To be fair, this is a top trim, luxury truck. You don’t have to buy this version if you want a simple truck. But I’ll admit, even base model versions aren’t as cheap as they used to be.
You know what's even crazier... the 2014 duramax I was driving with a trashed body and an engine knock 440k miles is 8500 trade in... the 2015 I'm driving now has 200k miles and has a private party of 40k

This truck is so massive I have a hard time thinking it won’t instantly be destroyed on narrow off-road trails or even fire roads - if it ever ends up leaving the Walmart parking lot that is
Car industry as a whole is still struggling to sell vehicles with current high interest rates and continued parts shortages. GMC is like, “Here’s another $100k truck that’s too expensive to actually do its intended off-road tasks because any damage would hurt its resell value.”.
I bought a Silverado new 12 years ago for like 25k. Perfectly fine, does everything I need it to do, and I still have it. With even the most basic trucks approaching 50k, I see no reason to upgrade.
same. I decided to treat my truck well and do any upgrades and maintenance to keep it going. Even a new transmission or engine is only 10% the cost of a new truck.
Same here got mine in 2018 for around 30k . Now same truck 52k and up. My friend has one of those hd 2500 paid like 80k for it. He had a nice silver rado before it was older than mine I think me getting a new truck inspired him but with these prices I'm not inspired to do anything but drive through a car wash with mine 😅..
Well compare ur towing capacity to this truck and everything else .. this truck is for people that actually need it for towing and running business landscaping construction ect
I love when Doug reviews trucks, especially HD's, because you can tell he's not a truck guy. Its kind of endearing to listen to him talk about them in like an "awe, look at him go!" Kind of way.
Guaranteed absolutely no one who buys this trim will be towing or going off road regularly. Source: owned a specialty truck myself near this price point and thought I’d use it a lot but I didn’t. Sold it after a year.
I don’t. On my way. I shouldn’t have that much at 26 yet, but I’m still part of that group. Owning a new pickup is about the same chances as winning the lottery at this point.
I don't even have $10k in my retirement saved up, but I reckon those kinds of trucks are for 6 figure salary individuals if they can afford it alongside payments that stretch for time. I just have the most basic truck from the 90s, good enough for what I need it for, aside from not having 4WD.
$100,000 HD edition, sierra edition, Off road edition, aev edition, at4 edition. can't leave the main trails because only has 35" AT tires and weighs 6 tons
I've had mine since March and use it to pull my race trailer as well as my trailer to Moab. It's not any bigger than the F250 Tremor, and the AEV package is nice, but. my unfiltered review over the last 10k miles is...meh. I just bought the AEV package because it looked nicer and I like the interior upgrades. It's actually very easy to park because of all the cameras and tows the trailer like it's not even there. The winch package is kind of a joke - it only allows for a single style of ComeUp winch (another $2k) and requires a $500 installation kit. The truck does go off-road and it's nice to have the clearance in Moab, but if you want a full size truck for off-road, then you're much better off buying a Raptor which is 10x the truck this will ever be off-road. But, for a lot of towing with ease and the occasional need for high-ground clearance, it's a good all around truck. The IFS is much more comfortable to drive than the Super Duty and Ram and handles much better. On the big down sides, the polish may be nice on the GMC, but it has far fewer options than the Ford, isn't nearly as comfortable, and the stereo is just terrible. How is Bose even still in business? It should be worth noting the Infotainment system Doug loves requires a subscription, quickly begins to lag overtime, and is SLOW AS F*** when it comes to navigation because it relies on a strong cell-signal. You'll quickly want to shoot your dashboard. Clearly this is not my daily driver but I do own a farm and haul often, so if you have the use case it's a good truck with plenty of power and it looks nicer than most IMHO. Anyway, if you're in the market and tow a LONG distance through various terrains it's a good truck, but I'll probably replace it as soon as they release a newer, less ugly Super Duty.
Another thing worth noting, this truck is actually a lot smaller than you might think inside. The F150 is a lot roomier inside with much better ergonomics. This truck is long and tall, but if you drive a Raptor this truck will feel oddly normal sized and even somewhat cramped. I don't agree with saying this is competing with the Raptor; it just doesn't fit the same use case being an HD truck and the Raptor. You buy this to tow first and off-road second. You buy a Raptor to off-road first and never tow anything.
It actually has a lot of functions, use, practicality, towing/hauling capability. Majority of people seems to only care about “horsepower” and quarter mile times to justify its price.
It can tow anything you'd ever want, is pretty reliable, can carry five people and their stuff, can be driven in all weather and do light off-roading, and has good features. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class can only do some of those. The price is reasonable for what you'd get.
That's the kinda mentality of why you don't have 100k to burn for no reason. See I take 30k and lose it all at the casino but when I hit big one day I'll be here to laugh about it on my next comment

You know I still have my 1998 GMC Sierra 5.0 liters. I don’t have engine, transmission or electrical problems like the new ones have. Yes, it’s an old truck. And I love it, would not trade it for anything.😊
It's made for people that will have it as a business write-off. General Contractors are masters of the write-offs 😂 This felt very obligatory. I've never seen Doug so underwhelmed in a 100k+ vehicle 😂
20:54 A friend of mine that’s a Ford fan told me that Ford F250 Super Duty has the Tremor package which is just the same as the At4 package in the GMC. The Raptor package is more for the high performance off roading.
The Tremor and AT4 are kind of more inline with Dodge/Ram's Power Wagon models. The Raptor was in a league all of it's own until the Ram TRX. GM makes a ZR2 Silverado that's like a half assed Raptor but it's no where near as capable.
Ford has an extreme off road package for the superduty as the tremor package. Comes with locker in back, limited slip in front, a lift, 35”tires, a whole host of other off road goodies beyond what the normal offf road package has.
6:32 in my Volvo V40 cc (and probably all other Volvos), you can lower all windows by long pressing the central unlock button and raise them all at once by long pressing the central lock button. I use it all the time, especially in summer.
@@KarthikVishwamitra they usually buy trucks like these because they can tow a lot and are comfortable for the whole family for road trips and heavy payload
When the average price of a vehicle is over $50,000, there is a good chance that there are vehicles costing well over $100,000. Only in this decade have we seen a lot of vehicles with six figure price tag. No wonder why no one can afford any brand new vehicle.
Everyone complaining about the size of this are effectively complaining about all full sized trucks. The difference in size between a 1500 and a 3500 is negligible. Sure, a 3500 is structureally stronger than a 1500, but most manufacturers share a lot of parts across models.
Volkswagens had one touch open all windows on the key fob 20 years ago 😂 from outside the vehicle too not on the dash once you’ve entered a hot as car but I digress cool review nonetheless
When you mention that the HD version of trucks tend to be on the bumpier side, Doug, it's because the leaf spring suspension packs are extra beefy for the added towing/hauling capability. Without any weight in the back, it behaves like very stiff suspension. It slacks up with weight on it.
The rear view camera mirror was first out with in the Cadillac CT6 in 2016. So 8 years ago. It should be available on every trim level as a safety feature. It's wonderful.
I love my 08 Duramax (LMM). New enough to have enough modern amenities, old enough to not worry about warrantees when modifying or damage when using it to do actual work.
"Your knee hits these knobs on the left of the steering wheel." Well, maybe if you're not driving with the steering wheel in your crotch your knee wouldn't hit the knobs
Hey Doug. This is Darnell Gholston out of Bakersfield California. I was just listening to a thing on UA-cam about Jay Leno‘s “ending of life,” plans. Just out of curiosity have you ever thought about taking over his show? I know you have your own thing which is a wonderful awesome out of this world that we all love. But if I had to nominate someone to carry on Jay Leno‘s garage, it would definitely be you. Hopefully that’s not an insult. But you share the same passion.
The ride quality is a by product of being able to tow an excessive amount of weight. To be able to handle the 20-30k lbs, you have to have stiff suspension
Yeah, I was honestly surprised to hear Doug say he couldn't figure out why HD trucks have poor ride quality. It's pretty simply math that you have to have a stiffly sprung suspension to handle the kind of payload and towing these things are rated for, also bigger tires don't always mean a softer ride, most of the A/T tires are 10ply or better with very stiff side walls to resist against trail damage which also contributes to a poorer ride quality.
That is a NICE, very desirable truck. I’d have absolutely no excuse to have one but I want one. I remember when the HD trucks maxed out in the high 70’s/low 80’s tho. Car prices are getting out of hand and it’ll happened in just the past 5-7 years. It’s crazy.
And here we go, we’re crossing into territory where a 2500 class regularly creeps into six figures. In 5 years, the 1500s will be up near the $100k point, and RAM is already close with the $90K 1500 Tungsten. Just madness. I’m taking my $100K and buying a Porsche at that point.
If you don’t drive a truck this looks absurd. But when you pull up to a 1500 or even 2500 you get immediate respect. It’s like a camero vs a Corvette. This is the Corvette of trucks. Few can afford them making them rare and every truck owner wants one. Crazy money for a crazy truck.
@@SaintCyrX my area is full of lifted gigantic trucks and most of them get off on harassing everyone else on the road. changing lanes right into you, forcing you to steer off the road. passing UPS trucks by driving into oncoming traffic without a care, forcing you to steer off the road. modified exhausts to be 20x louder and "roll coal" in your face. improperly modified HID headlights to blind everyone around them. pretty sure the cops watch this stuff happen and cheer.

Now don't get me wrong, I rode in various Ford Super Duty models and the ride quality is freaking amazing, I prefer even a base model F350 to any fancy Merc/BMW, but still - if classifying them as commercial trucks prevents them from clogging up the narrow roads, I'm all pro that.
I have the Chevy 3500HD LT trim with the gas engine and every option, was about $67k a little easier to justify the price. I tow my camper with it and daily drive the truck, a great all around vehicle.

@@bengagnon2894non truck guys are people who are not insane enough to spend $100,000 on these emotional support vehicles and instead see trucks as utility vehicles for, you know, actual work.
Seeing that massive vertical front bumper and grill, the "king of the road" height with the lift kit, and the sheer size --- all I see in this truck is a battering ram that WILL kill people compared to any other car in a given accident. 110 children are injured or run over in driveways every week. That's 5700+ a year, over 60% of which are caused by large vehicles. This was not an issue two decades ago, and it is mind boggling to me that this is not a point of condemnation, let alone a point of note in this video.
Funny how you think you should decide the subject matter of this channel. Also funny how you think you understand pedestrian deaths and think that, suddenly, pickup trucks have magically become far more deadly to pedestrians, without realizing that large vehicles have been the norm for many decades.
I love GM's Multi-Flex/Multi-Pro tailgate. The only issue with this tailgate, granted that because of the steel bumper there are not side steps, is that there is a weight restriction up to approx. 375 pounds (170 kg). Therefore if someone is heavy, the multi-flex tailgate won't be ideal.
This is why I'm a huge proponent of buying used cars. 100,000 for a truck is still insane to me. I know reviewers knock off points for low resale values on certain brands but for those of us who buy used it's a blessing.

My dad was a state department official in Europe for over 30yrs and we maintain second home there. One awesome benefit is he has Land Rover Defender classic and Toyota 70 series, I get to drive when I'm there.
If Trump gets in office either that changes or Mercedes and bmw and kiss their USA sales goodbye
At 7:00, glad to see your 100k super truck has the same window switches as my 30k used base model Acadia. And yes, they feel cheap and plastic like.
That chalky button plastic that GM uses in everything from a rental Malibu to a loaded Escalade annoys me so much. It's so cheap.
I'm not sure if this one has it too, but the black film GM vehicles have on buttons and switches tends to peel off with normal use.
You know I still have my 1998 GMC Sierra 5.0 liters.
I don’t have engine, transmission or electrical problems like the new ones have. Yes, it’s an old truck.
And I love it, would not trade it for anything.😊
It's made for people that will have it as a business write-off. General Contractors are masters of the write-offs 😂 This felt very obligatory. I've never seen Doug so underwhelmed in a 100k+ vehicle 😂
Only place this monstrosity will go is parking lot of Walmart

20:54 A friend of mine that’s a Ford fan told me that Ford F250 Super Duty has the Tremor package which is just the same as the At4 package in the GMC. The Raptor package is more for the high performance off roading.
The Tremor and AT4 are kind of more inline with Dodge/Ram's Power Wagon models. The Raptor was in a league all of it's own until the Ram TRX. GM makes a ZR2 Silverado that's like a half assed Raptor but it's no where near as capable.
The heavy duty trucks bounce around when they aren’t loaded. They are designed to haul/tow and ride much better when they are loaded up
I'm British (I think that was the accent) and yes, the Americans have gone crazy with their trucks.
And I love it, and I want one.
17:16 Doug the type of guy to moan when operating a tailgate
Hahahaha
Extendable mirrors was a cool feature, nice for when towing a caravan.
Dougs the kinda guy who after a group photo says "lets take a silly one".
"It looks long and big and it is long and big" was my nickname in college.
Your nickname in college was Lonely Whacker
More like your nickname is the state prison ... brobich
Doug IS the guy to ask his server to check out Cars and Bids before ordering.
Ford has an extreme off road package for the superduty as the tremor package. Comes with locker in back, limited slip in front, a lift, 35”tires, a whole host of other off road goodies beyond what the normal offf road package has.
16:19 the way he says the line lol
6:32 in my Volvo V40 cc (and probably all other Volvos), you can lower all windows by long pressing the central unlock button and raise them all at once by long pressing the central lock button. I use it all the time, especially in summer.
You can have a factory winch. The Dodge Ram Powerwagen has had one since 2005.
custom ordered mine in March and picked it up in May. Drive it almost daily and couldnt be happier
This is the type of truck that can tow (and empty) a gas station at the same time.
just like ur_mom
When the car for review does not fit in the new office
"Can go anywhere" except fit into a parking space lol. Why people buy these monster trucks is beyond me.
To go "offroading" on a beach once and never use it off pavement again
@@KarthikVishwamitra they usually buy trucks like these because they can tow a lot and are comfortable for the whole family for road trips and heavy payload
@tsu.cameron Reality suggests otherwise.
@@tsu.cameron it doesn't need to be that huge to tow anything tho.
@@bengagnon2894 maybe in whatever big city you’re from
I am always down for a Doug “GM review”, always good for a laugh when General Motors is involved! 😂
Doug is the type of guy who only has two channels on his TV,,,, on and off.
Love the English accent doug. All the best from England 😊
When the average price of a vehicle is over $50,000, there is a good chance that there are vehicles costing well over $100,000. Only in this decade have we seen a lot of vehicles with six figure price tag. No wonder why no one can afford any brand new vehicle.
Great review. It definitely wins the big-bigger-biggest contest! Thanks for the video.

Those wheels for $100,000 are a crime against humanity
doug the kind of guy to review something normal and say its normal
Everyone complaining about the size of this are effectively complaining about all full sized trucks. The difference in size between a 1500 and a 3500 is negligible. Sure, a 3500 is structureally stronger than a 1500, but most manufacturers share a lot of parts across models.
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Volkswagens had one touch open all windows on the key fob 20 years ago 😂 from outside the vehicle too not on the dash once you’ve entered a hot as car but I digress cool review nonetheless
When you mention that the HD version of trucks tend to be on the bumpier side, Doug, it's because the leaf spring suspension packs are extra beefy for the added towing/hauling capability.
Without any weight in the back, it behaves like very stiff suspension. It slacks up with weight on it.
My Euroopan mind cannot comprehend.
Europe is a third world heck hole compared to us in America.
Yeah European minds a different .. more prehistoric .. we have advanced minds in here america ...
The rear view camera mirror was first out with in the Cadillac CT6 in 2016. So 8 years ago. It should be available on every trim level as a safety feature. It's wonderful.
Doug is the type of guy who says "hugest" instead of "biggest".
Doug: Look honey I did a hugest dump come take a look
Yeah, he was making up words here
I love my 08 Duramax (LMM). New enough to have enough modern amenities, old enough to not worry about warrantees when modifying or damage when using it to do actual work.
"Your knee hits these knobs on the left of the steering wheel." Well, maybe if you're not driving with the steering wheel in your crotch your knee wouldn't hit the knobs
Hey Doug. This is Darnell Gholston out of Bakersfield California. I was just listening to a thing on UA-cam about Jay Leno‘s “ending of life,” plans. Just out of curiosity have you ever thought about taking over his show? I know you have your own thing which is a wonderful awesome out of this world that we all love. But if I had to nominate someone to carry on Jay Leno‘s garage, it would definitely be you. Hopefully that’s not an insult. But you share the same passion.
The ride quality is a by product of being able to tow an excessive amount of weight. To be able to handle the 20-30k lbs, you have to have stiff suspension
Yeah, I was honestly surprised to hear Doug say he couldn't figure out why HD trucks have poor ride quality. It's pretty simply math that you have to have a stiffly sprung suspension to handle the kind of payload and towing these things are rated for, also bigger tires don't always mean a softer ride, most of the A/T tires are 10ply or better with very stiff side walls to resist against trail damage which also contributes to a poorer ride quality.
Can’t wait to see one in the left lane of the Interstate with Under Armor and Salt Life stickers on the window.
20:00 That's what she said...
I need to see this next to an AMG G63 6x6
Can we make huge cars/trucks extinct
Nope! And you can feel free to stay in California
That is a NICE, very desirable truck. I’d have absolutely no excuse to have one but I want one. I remember when the HD trucks maxed out in the high 70’s/low 80’s tho. Car prices are getting out of hand and it’ll happened in just the past 5-7 years. It’s crazy.
For those wondering if you ever financed a $100K truck, you’re paying at least $1,200 a month
At 84 months (7 years), the payment is still 1600 a month.
That's insane.
No, no! That’s,,,,a house payment!!!
People depreciate that truck and you are getting back $20k
You're forgetting what you'll be paying for interest. Spend wisely...
Don’t forget that it has massage seats. I own this exact truck in Volcanic Red. Non AEV Edition. AT4X Duramax. Exact truck shown at 3:46
Doug is the type of guy to be shorter than a GMC Sierra 2500HD
This is pure American beef! 🇺🇸
Doug's the kinda guy to film a video, then release it 7 months later.
And here we go, we’re crossing into territory where a 2500 class regularly creeps into six figures. In 5 years, the 1500s will be up near the $100k point, and RAM is already close with the $90K 1500 Tungsten. Just madness. I’m taking my $100K and buying a Porsche at that point.
If you don’t drive a truck this looks absurd. But when you pull up to a 1500 or even 2500 you get immediate respect. It’s like a camero vs a Corvette. This is the Corvette of trucks. Few can afford them making them rare and every truck owner wants one. Crazy money for a crazy truck.
That's the worst reason to buy something.
@@SaintCyrX my area is full of lifted gigantic trucks and most of them get off on harassing everyone else on the road. changing lanes right into you, forcing you to steer off the road. passing UPS trucks by driving into oncoming traffic without a care, forcing you to steer off the road. modified exhausts to be 20x louder and "roll coal" in your face. improperly modified HID headlights to blind everyone around them. pretty sure the cops watch this stuff happen and cheer.

Do you know that in the rest of the world you need a commercial driving license (C1) to drive this?
Only in America, a 16 year old who passed his driving test yesterday can drive a GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD
And only have experience practicing in his brother's clapped out '98 Miata.
We prefer freedom here. We don't make people go to trucker school just to drive their personal vehicle.
This is not a personal vehicle. It is 2 wheels away from being a lorry.
@@bwofficial1776 5 ton army truck is not a personal vehicle. Now don't get me wrong, I rode in various Ford Super Duty models and the ride quality is freaking amazing, I prefer even a base model F350 to any fancy Merc/BMW, but still - if classifying them as commercial trucks prevents them from clogging up the narrow roads, I'm all pro that.
@@AdamIsUrqed more like his mom's RAV4. At least the Miata is probably manual
So the back seats have great leg room but the driver's seat doesn't? Way to go GM!!!!
PLEASE UPDATE THE DOUGSCORE SPREADSHEET. THANKS!
I have the Chevy 3500HD LT trim with the gas engine and every option, was about $67k a little easier to justify the price. I tow my camper with it and daily drive the truck, a great all around vehicle.
Ok so I priced out at retail these parts (not wholesale)
1) front bumper with winch - $1211
2) rear bumper - $560
3) 20s with 35s - $1,920

I can’t believe Doug is reviewing a GM truck 😮 Yeees!!
Seeing that massive vertical front bumper and grill, the "king of the road" height with the lift kit, and the sheer size --- all I see in this truck is a battering ram that WILL kill people compared to any other car in a given accident. 110 children are injured or run over in driveways every week. That's 5700+ a year, over 60% of which are caused by large vehicles. This was not an issue two decades ago, and it is mind boggling to me that this is not a point of condemnation, let alone a point of note in this video.
Funny how you think you should decide the subject matter of this channel. Also funny how you think you understand pedestrian deaths and think that, suddenly, pickup trucks have magically become far more deadly to pedestrians, without realizing that large vehicles have been the norm for many decades.
lighten up francis. trucks are cool
I love GM's Multi-Flex/Multi-Pro tailgate. The only issue with this tailgate, granted that because of the steel bumper there are not side steps, is that there is a weight restriction up to approx. 375 pounds (170 kg). Therefore if someone is heavy, the multi-flex tailgate won't be ideal.
If you weigh 375 lbs, it's not the tailgate that has issues lmao
