    Overall, the truck looks nice. That being said, there are a few things I would expect at this trim level. A bed outlet, bed lighting, power rear sliding window, push button start, and a sunroof. Not deal breakers, but things you expect these days on luxury trims.

    Can’t believe that this truck is nearly $50k and it doesn’t have push button start, a base model Nissan Versa has it and it’s like 1/3 of the price. Crazy

      Push button start is actually annoying. Plus if someone is using a relay your truck can easily get stolen.

I'm 6 ft tall and it's got tons of space for me to cruze with. These midsized trucks are getting solid and spacious. Including this one. I'm quite excited.

    To be a Denali trim, partial manual seats is not cool. The back window being manual also a deal breaker, I use that window so much for ventilation. Stuff like that is watering down the Denali name that has always stood for luxury.

      Pretty much everything is literally just a slightly fancier Chevy with the new Yukon being the only exception.
      I wouldn't even compare the Sierra Denali to a Ram 1500 Larmie.
      Hell even the new Nissan Titan looks more luxurious on the top trims.

    The is the easiest question ever. The answer is a definitive NO. A truck with NO rear air vents for passengers and still has a key is NOT Luxury. I am sure many other amenities are missing! Come on GM! I would not be this hard on them if the DENALI badge was not on the truck. Also the real Denali trucks (1500+) come with bigger engines and nicer upgrades. This is just a regular Canyon with a badge that says "Denali".

    I looked at the 2021 GMC Canyon Denali and i was not impressed, the exterior its a beautiful truck; however, the interior looks dated and in desperate need of a refresh and why all the plastic? and whats with still using a key? I moved up to the GMC Sierra Denali and same feeling, outdated, bland and very plastic feeling. Ended up choosing another brand.
    If you needs hints on a video of what you dont like, let me help with what i didn't like:
    1) Still requires a key
    2) Dated interior
    3) Lags in technology behind Ford & RAM
    4) Very Plastic in the cabin
    5) Found the ride to be stiff

I have all ready replaced the Ac. 1633.00$ then came the transmission. 5900.00$ then the rear main seal 2 times 650.00$ each time for a total of 1300.00$. The battery 2 times for 500.00$ each time for another 1000.00 $ what a piece of shit. Chevy scores a 12 out of a 100 on the ranking system. So basically chevy is selling piece of crap trucks to everyone. I was a loyal chevy guy. This was my 5th Silverado. The one before this one the engine blew at 56000 miles 13000 to replace it. Chevy just sucks.
