Just purchased my first Denali Ultimate (2024), and your videos are really helping me figure things out. THANK YOU, for sharing the attention to details…REALLY helpful! Blessings!
I disabled the tilt mirror in reverse option. Not helpful when backing up long trailers. The bottom convex mirrors work just fine to see where your tires are .
Awesome video, thanks! Just bought a 2025 2500 AT4 ... what a truck! Clearly these engineers actually use their trucks. So many well thought out features.
I watched Your first presentation after 10,000 miles and really enjoyed it but you've went the extra mile here and it's really appreciated . You seem to really care about people and sharing knowledge so honestly I hope Your a GODLY Man and are the same way you are in your presentation because JESUS would want You to help other's even about a truck they really like better because of You ; You would or do make a real Fisherman of men Sir . Have a Blessed Day Sir and thank You for all the help !!!!
To lock out the tailgate, you just need to hold the top button. Thanks for the infotainment review, learned something there. Just got my '25 last week, pretty sweet truck.
Test drove an identical one today, was shocked to find the blind spot mirrors are not powered and the pedals are not adjustable, both options are offered on the ram 🤷♂️
Can you please advise on the below 1. Does the cameras turn on automatically when we are in low speeds like 10mph ? This feature is in tundras. I'm not sure if we have it in denali. 2. The rear view cameras are like HD vision, front and back, and top. BUT the sides cameras near tyres and blind spots are like VGA cameras. Very bad quality. 3. When a vehicle is on blind spot, it blinks in mirrors. Do we have an option for a sound alert when turning?
They are on the firmer side, yet still very comfortable. They are the best ones yet, and I had the 2017 Denali HD, the 2020 AT4 HD, and now this one.. definitely the best one. Super comfort, I wouldn't say that, I think the Ford Limited, and especially the new 2025 Ram coming will be the most comfortable. They say it's Mercedes-level. That will force everyone to follow soon after. I have driven this all over and taken long trips and never had a fatigue problem and remarked how good the seats felt even then on road trips. Hope this helps? Thanks for watching 👍
They are on the firmer side. My 15’ Platinum Ford SD was more conformable. But if you play with the many settings to your liking, they are not bad. The firmer seat will hold up with time and miles tho IMO
The seats are very comfortable, especially if you use the massage feature! Be sure to adjust the lumbar etc. to your liking first. And save your seat settings to your key fob/driver number. The ventilated feature is also amazing and feels refreshing (especially good since they don't have air vents in the ceiling as in my SUV I had one of the rear ceiling vents aimed at my neck while driving). Heated seats are okay, I just get too hot with them after a few minutes, especially on the bottom, and I hate the heated steering wheels for all time. But, the seats are great for short drives, long drives, and road trips.
@@ruddogbp me too my passenger is stuck half way and wont work at all. Made all kinds of noise trying to go back up but just stopped. Did you fix it or was it a trip to dealer?
My tailgate was set already locked by the dealership. Until this video, I was wondering how the heck you guys were fully opening up the multi tailgate with one click. 😢 Now I know.
Thanks for the info! Sounds like it doesn't work like I thought it would. I was thinking you could set it to where the lights would just come on when you reverse. That would be a nice feature to have.
@@ryan_torres well you can do what I did on my previous sierra 1500. I installed aftermarket tow mirrors , ran the harness to the fuse box and wired those to the reverse fuse, that way they will be on every time you back up or the perimeter lights are on, either you unlock with the key fob or cut the vehicle off at night. They're great spot lights to get to your truck in dark places.
There is one item that may not have been mentioned, its been hidden so well by GM on the refresh model that no one had ever been able to find it .... and that is the 12 volt socket plug for the myriad of devices that people own or can buy to this day that require that socket to be powered period or charged, examples of a small tire inflator, mattress pump, stand alone GPS unit, older phones ( yes they exist ) radar devices and on and on and on.
@@justincausey5196 You have the refreshed dash ?, I've never heard anyone mention they had a 12 volt plug in the refreshed truck period so something is oddball there. I know that the work truck and custom trim for 2024 was still the prior dash style so it definitely had the 12v socket setup in them. Do you have the console with bucket seats or the bench seat ?
I have the surround vision does yours have front Parkin sensors? I know the my rear does but not the front. I’m assuming the front camera HD vision replaces the front sensors.
Does your tailgate power up as well. i can let mine down and raise from inside the truck also i can lift the tailgate partially and it will raise itself.
Thanks.. Helped me out with a few things.. like the changing of short cut buttons on the main display. I too wanted too wanted a camera button right on top! Now if I can just find a fog light upgrade... The ones we have suck!
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼 Fog lights... I want to upgrade mine as well. Morimoto and Baja Designs make great ones... but not sure they make them for the GMC, somebody does..... now you got me on the hunt too! 👊💥
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial I contacted Headlight Revolution where I got my light upgrades for my 2018. They say nothing out yet, but soon and reach back to them in a month.
I really enjoy the enthusiasm you show for your truck. Do you know if the majority of those 18 features are available on the lower trims such as the base Denali, XLT, and XSE? Are any specific only to the Denali Ultimate?
Did @anyone mention the spot lights can be turned off one at a time with the same button? It allows you to cycle each side or have both on at the same time
Another setting for when you leave your keys in the truck. When you close the door you can make the horn honk twice really quick. This tells you there inside.
Great video! I did not know about the auto window down feature! 2 things Ill say after 13k miles on my 24 HD AT4; - The reverse tilt mirrors had me excited at first, but I found when you go back in park or drive, they dont reset to exactly where I had them programmed to. So I have to readjust them each time. I ended up just turning the feature off because it was so annoying. - The mirror "spotlights" are not nearly bright enough to help much with visibility if you're working around the truck at night. I plan on replacing them with brighter aftermarkets that will also work when the truck is in drive with the brights on. One tip I'll mention to other HD owners that piggybacks off of your highlighting that the cameras still work while in drive; The front camera is incredibly useful in heavy rains as it seems to almost completely cut through the "whiteout" affect tou can sometimes experience when driving in heavy rains. But, definitely, DO NOT use the intelligent cruse in those rains! Thanks for the great video!
That is AWESOME to know for us old folks. I just came over the pass a few weeks ago. I slowed down to 39 MPH three times. And one more time ALL traffic stopped. Not a fun trip home. To me, that is easily worth the price for these. Call me crazy. But I kinda like being alive seeing those grandchildren grow up!
Very good video. I have a Denali and enjoy this feature. When you have a trailer attached and actiivate a right or left turn signal, the rear facing right or left camera comes on until you finish your turn or lane change. Again good video.
Great video. Does your 2500 beep a horn when you reach suggested psi as you air tires up? My 1500 Denali does that. It's a brilliant feature, I use it a lot after driving on a beach. ... Are the Ultimate seats any softer than regular Denali?
I totally need to check that out! I purposely lower my tire pressure by around 7 to 8 pounds per tire because I don't like the 70 in the rear and the 60 up front it makes a huge difference in the driveability and the comfort. As far as softer than the Denali, I'd have to sit at them side-by-side the seats are definitely on the firmer side that seems to be the consensus across the board when comparing them to a RAM or a Ford. I'm sure GMC will address that soon because the new tungsten ram and the Ford Limited are quite luxurious the GMC seems to have designed it around function and durability, but I do like softer seats. I've had so many luxury vehicles that it kind of spoils you but everything else is so great on the truck it did not steer us away from getting it. They are definitely softer than my 2017, 2020, or 2023 GMCs but still a bit on the firm side. I hope that helps thanks so much for the comment 👍
Appreciate that! I KNOW you will love it, it just seems to get better and better the more you use it...Yes, they did an amazing job for sure! Super happy for you! 🙏🏼🎉 Thanks for watching 👍
I just found this answer: Crazy I know 😵💫 In the United States, any vehicle that measures in at over 80 inches wide will fall under commercial vehicle guidelines. These vehicles must come equipped with “three amber front and three red rear identification lamps spaced between 6 and 12 inches apart at the center of the front and rear of the vehicle, as high as practicable,” as per the federal government, but this does not apply to the single-rear-wheel versions of the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD in California. So, what’s the reasoning behind this? It turns out that California has a law that overrides this federal regulation and the reason why is a bit ridiculous, in our opinion. According to California Vehicle Code 27606, “no person shall own or operate a motor vehicle which is equipped with a light bar, or facsimile thereof, to resemble a motor vehicle used by a peace officer or traffic officer while on duty within that jurisdiction.” The law goes on to explain that a “light bar” can refer to “any light or device affixed to or mounted upon the roof of a vehicle and extending the width of the roof, or a substantial portion thereof, which emits amber, red, or blue, or any combination of those lights.” Simply put, California law mandates that a vehicle cannot have an amber, red, or blue light bar mounted to it that spans the width of the roof, as other motorists may confuse the vehicle for law enforcement. 😵💫😳 Thanks for watching, hope this helps/ 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial OMFG! One more thing to make me hate California. How ridiculous! Like someone is really going to mistake this for a law enforcement vehicle 🤦🏼♂️. Thank you so much for the time you took to research that for me. I really appreciate it! Love the videos!
hmmmm step lights? Are they not working? I have read in a few forums that some have had problems with them turning on. I know you commented 13 days ago, sorry for the delayed response, did you ever get it worked out? One guy said after the update everything worked fine.
The HDs don't have it due to how the steering is designed. I'm sure enough people will want it, and they will do something about it. 🙏🏼 Thanks for watching 👍
Hi, anyone offer advice? I picked up my 2024 Sierra Pro today and can’t seem to get my adaptive cruise to work? I set the cruise control, press the adaptive cruise button, select the GAP/Distance setting and on,y cruise control works and not the adaptive cruise setting? Thanks
I took one on a test drive and had to stop and search youtube for instructions on this.........yeh, i felt a little dumb afterwards. Didn't buy the truck and can't remember
Hey Gabriel, how do the accessory plugs work, are they switched w/key or always live and the 120v both inside and in the bed are they also switched. Also is there a run down setting on them so you don't run the batteries all the way down. I can't find any info on them and mine is on order waiting to get built. Thank you for all the information.
The accessories are key on power only from what Ive experimented with on mine. Typical of Auto manufacture’s. Im sure there are some software programs that can change this u just have to find them.
All of the accessories come live as you open the door and stay on as long as the radio is On, or obviously press the Start/Stop button without starting the engine. SAME for the Hotspot. But for the 120V plugs, the engine has to be running to work, no switch, always ready to use as long as the engine is on. But, if you leave your engine idle, auto shut off will cut it off in about 15 minutes. Need to go in and step on the brake or interact with the truck somehow so the engine runs for additional 15 min.
You can enable the 120 volt outlets without starting the engine by holding the start/stop button without pressing the break peddle for 3-5 seconds. This also turns on accessory mode for radio, hot spot etc.
Also to mention for those who don't know they have the HUD is there are multiple screen options you can choose from by hitting the "HUD" button to rotate through them. I love having the navigation info. on it along with other info. Just wish it would get brighter for using with dark polarized sunglasses in bright daylight, but the dimming feature for night is great. I didn't think the HUD would be something I'd like, but I do love it.
I didn’t realize how much I love heads up display now it’s one of the things I have to have on a vehicle. I’d rather just look at the edge of the hood and see what I need to see and not look at the gauges and thanks for that info about the HUD adjustments. That is super important. I know a lot of people are reading the comments. Thank you so much!
@@TroyGouldYYC Good tip. I didn't know that was attached to the memory feature, which I use because they usually mess up your seat position when you get the car serviced. I'm the only driver otherwise, so the two key thing doesn't really apply to me, but if it ever does, that's good to know that the HUD position stays with it. Sometimes, my side mirrors don't come back up to the right position after backing up no matter how many times I save my settings, but hopefully the software update the dealership did has fixed the problem. I suppose if it isn't fixed, I could just turn the curb setting off because I honestly just use the cameras 99% of the time backing up.
Man, that white frost is AMAZING in the Sun!.... Almost went for that color. Whenever I see one, it makes me do a double-take! CONGRATS! and thanks for watching 👍
B&W makes a hitch for the multi-step tailgate that has a 45 degree on the top side so you can use your tailgate multi-step function step options while you're hooked up to a trailer without it hitting the tailgate as mentioned.
I have never used the brake hold. I know it's a great feature. I'm not even sure I would know how to activate it and now that I'm typing this I'm not even sure that it has it. I need to double-check. Thanks for the comment..... got me thinking🤔
Great video, thanks for the information. On my previous Denali I dented the multipro tailgate in the first week when I lowered it down with a hitch in place. So this is a great feature so I don't do it again on my new truck!
Glad it was helpful.... so sorry about the dent! 😵💫 I almost did it myself, and someone commented to me on how to lock it 🙏🏼 Very grateful! Thanks for watching 👍
The best camera feature IMO if the add-on trailer camera. It enables transparent trailer mode which uses the truck cameras and a camera mounted on the rear of your trailer that plugs right into a port next to the 7pin trailer port. It works amazingly well and basically looks like you can see clear through your trailer to see what is around the entire thing while driving or reverse. It also enables trailer assist backing which adds guide lines and a diagram of the truck and trailer orientation as you back up to help you back the trailer up right where you want it. It’s way better than any trailer camera system I’ve seen before. And it integrates right into that big beautiful display with all the other cameras. If you have the 360 camera system you have those trailering camera ports. The other port you can mount a camera inside your trailer with or you can put a camera pretty much anywhere you want.
I can't wait to try that out!! I've never added a big trailer that would block the view yet. Now just from your comment, it makes me want to pull one 😎 Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
Thanks for the video, I learned a few features I did not know I had. Unfortunately, the build quality of these trucks just isn't what it used to be. Multiple DEF , ECU, yolk, transmission issues. I've had my Denali brick itself 5 times on the main road. To top it all off the seats are horrendous for a truck at this price point. If you spend a large portion of your day in it you will be disappointed.
Thanks so much I’m glad it was helpful. I do agree. Vehicles are getting way too complicated and it does have the tendency to add to repair visits. The seats are the best they’ve had yet I had a 2017 Denali HD, I had a 2020 AT4 HD and the seats got better with each upgrade, but this one is by far better than the other two it’s still is not the level of the Ford limited… or have you seen what Ram is about to bring out with their new 2025 tungsten addition the interior is more on a Mercedes level I think it’s going to force the whole truck world up there game substantially. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
How do I turn on my inside lights so that they come on when the doors are opened?? No information in the booklet or online that I can find. I know you do something below the sunroof but can’t figure it out. It was working but now it’s not.
Sorry for the delay in my response... just read it, did you ever figure it out? There are 2 buttons under the sunroof controls. The one on the left when the orange light is on the door lights work, but with it off they do. The right button is simply an override ON-OFF switch, make sure that it's off so the lights don't stay on after you lock the truck and walk away so your battery doesn't die... Hope that helps? Thanks for watching 👍
Those mirrors are freakin huge. That’s the only thing I still haven’t gotten used to 4 yrs later with my 2020.. I like um when I need um but I wish they were smaller
Watching this video at midnight and I wanna go drive mine rn. Haha, I think it’s his excitement for our trucks. They’re awesome and this was a fantastic reminder.
😂 I know right…. Sometimes I’ll watch videos of basically the same stuff I have and I go why is that look so much better than mine 😳Appreciate you watching! 👍🏼
On the high end, I've hit 22 before, more like 19/20 on a good road trip, and that's with 5 of us riding and about 400 lbs in the back. Thanks for watching 👍
Not all do. I always do a side-by-side model comparison you can do that on the GMC site. The Denali Ultimate just has everything you can imagine on one truck. It’s the highest trim level. All the models come equipped very well, but beefed up luxury options are added to the ultimate. Thanks so much for watching !
These features were already on the 2020+ models. This isn't new to 24. Just saying. Also you stated on "this Denali Ultimate". It is available as an option on an SLT, Denali and Denali Ultimate.
The one I had before this one was a 2020 AT4 2500. Appreciate you pointing that out! Agree some features might be available across trims. 👍 Appreciate the comment 🙏🏼
Do not do that on the steps, where he shuts the door and puts his foot on it. Mine didn’t go back up. I’ll be taking my truck into the dealership to get fixed. 😂🤦🏻♂️ Once in drive, it kept going up and down but never went completely in anymore. Instead use the settings button and deploy or stow it away from there.
Thanks so much for, yes getting the right trailer hitch is Critical. I think there’s a company called B & M bumper, and hitch that has an adjustable trailer ball that one of the viewers mentioned works great 🙏🏼
If most people read their manual, you will know about all of these features. Also, you can stow or open your floorboards in the settings so you're not having to hold your foot on them if you drive through a car wash which you wont be able to do as they will stow once you jump in.
With all due respect, I’m seeing a lot of of these videos about “hidden features“. All of this is in the owners manual. I guess people just don’t read the instructions when they buy something that’s between $70,000-$80,000.
Only if you are hard of hearing. Only reason I can think. Some of my family that have been around heavy equipment their entire lives, will have that chime cranked so they can hear it…
Great trucks mine is 21 yo. Puts smile on my face every time.
That explains it perfectly!.... smile on my face is right 😁

I disabled the tilt mirror in reverse option. Not helpful when backing up long trailers. The bottom convex mirrors work just fine to see where your tires are .
I did the same. Nice option for no trailer, but pulling my 41’ TH 5er that not helpful
Yeah, when you have split mirrors like that and you set the lower mirror in the right spot, you never have to move them.
Came to say this.

There isn’t one. Unfortunately
They work with the cargo lamps, as you shift to Drive they go off, when shift to reverse or park they come back on.

- The mirror "spotlights" are not nearly bright enough to help much with visibility if you're working around the truck at night. I plan on replacing them with brighter aftermarkets that will also work when the truck is in drive with the brights on.
One tip I'll mention to other HD owners that piggybacks off of your highlighting that the cameras still work while in drive; The front camera is incredibly useful in heavy rains as it seems to almost completely cut through the "whiteout" affect tou can sometimes experience when driving in heavy rains. But, definitely, DO NOT use the intelligent cruse in those rains!
Thanks for the great video!
That is AWESOME to know for us old folks. I just came over the pass a few weeks ago. I slowed down to 39 MPH three times. And one more time ALL traffic stopped. Not a fun trip home. To me, that is easily worth the price for these. Call me crazy. But I kinda like being alive seeing those grandchildren grow up!
Very good video. I have a Denali and enjoy this feature. When you have a trailer attached and actiivate a right or left turn signal, the rear facing right or left camera comes on until you finish your turn or lane change. Again good video.
Thanks for the info! I love turning cameras... need to try that feature 😎
Great video. Does your 2500 beep a horn when you reach suggested psi as you air tires up? My 1500 Denali does that. It's a brilliant feature, I use it a lot after driving on a beach. ... Are the Ultimate seats any softer than regular Denali?
I totally need to check that out!
I purposely lower my tire pressure by around 7 to 8 pounds per tire because I don't like the 70 in the rear and the 60 up front it makes a huge difference in the driveability and the comfort.
As far as softer than the Denali, I'd have to sit at them side-by-side the seats are definitely on the firmer side that seems to be the consensus across the board when comparing them to a RAM or a Ford.
I'm sure GMC will address that soon because the new tungsten ram and the Ford Limited are quite luxurious the GMC seems to have designed it around function and durability, but I do like softer seats.
I've had so many luxury vehicles that it kind of spoils you but everything else is so great on the truck it did not steer us away from getting it.
They are definitely softer than my 2017, 2020, or 2023 GMCs but still a bit on the firm side.
I hope that helps thanks so much for the comment 👍
Love this video, just bought this too. Best truck ever made
Appreciate that!
I KNOW you will love it, it just seems to get better and better the more you use it...Yes, they did an amazing job for sure!
Super happy for you! 🙏🏼🎉
Thanks for watching 👍
Not a chance is this the best truck ever made
Is it normal to have that small ticking sound? Heard ir as you were backing up.
Good observation... yes they all do it, the new engine is so quiet it's just more noticeable... some call it a typewriter tick on the Duramax.
If you have the step lights in the tailgate they come on with the same switch for the cargo lights
Crazy how it takes time to notice all the features that you don't notice until you notice it... I'm still finding stuff.
Thanks for that 👍
Do you know why California doesn’t get the marker lights on the roof of the truck? Do you know if that’s an option to add?
I just found this answer: Crazy I know 😵💫
In the United States, any vehicle that measures in at over 80 inches wide will fall under commercial vehicle guidelines. These vehicles must come equipped with “three amber front and three red rear identification lamps spaced between 6 and 12 inches apart at the center of the front and rear of the vehicle, as high as practicable,” as per the federal government, but this does not apply to the single-rear-wheel versions of the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD in California.
So, what’s the reasoning behind this? It turns out that California has a law that overrides this federal regulation and the reason why is a bit ridiculous, in our opinion. According to California Vehicle Code 27606, “no person shall own or operate a motor vehicle which is equipped with a light bar, or facsimile thereof, to resemble a motor vehicle used by a peace officer or traffic officer while on duty within that jurisdiction.” The law goes on to explain that a “light bar” can refer to “any light or device affixed to or mounted upon the roof of a vehicle and extending the width of the roof, or a substantial portion thereof, which emits amber, red, or blue, or any combination of those lights.”
Simply put, California law mandates that a vehicle cannot have an amber, red, or blue light bar mounted to it that spans the width of the roof, as other motorists may confuse the vehicle for law enforcement. 😵💫😳
Thanks for watching, hope this helps/ 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial OMFG! One more thing to make me hate California. How ridiculous! Like someone is really going to mistake this for a law enforcement vehicle 🤦🏼♂️. Thank you so much for the time you took to research that for me. I really appreciate it! Love the videos!
Great content
I just got a at4 HD 2024 and I have a question how I can turn on the step lights ?
hmmmm step lights? Are they not working? I have read in a few forums that some have had problems with them turning on. I know you commented 13 days ago, sorry for the delayed response, did you ever get it worked out? One guy said after the update everything worked fine.
The led lights on the steps are the coolest feature of the lights and you left it out of the video lol. Still good stuff.
No super cruise? Is it a chip thing or do I have to get the 1500?
The HDs don't have it due to how the steering is designed. I'm sure enough people will want it, and they will do something about it. 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching 👍
Hi, anyone offer advice? I picked up my 2024 Sierra Pro today and can’t seem to get my adaptive cruise to work? I set the cruise control, press the adaptive cruise button, select the GAP/Distance setting and on,y cruise control works and not the adaptive cruise setting? Thanks
I took one on a test drive and had to stop and search youtube for instructions on this.........yeh, i felt a little dumb afterwards. Didn't buy the truck and can't remember
Great Video. Is there a Dash Cam you recommend for 2024 Denali Ultimate?
That is a great question.... I want one and need to look into it. If you come up with one let me know.
Great reminder! 🙏🏼
😎👍
Hey Gabriel, how do the accessory plugs work, are they switched w/key or always live and the 120v both inside and in the bed are they also switched. Also is there a run down setting on them so you don't run the batteries all the way down. I can't find any info on them and mine is on order waiting to get built. Thank you for all the information.
The accessories are key on power only from what Ive experimented with on mine. Typical of Auto manufacture’s. Im sure there are some software programs that can change this u just have to find them.
All of the accessories come live as you open the door and stay on as long as the radio is On, or obviously press the Start/Stop button without starting the engine. SAME for the Hotspot.
But for the 120V plugs, the engine has to be running to work, no switch, always ready to use as long as the engine is on.
But, if you leave your engine idle, auto shut off will cut it off in about 15 minutes. Need to go in and step on the brake or interact with the truck somehow so the engine runs for additional 15 min.
Thank you very much for the info. @@toniogonzalez0506
You can enable the 120 volt outlets without starting the engine by holding the start/stop button without pressing the break peddle for 3-5 seconds. This also turns on accessory mode for radio, hot spot etc.
@@gowen1401 the Auto Shut Off still gonna cut everything off in 15 min.
Also to mention for those who don't know they have the HUD is there are multiple screen options you can choose from by hitting the "HUD" button to rotate through them. I love having the navigation info. on it along with other info. Just wish it would get brighter for using with dark polarized sunglasses in bright daylight, but the dimming feature for night is great. I didn't think the HUD would be something I'd like, but I do love it.
I didn’t realize how much I love heads up display now it’s one of the things I have to have on a vehicle. I’d rather just look at the edge of the hood and see what I need to see and not look at the gauges and thanks for that info about the HUD adjustments. That is super important. I know a lot of people are reading the comments. Thank you so much!
Also after adjusting the HUD, use the memory set feature for your seats so that the HUD adjustment is matched to your key fob.
@@TroyGouldYYC Good tip. I didn't know that was attached to the memory feature, which I use because they usually mess up your seat position when you get the car serviced. I'm the only driver otherwise, so the two key thing doesn't really apply to me, but if it ever does, that's good to know that the HUD position stays with it. Sometimes, my side mirrors don't come back up to the right position after backing up no matter how many times I save my settings, but hopefully the software update the dealership did has fixed the problem. I suppose if it isn't fixed, I could just turn the curb setting off because I honestly just use the cameras 99% of the time backing up.
My window down in my 2010 Dodge 1500 does the same with the remote. But it’s not in the manual.
LOVE MY 2ND NEW 2024 THIS ONE IS WHITE FROST TRICOAT ❤❤❤ ALL THESE FEATURES 3500 BEAUTY
Man, that white frost is AMAZING in the Sun!.... Almost went for that color.
Whenever I see one, it makes me do a double-take!
CONGRATS! and thanks for watching 👍
QQ does anyone know the step up height on the Sierra 2500?
B&W makes a hitch for the multi-step tailgate that has a 45 degree on the top side so you can use your tailgate multi-step function step options while you're hooked up to a trailer without it hitting the tailgate as mentioned.
I am going RIGHT NOW to look that up!
Thanks for that! 🙏🏼😎
Anyone know how to use the brake hold so when in traffic or at light you can take your foot off the brake and he truck stays in place?
Simply use the adaptive cruise, albeit that only works if another car is in front of you.
I have never used the brake hold. I know it's a great feature. I'm not even sure I would know how to activate it and now that I'm typing this I'm not even sure that it has it. I need to double-check.
Thanks for the comment..... got me thinking🤔
Great video, thanks for the information. On my previous Denali I dented the multipro tailgate in the first week when I lowered it down with a hitch in place. So this is a great feature so I don't do it again on my new truck!
Glad it was helpful.... so sorry about the dent! 😵💫 I almost did it myself, and someone commented to me on how to lock it 🙏🏼 Very grateful!
Thanks for watching 👍
Best review along with your full review thank you very much. My ultimate comes in next week can't wait 🙌
SUPER EXCITED for you!! 🔥🚀
Thanks for the compliment!
WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD THEY PLACE THE DEF TANK RITE NEXT TO THE FUEL TANK, IS BEYOND ME! 😂😂😂
The best camera feature IMO if the add-on trailer camera. It enables transparent trailer mode which uses the truck cameras and a camera mounted on the rear of your trailer that plugs right into a port next to the 7pin trailer port. It works amazingly well and basically looks like you can see clear through your trailer to see what is around the entire thing while driving or reverse. It also enables trailer assist backing which adds guide lines and a diagram of the truck and trailer orientation as you back up to help you back the trailer up right where you want it. It’s way better than any trailer camera system I’ve seen before. And it integrates right into that big beautiful display with all the other cameras. If you have the 360 camera system you have those trailering camera ports. The other port you can mount a camera inside your trailer with or you can put a camera pretty much anywhere you want.
I can't wait to try that out!!
I've never added a big trailer that would block the view yet.
Now just from your comment, it makes me want to pull one 😎
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
CAN those cameras record videos?
No, sadly.... but that would be a great addition🙏
Great video! Thank you
Glad you liked it! Appreciate the comment!
Thanks for watching 👍
Speed limit sign icon gives me “plan needed” to turn on. Plan? How to get it?
You have to use the built in google maps and pay once the free trail runs out.
Thanks for the video, I learned a few features I did not know I had. Unfortunately, the build quality of these trucks just isn't what it used to be. Multiple DEF , ECU, yolk, transmission issues. I've had my Denali brick itself 5 times on the main road. To top it all off the seats are horrendous for a truck at this price point. If you spend a large portion of your day in it you will be disappointed.
Thanks so much I’m glad it was helpful. I do agree. Vehicles are getting way too complicated and it does have the tendency to add to repair visits. The seats are the best they’ve had yet I had a 2017 Denali HD, I had a 2020 AT4 HD and the seats got better with each upgrade, but this one is by far better than the other two it’s still is not the level of the Ford limited… or have you seen what Ram is about to bring out with their new 2025 tungsten addition the interior is more on a Mercedes level I think it’s going to force the whole truck world up there game substantially.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
By far the best truck I have ever owned
TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Thanks for watching 👍😎
Thank you, a very informative review on some imprtant features
Thanks so much!
Doesnt it honk as a signal for left keys in car ?
Yes it does and you can turn that feature off too if you want in settings
Thanks for watching 👍
Did you realize that your cargo lights by the 3rd break light comes on when you put it in reverse as well?
Thank you, had to take a look again, appreciate that 🙏🏼
@GabrielSedlakOfficial your welcome I thought that was really cool when I saw that
Good info. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching 👍
How do I turn on my inside lights so that they come on when the doors are opened?? No information in the booklet or online that I can find. I know you do something below the sunroof but can’t figure it out. It was working but now it’s not.
Sorry for the delay in my response... just read it, did you ever figure it out?
There are 2 buttons under the sunroof controls. The one on the left when the orange light is on the door lights work, but with it off they do. The right button is simply an override ON-OFF switch, make sure that it's off so the lights don't stay on after you lock the truck and walk away so your battery doesn't die...
Hope that helps?
Thanks for watching 👍
Can I disable the tilting mirror tilt to watch the trailer
All the mirror adjustments are in the settings, and can be turned on and off easily 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great and informative. This helps big time!
Thanks so much! Glad it helped and thanks for watching 👍🏼
Those mirrors are freakin huge. That’s the only thing I still haven’t gotten used to 4 yrs later with my 2020.. I like um when I need um but I wish they were smaller
Yes, they are quite big... thank goodness the dual mirrors work and aren't just big for big sake.... 😵💫
Thanks for watching 👍
excellent video!
Inconceivable!
Idk Y I feel so jealous of your sierra when i own my own with almost the same features 😂
Watching this video at midnight and I wanna go drive mine rn. Haha, I think it’s his excitement for our trucks. They’re awesome and this was a fantastic reminder.
😂 I know right….
Sometimes I’ll watch videos of basically the same stuff I have and I go why is that look so much better than mine 😳Appreciate you watching! 👍🏼
Does GMC ultimate has lane centering?
yes, it does 👍
@@GabrielSedlakOfficial and ...what it does not have is CP4 pump👍
Thanks for the thorough response!
You bet! 🎉
Great video, just purchased mine. Thanks
AWESOME!! I know you'll love it! What color did you choose?
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice work
Thanks so much!
Appreciate you watching 👍🏼
What kind of fuel mileage are you getting on the highway?
On the high end, I've hit 22 before, more like 19/20 on a good road trip, and that's with 5 of us riding and about 400 lbs in the back.
Thanks for watching 👍
That’s exactly what I get, my “best” says 22MPG but really its 11 city/19 highway
Are these features on all HD sierra trims ?
Not all do.
I always do a side-by-side model comparison you can do that on the GMC site. The Denali Ultimate just has everything you can imagine on one truck. It’s the highest trim level.
All the models come equipped very well, but beefed up luxury options are added to the ultimate.
Thanks so much for watching !
What’s the bed length?
I chose the 6' 9" standard bed.
There is a longer one that is 8' as well.
Thanks for watching 👍
I’m pretty sure this man knows his truck way better than Gm. I bet they are also watching this thinking what? It does that! 😂
It's not easy to always find all the feature for sure and the dealers miss a ton as well....
Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍
You can set the feature on so that the horn chimes three times if you leave the keys in the vehicle
That one I had to figure out too.... drove me crazy at first, but appreciate the feature for sure. 😁
Set to wumbo
Check the following distance at length
I think for the price it should have a sensor that knows their is a trailer or hitch and do that tailgate lock for you automatically.
Great Idea! I know GMC has been getting TONS of feedback on how to improve it....I hope they add those benefits soon.
Thanks for watching 👍
Love how GM has features that Volkswagen did 15 years ago lmfao get with the times 😂
These features were already on the 2020+ models. This isn't new to 24. Just saying. Also you stated on "this Denali Ultimate". It is available as an option on an SLT, Denali and Denali Ultimate.
The one I had before this one was a 2020 AT4 2500. Appreciate you pointing that out! Agree some features might be available across trims. 👍 Appreciate the comment 🙏🏼
a lot of these features my 2015 ram has...
A wife and two young drivers., no wonder what you are low on fuel.. I thought I was all alone in this world.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL! I know right.... always filling up with the crew for sure! 😵💫😆
As the saying goes and I tell my wife, I dont always drive my Wife’s car, but when I do the gas gauge is on E 😂
Same my Denali 2024 is on E rn💀
🔥🔥
Do not do that on the steps, where he shuts the door and puts his foot on it. Mine didn’t go back up. I’ll be taking my truck into the dealership to get fixed. 😂🤦🏻♂️ Once in drive, it kept going up and down but never went completely in anymore. Instead use the settings button and deploy or stow it away from there.
Thanks for the heads up! Goodness... 😳🙏🏼
I wish they'd allow you to drive with whatever lights you wanted still on.
great
Thanks for watching! 👍
Which the dealer told me about the tailgate and tow ball drop will kiss each other and make a nice dimple in my tailgate. Thanks for the video
Thanks so much for, yes getting the right trailer hitch is Critical. I think there’s a company called B & M bumper, and hitch that has an adjustable trailer ball that one of the viewers mentioned works great 🙏🏼
Correction it’s actually
BWtrailerhitches.com 😎
I pick mine up in a week and a half
COME ON!! That's AWESOME! You will Love it!
What color/specs did you get?
Read the owners manual…it’s all in there, it’s not hidden 3:22
If most people read their manual, you will know about all of these features. Also, you can stow or open your floorboards in the settings so you're not having to hold your foot on them if you drive through a car wash which you wont be able to do as they will stow once you jump in.
Highly suggest NOT driving through a car wash!
Agree reading that helps.. 🤪 The stow feature is GREAT!
Appreciate the comment 👍
WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD THEY PLACE THE DEF TANK RITE NEXT TO THE FUEL TANK, IS BEYOND ME! 😂😂😂
It is way better than under the hood like it used to be.
Quite obvious why they put it next to the fuel tank for more convenience
one feature that is not hidden is the 100k + sticker 😂
😅 It's not that much when you trade in last year's.
@@skipads8784
lol
B&W makes a drop hitch for that tailgate. Won’t hit
Yes they do! Im getting one soon
Hey, appreciate that I’ve got a check it out. Thanks so much for watching and for the heads up!
B and W is top shelf stuff…. Nice!
I love that B&W hitch, BUT, when you have the tow ball sticking out that feature does help
I just brought a 2024 2500 AT4 and was wondering about that
Have you backed into a bush yet? Even a bush will set off the fender bender indicator.
I also have that truck
SO AWESOME! Excited to see the truck market get better and better!
Thanks for watching 👍
With all due respect, I’m seeing a lot of of these videos about “hidden features“. All of this is in the owners manual. I guess people just don’t read the instructions when they buy something that’s between $70,000-$80,000.
I totally agree... read the manual! It's all in there! 🙏🏼
Why would anyone want that chime so damn loud?
Exactly! 😵💫 😁
Only if you are hard of hearing. Only reason I can think. Some of my family that have been around heavy equipment their entire lives, will have that chime cranked so they can hear it…
If ever think about selling it, let me know !
