283k! WHAT? INCREDIBLE! I love that 2011! 🔥 I kind of feel the same way you do.... from the time you got yours, until this recent one there were just some major missing pieces in my opinion, even though they were amazing trucks, and I've had a few of them, this one seems to cover all the bases even with the little issues the truck has finally become world class! Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
I had a 2010 3500 Duramax, wish I still had it. Never any DPF problems, freeway mpg was amazing if I didn't exceed 70 mph, though it had quite a thirst fOR DEF. Now I have a 2016 powerstroke. It's a great truck except for the never ending need for a 45 minute drive to nowhere just to clean the particulate filter. I'm ready for a new truck but it seems they all choke on stop and go driving. I'm trying to decide between another Duramax or a Godzilla. Wife has a 2023 Yukon AT4 and we both love it.
Picked up my 2024 2500 Ultimate in June. My retirement present after 40 yrs. driving a semi for UPS. We love the truck and have had no problems whatsoever with it. Love the cameras in this thing. They are supposed to come out with a wireless camera you can mount behind our travel/cargo trailers that gives you the full 360 visual around the entire rig. We had a F-150 that we really liked but it struggled pulling our toys around, especially in the mountains. Not a problem with the new truck. I see you are down in Tennessee. One of our favorite atv/off road parks is down by you ( Wind Rock). Anyways hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours
I was smiling reading your comment! I could smell the freedom! So happy for you and YES I know Wind Rock! AMAZING! I need to buy some more off-road toys. Thanks for the comment and for watching! Blessings
WOW really appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏼 I'm SUPER excited about your new ride in February!! It really is a joy to use every single day for everything! Blessings, Thanks for watching 👊💥
I’ve had my 2024 Ultimate since May and I absolutely love it, the ultimate interior sold me immediately also and the complete exterior re-design is so much more aggressive looking than the other brands. Highly recommend this truck !
I’ve been buying Fords lately, 17’ 350 Lariat, 21’ 250 Lariat, 21’ 350 Platinum and my current truck, a 22’ 250 King Ranch Tremor. I have a 24’ 350 Platinum that is in production, but I’m honestly thinking about getting an Ultimate instead. I really like what GMC did with the 24’s redesign, and I feel like outside of the powertrain, (I still prefer the Powerstroke and Ford’s version of the 10-speed) GMC really outpaces the Ford as far as design and appearance goes.
@@vortechdgt1 I agree with you ! I’ve never been into ford, only owned GM vehicles and they have never let me down once. Dodge ? Don’t get me started lol such POS, owned one dodge Ram and it was such garbage.
Much appreciated! Thanks for the compliment! 🙏🏼 Yes, they really did..... excited to see all the truck companies push the bar even higher. Nothing like a truck when done right 🔥 Thanks for watching 👍
I have had mine for 7 months, and it is my favorite vehicle that I have driven in over 40 years of driving vehicles. Everything you mentioned is right on the money, the good and the bad . Super Cruise is not offered in GM's HD's, the new global B architecture needs additional memory to handle super cruise, supposedly they are working on it, my guess is it may not appear until the next update. I'm getting over 550 miles with the 36-gallon fuel tank, combination city, and highway griving. The cameras are amazing and makes the truck very easy to park. A Neat feature I recently found is double press and hold down the unlock button on your remote, and all the windows will open (remote window operation has to be enabled in your setup). Also, in settings, you have the option of keeping the running boards deployed while parked. Many features and settings that let you customize the truck to your liking. I tow a 32 foot camper from Florida to Michigan, and the towing experience is great, 15 to 16 mpg, tows thru the mountains like nothing is behind you, vary relaxed towing experience. Take care.
I love what you said and totally agree! If not my very favorite it's one of the top two or three for SURE!! Yeah, I'm excited about the supercruise. I've had it on other vehicles and I do think it's a pretty fantastic feature I agree that 550+ is what I'm getting as well 😁 Even with all five of us and a bunch of junk in the bed it just floats at low RPMs on long road trips comfortably! 🙏🏼 The window feature is amazing! I wish they would go back up too LOL, but hey, at least they got the going down one right. Also, a handy feature is that auto-start even with all the doors open works. I really like how flexible it is... I've had other vehicles where all of the safety mechanisms have to be turned on every door has to be closed. It goes through the safety check and even though that's super important sometimes just being able to auto-start it at any moment it's super helpful. I'm glad they got that worked out. I had no idea that the running boards could be deployed while parked 🤯 That's a great feature... another prevention from door dingers that may want to park too close. I agree the truck no matter what you're carrying you don't even realize it, that engine just doesn't even breathe hard. Thanks so much for the comments and thanks for watching the video. Blessings!
@@larsonny77 Try this, when you close the drivers side door, keep your foot on the step and wait till there is a little jolt of acknowledgement. when this happens, you can take your foot off the step and it will stay down till you open the door again. Hope this works for you. Let me know.
I just spent quite some time looking for this video. I found and watched this video back in the middle of may. After watching 60-70 review videos of this truck after watching this video I bought a 2024 Sierra duramax Denali Memorial Day weekend. Just wanted to say thanks for an honest review and your video made me purchase one after eyeing and reviewing them for months. Great truck so far!
Appreciate that!! It really is a blessing and a joy to ride around in. So many are always asking about being super practical, but sometimes you just get something because you like it! Thanks for watching 👍
Ordered mine in November and finally arrived. I got the X31 3500 w/convenience package crew cab slt in red metalic, dark walnut/slate interior. It has practically everything a Denali has minus sunroof and a few minor options. First thing I'm doing is getting the undercarriage coated. Doing research on Borla exhaust and Banks rear diff cover. Will add Banks turbo to wake up the sleeping giant under the hood later on. Great video. Thanks.
Got mine a little over a week ago and am in love with it! Not sure if you knew or not, but you can actually change the shortcuts on the left of the infotainment screen. All you have to do is drag and drop things from your home screen. I replaced the top trailer shortcut on top with the camera function since I don't tow that much. Way more convenient than having to go to the home screen every time.
I'm so glad you love it. I think the best part about it is it doesn't get old the more you have it the more you like it... that's not common with vehicles. And thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot about the movability. I did it when I first got it, but then I got into a routine. I'm definitely going to move all the icons around and figure out which ones I want and leave the ones least used behind the column shift area. Smart! 👍
This guy is proud of and in love with his truck. Love it I’m the same way with anything I buy. If I don’t get excited to drive it, use it, or buy it I don’t need it ! Great video !
I currently own a 2024 3500 Denali Ultimate. My previous was a 2023 2500 Denali. The first time my mom road in the 3500; "Wow, I thought this would ride rougher than your 2500." My wife and I don't notice a real difference at all in the ride. The feel of the leather from the last one to the Ultimate is night and day; much nicer. We went to a 3500 b/c of a 5th wheel.
I have the same truck. Also live in Nashville. Absolutely love the truck! Wife has the Denali Yukon with Super Cruise which is the only thing I wish I had but I get it. Adaptive Cruise Control works very well. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Nashville! That's funny we actually had the Denali Yukon with supercruise, the tri-coat with the very light cream interior, and she loved it! Great minds think alike! 👊💥 The adaptive cruise is pretty great, I've used it a ton. There's some reasoning behind them not adding supercruise to the 2500. I forgot what they told me but it Has to do with I believe the heavy-duty direct steering as opposed to the electric assist there's something in the mechanism that they haven't brought to the heavy-duty truck yet, but I think it's coming. Thanks for watching🙏🏼
Wow. This is a beast. I looked at the ZR2 Silverado 2500 Auto. But this ultimate is now a real truck. I am glad that GM gave us what we asked for for years. Give me a man's truck. Thank you for sharing this awesome truck
I just bought my dream truck. GMC Denali, ultimate. I'm loving it. In fact, we are loving it. My 3 kiddos, wife and myself. I had an Amarillo Edition. Loved it, I had a 2500 Ram, very nice truck. We have a Raptor. Which we love, but now with this new truck. We're all loving and enjoy it... it's an amazing truck... I don't like not having the steering wheel electrical adjuster, and the 4 things you mentioned. Mine doesn't have the front cabin lights, but no biggy... I got the black wheels that are avaliable for AT4 only, but mine came with those. Very UNIQUE...
You've had some great rides! All the brands have some really great features...wouldn't it be great to take the best of all of them and combine them into one 🙏🏼😁 Love the Raptor too.... had 2010 tuned! My kids keep asking me to get the New Raptor R! Yeah, the little issues aren't a big deal, because the rest of the truck is so great! Have you seen the one-year-later video I did on it... Here it is ➡️ua-cam.com/video/NOaab5tDQnk/v-deo.html Thanks for watching 👍
Gabriel, thank you sir! Masterful review from an owners perspective! Appreciate you’re considerable insights and observations. I have my grandfather’s ‘63 GMC, 4-on-the-floor, 3/4t, 4x4 w/ winch and PTO, in which I learned to drive. Have been leaning Tundra, however, I think you’ve convinced me w/ this video that I need to honor his memory and ease into the modern version of the ole ‘63, ie. this absolute land bruiser and supreme road warrior of a truck, Ultimate HD!
Wow, what a precious memory and a way to feel close to your grandfather! I pulled up pics of 63's just to see it! Beautiful truck....miss 4 speeds 🥹 ...and thanks for such kind words 👊💥 I know if he rode in the new one it would blow his mind.... Hey, and I really think if that's the decision you make you'll smile big every time you drive it! Thanks for watching and sharing such a heartfelt comment 🙏🏼
That is so awesome to hear! Is it incredible how great it is and how it does everything well. Every time the family or just me jumps in it we always comment how thankful we are that we got it🙏🏼 Congratulations on your purchase, I always say if you have one vehicle as a do-it-all it's gotta be a truck! Thanks for watching 👍
have my 2500 ultimate since May (mind this is my first truck ever, I've always been a sport cars guy), put 14k miles in it and love it for all the features you just mentioned. loved the amg gt comparison, I do have a panamera turbo as well and I barely drive it anymore. The truck just has everything I always wanted, cameras that stay on when im driving, no auto-startstop, good interior quality, good enough sound system, and the list goes on.
I know right!!..... It's crazy how you can have high-dollar rides and somehow want to take the truck everywhere... TOTALLY agree, Thanks for watching and the comment! 👍
I appreciate the openness that this is a pavement princess truck for you. A lot of people try to fake it. Some of us off road, Some of us tow, others just like the looks.
Great video. I’m really glad I got a 2024 3500 LT Duramax instead. I have the same engine, transmission, brakes, 13 inch infotainment system with the same camera views..bed, hitch, etc…, multi-folding tailgate, center console…but Chevy doesn’t have the brake controller on the console location allowing for more room so you don’t “hit a tailgate button”, my column shifter doesn’t block the radio view, etc…. Now the front end lights and grill on the Ultimate are much fancier but honestly it’s the same truck otherwise. I paid $73k and the Ultimate is $114k That’s a $41k price difference.
You made a GREAT choice and for the $$ it was smart! Yeah, GMC gets a little bit crazy with options, packages, and add-ons. Imagine if it had a Cadillac badge LOL! Overall I think just the aesthetic look of it is what was most appealing, and the contrast of that onyx black with the brown interior. I thought was pretty classy so excited for you! I know you're gonna get a ton of use from your truck!
I found one used with 5k miles on it in nov 2023.... dealer said it was too much truck for 1st owner and they traded it in for a 1500... perfect for me. I love it.
YES! You got it! Always wanted trucks growing up 🙏🏼 Always needed a truck for something all these years, and either rented one or borrowed one. Thanks for watching 👍
My dad searched for 4 years for a 2 wheel drive truck, and complained the whole time saying: who needs a 4x4 truck. He finally found the truck he wanted, and that winter, he got stuck on a flat driveway in a small pothole. Of course my mom razzed him.
I don't often leave comments. But I really like your personality and the way you do your reviews. Informative, to the point and no BS. Keept it up. Btw, I'm going to be buying 2024 ultimate in 2 days. I will be great full if you can do a review of any accessories you've purchased thereafter, now that you've had the truck for a year. For example, like tonnel cover , and anything else you recommend.
Great video review. Beautiful truck. I have a 2024 Chevy High Country 3500 SRW, and the screen on those was moved higher and it’s completely unobstructed. There is another camera view you never see till your towing. It’s activated when you’re signaling a lane change or turn. It look down the side of the truck and trailer. Love these trucks! GM knocked it out of the park on these.
Yes, I totally agree. GM did knock it out of the park! I noticed that your screen is a bit higher on that model. SMART! That high country looks like a million bucks on the road… GREAT CHOICE 🔥👊🏻🎉
Outstanding review. I just mine on Monday and already loving it. I had the 2023 Denali 2500 with the “ultimate package”. This brought a whole new meaning to Ultimate. The interior alone is worth the upgrade. Then you add the new grill and extra horsepower and you have yourself the best truck on the road. Enjoy!
I’m the same as you! I picked up a 24’ 2500 at4 diesel couple months ago. I don’t need the truck, don’t tow or haul. Just upgraded it from my 19’ ram rebel. Using it for travelling with the family on long trips. Love how big the bed size is to put more of the kids stuff in. I have 3 kids too haha
You sound like my truck brother 3 kiddos and all! LOL GREAT CHOICE!... LOVE THAT AT4! Especially the suspension! I agree that bed is perfect for loading all of the stuff plus tons of extras! Don't you love how it just floats down the highway with everybody in it... EFFORTLESS! Thanks for watching👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial haha yeah I’ll most likely upgrading the suspension in the new year. Going with 3 inch cognito level and have to figure out what shock system to go with. Lots of options with this beast!
Wouldn't it be great to throw a prerunner suspension setup on it!.... like a Baja truck! That more Raptor territory. EXCITED for you to do that, 3 is perfect...not to high....then you automatically go to another level of toughness! @@nabatron21
Wealthy guys and their trucks, God bless America. I couldn’t afford to register that thing. It’s funny, it used to be rich guys got Porsche 911s to show everybody how successful they are, but now it’s ultra high end trucks. Fun to look at and fantasize. Beautiful truck.
Hey, I know exactly what you're talking about! 😵💫 Everybody had to grab a 911 or a preowned entry-level Ferrari. Crazy thing I saw as when I went to Dallas a few years ago on a weekend we were downtown at a meeting and all the Who's Who of the region came to eat dinner that night at these nice restaurants, and I've never seen more decked out trucks in my life! I've even heard statistics that all over the world even in much rougher countries, more than anything they want a big American truck that set up tough looking... They're kind of like the perfect vehicle and now they're so luxurious you never know you were in something so capable at the same time. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! 👍 🇺🇸
No, not to show how successful we are. They're great go anywhere do anything vehicles. On long trips my wife likes to sleep on the back seat. My first truck was a 49 Ford flathead. My first modern one was a 2000 F350 7.3. Hardly "show off" vehicles. Many if us like trucks and the 49 Fords or Chevys are gone forever. Today's trucks have evolved into all purpose family vehicles even the wives like.
@@coolstuff1397 SLT trim package will do all the same things. You only get high-end trim packages because you like them. Nobody needs them. There is no doubt these trucks have become as much a status symbol as luxury and sports cars once held exclusive rights to. That was my point. The utility of them is a totally separate topic, and you’re not wrong.
I just picked up a 2025, had fast cars when I was younger. Now I realize what good is a car that does 180 mph on American roads. Also I can pull my 30’ gooseneck with toys in tow.
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial I think its because with the super fast sports car... that "special thing" about it, was that it could go way way way above the speed limit, and do it insanely fast... except there isnt many times that you can ever safely do that, but on a track... Legally wise, or safety wise... pushing a sports car to its "limits" was neither legal or safe... Whereas you want to use that "special thing" on a big ass 4x4... you can do that... be it renting or buying a huge trailer to haul or going off-roading... you can do both of those things legally and safely (the off road thing as long as you don't try to go too extreme on your first go, at any rate) So you had that "cool factor" only... but you couldnt really do anything with the reason why it was so expensive... Trucks... you can... At any rate... that is my thought on it... Along with a big ass HD truck you can still bring your whole family on vacation with it... its a functional $100k+ multi purpose vehicle... a $100k+ sports car... isn't
Great video. I just bought a 2025 2500 Denali Ultimate that is currently in transit. Should have it in a few weeks and just watching content trying to reassure myself I made a good decision. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!!!
The RAM 2500 is an excellent truck for sure! I know you love it. In the future if you go GMC, that AT4 is pretty fantastic too! That quote was about an honest as it gets 😂 THANKS for watching!
I like your practical review. I have the 1/2 ton version of this vehicle in Sterling Metallic (a 2024) right now. I've really only driven 3/4 ton diesels for the last 20 years with two 1/2 tons interspersed. I'm going back to a 3/4 ton, but ironically - the interior is the thing that makes me pause with the Ultimate. (Remember, I have a 2024 Ultimate in a 1/2 now). It is the brown/auburn; further, it is the brown/auburn with any version of gray outside. I'm 58 on Christmas Day. People my age were taught no brown shoes with a gray suit. The color clash is driving me ba+shi+. I'm caught between an Ultimate and an AT4X (as it is the only one that eschews brown). Having said all of this, I'd like the heavy tow package which can't be had on the AT4X. I don't like chrome much either. Very conflicted.
Very nice review of your truck. Love the interior and exterior design. It’s definitely way out of my price range. I’m glad that you and your family are happy with it.
Hey, thanks so much. It really is a blessing. This thing is amazing. What truck do you have on your dream board? Over the years anytime I would have something as a goal. It always seem to work out. I always suggest that people have something to shoot for that they can look at every day. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Gabriel, I watched this video when it first came out and thought highly of it! Awesome review with plenty of information…….. I’ve owned many vehicles during my life as my wife can confirm haha. I went ahead and picked up mine last month and LOVE it!!! Best decision and best truck I’ve owned so far. Just have to say kudos to you for providing all of your reviews for the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Ultimate Denali.
I have the 2018 Chev LTZ 3500 HD and love it. Really impressed with the added camera views, it's like my Toyota Highlander Limited. Did notice they got rid of the interior roof handles. I never use mine, but could see an advantage to them off road. I do like my solid chrome bumpers, doesn't cost me a thousand dollars if I bump into something. Good video.
Gotta love that 2018! You can't kill it... and it's timeless looking. The cameras are incredible...I use them constantly. 🙏🏼 Yeah just the A and B pillar grab handles... work great, especially for getting in and out. ....I wouldn't mind adding a more military style front and back bumper setup with a built in winch. Appreciate you watching 👍
I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 high country 5.3 with 100k miles. Still in perfect condition and drives nice. Been wanting to upgrade to a luxury truck with some rugged look. I am not towing or using payload for anything . Like this guy I don’t need but want it. He sold me on all of his videos . Nice!
Dude who the eff are you - GMC should hire you permanently - you are one hell of a salesman let alone UA-camr - been in sales all my life, seen millions of reviews - yours is simply EPIC 👍🏼
You’re very kind thanks so much for that comment. I just love vehicles and I always have and I just think a real world perspective without a reviewer bias is important. Thanks again and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼🔥
Thanks encouraging to hear!! What did you notice after adding it? Banks is on the top of my list for all the add-ons as soon as the 2024 parts are released.
Same thing for me w my 07 Duramax. I had 175,000 miles on it. However last month I had an electrical fire in it and now it’s m looking for a new truck (truck was totaled out). Six figures is hard to justify. We will see.
I'm about 5-6 years from affording this truck but the time will go by fast. Thank you for sharing your experience. Beautiful truck. Aspirational content. Been driving diesel for work my whole life, and this feels like the cherry on top as I transition into a whiter collar life. Subscribed.
You can do it! Super excited for you! As soon as your vision goes higher and you see yourself doing more, that world opens up for you and you can hardly believe you ever lived a different life.....and that goes for all areas. I have a feeling you'll get one sooner than that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼👍
Enjoyed the review, I have the 1500 3.0 Duramax and love it. The interior is well done, and seats are way better. The lake of ambient lighting (Ram and Ford have it), Pano roof, and the Bose audio are my biggest complaints on a truck in this price range but I also realize The GMC has some features the other guys don't. I Dont need a HD but I love the bigger bolder look, and the new exterior lighting.. My Ram headlights moved in the corners, does rhe HD?
LOVE THAT 1500!! I've driven it with that engine and it's very special for sure! That 3.0 is definitely brilliant....and QUIET! I do love ambient light for sure...really wish they did that. Having had the New Mercedes S class and the New EQS ruined us to ambient ...best in the biz! 🤯 Agree Pano would be great... Stereo, I listen to teaching & Audible most of the time.... maybe I should crank up the tunes more 😁 Headlight... Would you illuminate the sides pretty well the auto feature is wonderful but for that price point, they could go all out with them because I know the headlight wars out there, especially in the higher end vehicles just leave everything else in the dust, turning lights, cornering lights, multi-dimensional lights that cut away, oncoming traffic and illuminate other areas, the road, etc., etc. I shouldn't be nitpicky but that is such an incredible safety feature. I just wish they would've done that on the big trucks just to make them otherworldly. I know they have the tech to do it. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! 👍
I'd like to build on your vader chrome dislike. They should have made ALL chrome accents on the truck (window trim, door handles, DENALI HD badging...) vader chrome. That would take this truck visually to the next level. Otherwise absolutely beautiful truck!
Well said, not a bad idea...AGREE!! That would have taken it over the TOP! 🔥 My boys and I talk about having wheels, slight lift, dark accents, and a tuner added soon. ALWAYS something huh LOL! 💰 THANKS for watching 👍
If you like the Mercedes G Wagons, here is the review I did of mine... ENJOY! ua-cam.com/video/t44nDh-IxtY/v-deo.html and if you like the NEW TESLA CYBERTRUCK... It finally came! here: ua-cam.com/video/AS9ukpNsGc0/v-deo.html
Picking my 1500 up Thursday! Had a new 2015 Yukon Denali, then moved back down to a 2012 Avalanche LTZ because of the seats, soooo excited you like the new seats, I’ve never liked how hard they were! I get Supercruise in the 1500, glad it’s available. Great review, thanks!
I bought an AT4 with all of the same options. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned! The seat vibration when I’m too close to the lane always makes me think a text is coming in 😂
GREAT CHOICE!! Love the AT4 🔥 Yes, the seat buzzing was interesting at first! 😀 I've seen people Jump thinking it was a buzzing bug of some kind LOL! 😳 Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks SO MUCH, glad you enjoyed it! I think when you own something, it gives you a relaxed honest perspective that makes sense. Appreciate you watching and for the compliment! 👍
That 3500, in that red, is going to DOMINATE!! Awesome choice.... and glad you ordered it the way you wanted it! SMART! Banks seems like a solid choice all the way around 👍
Thank you so much!! AHHHH that AT4 is incredible! 🔥 One of my favorite things about the AT4 is how the suspension has a bit of an off-road feel, it reminds me of a motocross suspension ever so slightly... and that's very appealing on that truck. You made an excellent choice. Thanks for watching!
Hope to see following additions in the future... Passenger mirror doubles as a mini TV, it can extend out 10 inches or so and back to normal size mirror when not in tv mode. Add recliner seats for all seats (yes even the driver during self drive mode) Seats can combine with back seats and convert into a bed Add tv screen into the back of the driver/front passenger seats for the back passengers Heated floors, and (the seat is already heated but add arm rests with heat too) Full rear window should go all the way down (electric controlled) Panoramic WIndow (electric controlled) All windows should be controlled by voice command for lowering and raising (come to think of it, all controls be voice command, no reaching for buttons) Install a lift (not just a bed step) -Great for loading bricks or generator ect. Interior mood lighting multi-color options AC mood fragrance, install 5-10 of your favorite scents bottles into AC system During self driving, steering wheel retreats and seats can turn to face each-other for a more social environment with the family (middle compartment retreats to open floor plan up) Pop out table for eating or laptop work, mini fridge built into back seat that slides out and even microwave built into door for each passenger (miniature sizes just to fit a cup of water) enough to heat tea, coffee or hot cocoa on those long winter drives
Well, just purchased mine. I haven't taken delivery yet, but it's growing on me. My current truck is a '17 Denali 3500. Traded it w/92k.. previous was a '16 Denali 3500, and previous to that was my '07 Chevy LTZ....sooooo looking forward to picking it up
I’m in the same car situation as you. Porsche 911’s, AMG GT63 (4-door), BMW coupe’s, sedans, SAV’S. I have a 2006 dually crew cab 1-ton F350 that I only use when I have to, but snow blade our roads with it in winter. I do NOT need anymore vehicles, but this one you have is mighty tempting.
LOL!!! I totally get it...I have thinned out my vehicles because just managing them was a bit of a challenge. Love the 63! I had the GTR in Green Hell Magno! Always love our Mercedes 😁 Thanks for watching.... Sorry if I added to the craziness with the Ultimate... But have to admit, you'd LOVE IT! 🚀
This review?!?! This review AND reviewer is superior to a lot of mainstream car reviews/reviewers on YT. Thanks for the amazing and informative review! Subscribed..
You are such a blessing to say that! I really appreciate that, and will continue to make content that is helpful and encouraging! 🙏😎 Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the video. I have a F250 Platinum and I'm thinking of changing it up. I used to tow a 30' center console from GA to FL but now I just need a truck for getting around. I like the look of this one.
Hello Sir, your review is one of a kind, I made my purchase decision based on this amazing coverage , you deserve more views and subscribers, big thanks👏
WOW WOW!! Makes my day to hear that it made a difference 🙏🏼 What did you end up getting, color/model? And thanks for the compliment.... I am excited to see the #'s go up with views and subs! 👊💥 Appreciate you watching! 👍
I really like the elevation model.... VERY SOLID looking truck for sure!! Isn't that nice to say after 25k that you still love it! 👊💥 Happy for you! Thanks for watching and for the comment 👍
Try the retrax eq, it works with the factory key fob. Tap the unlock button on the fob 3 times to open, tap the lock button 3 times to close and watch it open and close. It’s heavy duty made from aluminum and has a five year warranty.
I owned the previous Denali, loved it even with the GM problematic issues. I couldn’t afford the $100,000 price tag and off topic, bought a 23 left over Nissan Armada platinum that has been absolutely amazing for $20,000 off msrp.
COME ON!! love it.... great truck and great engine! We had that engine in our suburban and LOVED it! Couldn't kill it and we had a TON of miles on it when we sold it and it was still perfect. Enjoy your new ride! Thanks for watching 👍
Love how passionate you are about ur truck. l’m european and thinking of buying a GMC 2500’ like this in the near future. Then eventually moving to the US for engineering🤩
Thank you for the compliment 👍 I know you'll really enjoy driving one! Being up high and the structural integrity of the whole build is a great feeling. The practical use daily never gets old, and my kids love riding in the truck more than any other vehicle we have. It's like driving a giant Lego set. Excited for you and the new chapter here in the US! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Has been a blessing 🙏🏼 Thanks so much for the comment. GMC has really upped their game. I think the truck wars have gone to a whole new level... excited about the next few years to see what all the truck manufacturers produce!
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial For sure! I got 8 more years in the military until retirement so who know what design they'll have by then. For my retirement gift I'm getting w/e 2500 there is lol
Appreciate all of your opinions. Anyone can read a fact sheet back to us. I have a 22, (3500 Denali) so not hardly any differences except for the interior (and arguably, few there, but looks WAY better). Again, your opinions are what really help here so thank you very much.
Thanks for the compliment! Agree, reading a speck sheet and having no real-time connecting with something that you'll hand back off to the manufacturer doesn't give the connection I would be looking for for sure when making a decision. You've got a GREAT truck that 22/3500 is AWESOME! Thanks for watching 👍
Have a 2500 AT4. Also has the sticky glovebox. Figured out if I kind of push the right side of the button, it opens fine. Love all of the same things you said. One other I love is the lane departure warning built into the seats. It's suttle enough without being annoying. I've had some that start beeping noises in the vehicle, or want to jerk the vehicle back into the lane. I also love the cameras and one of the best parts is that the left and right cameras on the mirrors automatically come on in full screen when you put the turn signal on while towing. It's an amazing safety feature.
One comment said....WD40! 😂 Agree with what you said those features are quickly missed when driving other vehicles. The Buzzing was odd at first but now totally subconscious. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Thanks for the review. We’re also a family of 5 with two large boys and a little one. Coming from a Yukon XL and having trouble figuring out if a truck will work. This video helped! We travel a lot, putting an average of 20K miles on the vehicle each year.
Totally get it! Had a Yukon XL as well... when the kiddos were little it was HUGE to them. Now that they are older they don't need the TVs, snacks, toys, and blankets that were mandatory to go anywhere LOL! Miss those days... We are actually at getting the new 2025 Yukon XL when its released later this year as well. But now everyone just jumps in and we get it done. If you do go in this direction, you'll be glad you did. Even if you need another big vehicle as well, having a truck is a blessing! Excited for you 👊💥 Thanks for watching 👍
Im a Tacoma Guy! Gave up on GM and Ford but man oh man😅. You did a great job with this video! Great Buy! Please do another video @100K , if you still have it.
I have the max tow, I drove them both back to back and the ride seemed the same unloaded. They add the extra leaves that don't do anything until you load it up then the come in to play.
Good morning. Good video. #1 enjoy your truck. Let the negative comments roll on. I moved from the 2020 Denali Hd to the ‘24 Hd ultimate. I’m in NC. The first thing I did within 2 days was tint the windows. My previous was tinted and noticed immediately the sun blasting me and my family 😂. Agree with you about the shifter and tailgate button. The trailer brake is in a better position, GM got that right. I like the extra HP and torque when I tow. The seats are better. With the lumbar adjustment,I like the addition of the bolster adjustment. The mods that I had on my previous, I added to this one as well. Mostly dealing with the outer trim and lights. For instance my OCD kicks in with the license plate lights. All that hd lighting in the rear and they install bulbs for the plate that my grandmother used in her house. Again, enjoy!
Hey, thanks so much for the comments, really appreciate it. I know you and your family are loving your new ride! You made a great choice. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes those little things could definitely be worked out better. I am thankful as soon as I got the truck, they had already tinted all the windows for me, so it keeps us from roasting, but you're right the GM glass doesn't push out the rays like some other vehicles do...gotta tint it! It's CRAZY.... you will see the most amazing vehicle and they'll do everything right and then they will go super cheap on a lightbulb or a piece of plastic or something. That just makes zero sense LOL!! #partsbin
Men are not the only ones buying trucks. I was offended by your remark regarding men have to have trucks. I bought my husband the Subaru Outback he wanted and I went and got the Truck I wanted. Now he is ready for wanting my truck and a new one! Loved the review though, Thanks!
Something about trucks that just grab ya 😁... it serves my family every day at some level. Glad I'm not renting or borrowing one anymore since I've been buying them 🙏 Excited to hear what your husband gets. Thanks for watching 👍
I bought a GMC 2500 HD Sierra. He didn't pick it I did and bought it, with credit and for my trailer. We will be driving across the country in April. Yes, I drive it as well as my husband. We are a team, we are happily married for twenty years.
Oh goodness!!!.... 😵💫 I know right! I really had to battle that too! But I've also driven the 1500 both diesel and 6.2 and love them both, even love the SuperCruise. VERY SMOOTH and daily usable and they look GREAT!! 1500? What model color etc?
The diesel is flawless quite and tons of power! I was VERY surprised how much I loved it....so much so I get a Denali Yukon with it in it.... and the 1500 had even more HP. The 6.2 is tried and true and bullet proof, with a great V8 sound, but has the same torque #'s as the diesel I think day in day out if you're not launching it off the line all the time.... the diesel is the winner ( personally) I've also had the 6.2 in an Ultimate Yukon also amazing.... but that diesel is so easy to live with....and the mpg is awesome! The color choice is tough! Those are both GREAT options! @@andreadimatteo7988
Great Review!! Couple things about mine: 1. Disappointed with the tailgate recall they’re acting like isn’t a big deal as there’s no fix yet, mine crashed down while I was towing causing damage, which they fixed, but the tailgate has two other times on its own. 2. Running boards came up on my son’s foot, didn’t crush his foot luckily. 3. I didn’t know about the max tow package so luckily didn’t get that because it drives like a Cadillac compared to my Raptor I had before.
Appreciate the compliment! 🙏🏼 Yeah, agree the tailgate story is interesting.... not thrilled about that. Goodness thankful those running boards have that soft-close feature. The Max tow package is slipped in there many time on the build sheet with the 5th wheel as a "resale" idea from the dealers many times. I believe it does a perfect job as a 2500 without a 3500 ride feel. Thanks for watching 👍
Means a lot... appreciate that! I do cover different stuff for sure, hope it's all inspiring. I will definitely be doing more vehicle videos, really enjoy it! Thanks for the sub! 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial Best car reviewer I've seen (and I've seen a lot). When I looked down I was confused how you only had 2k subs. You're one of the only reviewers I've seen that hit all the "meta details" left out of a lot of car reviews (paraphrasing) "I feel like a guy is kind of limping along if he doesn't have a truck." You blend the objective with the meta/subjective with all the meta details like no one else, with incredible pacing. I also think you hit a gap in the market place of "the normal professional truck guy." Keep it up!
@@_giles Your reply got me thinking even more......THANK YOU for the kind words! I agree there is a gap that I believe would be welcomed and very helpful! 2k subs LOL.... hey I'll get there, especially with help from my teenagers 😁🚀 ~ Blessings!
cummins owner here. best thing you can do for the health of that motor is a delete. that doesnt mean insane noise and power and smoke. you can do a simple tune very clean with no smoke and do a 4' with muffler and good to go. banks also makes some great products
GOTTA LOVE CUMMINS! 👊💥 It really is nuts how much they have suppressed and corked the engines up in general... 😵💫 I keep hearing everybody saying that it's hands-down the best thing to do for the engine.... and it can be done like you said with very minimal noise increase and almost no smoke differences. I keep circling back around to Banks, the man has so much experience it's crazy! Thanks for the comment and for watching! 👍
Thanks SO MUCH for watching my video! Wanted to say a HUGE congratulations on your UA-cam success.... super inspirational to see how well you're doing! Blessing on your continued success!! 🚀 I know you'll be at a million soon! 🙏🏼🔥
Love your review. I have the 1500 Denali and LOVE IT. My only complaint is the feel of the upper glove box. You press the button and it comes flying as it is spring loaded. It should have had a soft dampened opening as if with a shock absorber.
Totally agree it does fly up too quick. 😵💫 That could have easily been designed a bit better. I plan on putting some very thin glovebox felt on the sliders so they open smoother and quieter. 🤓🧐 Thanks for watching 👍
I can't agree more with sir. I love my sierra with the new interior and new fascia! Its the best refresh ever!! I'm not a glass roof person, I don't even use the sunroof on my suburban, so don't offer me a moonroof😂. Oh and the additional air vents in the back seat are onder the driver and passenger seats. ❤
I have had 2500 diesel’s in the past but currently in a Ram TRX. I enjoy the TRX but I hate there are no buttons and I am constantly messing with the touch screen. I also tow a trailer with motocross bikes and it’s not built to tow. The gas mileage is terrible as a daily driver. I just ordered a 2500 Denali Ultimate I hope I love it as much as you do!!
I have heard similar comments from TRX owners. I really do believe you will enjoy it when you get it! It's not the motocross suspension feel you get from a TRX or Raptor but it's so effortless and solid that I know you'll enjoy the Gentlemen's feeling it puts off! Excited to hear how you like it! Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for this video 👍🏿 I just got my ‘24 Denali 3500 ultimate and I love it. I was going to delete it but it doesn’t seem worth it it to me. I pull my Escalade to shows and stuff with mine and it don’t even flinch 👍🏿💯. Well worth the price if I do say so myself.
COME ON! 🔥 🚀 AWESOME! Excited for you and your new truck!.... It's so strong as it is... I know we're not exactly suffering LOL!! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! CONGRATS!
Gabriel rocks out reviews! He doesn't miss a thing and gives it to you straight - no BS! Can we get him to explain in plain language how Congress works? LOL!
I have a 2011 Duramax Denali with 283,000 miles. I planned on keeping it until I die. GM has finally made a Truck worth the upgrade.
283k! WHAT? INCREDIBLE! I love that 2011! 🔥
I kind of feel the same way you do.... from the time you got yours, until this recent one there were just some major missing pieces in my opinion, even though they were amazing trucks, and I've had a few of them, this one seems to cover all the bases even with the little issues the truck has finally become world class!
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
I drive an 07 LBZ it’s got 301K😆 My dad has this exact ultimate he got in November and man it’s freaking nice
Epic truck
@@GabrielSedlakOfficialI have a 2012 Silverado 1500 with 255k miles I use in the logging woods daily
I had a 2010 3500 Duramax, wish I still had it. Never any DPF problems, freeway mpg was amazing if I didn't exceed 70 mph, though it had quite a thirst fOR DEF. Now I have a 2016 powerstroke. It's a great truck except for the never ending need for a 45 minute drive to nowhere just to clean the particulate filter. I'm ready for a new truck but it seems they all choke on stop and go driving. I'm trying to decide between another Duramax or a Godzilla. Wife has a 2023 Yukon AT4 and we both love it.
Picked up my 2024 2500 Ultimate in June. My retirement present after 40 yrs. driving a semi for UPS. We love the truck and have had no problems whatsoever with it. Love the cameras in this thing. They are supposed to come out with a wireless camera you can mount behind our travel/cargo trailers that gives you the full 360 visual around the entire rig. We had a F-150 that we really liked but it struggled pulling our toys around, especially in the mountains. Not a problem with the new truck. I see you are down in Tennessee. One of our favorite atv/off road parks is down by you ( Wind Rock). Anyways hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours
I was smiling reading your comment! I could smell the freedom!
So happy for you and YES I know Wind Rock! AMAZING!
I need to buy some more off-road toys.

WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD THEY PLACE THE DEF TANK RITE NEXT TO THE FUEL TANK, IS BEYOND ME! 😂😂😂
The heroes who made this prestige truck, the most beautiful truck in the world, GMC, a distinctive mark, the pride of owning this truck.
Thank you for the comments 👍
This is by far the best review I’ve seen so far, my wife and I are purchasing this model in February….tyvm very informative
WOW really appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏼 I'm SUPER excited about your new ride in February!! It really is a joy to use every single day for everything!
Blessings, Thanks for watching 👊💥
I’ve had my 2024 Ultimate since May and I absolutely love it, the ultimate interior sold me immediately also and the complete exterior re-design is so much more aggressive looking than the other brands. Highly recommend this truck !
YES and YES!!....totally agree the interior is what sold me too, CONGRATS on an amazing choice!
Thanks for watching 👍
I’ve been buying Fords lately, 17’ 350 Lariat, 21’ 250 Lariat, 21’ 350 Platinum and my current truck, a 22’ 250 King Ranch Tremor. I have a 24’ 350 Platinum that is in production, but I’m honestly thinking about getting an Ultimate instead. I really like what GMC did with the 24’s redesign, and I feel like outside of the powertrain, (I still prefer the Powerstroke and Ford’s version of the 10-speed) GMC really outpaces the Ford as far as design and appearance goes.
@@vortechdgt1 I agree with you ! I’ve never been into ford, only owned GM vehicles and they have never let me down once. Dodge ? Don’t get me started lol such POS, owned one dodge Ram and it was such garbage.
@@keelynnemalek8498Ford are better if you actually use it as a “truck” not just a commuter.
@@keelynnemalek8498have you ever towed anything???
By far, this is the best review I've seen on a vehicle. These newer Denalis are perfection. GM did a great job on the updates.
Much appreciated! Thanks for the compliment! 🙏🏼
Yes, they really did..... excited to see all the truck companies push the bar even higher. Nothing like a truck when done right 🔥
Thanks for watching 👍
I have had mine for 7 months, and it is my favorite vehicle that I have driven in over 40 years of driving vehicles. Everything you mentioned is right on the money, the good and the bad . Super Cruise is not offered in GM's HD's, the new global B architecture needs additional memory to handle super cruise, supposedly they are working on it, my guess is it may not appear until the next update. I'm getting over 550 miles with the 36-gallon fuel tank, combination city, and highway griving. The cameras are amazing and makes the truck very easy to park. A Neat feature I recently found is double press and hold down the unlock button on your remote, and all the windows will open (remote window operation has to be enabled in your setup). Also, in settings, you have the option of keeping the running boards deployed while parked. Many features and settings that let you customize the truck to your liking. I tow a 32 foot camper from Florida to Michigan, and the towing experience is great, 15 to 16 mpg, tows thru the mountains like nothing is behind you, vary relaxed towing experience. Take care.
I love what you said and totally agree!
If not my very favorite it's one of the top two or three for SURE!!
Yeah, I'm excited about the supercruise. I've had it on other vehicles and I do think it's a pretty fantastic feature I agree that 550+ is what I'm getting as well 😁
Even with all five of us and a bunch of junk in the bed it just floats at low RPMs on long road trips comfortably! 🙏🏼
The window feature is amazing! I wish they would go back up too LOL, but hey, at least they got the going down one right.
Also, a handy feature is that auto-start even with all the doors open works.
I really like how flexible it is... I've had other vehicles where all of the safety mechanisms have to be turned on every door has to be closed. It goes through the safety check and even though that's super important sometimes just being able to auto-start it at any moment it's super helpful. I'm glad they got that worked out.
I had no idea that the running boards could be deployed while parked 🤯
That's a great feature... another prevention from door dingers that may want to park too close.
I agree the truck no matter what you're carrying you don't even realize it, that engine just doesn't even breathe hard.
Thanks so much for the comments and thanks for watching the video. Blessings!
Need that ability to leave the running boards out to wash them.
LMAO that tank in Ontario Canada would currently be 272$ to fill up or 202$ USD.
@@larsonny77 Try this, when you close the drivers side door, keep your foot on the step and wait till there is a little jolt of acknowledgement. when this happens, you can take your foot off the step and it will stay down till you open the door again. Hope this works for you. Let me know.
I just spent quite some time looking for this video. I found and watched this video back in the middle of may.
After watching 60-70 review videos of this truck after watching this video I bought a 2024 Sierra duramax Denali Memorial Day weekend.
Just wanted to say thanks for an honest review and your video made me purchase one after eyeing and reviewing them for months.
Great truck so far!
Glad it was helpful! I hope it is a wonderful truck for you! It's been amazing for us so far!
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Do I need a 2500? No. But I want it. lol. This guys a mans man, he gets it. Great video.
Appreciate that!! It really is a blessing and a joy to ride around in. So many are always asking about being super practical, but sometimes you just get something because you like it!
Thanks for watching 👍
Ordered mine in November and finally arrived. I got the X31 3500 w/convenience package crew cab slt in red metalic, dark walnut/slate interior. It has practically everything a Denali has minus sunroof and a few minor options.
First thing I'm doing is getting the undercarriage coated. Doing research on Borla exhaust and Banks rear diff cover. Will add Banks turbo to wake up the sleeping giant under the hood later on.
Great video. Thanks.
Got mine a little over a week ago and am in love with it! Not sure if you knew or not, but you can actually change the shortcuts on the left of the infotainment screen. All you have to do is drag and drop things from your home screen. I replaced the top trailer shortcut on top with the camera function since I don't tow that much. Way more convenient than having to go to the home screen every time.
I'm so glad you love it. I think the best part about it is it doesn't get old the more you have it the more you like it... that's not common with vehicles.
And thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot about the movability. I did it when I first got it, but then I got into a routine. I'm definitely going to move all the icons around and figure out which ones I want and leave the ones least used behind the column shift area. Smart! 👍
thank you 🙏🏼 didn’t know that. i just made that change 👌🏼
Me too! made a big difference 👍👊💥
This guy is proud of and in love with his truck. Love it I’m the same way with anything I buy. If I don’t get excited to drive it, use it, or buy it I don’t need it ! Great video !
Really enjoyed your real-life perspective on the Denali 2500! Thanks!👏
Appreciate that!
I’m encouraged to keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
I currently own a 2024 3500 Denali Ultimate. My previous was a 2023 2500 Denali. The first time my mom road in the 3500; "Wow, I thought this would ride rougher than your 2500." My wife and I don't notice a real difference at all in the ride. The feel of the leather from the last one to the Ultimate is night and day; much nicer. We went to a 3500 b/c of a 5th wheel.
I have the same truck. Also live in Nashville. Absolutely love the truck! Wife has the Denali Yukon with Super Cruise which is the only thing I wish I had but I get it. Adaptive Cruise Control works very well. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Nashville! That's funny we actually had the Denali Yukon with supercruise, the tri-coat with the very light cream interior, and she loved it!
Great minds think alike! 👊💥
The adaptive cruise is pretty great, I've used it a ton. There's some reasoning behind them not adding supercruise to the 2500. I forgot what they told me but it Has to do with I believe the heavy-duty direct steering as opposed to the electric assist there's something in the mechanism that they haven't brought to the heavy-duty truck yet, but I think it's coming. Thanks for watching🙏🏼
Wow. This is a beast. I looked at the ZR2 Silverado 2500 Auto. But this ultimate is now a real truck. I am glad that GM gave us what we asked for for years. Give me a man's truck. Thank you for sharing this awesome truck
Thanks. Got to appreciate the man’s love for the truck
....something about a truck! 🛻😁🙏🏼
Thanks so much for watching 👍
I just bought my dream truck.
GMC Denali, ultimate.
I'm loving it. In fact, we are loving it. My 3 kiddos, wife and myself.
I had an Amarillo Edition. Loved it, I had a 2500 Ram, very nice truck. We have a Raptor. Which we love, but now with this new truck. We're all loving and enjoy it... it's an amazing truck...
I don't like not having the steering wheel electrical adjuster, and the 4 things you mentioned. Mine doesn't have the front cabin lights, but no biggy... I got the black wheels that are avaliable for AT4 only, but mine came with those. Very UNIQUE...
You've had some great rides! All the brands have some really great features...wouldn't it be great to take the best of all of them and combine them into one 🙏🏼😁
Love the Raptor too.... had 2010 tuned!
My kids keep asking me to get the New Raptor R!
Yeah, the little issues aren't a big deal, because the rest of the truck is so great!
Have you seen the one-year-later video I did on it... Here it is

Gabriel, thank you sir! Masterful review from an owners perspective! Appreciate you’re considerable insights and observations. I have my grandfather’s ‘63 GMC, 4-on-the-floor, 3/4t, 4x4 w/ winch and PTO, in which I learned to drive. Have been leaning Tundra, however, I think you’ve convinced me w/ this video that I need to honor his memory and ease into the modern version of the ole ‘63, ie. this absolute land bruiser and supreme road warrior of a truck, Ultimate HD!
Wow, what a precious memory and a way to feel close to your grandfather! I pulled up pics of 63's just to see it! Beautiful truck....miss 4 speeds 🥹
...and thanks for such kind words 👊💥
I know if he rode in the new one it would blow his mind.... Hey, and I really think if that's the decision you make you'll smile big every time you drive it!
Thanks for watching and sharing such a heartfelt comment 🙏🏼
I owned a 2014 Buick Enclave 2015 Audi A8 2019 BMW x5, last month I purchased this beast and it is the best decision I have ever made.
That is so awesome to hear! Is it incredible how great it is and how it does everything well.
Every time the family or just me jumps in it we always comment how thankful we are that we got it🙏🏼
Congratulations on your purchase, I always say if you have one vehicle as a do-it-all it's gotta be a truck!
Thanks for watching 👍
have my 2500 ultimate since May (mind this is my first truck ever, I've always been a sport cars guy), put 14k miles in it and love it for all the features you just mentioned. loved the amg gt comparison, I do have a panamera turbo as well and I barely drive it anymore. The truck just has everything I always wanted, cameras that stay on when im driving, no auto-startstop, good interior quality, good enough sound system, and the list goes on.
I know right!!..... It's crazy how you can have high-dollar rides and somehow want to take the truck everywhere... TOTALLY agree, Thanks for watching and the comment! 👍
I appreciate the openness that this is a pavement princess truck for you. A lot of people try to fake it. Some of us off road, Some of us tow, others just like the looks.
😂😎
Great video. I’m really glad I got a 2024 3500 LT Duramax instead. I have the same engine, transmission, brakes, 13 inch infotainment system with the same camera views..bed, hitch, etc…, multi-folding tailgate, center console…but Chevy doesn’t have the brake controller on the console location allowing for more room so you don’t “hit a tailgate button”, my column shifter doesn’t block the radio view, etc…. Now the front end lights and grill on the Ultimate are much fancier but honestly it’s the same truck otherwise. I paid $73k and the Ultimate is $114k That’s a $41k price difference.
You made a GREAT choice and for the $$ it was smart!
Yeah, GMC gets a little bit crazy with options, packages, and add-ons. Imagine if it had a Cadillac badge LOL!
Overall I think just the aesthetic look of it is what was most appealing, and the contrast of that onyx black with the brown interior. I thought was pretty classy so excited for you! I know you're gonna get a ton of use from your truck!
I with you only one too buy bunch of no need stuff lol😂
I found one used with 5k miles on it in nov 2023.... dealer said it was too much truck for 1st owner and they traded it in for a 1500... perfect for me. I love it.
I know you’re living your new ride!!
Hard to beat having a truck for sure!
I hope it’s the perfect vehicle for you all around!
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
When it comes to a 4WD Truck . It is BETTER to HAVE IT and NOT NEED IT , then to NEED IT and NOT HAVE IT !

Always needed a truck for something all these years, and either rented one or borrowed one.
Thanks for watching 👍
My dad searched for 4 years for a 2 wheel drive truck, and complained the whole time saying: who needs a 4x4 truck. He finally found the truck he wanted, and that winter, he got stuck on a flat driveway in a small pothole. Of course my mom razzed him.

Absolutely!

I don't often leave comments. But I really like your personality and the way you do your reviews. Informative, to the point and no BS. Keept it up. Btw, I'm going to be buying 2024 ultimate in 2 days. I will be great full if you can do a review of any accessories you've purchased thereafter, now that you've had the truck for a year. For example, like tonnel cover , and anything else you recommend.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching! I will be sure to review any accessories I end up with 👍 SUPER CONGRATS!!!! You will love it!
Great video review. Beautiful truck. I have a 2024 Chevy High Country 3500 SRW, and the screen on those was moved higher and it’s completely unobstructed. There is another camera view you never see till your towing. It’s activated when you’re signaling a lane change or turn. It look down the side of the truck and trailer. Love these trucks! GM knocked it out of the park on these.
Yes, I totally agree. GM did knock it out of the park!
I noticed that your screen is a bit higher on that model. SMART!
That high country looks like a million bucks on the road… GREAT CHOICE 🔥👊🏻🎉
Outstanding review. I just mine on Monday and already loving it. I had the 2023 Denali 2500 with the “ultimate package”. This brought a whole new meaning to Ultimate. The interior alone is worth the upgrade. Then you add the new grill and extra horsepower and you have yourself the best truck on the road. Enjoy!
Super excited for you!! I KNOW YOU'RE loving it!! Such a blessing! Agree the interior is something special for sure!
Appreciate you watching 👍
I’m the same as you! I picked up a 24’ 2500 at4 diesel couple months ago. I don’t need the truck, don’t tow or haul. Just upgraded it from my 19’ ram rebel. Using it for travelling with the family on long trips. Love how big the bed size is to put more of the kids stuff in. I have 3 kids too haha
You sound like my truck brother 3 kiddos and all! LOL
GREAT CHOICE!... LOVE THAT AT4! Especially the suspension!
I agree that bed is perfect for loading all of the stuff plus tons of extras!
Don't you love how it just floats down the highway with everybody in it... EFFORTLESS!
Thanks for watching👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial haha yeah I’ll most likely upgrading the suspension in the new year. Going with 3 inch cognito level and have to figure out what shock system to go with. Lots of options with this beast!
Wouldn't it be great to throw a prerunner suspension setup on it!.... like a Baja truck!
That more Raptor territory.
EXCITED for you to do that, 3 is perfect...not to high....then you automatically go to another level of toughness! @@nabatron21
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial yeah would be nice to have that options from factory. Rancho isn’t the best suspension especially for the price of the truck!
I have done everything from banks in my 2024 ultimate Denali Dooley, you will not be disappointed. The last thing I’m waiting for is the airbox.
Wealthy guys and their trucks, God bless America. I couldn’t afford to register that thing. It’s funny, it used to be rich guys got Porsche 911s to show everybody how successful they are, but now it’s ultra high end trucks. Fun to look at and fantasize. Beautiful truck.
Hey, I know exactly what you're talking about! 😵💫 Everybody had to grab a 911 or a preowned entry-level Ferrari.
Crazy thing I saw as when I went to Dallas a few years ago on a weekend we were downtown at a meeting and all the Who's Who of the region came to eat dinner that night at these nice restaurants, and I've never seen more decked out trucks in my life!
I've even heard statistics that all over the world even in much rougher countries, more than anything they want a big American truck that set up tough looking...
They're kind of like the perfect vehicle and now they're so luxurious you never know you were in something so capable at the same time.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! 👍 🇺🇸
No, not to show how successful we are. They're great go anywhere do anything vehicles. On long trips my wife likes to sleep on the back seat. My first truck was a 49 Ford flathead. My first modern one was a 2000 F350 7.3. Hardly "show off" vehicles. Many if us like trucks and the 49 Fords or Chevys are gone forever. Today's trucks have evolved into all purpose family vehicles even the wives like.
@@coolstuff1397 SLT trim package will do all the same things. You only get high-end trim packages because you like them. Nobody needs them. There is no doubt these trucks have become as much a status symbol as luxury and sports cars once held exclusive rights to. That was my point. The utility of them is a totally separate topic, and you’re not wrong.
I just picked up a 2025, had fast cars when I was younger. Now I realize what good is a car that does 180 mph on American roads. Also I can pull my 30’ gooseneck with toys in tow.
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial I think its because with the super fast sports car... that "special thing" about it, was that it could go way way way above the speed limit, and do it insanely fast... except there isnt many times that you can ever safely do that, but on a track...
Legally wise, or safety wise... pushing a sports car to its "limits" was neither legal or safe...
Whereas you want to use that "special thing" on a big ass 4x4... you can do that... be it renting or buying a huge trailer to haul or going off-roading... you can do both of those things legally and safely (the off road thing as long as you don't try to go too extreme on your first go, at any rate)
So you had that "cool factor" only... but you couldnt really do anything with the reason why it was so expensive...
Trucks... you can...
At any rate... that is my thought on it...
Along with a big ass HD truck you can still bring your whole family on vacation with it... its a functional $100k+ multi purpose vehicle... a $100k+ sports car... isn't
Great video. I just bought a 2025 2500 Denali Ultimate that is currently in transit. Should have it in a few weeks and just watching content trying to reassure myself I made a good decision. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!!!
Beautiful Truck. If I didn’t have a Ram 2500 Cummins it would def be an AT4
Favorite Quote: “Do you need a 2500, No I wanted a 2500”
The RAM 2500 is an excellent truck for sure! I know you love it. In the future if you go GMC, that AT4 is pretty fantastic too! That quote was about an honest as it gets 😂 THANKS for watching!
I like your practical review. I have the 1/2 ton version of this vehicle in Sterling Metallic (a 2024) right now. I've really only driven 3/4 ton diesels for the last 20 years with two 1/2 tons interspersed. I'm going back to a 3/4 ton, but ironically - the interior is the thing that makes me pause with the Ultimate. (Remember, I have a 2024 Ultimate in a 1/2 now). It is the brown/auburn; further, it is the brown/auburn with any version of gray outside. I'm 58 on Christmas Day. People my age were taught no brown shoes with a gray suit. The color clash is driving me ba+shi+. I'm caught between an Ultimate and an AT4X (as it is the only one that eschews brown). Having said all of this, I'd like the heavy tow package which can't be had on the AT4X. I don't like chrome much either. Very conflicted.
Very nice review of your truck. Love the interior and exterior design. It’s definitely way out of my price range. I’m glad that you and your family are happy with it.
Hey, thanks so much. It really is a blessing. This thing is amazing.
What truck do you have on your dream board? Over the years anytime I would have something as a goal. It always seem to work out. I always suggest that people have something to shoot for that they can look at every day.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Gabriel, I watched this video when it first came out and thought highly of it! Awesome review with plenty of information…….. I’ve owned many vehicles during my life as my wife can confirm haha. I went ahead and picked up mine last month and LOVE it!!! Best decision and best truck I’ve owned so far. Just have to say kudos to you for providing all of your reviews for the 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Ultimate Denali.
Also like you, the interior caught my eye!!!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! That means a lot! Congrats on your new truck! 🎉🙏🏼🕺🏼
I have the 2018 Chev LTZ 3500 HD and love it. Really impressed with the added camera views, it's like my Toyota Highlander Limited. Did notice they got rid of the interior roof handles. I never use mine, but could see an advantage to them off road. I do like my solid chrome bumpers, doesn't cost me a thousand dollars if I bump into something. Good video.
Gotta love that 2018! You can't kill it... and it's timeless looking.
The cameras are incredible...I use them constantly. 🙏🏼
Yeah just the A and B pillar grab handles... work great, especially for getting in and out.
....I wouldn't mind adding a more military style front and back bumper setup with a built in winch.
Appreciate you watching 👍
I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 high country 5.3 with 100k miles. Still in perfect condition and drives nice. Been wanting to upgrade to a luxury truck with some rugged look. I am not towing or using payload for anything . Like this guy I don’t need but want it. He sold me on all of his videos . Nice!
You totally get it.... (want) LOL! 😎
It really is a tough ride and so useful... great choice if you decide on it!
Thanks for watching 👍
Dude who the eff are you - GMC should hire you permanently - you are one hell of a salesman let alone UA-camr - been in sales all my life, seen millions of reviews - yours is simply EPIC 👍🏼
You’re very kind thanks so much for that comment. I just love vehicles and I always have and I just think a real world perspective without a reviewer bias is important. Thanks again and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼🔥
I got mine April of 23. Ive had it a year and love it. Just put a Banks Pedal Monster on it and holy WOW!!
Thanks encouraging to hear!! What did you notice after adding it?
Banks is on the top of my list for all the add-ons as soon as the 2024 parts are released.
I am so happy with my 07' Duramax that I just can't justify the 6 figure price tag for a new one. 225,000 miles and going strong! No smoke whatsoever!
Thats incredible! 225k WOW.... Gotta love a diesel!
Thanks for watching 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial I think it started running better after 200k honestly.
Same thing for me w my 07 Duramax. I had 175,000 miles on it. However last month I had an electrical fire in it and now it’s m looking for a new truck (truck was totaled out). Six figures is hard to justify. We will see.
I'm about 5-6 years from affording this truck but the time will go by fast. Thank you for sharing your experience. Beautiful truck. Aspirational content. Been driving diesel for work my whole life, and this feels like the cherry on top as I transition into a whiter collar life. Subscribed.
You can do it! Super excited for you!
As soon as your vision goes higher and you see yourself doing more, that world opens up for you and you can hardly believe you ever lived a different life.....and that goes for all areas.
I have a feeling you'll get one sooner than that!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼👍
Enjoyed the review, I have the 1500 3.0 Duramax and love it. The interior is well done, and seats are way better. The lake of ambient lighting (Ram and Ford have it), Pano roof, and the Bose audio are my biggest complaints on a truck in this price range but I also realize The GMC has some features the other guys don't. I Dont need a HD but I love the bigger bolder look, and the new exterior lighting.. My Ram headlights moved in the corners, does rhe HD?
LOVE THAT 1500!!
I've driven it with that engine and it's very special for sure! That 3.0 is definitely brilliant....and QUIET!
I do love ambient light for sure...really wish they did that.
Having had the New Mercedes S class and the New EQS ruined us to ambient ...best in the biz! 🤯
Agree Pano would be great...
Stereo, I listen to teaching & Audible most of the time.... maybe I should crank up the tunes more 😁
Headlight... Would you illuminate the sides pretty well the auto feature is wonderful but for that price point, they could go all out with them because I know the headlight wars out there, especially in the higher end vehicles just leave everything else in the dust, turning lights, cornering lights, multi-dimensional lights that cut away, oncoming traffic and illuminate other areas, the road, etc., etc. I shouldn't be nitpicky but that is such an incredible safety feature. I just wish they would've done that on the big trucks just to make them otherworldly. I know they have the tech to do it.
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! 👍
That review was perfectly done love the authenticity
Thanks so much for that! 🙏🏼
I'd like to build on your vader chrome dislike. They should have made ALL chrome accents on the truck (window trim, door handles, DENALI HD badging...) vader chrome. That would take this truck visually to the next level. Otherwise absolutely beautiful truck!
Well said, not a bad idea...AGREE!! That would have taken it over the TOP! 🔥
My boys and I talk about having wheels, slight lift, dark accents, and a tuner added soon. ALWAYS something huh LOL! 💰 THANKS for watching 👍
Really great review, and I love the camera work, kept me connected👌🏼
If you like the Mercedes G Wagons, here is the review I did of mine... ENJOY! ua-cam.com/video/t44nDh-IxtY/v-deo.html
and if you like the NEW TESLA CYBERTRUCK... It finally came! here: ua-cam.com/video/AS9ukpNsGc0/v-deo.html
Don’t be jealous if you ca t afford one !
Thank You Sir , gonna check them out !!!
Picking my 1500 up Thursday! Had a new 2015 Yukon Denali, then moved back down to a 2012 Avalanche LTZ because of the seats, soooo excited you like the new seats, I’ve never liked how hard they were! I get Supercruise in the 1500, glad it’s available. Great review, thanks!
Good choice! You're going to LOVE IT! The Supercruise is really great I've used it on road trips and its a great feature!
Thanks for watching!
You lost me at I dont use it for towing.
Yuppie schmuk.
I bought an AT4 with all of the same options. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned! The seat vibration when I’m too close to the lane always makes me think a text is coming in 😂
GREAT CHOICE!! Love the AT4 🔥
Yes, the seat buzzing was interesting at first! 😀
I've seen people Jump thinking it was a buzzing bug of some kind LOL! 😳
Thanks for watching 👍
I like your review video ..the way you talk about every single thing in detail.. in depth.. I really enjoy it .. good job 👍 brother .. awesome 👏
Thanks SO MUCH, glad you enjoyed it!
I think when you own something, it gives you a relaxed honest perspective that makes sense.
Appreciate you watching and for the compliment! 👍
I am picking up mine in January. I factory ordered it back in October. I went with the 3500 Denali in volcanic red. Banks all the way.
That 3500, in that red, is going to DOMINATE!!
Awesome choice.... and glad you ordered it the way you wanted it! SMART!
Banks seems like a solid choice all the way around 👍
Great review!! I just picked up the 2024 2500 AT4 luv it!
Thank you so much!!
AHHHH that AT4 is incredible! 🔥 One of my favorite things about the AT4 is how the suspension has a bit of an off-road feel, it reminds me of a motocross suspension ever so slightly... and that's very appealing on that truck. You made an excellent choice.
Thanks for watching!
Best looking truck by far! Interior and out
They really did an amazing job!
I think that design philosophy is what they are using going forward…. At least let’s hope 😀
Thanks for watching👍🏼
Hope to see following additions in the future...
Passenger mirror doubles as a mini TV, it can extend out 10 inches or so and back to normal size mirror when not in tv mode.
Add recliner seats for all seats (yes even the driver during self drive mode)
Seats can combine with back seats and convert into a bed
Add tv screen into the back of the driver/front passenger seats for the back passengers
Heated floors, and (the seat is already heated but add arm rests with heat too)
Full rear window should go all the way down (electric controlled)
Panoramic WIndow (electric controlled)
All windows should be controlled by voice command for lowering and raising (come to think of it, all controls be voice command, no reaching for buttons)
Install a lift (not just a bed step) -Great for loading bricks or generator ect.
Interior mood lighting multi-color options
AC mood fragrance, install 5-10 of your favorite scents bottles into AC system
During self driving, steering wheel retreats and seats can turn to face each-other for a more social environment with the family (middle compartment retreats to open floor plan up)
Pop out table for eating or laptop work, mini fridge built into back seat that slides out and even microwave built into door for each passenger (miniature sizes just to fit a cup of water) enough to heat tea, coffee or hot cocoa on those long winter drives
Everything you said needs to be in ALL LARGE vehicles!
Love it...I could see it in my head reading it! 🎉
Thanks for watching 👍
Well, just purchased mine. I haven't taken delivery yet, but it's growing on me. My current truck is a '17 Denali 3500. Traded it w/92k.. previous was a '16 Denali 3500, and previous to that was my '07 Chevy LTZ....sooooo looking forward to picking it up
I’m in the same car situation as you. Porsche 911’s, AMG GT63 (4-door), BMW coupe’s, sedans, SAV’S. I have a 2006 dually crew cab 1-ton F350 that I only use when I have to, but snow blade our roads with it in winter. I do NOT need anymore vehicles, but this one you have is mighty tempting.
LOL!!! I totally get it...I have thinned out my vehicles because just managing them was a bit of a challenge.
Love the 63! I had the GTR in Green Hell Magno!
Always love our Mercedes 😁
Thanks for watching.... Sorry if I added to the craziness with the Ultimate... But have to admit, you'd LOVE IT! 🚀
I’m in a 2006 half ton. This is my dream truck.
This review?!?! This review AND reviewer is superior to a lot of mainstream car reviews/reviewers on YT. Thanks for the amazing and informative review! Subscribed..
You are such a blessing to say that!
I really appreciate that, and will continue to make content that is helpful and encouraging! 🙏😎
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the video. I have a F250 Platinum and I'm thinking of changing it up. I used to tow a 30' center console from GA to FL but now I just need a truck for getting around. I like the look of this one.
Hello Sir, your review is one of a kind, I made my purchase decision based on this amazing coverage , you deserve more views and subscribers, big thanks👏
WOW WOW!! Makes my day to hear that it made a difference 🙏🏼
What did you end up getting, color/model?
And thanks for the compliment.... I am excited to see the #'s go up with views and subs! 👊💥
Appreciate you watching! 👍
One of the best reviews from a consumer I’ve seen yet great job. I would definitely buy one from you.
Very kind! Thanks so much for the comment 🙏🏼
Had mine since last December have a ‘22 elevation model. Love everything about it. About 25k miles on it
I really like the elevation model.... VERY SOLID looking truck for sure!!
Isn't that nice to say after 25k that you still love it! 👊💥 Happy for you!
Thanks for watching and for the comment 👍
Try the retrax eq, it works with the factory key fob. Tap the unlock button on the fob 3 times to open, tap the lock button 3 times to close and watch it open and close. It’s heavy duty made from aluminum and has a five year warranty.
I owned the previous Denali, loved it even with the GM problematic issues. I couldn’t afford the $100,000 price tag and off topic, bought a 23 left over Nissan Armada platinum that has been absolutely amazing for $20,000 off msrp.
You are SMART!! Gotta love the Nissan and for the price, it's a lot of SUV! and the Platinum looks great too! 😎
Thanks for watching 👍
Just bought a 21 Denali half ton with the 5.3 last month. Love it thus far.
COME ON!! love it.... great truck and great engine! We had that engine in our suburban and LOVED it! Couldn't kill it and we had a TON of miles on it when we sold it and it was still perfect.
Enjoy your new ride!
Thanks for watching 👍
Love how passionate you are about ur truck. l’m european and thinking of buying a GMC 2500’ like this in the near future. Then eventually moving to the US for engineering🤩
Thank you for the compliment 👍
I know you'll really enjoy driving one!
Being up high and the structural integrity of the whole build is a great feeling. The practical use daily never gets old, and my kids love riding in the truck more than any other vehicle we have. It's like driving a giant Lego set.
Excited for you and the new chapter here in the US!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Man that’s an awesome truck! I just paid off my 2018 Titan so….. I’m thinking! Good video. Man… you must be in sales! You sold me on this truck!
Love gmc trucks glad to see you happy with yours!
Has been a blessing 🙏🏼 Thanks so much for the comment. GMC has really upped their game. I think the truck wars have gone to a whole new level... excited about the next few years to see what all the truck manufacturers produce!
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial For sure! I got 8 more years in the military until retirement so who know what design they'll have by then. For my retirement gift I'm getting w/e 2500 there is lol
My cover for my 2024 2500 Denali is the GMC cover with GMC written on top … looks and works great
Awesome! .... I need to check out that one too.
Thanks!
Appreciate all of your opinions. Anyone can read a fact sheet back to us. I have a 22, (3500 Denali) so not hardly any differences except for the interior (and arguably, few there, but looks WAY better). Again, your opinions are what really help here so thank you very much.
Thanks for the compliment!
Agree, reading a speck sheet and having no real-time connecting with something that you'll hand back off to the manufacturer doesn't give the connection I would be looking for for sure when making a decision.
You've got a GREAT truck that 22/3500 is AWESOME!
Thanks for watching 👍
Have a 2500 AT4. Also has the sticky glovebox. Figured out if I kind of push the right side of the button, it opens fine.
Love all of the same things you said. One other I love is the lane departure warning built into the seats. It's suttle enough without being annoying. I've had some that start beeping noises in the vehicle, or want to jerk the vehicle back into the lane.
I also love the cameras and one of the best parts is that the left and right cameras on the mirrors automatically come on in full screen when you put the turn signal on while towing. It's an amazing safety feature.
One comment said....WD40! 😂
Agree with what you said those features are quickly missed when driving other vehicles. The Buzzing was odd at first but now totally subconscious.
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Thanks for the review. We’re also a family of 5 with two large boys and a little one. Coming from a Yukon XL and having trouble figuring out if a truck will work. This video helped! We travel a lot, putting an average of 20K miles on the vehicle each year.
Totally get it! Had a Yukon XL as well... when the kiddos were little it was HUGE to them.
Now that they are older they don't need the TVs, snacks, toys, and blankets that were mandatory to go anywhere LOL! Miss those days... We are actually at getting the new 2025 Yukon XL when its released later this year as well.
But now everyone just jumps in and we get it done.
If you do go in this direction, you'll be glad you did.
Even if you need another big vehicle as well, having a truck is a blessing!
Excited for you 👊💥
Thanks for watching 👍
What do you do for a living?
Im a Tacoma Guy! Gave up on GM and Ford but man oh man😅. You did a great job with this video! Great Buy! Please do another video @100K , if you still have it.
Thanks for the compliment 🙏🏼
Will do! Appreciate you watching!
Gotta say I love Tacoma's too! 🔥
At 100k that would be a great video!
Lol comparing a Tacoma and a diesel 2500 is apples and oranges... I traded in my tundra for one of these beauties.
I have the max tow, I drove them both back to back and the ride seemed the same unloaded. They add the extra leaves that don't do anything until you load it up then the come in to play.
Good morning. Good video. #1 enjoy your truck. Let the negative comments roll on. I moved from the 2020 Denali Hd to the ‘24 Hd ultimate. I’m in NC. The first thing I did within 2 days was tint the windows. My previous was tinted and noticed immediately the sun blasting me and my family 😂. Agree with you about the shifter and tailgate button. The trailer brake is in a better position, GM got that right. I like the extra HP and torque when I tow. The seats are better. With the lumbar adjustment,I like the addition of the bolster adjustment. The mods that I had on my previous, I added to this one as well. Mostly dealing with the outer trim and lights. For instance my OCD kicks in with the license plate lights. All that hd lighting in the rear and they install bulbs for the plate that my grandmother used in her house. Again, enjoy!
Hey, thanks so much for the comments, really appreciate it. I know you and your family are loving your new ride! You made a great choice. I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes those little things could definitely be worked out better.
I am thankful as soon as I got the truck, they had already tinted all the windows for me, so it keeps us from roasting, but you're right the GM glass doesn't push out the rays like some other vehicles do...gotta tint it!
It's CRAZY.... you will see the most amazing vehicle and they'll do everything right and then they will go super cheap on a lightbulb or a piece of plastic or something. That just makes zero sense LOL!!
#partsbin
I like how your breaking everything down, I have a Hummer H2, thinking about getting a 2025 GMC Sierra Denali..
I love your review! Very personal, very likeable and enjoyable etc.
I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Men are not the only ones buying trucks. I was offended by your remark regarding men have to have trucks. I bought my husband the Subaru Outback he wanted and I went and got the Truck I wanted. Now he is ready for wanting my truck and a new one! Loved the review though, Thanks!
Something about trucks that just grab ya 😁... it serves my family every day at some level.
Glad I'm not renting or borrowing one anymore since I've been buying them 🙏
Excited to hear what your husband gets.
Thanks for watching 👍
I bought a GMC 2500 HD Sierra. He didn't pick it I did and bought it, with credit and for my trailer. We will be driving across the country in April. Yes, I drive it as well as my husband. We are a team, we are happily married for twenty years.
This was a great review! Much better and more practical than some other "truck review" channels. Good job and nice truck!
I appreciate that, and THANK YOU for the compliment 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching 👍
Came for the truck review. Stayed for the boots. Leaving with the advice that you need a Diamondback HD cover on that rig.
Great video thank you! I’m ordering my 1500 this week. But now I have a problem! I want a 2500 now!!
Oh goodness!!!.... 😵💫 I know right! I really had to battle that too!
But I've also driven the 1500 both diesel and 6.2 and love them both, even love the SuperCruise.
VERY SMOOTH and daily usable and they look GREAT!!
1500? What model color etc?
Nice! How did the two engines compare? I’m trying to go with the ultimate with either the white frost or the dark metallic.
Super Cruise only on the 1500 and love it
The diesel is flawless quite and tons of power! I was VERY surprised how much I loved it....so much so I get a Denali Yukon with it in it.... and the 1500 had even more HP.
The 6.2 is tried and true and bullet proof, with a great V8 sound, but has the same torque #'s as the diesel
I think day in day out if you're not launching it off the line all the time.... the diesel is the winner ( personally)
I've also had the 6.2 in an Ultimate Yukon also amazing.... but that diesel is so easy to live with....and the mpg is awesome!
The color choice is tough! Those are both GREAT options! @@andreadimatteo7988
Great Review!! Couple things about mine:
1. Disappointed with the tailgate recall they’re acting like isn’t a big deal as there’s no fix yet, mine crashed down while I was towing causing damage, which they fixed, but the tailgate has two other times on its own.
2. Running boards came up on my son’s foot, didn’t crush his foot luckily.
3. I didn’t know about the max tow package so luckily didn’t get that because it drives like a Cadillac compared to my Raptor I had before.
Appreciate the compliment! 🙏🏼
Yeah, agree the tailgate story is interesting.... not thrilled about that.
Goodness thankful those running boards have that soft-close feature.
The Max tow package is slipped in there many time on the build sheet with the 5th wheel as a "resale" idea from the dealers many times.
I believe it does a perfect job as a 2500 without a 3500 ride feel.
Thanks for watching 👍
Wow, you're a damn natural at reviewing cars. Incredible presentation! I know your channel isn't just about cars, but I sub'd anyway. 👍
Means a lot... appreciate that!
I do cover different stuff for sure, hope it's all inspiring.
I will definitely be doing more vehicle videos, really enjoy it!
Thanks for the sub! 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial Best car reviewer I've seen (and I've seen a lot). When I looked down I was confused how you only had 2k subs. You're one of the only reviewers I've seen that hit all the "meta details" left out of a lot of car reviews (paraphrasing) "I feel like a guy is kind of limping along if he doesn't have a truck." You blend the objective with the meta/subjective with all the meta details like no one else, with incredible pacing.
I also think you hit a gap in the market place of "the normal professional truck guy."
Keep it up!
@@_giles Your reply got me thinking even more......THANK YOU for the kind words!
I agree there is a gap that I believe would be welcomed and very helpful!
2k subs LOL.... hey I'll get there, especially with help from my teenagers 😁🚀
~ Blessings!
Thank you getting the 3500 ultimate. You love your truck . Thank you again.😊
Love the 3500 too!! WELL DONE great choice!
That's a beautiful truck! I had only considered the 1500 series before. Now I'll take a closer look at the 2500's.
cummins owner here. best thing you can do for the health of that motor is a delete. that doesnt mean insane noise and power and smoke. you can do a simple tune very clean with no smoke and do a 4' with muffler and good to go. banks also makes some great products
GOTTA LOVE CUMMINS! 👊💥
It really is nuts how much they have suppressed and corked the engines up in general... 😵💫
I keep hearing everybody saying that it's hands-down the best thing to do for the engine.... and it can be done like you said with very minimal noise increase and almost no smoke differences.
I keep circling back around to Banks, the man has so much experience it's crazy!
Thanks for the comment and for watching! 👍
Wonderful video. You did an excellent job! Love the truck.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it, THANKS for watching 😁
I love how much you love your truck, great review!
Awesome GMC😊 thanks for this video
Thanks for watching! 😁 It's pretty incredible, thankful! 🙏🏼
Thanks SO MUCH for watching my video!
Wanted to say a HUGE congratulations on your UA-cam success.... super inspirational to see how well you're doing!
Blessing on your continued success!! 🚀 I know you'll be at a million soon! 🙏🏼🔥
What a machine! Thanks a lot for the review, thoroughly enjoyed it. Best wishes for you and your family 😊
It's AMAZING!! I hope you get the chance to drive one if you haven't yet...
Blessings and THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Love your review. I have the 1500 Denali and LOVE IT. My only complaint is the feel of the upper glove box. You press the button and it comes flying as it is spring loaded. It should have had a soft dampened opening as if with a shock absorber.
Totally agree it does fly up too quick. 😵💫
That could have easily been designed a bit better.
I plan on putting some very thin glovebox felt on the sliders so they open smoother and quieter. 🤓🧐
Thanks for watching 👍
Best review hands down. Thank you sir. I think this is the work truck to buy after seeing this.
Wow, thanks! Appreciate the comment... I just loaded a one-year video review on my channel as well if you want to check it out.
Thanks for watching 👍
I can't agree more with sir. I love my sierra with the new interior and new fascia! Its the best refresh ever!!
I'm not a glass roof person, I don't even use the sunroof on my suburban, so don't offer me a moonroof😂.
Oh and the additional air vents in the back seat are onder the driver and passenger seats.
❤
YEP!! 👊💥
Ahhhh yes, that makes sense...I'm going to look under the seats now! THANKS!
Thanks for the comment and for watching👍
I have had 2500 diesel’s in the past but currently in a Ram TRX. I enjoy the TRX but I hate there are no buttons and I am constantly messing with the touch screen. I also tow a trailer with motocross bikes and it’s not built to tow. The gas mileage is terrible as a daily driver. I just ordered a 2500 Denali Ultimate I hope I love it as much as you do!!
I have heard similar comments from TRX owners.
I really do believe you will enjoy it when you get it!
It's not the motocross suspension feel you get from a TRX or Raptor but it's so effortless and solid that I know you'll enjoy the Gentlemen's feeling it puts off!
Excited to hear how you like it!
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for this video 👍🏿 I just got my ‘24 Denali 3500 ultimate and I love it. I was going to delete it but it doesn’t seem worth it it to me. I pull my Escalade to shows and stuff with mine and it don’t even flinch 👍🏿💯. Well worth the price if I do say so myself.
COME ON! 🔥 🚀 AWESOME! Excited for you and your new truck!.... It's so strong as it is... I know we're not exactly suffering LOL!!
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
CONGRATS!
Love your review. You gave some really great insight on the truck.

Gabriel rocks out reviews! He doesn't miss a thing and gives it to you straight - no BS! Can we get him to explain in plain language how Congress works? LOL!
Thanks so much!

Thanks for watching!
