2019 GMC Sierra Denali // This or RAM?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- The GMC Sierra Denali is the ultimate in luxury from GMC. With leather seats, wood trim, 22-inch wheels and a quiet and smooth cabin, a truck like this is the new American luxury vehicle. Sold with a 5.3L V8 matched to an 8-speed automatic or an optional 6.2L V8 with a 10-speed. And soon to come will be an in-line 6-cylinder diesel with a 10-speed. The tailgate is called MultiPro and it has 6 different configurations to let the owner load with ease or step in.

These prices are crazy. People spending $80,000 for a truck. Don't get me wrong, I like trucks but these prices are crazy.
But I must admit, it's a nice truck 😀
Yep, I wouldn't buy it with a 50% off coupon. 40K is still too much. Ridiculous pricing from all the mfg's.
Curious what vehicle you feel is worth 80k and why
@@breener96
I guess everyone has their own preference. I just think that some people buy trucks for the wrong reason. I'd spend maybe $45,000 on a good used one instead. Let someone else pay for the depreciation.
No fuckn Canadians will be buying GMC IF THE CLOSE OUT OSHAWA PLANT . Fuck GMC.
It's awesome 😂😂 you can buy it used for half or less in 4 years and still get all the features
Exterior: 2 years to design
Interior: During smoke break to design.
I have that exact same 2019 GMC Denali 6.2l in the review. I have had it a week. The 6.2 with the 10 speed is an incredible combination. My truck came in at $86k with the optional exhaust upgrade which makes it sound like a beast.
With that said it has dash rattle, inner door card will have to be removed as something is not secured and it rattles bad also. Not acceptable at the price.
With that said, I did go to try out the 2019 Ram here in Winnipeg. The Rams are nice but funny story... when I went on a cold day to try out Rams the were all dead at the dealer. He told me they would have to use a booster pack to start them.
So I went in to a Limited and it took 15 minutes to boost. Once started the iPad like screen was dead. We couldn’t turn on seats or adjust heat and so on. The truck was essentially dead and the battery so run down it wouldn’t shift out of park.
Salesman told me that if they sit out on cold couple of weeks they die and lots of times the screen dies resulting in the truck needing a full reset.
So... I told them see ya later and went bought a Denali.
The Ram is selling sizzle but I think over time there’s no steak.
Thank god you didn’t make the mistake of getting a ram
yeh no kidding. i'm so glad i passed on the Ram. I won't lie. Looks amazing inside. The issues i saw at the dealer are common and if you check out forums the rams have tons and tons of issues already. I'll take a reliable truck with a lesser interior over a mind blowing interior on a truck that leaves me stranded when i need it.@@JoshuaOverman
Whoa. That's a deal killer. Everything ties into the iPad controller? I was thinking hard on the Ram but that would cross it off for me.
If you are in a colder climate region I would certainly think twice before buying a Ram. The situation at my local dealer wasn't isolated to one truck. It was like all the Rams. They run around with booster packs in the cold weather to get them going. So what I experienced in that one Ram wasn't uncommon.
I need to rely on my truck. I rather have a more basic interior that is functional than a crazy interior that leaves me calling AAA for assistance on cold mornings.@@rxonmymind8362
Yikes
GMC engine and exterior with ram interior
How Can anybody Look at this interior and think that thats luxury? Yes it might have a lot of Features but the design is for sure not on a luxury level
Well it comes down to what you want.
The ram has a better interior vs Denali which has better reliability, more performance, faster, more advanced technologies (Heads up display, carbon fiber bed, magnetic ride control, multi pro tailgate, 10 speed auto), and a more masculine design.
Justin Bouche 🙄
Better reliability and masculine design, that's debatable.
HSV Commodore Exactly. Compare this interior to any Mercedes at $20K less! It’s simply no comparison. Typical clumsy,
boring GM design, filled with cheap materials, plastic chrome trim rings, etc.
@@coureurdebois we'll see how that "dynamic displacement" holds up over time.
Beautiful truck... not sure the value is really there for the money though? Also, with the shut down of GM plants in Canada, I wonder if there will be some repercussions in vehicle sales?
I love the exterior! Interior still isn't great, too much plastic. Not sure the upgrade to the denali model is worth it.
Great review!
Personally would take the gmc over the ram. The ram interior is way to nice to get dirty😩.
I personally own this truck. I love it. The only thing I wish was that you could still get the max tow package in this Denali form. All said and done it's still a very capable truck.
Sierra Denali is absolutely professional grade. With awesome power and great mileage from its 6.2 and superior ride quality from its magneride system. I really hope one of future models will include a dual mode battery/hybrid version like the Volt to accommodate long haul (RV) travel and power.
Another issue with the GMC tailgate is if you forget to remove your hitch, you just damaged your tailgate.
I like the 2019 sierra denali
It's not even close. The RAM trucks are on a whole different level. GM trucks look OK but they have interiors reminiscent of 80's Oldsmobile and Pontiacs.
I like the ram way more, but the GMC is probably much more reliable.
Maverick Troiano I read that gm has less than average reliability...even in the new 2019’s. Don’t know how true it is seeing how I don’t own a g m. But I do like the way they look! I do however own a 2015 Ram which has been a good truck, but I heard some are having push rod/ cam problems... makes me want to get a new truck
Well it comes down to what you want.
The ram has a better interior vs Denali which has better reliability, more performance, faster, more advanced technologies (Heads up display, carbon fiber bed, magnetic ride control, multi pro tailgate, 10 speed auto), and a more masculine design.
@@Brian-jv8iy wrong, that goes with the whole interior. Performance Technologies such as carbon fiber, Magnetic Ride, multipro tailgate, 10 speed Auto, Dynamic fuel management, ECT are all missing
@@Brian-jv8iy .
Justin...It's just hard to get over the fact that GMC is charging 80K for this "luxury" truck, when it's sooooo much less premium than it's competition. If you don't like luxury trucks, fine. Get a lower model and save money. I just think Denali should be a lot more special at this price.
The new trucks don't have Mag ride, it's just "adaptive ride", allegedly cheaper and simpler.. I'd have to drive it to see what I thought. I drove the last gen denali back to back against f150 platinum and it made the F150 feel like a wooden wagon.. that mag ride just GLIDES like a magic carpet. love it. I hope this truck rides as well as the last gen did (for what it was).
@@coureurdebois GMC cheapened out on this gen and took out MRC suspension. You are basically getting electronic dampers. And the carbon bed is still not available. This is plastic-composite.
Interior designs are so subjective. And while the RAMs get accolades for interior materials, it's going to take a while to see how those materials hold up. I have a 2001 GMC Yukon with leather that has just started to part along seems on the drivers side only. If I needed a truck, I'd have a very difficult time choosing.
The big three are beating the hell out of one another for dollars in this segment. The bottom line is that there has never been a better time to want a pickup, IF you have the bucks. Because they are recognize these vehicles and SUVs and profit mines.
The 6.2L in a nice engine. However I hope the update the interior on the mid cycle refresh.
Dude that is real wood man
Well it's the fakest looking real wood in the world then.
The Ram might have a nicer interior, but the GMC has the better power train, better build quality and better tow capacity. The GMC also has better crash test rating and a lot better mpg.
Turd Ferguson yep keep telling ur self that lol v8 that uses 0w20
Are the buyers individuals or contractors that can write off the costs to their company? The payments to a non contractor must be like $1200/month. Who can afford that?🇨🇦
Pay cash then no payments
breener96 true lol
No one!,, with out the leasing option No one would be buying theses things. A used 2017 Sierra Denali with 15k miles is like 42000-46,000!!! Used!!!. Calculate a 42000 loan on 5 years .I got a even older model 2010 Denali with only 75k miles on it for 21,000. That’s about as far as I’ll go. Would love a bit newer 2014-2018 body style But, For 400 more a month to go a little newer..? No thanks. ✈️
I could but choose not to.
my only concern with the ram and the massive touchscreen is how well it will perform in winter when its -40 here in Winnipeg. I fear it will be so slow and laggy.
gneesh14 - I think more worrisome is the Ram being able to be driven without any issues past 2 years or 50k ownership. Stick with Toyota and buy the Tundra to have decent reliability.
The initial user feedback has not been too positive on the big screen...
-14 here in Maine...and my 12" UConnect does not have a problem at all. Early-build 12" UConnect systems have been updated with software flashes.
@@Soorma1988 ....but then you have to live with the rest of the truck, which is not a pleasant experience.
The good news with the new RAM is that the fire recalls have already begun! And the auto park, and the fuel tank, and the tailgate. Typical FCA. The damned thing hasn’t even been out a year and it’s had 4 recalls already. I have no desire to be FCA’s test dummy!
I have a RAM Lone Star 2022 4x4. No regrets. Up to 23 mpg on highway. RAM...an excellent pick up.
A good barometer in life of whether you have made it is how few pickup trucks are in your neighborhood; mine only has 2. Ironically they are both Denalis like this. One guy runs a financial firm and the other is a retired auto executive but he actually does a lot of woodwork at home so he actually uses his truck for what it's intended for. Guy in the adjacent neighborhood has a Raptor which is cooler than a Denali, but also less useful and less luxurious.
I own a Ram and have nothing but issues, hopefully they work them out by for now beauty does not fix issues.
Just an FYI that wood is real open-pore wood, it is not plastic same with the surrounding trim pieces around the vents and infotainment that is real brushed aluminum not plastic
Looks like plastic. Not very good then.
@@Motormouth... bro even in your video the shot you show of the wood looks like real wood are you kidding me!
"That's real open-pore wood, damn it!"
lol, you GM defenders are hilarious.
@@AkioWasRight They get really mad when someone criticizes their wood.
Around the radio is textured plastic
I just bought this exact model and year with 80km on it. I can say by far this truck is superior!! Trim, Towing, space, comfort, visibility, quality, power, looks so and so on.. The truck sits high like most 2500 do. When I drive and stop at a light, most other 1500s or a lot lower. The 10 speed transmission is butter smooth and the 6.2 will give you a kick like no other 1500 out there. Smokes the RAM easily.. With more towing and more power than the RAM. Very fast and very powerful engine. I've checked out so many reviews and comparisons and all you will ever here is Ram this and Ram that... Dodge has never been a reliable make and always had issues. They brought back the Hemi and everyone forgot the quality is subpar on everything else. Ram's strategy is to dazzle you with a large LCD and great interior no doubt.. One of the best for sure. But that's it!! Don't be fooled as this is their strategy to dazzle and fool and that the quality still sucks... Every manufacturer has issues, but Dodge is really bad for quality components and reliability. I have 3 friends with the Ram and nothing but issues.. Tranny failing off the lot, electrical components failing and so on. My point is, don't fall for all these reviews and do your own research for reliability. You will find the GMC and Chevy up there for longevity for sure. This 6.2 Denali is nothing short of AWESOME!!!
The tailgate position you missed was "top section down, flappy thing up" I don't know how else to describe it. The part that becomes the step acts as a barrier.
Sure like the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 .....looks great.
The Ram is gorgeous inside and out. I am moving from my 3rd BMW 5-series over to the 2020 Ram Limited. They are that nice!
The RAM hands down, is the best truck on the road period!!!!
The bed in this truck is the standard steel bed with factory spray in bed liner. The Carbon Pro bed is only available on 5'8" short bed, not the 6'6" standard bed.
I want to see the competition after 10 years that's when you compare (GM always the best)
that's a joke, I have the proof. our company had GM trucks and then we had lots of issues and GM was not willing to work with us. We went Ram in 2010 and never looked back. We have very few issues and the trucks take a beating. I'm a die hard Ford and GM guy but I've seen the Ram in action and it works extremely well for years. They also have the longest lasting truck on the market with the best resale.
I'm a Ford guy but DAMN this GMC is NOOICE!!! That 2012 Chevy Cruz interior could use some work though
the bottom line is if your really a dodge fan you''ll buy a dodge period, , but personalyy would buy a Ford before I ever buy a dodge, but my first choice is GM hey, that's the way it is with us fans.
Nice boots man.
Ram's interior, though definitely the nicest, just simply does not belong in a pick-up truck. It looks dainty and fragile and is more suited to a luxury SUV like Lincoln. GMC's got it right: TRUCK FIRST, LUXURY LATER.
chicobear...But GMC is charging you as if it's a luxury truck. Compared to the Longhorn or King Ranch trucks, this is just sad. If all you need is truck, then you don't have to spend 80K. See?
I'll see you when I spend $80,000 truck that looks like a fucking last year's model interior hell no like you know what trucks look like fuck off
يا لطييييف وش هالزين و ش هالابدااااع يالله يارب ارزقنا😍😍😍👍🏻🇺🇸
Excellent video and good analysis. It's a good truck but for it hand-shifter......kind of old fashioned!
Big fan of the GMC brand I think they done an awesome job on this model . Tailgate is advanced but some uses like you said may get gritty with dirt and sand considering the use of the truck.
after saying 80k... "magnetic ride control is expensive, this has a more cut down version", I then started laughing lol
I was (stuck) Behind one of these last week going up to a ski hill. First impression... its Big. That tailgate is far too busy looking and tall. But as far as a truck goes... I (hate to say it)...love it.... very ‘Brunel-ian’ (Isambard Kingdom Brunel). Would I ever buy one? No. I’d lean towards the Ram. Thanks for another great review/video.
I wanted to get the Ram, I test the drove the Limited trim. I was very disappointed with the ride quality, so bumpy. I thought, since all the reviews say Ram is better than Chevy/GMC, there is no point going there. Then I test drove the Nissan Titan, it was even worse than the Ram. Then test drove Ford 150, the highest trim. It has very good interior, but the ride was still bumpy. I almost gave up on getting a pick up. Then thought of giving GMC sierra Denali a try.. the ride felt so much better, most close to an luxury SUV. Then tried, Chevy Silverrado HighCounrty.. nope ! Denali it is .. Now, after 2 weeks of owning one, I have driven 1000 miles and I am still happy with my decision ..
I like GMC but Im disappointed a little w the dash design. Not that upscale that Denali models usually have. The 6.2 and ten speed are great but the interior needs some work. Even if i could afford this my eyes are telling me its not worth it.
I sound like scotty Kilmer but I have a customer with what looks like this exact truck. So far it's been back to the dealer once a month for one thing or another.
Definitely gmc I love the 6.2l
if I was rich enough to buy any of these I would have a hard time choosing, well, thinking of it I might go with something else for 70k but if I needed a pick-up, the sierra denali and ram limited are though competitor, the column shifter and HUD of the sierra are very nice in my opinion.
They put more thought into that tail gate that will rarely be used to its full potential than they did the interior. It’ll lose reliability/functionality when the tailgate fails once the crevices are filled with dirt and debris
I like everything but the tail gate ?!” Fixing to buy one with out the tailgate ?’”
*uses multi-pro tailgate* *either user error or product error in 6/10 "modes" shown*.. Brilliant! let's give it ten years and see how many of these have base Silverado tailgates on them ;) another great review Zack! I'd totally go Denali if it didn't seem like such a waste. Silverado RST fully equipped or a High Country for me next year! I LOVE the power opening and closing tailgate. I used one on a high country and THAT is brilliant.. this tailgate? not so sure.. The Rams interior may look better, but the usability and integration of GM's suite of tech is quite impressive.
Why would they put base tailgates on this tailgate is much cooler
Looking to buy a new truck and it is between Ram Laramie and GMC Denali and the interior on the GMC is killing me..... I love the 6.2, 10 spd, HUD and exterior better on the GMC tho.
That interior is terrible for the price.
DCassidy42 yep, garbage 🤮
Yea it looks like a work truck 😂
I agree. Looked at this. Ford. Bought a 2019 Ram Longhorn. Hands down without a doubt Ram wins overall. But if you want to tow heavy trailers Ford or GM lead on this. But for every day use, Ram hands down.
Yeah, I think the 2014 Denali interiors is better
Fender Bender really hey? It looks good but seems to be missing a lot and missing design, and quality. Denali was my second choice but Ram was an easier choice overall.
Very good review...thank you. GM is putting a lot of effort into their lineup of trucks but I give RAM the edge when it comes to the interiors. I feel that GM is still using some cheap quality components and materials in their "high end" trim levels which is a problem for me. If you're going to charge C$80k you'd better be using real wood trim, top grade leather and 1st rate swiches.etc. That said, you can't make a bad choice between Ford, GM and RAM...it will come down to personal preference. They all make very capable trucks.
80Gs for a truck with an interior that Screams 'CHEEEAAAP ' , Ram for me second choice F150
Charles Duran like the f150 interior is any better
You missed the load stop feature when using the second tier load hight.
That's not the composite bed that's only a spray-in bed liner,the composite bed is coming later this year
Chico101 I was going to say the same thing, you beat me to it,
Overall good review
Just traded my sierra slt for a limited. I honestly like the limited way better, the interior is amazing and the air ride makes you not feel anything while driving down the road! Ram has beaten the GMC hands down!
That interior is already outdated, considering the gorgeous ones at F150 and Ram 1500...
The f 150 interior is pretty much on the same level as this gmc is.
@@MrWell-qx5zs No way. Hobestly Ford always feels like home, just how you like it. Not fancy hotel like Ram and not a fancy wannabe hotel like GMC which is very underwhelming.
Ford is #1
@@MS7.7 maybe to you it does pal, but maybe others feel at home when they are in a ram or gm product. Not everyone feels the same you do.
@@MrWell-qx5zs well respect to your opinion. But honestly GMC could've done alot better I don't even hate GMC but could have done alot better I mean cmon the previous gen looks better on the inside. My friends owns a single cab 2015 Z71 GMC and its beautiful inside out. The new gen is over kill on the exterior and lines are too sharp and angles everywhere. The back looks straight like isuzu Dmax But previous gen is elegant.
The interiors outline looks like the :( a sad face. The least they could do is a bigger screen and better looking trims and buttons.
Just one man's opinion.
@@MS7.7yes I agree, but then again some people may like having a smaller screen then the over kill ram screen, which then again, I know alot of people who hate the new interior and I for one also think they could have done better, but there are also people who appreciate the more simple approach that GM took to making the interior some people are sick of huge screens and all this crap, and a small screen is all they need and they focus more on practicality and storage, which the new GM trucks definiatly have, and that is especially true if you are a guy who needs it for work, as the rams huge screen and all it's high end materials could get ruined, but then again, some people may like that the ram has lots of luxery and such. And some may prefer the ford. It's all personal preference.
I for one do not think the new GM trucks interiors are terrible, but I do agree that in the market they are in they do need to step up. But I grew up in the early 2000s american vehicles where very simple interior wise, so I for one would not mind the new GM trucks interior at all, I'm fine with them and they have simplicity which is always refreshing to me. I'm not the one who needs a twelve inch tesla inspired screen with wood trim and leather where ever you touch. If my truck has a/c and a stereo and a big old V8 under the hood then I will be absolutly fine.
I think Chevy and GMC are just built to last not to much of a show but deffenitly reliable on the long run .... Like if agree
ram blow this away, like 100 miles away. So amazingly quiet and much much better looking interior.
Nice truck, but won't begin to compare with the 2019 Ram Limited.
Put in a receiver hitch, like most trucks drive around with(yes I know your not supposed to), and that tailgate is too low and going to be dented real quick.
There is a sensor that stops the tail gate from going that low of you have a hitch
nice truck! for me GM/Chev always fall flat on the interiors - dash to be spacific - just looks cheap
Nathan S yea it’s true but you can’t go wrong with there motors which is the most important in my opinion
Nathan S doesn’t matter if it looks cheap cause it’s not so shut the fuck up you city slicker it’s a truck
It's just weird that many manufacturers seems to love update exterior only and call it a new model. Please update exterior and interior at the same time just like German brands.
Rather have the previous version. Anyone sit in the new RAM Limited?!?! Blows this thing away
Hell yeah,love this pickup over Chevy or dodge,love the tailgate
Well I see everyone is fixated on the interior of this truck.But I just have to ask,how's the reliability?
RAM. Hands down.
Ram has a better truck much less money!
Nothing to compare with RAM
Liking the side profile.
I"m a GM fanatic but will take that RAM all day long over they Denali = never thought I would say that but its a clear pick for who engineered their truck better. Ram all day long.
I had the 2018 gmc Denali 6.2L was awesome till it started shaking and hard hit. Took it to the dealership and they toll me nothing wrong with it. I know that down the road it will cost a arm and leg to buy a new transmission. Cause my 2014 gmc transmission gave out on my less the 2 years I kept telling the dealership something wrong with the transmission they said nothing wrong we dove it and hook it up to the machine. Till I toll them to drop the transmission pan they said it going to cost 500.00 so I said fine just to prove it the transmission. They came back min later toll me it the transmission and to get a new one it going to cost around 8000.00 or more to get a new one which was BS. I was over a 120,000 miles on the truck also
Easy choice get the nicest truck ever built with the highest resale in other words get a ram. I owned 5 chevys they stayed broke in my hot shit buisness so I went to Ram and well each truck has over 400,000 hard earned road miles hauling #25,000 plus 24 hrs a day for years, not one has had one problem ever
I’m Chevy and GMC man I have a 2015 Silverado but 80 thousand is ridiculous I wonder how much it cost to make😜
I’d buy it. If the interior was half as good as a ram
How quickly can someone remove that tailgate when you are doing a home improvement store run? I was at my local Target, I overheard someone saying "someone stole my 3rd row of seats" as I walked to my vehicle.
Traded my GMC for a new Ram. General Motors needs to spend some money on their interiors !!
Too little too late. The Ram makes the GM trucks look obsolete.
RAM for the win easily. You’re welcome.
Thank you for the review. Looking at many reviews and having bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Longhorn, although I'm usually a GMC guy, I must say that I'm very happy with the new RAM as the interior is just superior to anything GMC or any other pickup truck manufacturer currently offers. The RAM is super luxurious with lots of leather and real wood applications, the panoramic sunroof, ... it just feels like a super luxury cruiser. And the RAM has the 5.7 L Hemi and with the 3.92 rear axle ratio excellent pickup and performance.
The new GMC Denali is kind of disappointing on the inside, seems like a lot of plastic around the dash, just doesn't seem luxurious. Exterior styling for the new GMC Sierra is nice, but it looks more like a facelift than a new truck vs. the RAM is all new and we get stares everywhere we go (which is unusual at first and I'm not so comfortable with that as I just want to enjoy my truck without attracting too much attention; I guess as more higher trim RAM's are on the road, that 'attention' will fade; but true the RAM is a beautiful truck on the exterior and just superior on the interior).
On the pricing too, even though a fully loaded RAM of the higher trim levels like the Longhorn and Limited can easily cost USD 65k - USD 70k, but with some incentives at the right dealership and comparing all the various offerings of the luxury pickup truck segment the RAM overall is just a better buy in my opinion.
Tailgate? Over engineered and just waiting for problems with soil etc getting into the different angles as you mentioned. These vehicles are so big that they take up all the road in Australia and you can't fit them into a parking bay.
Gordon Clark By the time you get it here would be $200. K
The horrible chrome and the central stack infotainment set up is just horrid
I am looking forward to the 2020 Ford and I thank that GM can look forward to falling to number three in sales behind Ford and the great new Ram that is the Benchmark for 2019. GM makes a good truck you can't be number two for 42 years with a piece of junk.
Look at that tiny screen on the infotainment....should have 10 inch screen minimum
Agree! Its probably a useable size but just looks small due to the massive cabin.
Will take a Ram
The fact that truck cost anything over 55k is disgusting. That isn't luxury, at all. I wonder what their margins are on that truck for the amount of plastic, plastichrome and cheap leather there is. They bulked up the front WHICH LOST THEM FUEL ECONOMY FROM LAST GEN. That tailgate is cool but I wanna see how well it holds up after smashing into trailer hitches like 4 or 5 times since it doesn't clear them (cant use the step with a hitch on your truck). As a kid I always wanted a silverado growing up but GM dropped the ball so hard on the new sister trucks, I'm forced to go with a RAM, but RAM did so damn good with the 2019 1500 that I'm far from upset.
Yeah Ram may not have the best-looking exterior looking truck but it's definitely better looking than last year's model but the interior completely destroys the competition
No legroom or decent head space for 6’6” guys on these GMC’s
Silverado and Sierra win by far. Definetly the most reliable.
ha ok!
I agree, As a Ford and GM fan of trucks, The Ram is now at the top for interior. I like the bumper footwells but the tailgate is gimmicky. Ford's tailgate step is perfect, not too complicated but very useful. It just needs the corner footwells. I was shocked the 6.2 tow rating is not considerably higher.
at least Zach you could of brought the truck too Hastings and main...lol
for all u haters out this this truck is awesome no matter what they due people will find something they dont like. I do agree the price is way to high and I wouldn't pay it, but the truck is nice . the problem I found with the 5.3 very disappointing motor, very sluggish my dad has a 14gmc regular cab only and my 12 quad cab ram hemi motor is so much nicer and quicker.gm needs to do something w 5.3 since it is in most of their trucks
Zack, when you say it shifts so good. Well yeah, it's brand new, of course it's going to shift well. Everything is going to be great. But the matter of the fact is that it's going to be in a junk yard in 5-10 years. I would put GM below Chrysler in reliability.
That GMC is just Refreshed as far as I can tell , just a new body . Interior is not much different to the 2014 Chev Z71 . That column shift has got to go !! Is this 1969 or 2019 ?? Ram all the way . Though I don’t need a truck . Rock block will solve the stones going between the joint of the tailgate . Check Amazon .
I never did get what people had against column shifters. I remember inexpensive dodges in the 60's that had push button transmissions.
ktpinnacle In this case it looks out of place . The rotary dial in the Ram cleans up the dash nicely as does a console shifter . This truck doesn’t offer a console shifter at all , why not ?
I think the additional dial or buttons just makes the dash/console more cluttered. Maybe I'm just old school.
ktpinnacle Nah , I remember my dads 66 Valiant had column shift and so did the 69 Cornet 440 . Everybody’s different .
I had to look it up. I remember my grandfather having a sea green dodge and a later blue 4-door Coronet. No Torqueflite transmissions? I thought at least one had push buttons.
The interior, pano roof option, and adaptive cruise control are the only 3 reasons I chose a ram limited over this Denali. How Sad GMC
Love the Exterior but the Interior needs work
Given the numerous recent recalls on the 2019 RAM, it's no longer a consideration for me....
That's kind of where I'm at. Really want the ram, but don't feel like it will be reliable at all.
@@michaels7984 I'm back to the F150 again, really liked the GMC AT4 with the 6.2L, test drove it, interior has me a little queezy but I could live with it, but, at the price of premium and the retaliatory blow pricing on 2018 F150's....I'm sticking with Ford, no issues that I've encountered with their latest generation of trucks.

After that I had transmission/drivetrain problems. Spent another 36 days at the dealer and they acknowledged the problem but said they couldn't fix it. So I'm pretty much stuck.
The RAM!!! The GMC has the best exterior and tailgate functionality but seems like they ran out of money on the interior. RAM has best interiors of all the pickup trucks and the ride on its Limited series is the smoothest. I text drove the majority of truck trims in the past 3 weeks...RAM all the way. GMC seemed heavy and a little rough on the drive.
Denali rocks, Awesome truck! Want a car buy a ram.
I kind of think this truck looks like a modern day Ranchero.
Uh, ram, just look at the interior and exterior.... Maybe because it’s outside... It may look better under shop lighting, where it will be seen the most, the service dept.
it's an 80k truck with a 25k interior
That pretty screen everyone is so crazy about is junk. They lock up all the time, won't turn back on for hours and then you can't access anything because they chose to put everything into that junk screen. The rest of the truck is good but that screen needs to be fixed. Not to mention if you use it as a truck and not just a grocery getter that screen will just get in the way and probably get broken/cracked.
