17:47 joe stays giving us heart attacks😅
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the trucks with
You
I just bought one in black. You taught me a few things I didn't know like the subs in the tail gate. My wife's gonna love that. Thank you. Got my 2024 used (previous owner put 5k miles on it and traded in for something smaller) saved me about 6k on MSRP.
This truck is insane. Capable, luxury and it has a lot of cool and useful features, loved it.
You hit the nail on the head!
Joe, you know I like big trucks and I can not lie!! This GMCs got back!
'Oh my gosh, Becky look at this truck, it is so big...." 😆 🤣 😂
You freaking crack me up!
100k for a truck , insanity
Thats pretty much the base price for all these trucks man 😅
Pricing is insane.
@@seanallen9044 you are spot on!
Union labor rates and materials = killing us...
You can make back the dough in 6 months if you use it right...
1week in of ownership. This truck is a beast in towing with all bells in whistles interior.
5 star
Enjoy those payments
@MrMistajone Just sold a 24 Sierra 3500 Denali Ultimate Dually for 103k and the guy wrote a check. Never assume....
@@josesanchez8037 that situation is the vast minority. Most idiots with these trucks have payments.
@@MrMistajone - sure dude. Here's another guy who pays cash for vehicles. Admit you can't afford one and move on.
@@razorwired130 I pay cash for vehicles too dude. Fuck off Beta
Amazing truck. I had a 2023 Ford F350 Super Duty Platinum on order since October 2022 and 8 months later I was still waiting with no end in sight. Then Ford announced that going forward they were cancelling the massage seats due to supply issues and that was the last straw. Went to my local GMC dealer. They actually had a sold Denali Ultimate on the lot that I could look at. They said no problem ordering one so I did...a 3500HD in Sterling Metallic... and it should be here in about 4 months. Very excited! Thanks for the great video; it definitely validated my decision to switch to GMC.
I did the exact same thing. Got one off the lot, Cancelling my Ford order.
Let’s gooo!!! A refresh on the new GMC HD!! Love the new design and features with new technology, especially this Denali ultimate !! 🔥🔥🔥HD Truck!
GM has definitely come a long way. Especially with their truck interiors and diesel engines. Remember the 6.2 Detroit when it came out in the 80's? 0-60 in 1 hour and loud AF. This Denali interior could easily rival that of a Mercedes S-Class now.
If only I had a use for a big pickup truck everyday......
And another great review by Raiti's Rides.
I appreciate you sharing your great points!
The top ford interior is way nicer
In those days we bought big blocks we passed on the diesels.
@@atg1338 - That used to be the case with the older GM HD models. This interior is easily on par with Ford and RAM.
@@razorwired130 nope ... lots of plastic, no pano roof, no rear ac seats, the seats in general are flat and hard compared to ford and ram.
Great review!! I almost had a heart attack at @17:45 mark 😂
Thanks for mentioning the chrome inconsistency. It was the first thing I noticed when I first saw the Vader chrome on a 1/2 ton.
11:40 that is a GIANT turning radius😭😭
Well it’s a giant truck
Every light duty diesel has its fans and haters but I'm a big fan of the Duramax. Great review and holy giant truck Team Raiti!
Thanks Gary for sharing your thoughts on this one,
The Sierra Denali Ultimate hands down is the best looking truck inside and out!
I’m glad that you are loving this one.
GMC did a awesome job.
Just needs all trim in Vader chrome and panoramic moonroof and would have been the perfect truck
Tell them to put an extra ball in there! I always appreciate the sense of humor Joe. Ball Protection!! LOL!
Took delivery of my 3500 Dually Ultimate Denali it’s amazing, I especially like the cluster and infotainment video that runs priors to start up super cool
I’m with you that it needs a better sunroof, the cover needs to be power and it should also be suede don’t know if you noticed but it’s a cheaper material just for the sunroof cover
17:47.🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂 Joe you are the best if we go South or North or East or West
Oh my goodness!! I can't wait to drive one.
You will love this one!
Probably my favorite truck in this segment, and agree with you would prefer for the chrome to all be the dark chrome if it’s going to be there. Also, I almost bought a box of Twinkie’s today, but fought hard past the urge.
Don’t “kick her!” LOL I think I speak for all dads watching this video when I say I subscribed for the dad jokes! 9:54
Thanks for letting me share the trucks and the laughs with you!
Hi Raiti's Rides How Are You You Make Great Video Can You Make A Review On The 2023 Ford Escape Platinum Have A Nice Day
I will get that together for you!
Bong is going in that back seat compartment
Love you Guys Love the Chanel! I'm picking up my 2024 GMC 1500 Elevation in Volcanic Red 5.3L V8 on Wednesday & I can't Wait. My last Truck was a 84 RAM.
Keep up the good work ❤ Hi Steven 👋
“Every guy and girl wants a bulge “ 😂
You know it brother!
Lol, speakers in the tailgate, that's great. Sweet truck, love the interior! Too expensive, but sweet!
Everything is too expensive
@@RaitisRides BidenMerica
@@RaitisRides No argument here 🤣
Just got one last Friday…exact same truck, color, everything. It’s pretty unbelievable. Mine has the Max trailer/tow package so has the 3500 frame, suspension, brakes, differential…it’ll tow a house.
I agree on the crome. I shouldn't have to but if I could afford a $92k truck I would customize and get rid of all of that chrome, get rid of all the badging, and do a nice non-factory paint.
989k and counting. 1 million coming soon 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for having my back!
Another awesome review Raiti’s rides!!❤
Took delivery of mine about a month ago and I have no complaints. Love everything about it so far.
How comfortable are the seats? Are they wide enough, soft or firm? Is the limited more padded?
@@grndtikal1 I have no way to compare it to the limited, but I like the seats a lot, very comfortable.
I think they are very comfortable
Joe!! Do you have enough laundry detergent to keep washing the same outfits 😂 I love your style tho, much love keep up the videos!!
There's my new dream truck right there. Denali ultimate HD. Real cowboy cadillac right there.
Dream big Chris!
@@RaitisRides yessir.
GMC has the best looking trucks on the market right now.
They need to make a Yukon 2500 that would be cool
That would be insane!
They used to. Actually I think they still do but only sold as fleet vehicles. Mostly for security that have armor added and bulletproof glass. I know somebody who has one now and just sold his old one but his is I think a 2013 the one he had before that had a big block in it still.
@@JesseLJohnson imagine an updated version. Or some sort of Escalade v 2500. Wishful thinking lol
Joe, I would suspect that if the average buyer is worried about the EPA rating for this beast, they'd be better off looking at a Honda Ridgeline! Just sayin'... At any rate, I absolutely LOVE the updates to this GMC 2500 Denali Ultimate! Considering the HP plus that outstanding torque rating, you could haul just about anything you'd like with this beautiful truck. By the way, I totally agree about the need for the super cruise option. At any rate, I'm sure I'd be quite happy with it. What a great review.
Sold my 2018 Silverado HD LTZ, got $32K for it, to replace my exact truck from Chevy ( wait for it), $79K, SCREW GM, bought a 2024 Tundra limited loaded panoramic moonroof, JBL sound, Crewmax 6.5' bed, paid $64K, I'm never going back to the greedy bastards at GM,,, but great review Joe, it is a nice looking rig
Just beautiful. Probably will never be able to afford but wow
Agree with needing the full sunroof
They should put the 3rd generation mirrors on 2024 gmc chevy just to look how it looks or atleast options between 3rd and 4th generation mirrors on 2024 2500hd
I wish you would ve showed us the climbing ability by running over the red Prius that was to your left.
I like that idea! Lol
Ordered this truck in March and I’ll have it in 2 weeks, I think it’s beautiful and interior is beautiful. The re-design on the Ford is hideous in my opinion. This is much more aggressive.
Updates? How are you liking it so far? I’m considering trading in my black diamond 2021 for it
@@maximomigueljr700 I’ve had the truck since end of May, and all I can say is it is absolutely amazing, rides like an Escalade and is a huge head turner ! The interior is beautiful, much more beautiful than ford & Dodge in my opinion, I say go test drive one if you can….I know not many Ultimate HD’s are sitting at dealerships but give it a try ! Not one issue with the truck either.
I see these things so often where I live and they are nice but I can't stand their headlights, the low beams are like ULTRA high beams. Especially if your in a sedan, right in your eyes.
Great Job Joe!!! Still doing awesome reviews 👏
Buy an SUV or a truck. Or lift your sedan. Most of the reason people buy SUVs & trucks are for the safety. Sedans will always lose vs a larger vehicle.
@eblamo and most people own both, that's not a resolution 🙄
This truck is incredible. I will own this truck🖤.
What’s your opinion on ride quality. Ordered one, and kinda on the fence of taking delivery due to ride. trading up from 2020 ram limited…the interior is actually nicer in the ram even though it’s been around since 2019
I just bought a half ton Ultimate Duramax. Making me think maybe I should have waited a couple weeks and got the 3/4 ton lol. Its only about $10k difference in price. The dealer I got mine from has one in now so does the other GMC dealer in town and I found another that has 4 of them.
If only we could have them all.
You are the only one from all the car reviewers that you mentioned the column shifter that had to be leather like the ram has And I agree with you hundredpercent good review as always 👍
A refresh on the new GMC HD!! Love the new design and features that is a really nice Denali ultimate.
The previous Denali was not that exciting. The other brands luxury would trump it easily BUT looks like GM did something about it finally.
A few things to note from your video. We all know GM takes his time to bring changes to its products.
It takes typically two years more than the competition to bring technology to their products. There are some exceptions of course but they are being too cautious to try things.
1 - Frontend very nice. I like the functional hood air dam. Ford had the big C clamp LED since 2017 MY. I also prefer the dark badging over the red or the gold.
2 - Nice wheels. Nothing new about center caps.
3 - Mirrors.. Looks a bit weird and Ford has better ones.
4 - Box side steps, should be optional on higher trims. Standard on a work truck. Some 3rd party businesses offer a step delete option.
5 - Bumper steps, nice but the first version was too small for the steel toe boots! Corrected.
6 - Tailgate, nice response to Ford's after making fun of it. Stereo integration is a nice touch.
7 - Bed LED that's a normal option, hookups: 400w...Ford has options up to 9.6KW
8 - Interior. MUCH BETTER. Door panels are nice but go look at RAM and FORD's Limited. Nice big Infotainement. Prefer this than vertical one in the RAM (release in 2019... 5 YEARS AGO lol). Cameras crarity it tops in the GM. Toggle switches are nice. The tailgate release is positionned in a way where an accident is bound to happen while reaching in the cubby hole. Hopefully they opted for the double tap on every tailgate release location like Ford did. Seats, I hope they are better than the previous models. Everybody knows both Ford and RAM seats are more comfortable. Especially in the Ford Limited. Massage function.. it was available back in 2017 in the Fords. Manual steering tilt and telescopic... yeah that's a definite zonk. Nothing wrong with the shifter but it does hinder the Infotainement view when in drive.
9. - Retractable side steps.. again Ford had them in late of 2016.
10. - Panoramic roof. Don't care. Never did and it's a very expensive option or Zonk as you said. Power sliding rear window.. nothing new there in any truck. Heck the Toyota Tundra's whole back window goes down.
11. - Room. They are all spacious but most people over 6'2"+ will opt for leg room in the Ford both front and back. The GM under seat storage is smaller and Ford's collapses to make it near flat to make room for big items with seats up.
I didn't even mention Ford's more power/torque and better fuel economy on their 6.7.
It's a really nice truck but you guessed it my pick is the Ford Super Duty Powerstroke (in the Platinum trim).
Good review Joe. You seem too excited though... I know it's for the show. Now spend some time in a 2024 Super Duty Limited and you will soon forget that Denali Ultimate.
The Nissan titan comes with Kicker speakers in the bed aswell.
I bought this truck in this color but with black polished wheels and color matching fender trim. lots of money.... but i absolutely love it
That is fantastic Dave! Thank you for sharing that great ownership input.
Beautiful truck inside and out!
GMKC did it really well.
Definately agree needed the Black Crome( gun metal finish) throughout. Inside and out. Would like to see it on the rims as well. And either black crome or color match fender trim. Otherwise loving it.
When's the 24 Silverado HD ZR2 out
Great question
Wait, if the air tube is connected to the hood, does that mean that the hood can’t be opened while the engine is running?
Sun roofs don’t thrill me at all. If I could order the Ultimate without it I would. I’m still waffling between these two. Gotta have that Duramax one way or the other.
I’m sold. I’m ordering one today
Definitely GMC 2500 over the Ford F-250. The truck has everything you need and more with an incredible blend of practicality and luxury to meet every aspect of daily living including work. Plus the overall look of it screams truck in a great way. I agree with some of the shortfalls, but they are so minor compared to more important requirements and practical use features of a truck. Price point is a little high, but you do get a lot with that price, and are paying for the name as GMC Denali’s have always been known for their luxury and price.
Yes,yes,yes oh and yes!! Haha I’m so excited for this Joe cause as of lately GM has been becoming my favorite for trucks lately and this is other example of why. No zonks at all for anything on it but now the price is extremely high.
I am so glad that I can share you the excitement with this ons.
@@RaitisRides Yes thank you so much.
Nice truck 🔥
I am glad that you like it!
Fantastic review as always Joe. Id rarher buy a Ford or maaaybe even a ram before this imo
Looks much better than the previous model .
I agree with you!
The 1500 Denali Ultimate has Super Cruise. I think the reason for not having SC is because it's a much larger truck and maybe DOT compliance requirements.
Exactly what I thought. I'm sure if it was possible, GM would've added Super Cruise to the HD trucks as well. As you mentioned, the 1500 has it.
cant wait to see this truck sit in the dealers lot for a year. really excited
In your dreams. Our next 6 ultimate HD's are all pre-sold. Sorry you can't afford one.
They actually don't sit bozo
I dont know y GMC/Chevrolet dont offer a panoramic sunroof for that price point/model year but its a truck i will definately be on the lookout for in the future.....
Tell me about it Franco!
Its a monster, love transformers GMC headline.
Truck-con!
Raiti's double entendres are rich today.
Thanks my friend for letting me share it with you!
If you can afford one of these, you are blessed 😇
I subscribed just because you referenced the Egyptian divine ratios that look timeless. I just got a Denali Ultimate in Silver. Its gorgeous.
I am here for the super sized zonks!!
I like the way that you think!
Joe, great review.
Unfortunately the government has robbed us being able to hear those wonderful sounds that a diesel engine makes.
That is a dam nice truck though
As of today, I’ll be going Ultimate when I order my truck.
GM is still playing catch-up with the interior for respective trim levels. Power train is in the same boat with the turbo lag and GM made transmission, not Allison.
You can’t look at this as a normal work truck and say 100k is crazy. Just look at what 100k gets you from other companies and you’ll realize it’s actually a decent price. That’s a luxury suv + a crazy capable work truck + off-roader. If it was European that shit would cost 200K
Behemoth!
Big time
JOE > that truck is massive, ya look like a kid standing next to it & you're 6 foot tall. for a GMC I like it. it reminds me of the old video game Tetris the way all the body pieces fit together. brilliant review, awesome post per usual for the best auto review channel online. it's why I'm here. just to be considerate - Happy Mother's Day. your buddy tony
Its not recommended to use those front hooks to pull something out. It's tough on the transmission.
This is a nice truck, however I prefer a ram truck in a nice blue, good review my friend.
Everyone has their favorites
What do you like better about the Ram?
When the 2024 Sierra 1500 will be available. Any idea?
Front grille of that says ……..get the #*%! Out of my way !! 🤣
Bingo!
Joe you’re so funny 😭😂
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
🇺🇸 *Beautiful GMC Sierra HD Denali Ultimate* !! *LOVE the styling changes on the interior and exterior* !! *WOW* !! *Actual buttons on this dash* !! *This is WAY out of my budget* !! *Need to win the lottery* !! *Fantastic content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitsRides 🇺🇸
If you don’t play, you can’t win. Thank you for letting me bring it to you!
@@RaitisRides True!! LOL!! 🤣
I would only spend 100k cuz of the "ball protection" 😂😂
Good call!
They did hit the marks perfectly with this truck! Love everything about it! Great review! As always!
That truck's bigger than my condo.
I totally believe it!
Great job, Joe & Steven. I really enjoyed the review. If I won the lottery tomorrow this truck would be one of my first purchases, lol....Love the color!
Great review. I’m sold.
Can somebody please feed this man?
I know right! LOL
Hi joe! That is a awesome car! I 100% support you! I'm your biggest fan because you are a legend!
MPG's (A) in the city, (B) on Highway, and (C) Combined.
Shit when I pull up the the country club always hide that watch you rocking. Perfect
Does the 2024 canyon come with 6cyl anymore?
Wish I could have seen you climb into that truck. Did Steven remove the step stool? 😂 Nice review of a much improved GM interior. Too bad they had to cheap out on steering wheel and shifter.
It has electrically deployed running boards. I wish Joe had shown us.
This truck is a big tank. Sterling Silver looks great with the dark chrome grille The flat black around the wheels is a zonk the mirror caps, Sierra Denali HD badges and door handles should be dark chrome! Thanks Joe for the review and on throttle action also Steven working hard as always 👍👍
Of course, it's better, it's a professional like a rock version.
You nailed it
I love new GMC truck look good 👍 and Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
Great Denali HD Ultimate..I would do dark chrome on all the other chrome and carbon fiber on everything else..Definitely Panoramic Roof and Super Cruise..And finally some Custom 24” Wheels and Michelin Tires..Almost forgot the leather handle on the shifter..lol P.S. Be hiding toys for the woman..lol😱🥰😂
It is cheaper than the 250 King Ranch. I am trading up to if from the 1500 AT4. Feel like I can't survive without the HUD. Love the interior color.
Should have a console shifter instead of on the column.
Name a single heavy-duty truck with a console shifter - I'll wait. If manufacturers ever move away from HD column shifters then put the shifter in a rotary dial on the dash - ala RAM 1500. Console mount takes up valuable real-estate.
No
When are you gonna review the 2023 super duty you just waiting on the higher trims then lariat or no?
In a couple weeks Steven!
😂 17:50 caught me by surprise
Does it have air ride?
Yes!! It is, Joe... 😉
