It's really not that impressive. They've got the 2nd row slide way forward giving the illusion of legroom but if someone was sitting there it would be less. Slide it back and a 2008 Expedition has as much room as that and the seat sits higher for more comfort. That third row is too low with your knees jacked to your chest. Chevy has been way behind on 3rd seating for a LONG time. They are only just catching up. Expeditions 3rd row reclines too. I don't believe Chevy's does. It's certainly improved but I think Ford still takes the edge on seating.
That's a gorgeous real SUV a boss ride they really took the interior up with the real wood and leathers and that stitching and finally a real 3rd row for grown folks
mold man the great Have u ever been to Europe?Women either drive a MB C class or some Toyota.Real G’s ride in big beamers that cost as much as the average American house.
The interior is garbage. The 6.2 is possibly the worst engine of all time. It makes no power and is hilariously unreliable. They have cam issues, valve train issues, overheating issues, headgasket issues, oil consumption issues. The list goes on.
@@Boss-bf7ruShow me data. Because you say it, people are suppose to believe you? This isn't liberal CNN where you assume people are gullible. Next you'll say GMs 350 engine is unreliable.
@@ervinmezey7572 I could turn your comment back around on you. Show data that the 6.2 is bulletproof. Because you say it, people are supposed to believe you? I know for a fact that the 6.2 is trash because I work on them every day. I know all this from personal experience. But if you don't believe me look it up yourself.

@@Boss-bf7ru I've put 165,000 miles on my 2010 GMC with a 6.2. Never a problem. Wife has just under 100,000 on her 2014 Denali - never a problem. No oil leaks, no overheating. Independent mechanics praise the 6.2 (and 5.3 & 5.7). It's everything the Ford 7.4 wasn't (since its 1994 inception): Reliable and a workhorse. I'm not a GM fan boy. Only thing I'm a fan of is my money. GM V8s are reliable (mic drop).
@@ervinmezey7572 LOL mic drop he says. Thats cute. I can tell you are mad. I know for a fact that you are full of shit. I work on these engines every day. If your "mechanic" "praises" the 6.2 you need to find a better mechanic. Any good mechanic will agree with me and disagree with you. There are literally TSBs for all of the 6.2s famous well documented engineering faults. Now you most likely have no idea what a tsb is so ill explain it to you. TSB stands for Technical Service Bulletin. Manufacturers send out TSBs to all the dealerships to show the technicians how to repair the issue. The list of TSBs for the 6.2 is extremely long. BTW 165000 miles is nothing. I find it funny that you think that is a lot. Here is your mic back try again.
We rented an XL for a cross country trip. First of all, insanely comfortable, drove smooth, no problems at all. Drunk driver in an Escalade collided us in the back going 60 while we were going 10. His vehicle was toast, ours had some body damage with a tail light broken, but otherwise it drove like it never happened. These things are tanks. Definitely considering buying one for myself now.
This Denali is large and in charge! I think it looks better than the Escalade. More manufacturers should follow the rear wiper placement. Great job Joe! Stay safe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Parents just upgraded to this from a 2014 qx80 and this new truck is insane! So many features and feels so much more modern. It makes even the new infinity’s seem ancient. 👍🏽
Joe!!! You of all people should know, there is absolutely replacement for displacement. The Expedition stomps it out at 5.9sec and gets better gas mileage. What a beautiful truck though, super excited for the diesel!!!
Great review Joe as always. The 2021 Yukon Denali is definitely worth the wait! GM has raised the bar on this vehicle. I love the attention to detail that was put into this vehicle need less to say yes there are some options GM have missed out and should have captured from thier previous designs but hey hopefully GM will listen more and have those options added in thier next design. I do love the built in infotainment system just bang on the money as well as exterior and interior of the vehicle. The driving experience is exceptional great job GM in delivering a great product 👍🏿.
This suv looks absolutely amazing. I have yet to see such a decorative and luxurious look to an suv. I’m a ford guy, and I wish ford redid the expedition to be like this. Me and my fam have an old 2000ish Denali and it works great. I just hope this new one is reliable. Thx for another awesome review raiti.👍😊
GMC killed it with the 2021 Yukon Denali. Looks great both inside and out. Love that third row. They only thing I wish it had was a digital instrument cluster.
When Joe said it just came off the truck. It stuck a memory Does anyone every think of how many vehicles that come off the truck get struck by side rails and get repainted. I never even thought of this until I seen my friend Jerry at a new dealer . He owns a body shop and makes a living off dealers sideswiped vehicles. When you get a new car. LOOK at the paint good. If you don’t have a trained eye find one or get a paint meter.
I'm gonna zonk that tail lights extending to the tailgate. The shape reminds me of the Terrain which doesn't make sense. It looks really cheaply made. The best taillights in the market right now is the Telluride.
I watch almost your videos man out of everyone I’ve seen review cars in history no joke you do the best man.... your choice of words and everything is great no one could do it better man ! Spot on keep your the good work. You defiantly make me one to buy some of the cars you review
@@trentjmcdonald Yep, it's a better "value". Cadillac Escalade customers aren't worried about values. They want the very best and with the 2021 Escalade that is exactly what you are getting. We bought an Escalade because of the freaking insane tech they came out with and you can't get that in the Yukon. Also bought it because it just oozes luxury and has a ton of finishes and touches that make it a step above the Yukon. Don't get me wrong, the Yukon is nicer than it's ever been, we've had 3 of them over the years, but the new Escalade is truly something special.
It’s a great SUV, I’m just surprised by the lack of storage spaces in the front row. No sunglasses holder, no dual glove compartment, no storage behind the infotainment screen. I expected a little more in storage for a vehicle of this size. The Tahoe even gives you an additional storage compartment next to the infotainment screen. Advantage Ford Expedition Platinum.
How is the third row passenger supposed to see the screen and how do you protect the screen from being used as grab handles or hit my plywood or draywall?
We also have historically chosen the Yukon Denali over the Escalade but not this time (3 times to be exact!). The new Escalade is finally far enough above and beyond the Denali that we bought it. I have no regrets. For some reason GMC decided not to put all the tech in the Denali which is a shame. It is certainly nice enough to pull it all off.
I have an odd feeling that Chevy and GMC are doing the same thing that Honda did with like the Ridgeline and the pilot threre trying to make two cars look similar but they aren’t similar at all
I really admire your ability to build emotion but also explain utility of the things that differentiate the Denali package, really builds value. Thank you for a great video, I don't want anything BUT the Denali!
Hey Joe I am a subscriber since last year and you know whats funny i was just building you 2021 yukon denali for a gift to my Aunt right now she has a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali and she loves it but the only reason why she wants the 2021 is because of that combination of the white and brown ish interior and on her 2011 she did straight pipe and it sounds nice
Joe, great video, I appreciate all of your thorough reviews and content. The only thing I’d like to see you enhance your videos would be multiple camera angles and feeds when test driving! I think that would definitely provide the viewers with the exact rich content we’re all looking for! Great job though! I wasn’t considering a SLT until after seeing your video, but you really highlight what you get and you could save $20k versus a Denali, which, as you might say, buys a whole lot of twinkies or rolexes! Thanks and keep making great videos!
He calls that a "ripped-up section" of road. Joe, let me tell you, I live in Michigan and if you saw what a ripped-up section looks like around here, you'd faint. I am incredibly envious of your roads there in Florida. Love your channel too; keep up the great work !!
I ONLY LOVE GM TRUCK , BECAUSE IT IS VERY SMOOTH TO DRIVE, TO ME NO BMW, NÓ AUDI, NÓ MERCEDES-BENZ, NO VOWAGEN TRUCK, I'M A GMC AND CHERVY TRUCK FAN, AFTER I GOT THE 2003 CHERVY TRAILBLAZER V8 LONG WHEEL BASE
It’s is very apparent that the American manufacturers have stepped up their game. Their vehicles always seemed aberrant and lacking but it looks like they can actually compete. Which I’m very excited for. Imagine GM trading shots with European manufacturers this had never happened.
@@Red_Ryan_Red I really like mine. It's just a basic 6L small block, no afm, vvt etc or cam phasers. With proper maintenance 300k miles should be possible.
I haven’t been a fan of the Yukon Denali in at least a decade but that 2021 model looks absolutely incredible front to back. GMC really did a great job on that one with aesthetics and every ergonomic detail; honestly it’s in Escalade company now - great review as always, thanks Joe! 🔥
Denalis and high countries have always been my only favorite part about GM trucks and SUVs, except Chevy finally added the high country to the 2021 Tahoes and Suburbans.
Jai Bankins: Yeah, they are killing it all right. Killing YOUR bank account and laughing all the to the bank. Your $80K dollar investment will be worth maybe $30K in 3 short years. If you think that’s a good idea then I have a beautiful bridge to sell you.
I think gmc needs to put a digital speedometer it would cool and takes it up a level if you can see the whole gps navigate on the speedometer screen like the Cadillac and 3D navigate where it shows you to turn ....my dad got the Cadillac but I wanted the Denali ...I’m not disappointed with the Cadillac I think he doesn’t have fog light...
I have faded from Gm after 35 years because of my last two lemon Cadillac. However if anyone is in the market for an Escalade this is the equivalent and so much less money. And definitely a sharp looking one . I’m glad I learned today what a Twinkie wipe looks like.😂🤣
I were gonna spend $100k on an SUV, I definitely wouldn't spend it on an Escalade. I rather spend $100k on a Mercedes GLS or BMW X7 not quite as large but way better vehicle for the price.
I bought the very first one in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX for my wife 3 weeks ago and I too paid full MSRP for it but let me tell you, totally worth every penny!
I can’t decide between a Yukon Denali and Defender P400. Which one do you think has a better ride quality and bang for the buck? I have a family of four and do a lot of city driving and ling trips as well..
It looks nice but I just don't understand why GM has like 3 different versions of the same car and then with multiple sub trims under those. Ford makes it simple. You want a mainstream version you get an Expedition, you want luxury, you get the Navigator.
Because it has variety. Plus the pricing is different on all of them so you can find the perfect price for you. The Ford Expedition has a crappy interior they need to update it. There’s plastic everywhere but in these new suvs there’s actual real metal and wood. The top of the line Expedition is more then the top of the line BRAND NEW Suburban! That’s crazy because the interior in the Ford isn’t even of the same level as the new Suburban!
Your practically paying $80,000 for a 2020 top of the line Expedition. But your paying only $76,500 on the top of the line 2021 Suburban. The Expedition is overpriced.
heavyg 1971 might be more reliable but wayyy down on technology. Guess it’s a tradeoff, some people just want a big suv that wont break down, but I mean at that price, Id want all the tech goodies too.
The Sequoia hasn't been updated since like 2001. Those of us that need the XL, EL, ESV versions (I honestly don't know why anyone would buy the short) Ford, Lincoln, Chevy, GMC and Cadillac are all we have to choose from. So multiple trim levels of two trucks. That's it. Period. No other choices.
no eating in this gorgeous vehicle!! just sitting carefully, hands in your lap lol
amen. LOL
Lol right
True no fries with ketchup in that monster
...And tape on mouths..lol
That third row is truly insane, it’s better then a lot of second rows in small sedans lol
What’s crazy is that this isn’t even the XL version. That one will be insane.
All that room to relax to wait for AAA tow.
Wow 🤩 I don’t need to Crawl & jump to pull up the seats that’s insane🤩🙌🏻😂😂😂😂

The best looking other than an Escalade
There’s NO replacement for displacement 🇺🇸. I like that! 👌🏼
lots of sexual inuendo on this review, I guess the Yukon turned him on.
I come for the review and I stay for joe and his awesome jokes ❤️
This thing would be such a hit in India. SUVs are all the rage here,and this one would be every Politician and celebrity's favourite ride!
Them Yukhons looks more and more like an Escalade.
I’m glad that they actually don’t, because I don’t like the Escalade.
@@jcanto377 lol. I'm looking at like the back area, that's where they look like it to me.
i mean...
Cadillac Escalade ❤️
That statement is true. The 1999-00 Esclade and Denalis are the same exact thing.
Are there paddle shifters behind the wheel? I can't imagine mountain driving and having to constantly reach up like that to downshift
I love it GMC is killing it
Jai Bankins: Yeah, they are killing it all right. Killing YOUR bank account and laughing all the to the bank. Your $80K dollar investment will be worth maybe $30K in 3 short years. If you think that’s a good idea then I have a beautiful bridge to sell you.
Except for the Chevy Silverado which is terrible.
@@pirate1012 But it's selling quite well to be so terrible.
Fast Time third best seller after Ram and the F150. Not to mention it was overtaken by the Ram for 2nd place, so it’s not doing too well.
I love full size SUVs actually its SUVs I prefer seeing capable and functional
I love this design mire than the chevy, superb awesome car.
He does the best auto review videos.
Definitely will pick this over an Expedition
I search for a vehicle and BOOM , Raiti’s Rides for President of TH-cam vehicle reviews
“You have your Twinkie wiping cloth...so if you need to wipe your Twinkie off you can wipe it off very nicely.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You can’t be serious.
Twinkie cream on the chin is close to pornographic, don't you think.
I mean, this a family channel 🥴
Too fancy not to make love in lol
I think gmc needs to put a digital speedometer it would cool and takes it up a level if you can see the whole gps navigate on the speedometer screen like the Cadillac and 3D navigate where it shows you to turn ....my dad got the Cadillac but I wanted the Denali ...I’m not disappointed with the Cadillac I think he doesn’t have fog light...
Got one in my garage just like this. Love it!
Congrats!
I have faded from Gm after 35 years because of my last two lemon Cadillac. However if anyone is in the market for an Escalade this is the equivalent and so much less money. And definitely a sharp looking one . I’m glad I learned today what a Twinkie wipe looks like.😂🤣
If I'm spending over 70 k on a truck like this, I'd just spend a little more and get the new Escalade.
I were gonna spend $100k on an SUV, I definitely wouldn't spend it on an Escalade. I rather spend $100k on a Mercedes GLS or BMW X7 not quite as large but way better vehicle for the price.
Lol yes until you get the repair bill😂😂
D.A. J. I don’t know man that new Escalade is pretty crazy. Definitely not something you would expect from GM
@@noahmcclure2515 if you can spend 100k on an suv you should be able to pay high maintenance costs. If not, you made a wrong choice.
but the screens in that are just too much, there comes a point where its just not worth
“you don’t gotta whip your twinkie out” had me rolling!
It would be so difficult to choose a vehicle right now, lots of amazing choices!
I sold one of these Yesterday here at Hendrick GMC Chevy Cadillac at Southpoint in Durham NC one of the first in the state! Full sticker baby
That is really awesome! Congrats!
I bought the very first one in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX for my wife 3 weeks ago and I too paid full MSRP for it but let me tell you, totally worth every penny!
Jooooooooe!!!! This. Is. Awesome!!! You stay bringing this excellent content bruh!!! #OnThrottle #BigManTings #ToTheDoorPanel #ThatsAZonk
You are so great brother! Thanks for always tuning in and letting me share the excitement with you!
I can’t decide between a Yukon Denali and Defender P400. Which one do you think has a better ride quality and bang for the buck? I have a family of four and do a lot of city driving and ling trips as well..
"Sometimes its a pain to whip your twinkie out..." LOL
Thanks Joe. I think that is the one I’m going to buy. Yukon DenLi in that same colors. Thanks for reviewing this vehicle!! -Randy
When are we gonna see your 350r?
TONIGHT!
Notifications are on will be waiting!
This is easily my favorite large body on frame SUV. Great exterior and interior.
It looks nice but I just don't understand why GM has like 3 different versions of the same car and then with multiple sub trims under those. Ford makes it simple. You want a mainstream version you get an Expedition, you want luxury, you get the Navigator.
What if you don’t want the mainstream, but don’t want the luxury?
Because it has variety. Plus the pricing is different on all of them so you can find the perfect price for you. The Ford Expedition has a crappy interior they need to update it. There’s plastic everywhere but in these new suvs there’s actual real metal and wood. The top of the line Expedition is more then the top of the line BRAND NEW Suburban! That’s crazy because the interior in the Ford isn’t even of the same level as the new Suburban!
Your practically paying $80,000 for a 2020 top of the line Expedition. But your paying only $76,500 on the top of the line 2021 Suburban. The Expedition is overpriced.
Joe, this is one bad mama jamma. I have a yukon 2007. This new Yukon is bringing some serious upgrades.
the 2021 yukon and tahoe are the same just different exterior and little interior tweaks
No shit
@@KingARob_ LOL
To a point.
@@KingARob_ LOL
@@thegoodman3810 LOL
Is there any ambient lighting in the denali? I tried to look it up but didnt get any results
Good review Joe! $80K for a domestic suv is just nuts. I'd rather buy Sequoia (if I was in the market,)that will last twice
as long.
heavyg 1971 might be more reliable but wayyy down on technology. Guess it’s a tradeoff, some people just want a big suv that wont break down, but I mean at that price, Id want all the tech goodies too.
The Sequoia hasn't been updated since like 2001. Those of us that need the XL, EL, ESV versions (I honestly don't know why anyone would buy the short) Ford, Lincoln, Chevy, GMC and Cadillac are all we have to choose from. So multiple trim levels of two trucks. That's it. Period. No other choices.
Too bad the current sequoia is so ugly and outdated
