra Denali, the reason why is the cabin roof is small to put the panoramic roof and the weight of the pano roof. Its understandable why they didn't include it. Most likely 2027 might have it along with the V8 engine upgrade.
Nice video keep up the great work Joe
I like the flat black fender protection on mine. I owned an earlier Ultimate and now a 2025. I like the hint of black on the front of the hood now, and I also had the paint colored fender flares / protection and it made the truck look more like an "old man's" truck to me; the flat black plastic is more durable and gives it a bit more aggressive look in my opinion. I like it better personally - my 2025 Ultimate in Sterling Silver with the 6.2L ... awesome truck, loving it
I love that they have regular chrome on it. Contrast looks best!
Raiti still loving my Ram ❤
I’m so glad to hear brother!
@RaitisRides you as well my friend 🧡
Me too!
The GMC Sierra 1500 is a beast of a truck! It’s got a powerful engine, great towing capacity, and a really comfortable interior. Plus, it’s loaded with tech features like advanced safety systems and a user-friendly infotainment system.
Is it reliable?
2023 and 24 6.2s have been suffering bearing failure in small amounts but concerning, so I will wait till the end if the generation to send a verdict...
Great video! In the 1500 class Sierra Denali is the way to go. It just looks perfect inside and out. Can’t wait to get one someday, hopefully they have a panoramic sunroof by then. Kinda insane that this premium truck doesn’t have one.
Happy Thanksgiving. Great review like always!!
YES...YES....that IS the King of trucks
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍 happy Thanksgiving
You are so very kind! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
this has to be the best truck
Yes of course Joe & I'm really like this truck.
THE SIRREA IS a great truck to buy
This is so very true
There dogshit the quality and recalls on them is pathetic and the v8 a get lifted issues and all the electronics on them are all from china or Mexico and for the money the frames aren’t even painted there coated in this POS wax that comes off with your bare hands Toyota and even dodge paint there frames which is way better.
Yes great review! I WILL DEFINITELY OWN ONE OF THESE SOON!
You forgot to show the cubby doors in the back seats! That’s one of the coolest features. Overall, a great review and I agree on the missed opportunities to make it perfect… panoramic sunroof, ventilated rear seats….
Happy Thanksgiving!
Same to you and yours!
Happy Thanksgiving! Now let’s enjoy some twinkies and that turkey
love that truck
Trust me so do I
Couldn’t agree more about the panoramic roof…. It should’ve been an option years ago!
This is an amazing truck. That 6.2L V8 sounded glorious as well.
Although the 3.0 Duramax diesel that is an option with this is no slouch, either.
That’s a beautiful truck.
You are right on point 4:05 my friend, love the truck and respect the very good review
Great review as usual. Noteworthy would have been that the Supercruise requires a monthly subscription after a while. I bought a 24 Ram Limited and learned the hard way that one has to subscribe in order to remote start the truck via the app. I'm just not a fan of being nickel and dimed after dropping 70k plus for a truck. Some will think it's not a big deal to pay a fee and that's okay but I mind.
Nice truck I like GMC but I know I can't afford that so but if I had my way about it if it was just a little Chrome on it I will get it deleted put all Chrome black on it then color match the fender flares
You are the KING of Trucks!🎉
That’s so awesome of you to say
You ain't sneaky with that raitis speedometer censorship 😂
This is a gorgeous truck. If you are going to spend this kind of money on a new vehicle. Might as well be something like this.
Hate when manufacturers make that large of a screen but don't use the full size for the actual stuff down on it
I think the shifter is a Zonk. When you are on the way to work you are reaching over the shifter and more chance to spill. Put the cup holder on the driver’s side. Put the same dash shifter as the Yukon or back on the steering column. Zonk.
I've had mine for about 6 weeks now. The kicker sound system doesnt work, it powers on but does not connect to bluetooth (tried with 3 different phones). Also, after seeing this video, I noticed that there are 4 bolts missing from the panel that holds the speakers in as well.. So, some quality issues but overall the luxury feel described here is pretty spot on. It definitely looks and feels like a high end vehicle. the Super Cruise is pretty awesome but not available on all roads.
Stop da cap bro pops got a 2500hd Denali n that thing is strong n pretty
@@1sik5.3 i had one clip from the fender flare missing and someone clear coated over a rock at a factory lol not a big deal
Consumption?
@ 12 mpg around town. 24 mpg on highway if you drive like a boomer, 60-65mph....16-17 mpg if you do 75-80 mph average.
@@BillM-q7h thanks buddy
One hell of a truck 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
You better believe it!
Nice truck for 2025 Hopefully the transmission holds up after the first 50000 miles .
King ranch all day 🔥
You should have shown the button on the power side step. Not many people know that it's there. At the end of each side step there's a button you can press with your foot.
For folding it i guess?
@heftig27tt You can have the step come out without opening the door by tapping the button with your foot. It extends out and goes further toward the back so you can use it to access the truck bed easier. It's also useful when when washing the truck.
@@cblanda3559 exactly what came on my mind while reading your comment. For washing is awesome or also while loading something long with somebody. Very good feature. Too bad i cant have that truck here
You know that you have made a life when you have the Apostle to the pickup trucks!
You are so very right about that Luis
Yep I feel like this is a dandy.@@RaitisRides
I like the fender around the wheel. That area picks up some much crap. Terrible to clean when color matched paint.
I agree with 100% concerning the chrome. I am not a fan of chrome and why they mixed and match it with the darker chrome.
Ya like you the dark chrome on the front end would be nice
Love it nice truck for sure this is one I would buy for sure.
Outstanding Video As Usual 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Thanks
THAT'S the one for me 😎💯
I love this truck
Love this truck, i wish they did the speakers in the headrest similar to the yukon ultimate
Day 52 requesting the bmw m5 touring review
😮😮😮you said 🔵 cruise no it's super cruise 😂😂😂
To be honest I’m waiting for the redesigned Denali. That’s the main reason why I’m waiting to purchase one.
The turn off for me is 14 MPG!
its a v8 bro what you expect 😭 its a pickup truck meant to be used for work at the end of the day
@@vaxsurIts a Denali Ultimate, this will NEVER be a work truck, the most this thing will have in its bed is a TV or maybe some fishing equipment
And don't even mention off roading 💀
@@MrToastyYT 🤣🤣🤣yeah you not lying but still nobody wants a 4 cylinder in a pickup truck look what happened with toyota after they did that💀
@@vaxsur4 cylinder is in the Tacoma. The Tundra is a V6.
This absolutely needs candor chrome all over
Nice review. This truck would be my second choice. I ordered the Ram Tungsten. If I wanted more utility (towing, hauling, etc), the GMC would be my choice. Also, the discounts of the 2025 are greater making the Ram hard to beat.
Thanks for the compliment and sharing you thoughts on this one.
Agree with go all dark chrome.
I'm totally with you on the chrome, dark chrome all the way, please.
But, I also have to ZONK something.
When you go on throttle, please put the RAITI sign somewhere near the right bottom corner.
It's very distracting in the middel.
Other than that, great job Joe.
I love that truck very nice.
PROFESSIONAL
GRADE
I have the exact same truck but with the baby duramax. no issues so far. Plus all the transmission issues and recals that are going on do not affect the truck with the diesel. its the best combo. Plus the "gas" mileage is more like 24-25 city and 28 plus on the highway. heck I get 24 towing on the highway.
Just curious if it is the real inflation or the manufacturers go overboard in the recent years because there is always demand one way or another…
I wish Cadillac still made a pick up
Blue Cruise is Ford assisted driving. SUPER Cruise in a GMC! 👍🏼
You’re absolutely right!
It needs an all Vader Chrome option for ALL emblems, wheels, and trim to be the Ultimate
Triple dipper of zonks.
I’m sorry if I misspelled it, It’s a new word for me.
But that is the greatest sentence I’ve ever heard.
Love you 🤟
Thank you so
Much
I'm all in on the RAM Tungsten spec. Just don't get any nicer, IMO.
Except for the engine
Not everybody had your taste in truck chrome nor looks of chrome...personally I like the chrome
I'm with you on the dark chrome all over. That would really pop, and yes, the flat black wheel well trim, really ?!?
I don’t know Raiti l love the rims I think this is the nicest pick up in its class GMC on top now
God these trucks really get me goinnnnnn….ok my bad that was inappropriate but yall know what I mean…just love to see it
Nice truck! Remarkable performance!! But it's about time GM listened. Why would they want to put veddar chrome on the grille for four years in a row and fail to replicate it around the vehicle?
Go veddar or bright chrome all the way or black it all out like the AT4 or the Elevation.
Also, put a cooling system on the rear seats.
Good day Joe great review. I got a question and you know the answer to this question which truck has the best ride ? And if you were to choose half ton truck which one is your pick? Thanks more power to you Chanel
Agreed with all the negative on the Crome they should had made them black, and bed should had come with cover to for the ultimate. The problem with the panoramic gnc used on the electric dosent have a cover is just glass. The guy told me even if we were to costume do it we wouldn’t be able to get cover on it . 🤷🏽 ps the driver system u can’t let go of the steering u have to keep ur hands on it. It was actually made to help people that fall sleep during driving vehicle will keep u on the rd
I still got my 2023 Sierra Denali Regular, not Ultimate. After 30k miles, its still running strong.
It's concerning that you have to say it's running fine at only 30k lol. Really goes to shoes GMC quality is to be worried about.
@@kevinhellalong7838 Well, most vehicles can be a hit or miss in manufacturing. Some case, owners can misuse their trucks if its not properly maintain. Then again, pickup truck owners don't have time to maintain them because they use it mostly for work.
Did they upgrade the seat comfort from the 2024 model?
2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate 6.2L V8 10-Speed Automatic Crew Cab 4X4!
Love your reviews!! You’re one of my favorites! Can you PLEASE review the new 2025 Mercedes G63?? ….. To the door panels!!!
I'd option it with the twigs. Only 2499.98 for the platinum ultimate twig package. Really, a steal.
YES, please change all the chrome on the Ultimate to the Vader Chrome.
I like the way that you think!
Only $86k? I think I might buy 3 of these super affordable trucks.🤗
Nice pool analogy in reference to the chrome on the lower grill. GM, you should listen to Joe.
That was my favorite part! Haha
GMC/Cadillac is set to join Formula 1 so I got to show them some love.
This is so very true!
I like the ram tungsten better
Joe would you pick this or the Tundra capstone?
This GMC all day long!
Capstone easily
If you can shell out 25k plus if the twin turbo fails out of warranty....
