This truck is beautiful!!! I think the exterior looks like a $70,000 truck. But that interior though.... NO SIR!!!! it looks dated and cheap.
That’s why I went with a RAM! The interior in the RAM is luxurious.
Yup Ram has both the interior and exterior
@Diamondy2 mom m m m c. V namm,mm;₩•`€
@@dgjdub7 The problem with the ram is its still a dodge.
100% agree, the interior looks exactly same Chevy Z71
this is my 1st video i see of you Ben, and let me tell you , you where great to watch, very detailed and honest review of the truck and you weren't boring to watch
I love how unrehearsed the feedback was from Isha. Very genuine.
Great review!
This was a really nice post. Great job
Bad ass truck and solid review!
I was looking at truck reviews and came across your channel. Very good content.
Love your channel love to see the brothas doing it big.
I totally agree. I’m gonna subscribe to this brothers Chanel and support.
It will be mine in 2022!!! Can't wait for it!!!! :) thanks! :)
Great job on review, pros & cons. I have been looking at this truck appreciate your prospective.
A really good review Thanks
I have a 2013 Denali crew cab its perfect for a family of 4, my wife even rides in the back comfortably when the baby is grumpy, love that color
Great review!!
Great review. Keep them coming!
I sure will!
Another epic video and Love seeing you together family. Peace and Love NYC...
Thank you!
Nice review, good job.
I enjoy your video, thanks and keep it up
Very well made video. Subscribed.
Nice truck. Thanks for sharing.
My god.. you have such a soft and nice voice very easy way to explain... Would love to see more and more videos from you
Nothing beats the Ram interior in Limited and Laramie editions.
Hey I like gold but if you like silver that’s fine too 😂
I just don't like the interior design on GM trucks
@@raymonds7492 agreed with you!!...Honesty GMC DENALI is awesome on the exterior...But RAM is awesome on the interior and exterior, GMC needs to do something different in the inside NOW either chevy,their interiors are sucks compare to competitors and now you have the new f150 luxury in the interior...come on GMC!!😬
The 2022 model will get an interior refresh, finally.
@@alexrosales7855 and where is their high speed off-roader? RAM has the trx now.
Love the color and the Denali it’s beautiful that’s my dream truck that tailgate is awesome. Love the Denali truck. Love the inside of it love
Loved the review Ben. You’re one of my favorite reviewers on TH-cam! Would be interested in your review of the 2022 Denali 1500 - looks like they’ve made some upgrades to the interior so would be great to see you do a review.
Truck and review on point
Great review!
Really great review. You have a new subscriber.
That's awesome! Let's test the airbags see how they work.
Hey Ben, Another great video from you and the Mrs. I would give this Denali an A+ on the exterior. The color really stands out and it's a departure from the Raptor/Ram look. I would give the interior a C-. You can really see the cost-cutting with the lack of up-to-date tech and comfort.
Great video!
Great video man! Great shots, great points and amazing idea with having your wife give Her view on the truck too! Keep it up and please review the 2022 Denali as soon as it comes out. It’s gona be interesting!
Thank you!
Well done mate.
Great review. I look forward to your review of the 2022 “refreshed” Sierra Denali.
Great review
Great job. I agree on pretty much all points made. FYI I have a 20’ Silverado ltz and I don’t miss not having the GMC tailgate.
Dang GMC! Get it together with that interior!
Good job Ben. Thanks for pointing out all of the trucks shortcomings. I really appreciate that. I will not be ordering one based on your great tour. Maybe they will fix all that in 2022.
Very nice Truck & I've never owned a pickup in my life, but I do know a nice truck when I see one
Great review I had my reservations about GMC trucks but upon further research I purchased a GMC Sierra sle as my Tundra was totalled in an accident.
Love the kick back feature
love the review. i have the same exact one but 2019. 6.2 liter is WOOOOOF
I like having a stalk in my truck to be honest..it makes sense to me. But I get it lol
New sub for sure
People hate on the GM twins interiors but their exteriors are far better looking than the competition. Love my 19 Silverado and this Denali is beautiful.
I like your work 👍👍✊👊
I appreciate that!
Beautiful truck!
Nice review
Good review.
Seeing trucks like this make me want to trade my truck in. I do agree the interior needs an update.
That’s it! I’m powder coating black the wheels on my ‘21 Cayenne Red 2500 Denali HD. Was worried how’s the black red chrome would look.
Big fan of your channel ben ..
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Are you using a fixed place camera like a GoPro or are you using a camera person with a gimbal? Also thanks for the video, recently got into the market for a Denali 1500.
Considered this but went with the F150 Platinum because of the aforementioned interior. Great Video.
You made the right choice!
I'm really not a truck person yet I've owned a 2003 Honda crv but watching TH-cam reviews videos of many tuck models and brands and see them on person on the street if I was to buy a new truck first time 2021 the ram has my eyes on them and attraction simply the interior and luxury and over all there really ahead on the technology interior
Great review. I’ll take one. 🙂
Thanks for the video man, you guys are right a lot of missed opportunities for such expensive vehicle. Considering selling my 14 Tundra and have been looking at the Denali for some time. However kind of disappointed in the showing by GMC. True it has more bells and whistles than my Tundra, but it should I bought the Tundra for one goal hauling my daughters in car seats. Really not considering anything else so decision time, hold onto the Tundra longer or just look for something else.
Great review man! I would have preferred a gloss black face front grill and accents instead of the chrome, being that it's the Carbon edition.
Nice Truck, Thanks for Your Breakdown; My last & 2nd Full Size Truck was a 2002 GMC 2500 HD Burgundy SLT. I'm Liking These Trucks despite the Leather. Leather in SLT wasn't Great. but I Put 188,000 before Trade In! The 2500 was more Power than I ever needed. So I will Be Looking at the 2021 GMC Denali 1500 Crew Cab Carbon Pro Edition Thanks Again!
I wish i can buy this baby 😍😍 one of my dream car 🔥😍
She does have an exterior i love. But the interior completely fails.
I agree so much. I love both GMC and Chevy exterior the most by far, but they lack their interior imo
Honestly should’ve waited for the 2022 redesign, heard about rumour and leaks of a new interior for next years model
I’ll take it
What truck would you say has the best interior right now?
@@Chris-iq5pr honestly, the upgraded RAM is f$@king awesome imo. The Ford is nice too but I feel like the Rams bug touch screen pushes it to the top
Bought an AT4 March 5, 3.0 diesel. Has all the options this one one does. Great Truck! Fuel mileage is outstanding.
I LIKE THE SHIFTER
Great review! I've been a GM guy my whole life, but I just ordered a new F-150. GM has to up their game if they expect to stay in the truck race.
The new F-150 is super nice! Congratulations to you!
Ben thanks for the video! Couple things, did GM do away with the active noise canceling? Also while wood on the steering wheel looks nice it’s not practical in the cold weather, unless they actually heat that part! I like your suggestion about the rotating shifter but Ram/Chrysler has had so many issues in the past. I’m glad though the shifter is off the center console. One more thing, the screens are not important as you need hard buttons to operate the controls. Trying to operate with the touch screen is too dangerous while driving. GM does a good job not making you use the screen for everything. Think glove wearing. Same issue with the sunroofs. You leave that cover open and you get nothing but zero degrees cold permeating through. You did a great job, thanks again!
Thanks for the cold weather perspective. I live in Florida so I don't have the same cold weather concerns but this input gives me good insight...appreciate your points.
Ben, you are a great reviewer. Thanks. The only thing I could disagree on is I prefer the actual shifter lever for gears, not a knob.
A gorgeous console mounted shifter is coming with the 2023 model.
Beauty
Hi all !! I noticed that "step" is on both sides under the tailgate instead of in front of the back wheels! This truck is gonna go far!
Hi Mr.Wayne! Say...Have you reviewed the GM product with the 3 liter diesel yet? IDK if you have yet. I haven't seen one from your prospective as of yet, however I maybe incorrect. But I'd really like your assessment.
Interior kills that truck. The exterior is so sweet.
This truck is a beauty and this is the more pleasant review by far: you keep smiling looking at it, as a soon to be husband holding his soon to be bride's hand.
Great presentation. You nailed all the “ plus’s”and “all the many “ “minus’s”.Beautiful truck, “but”.72,000$ ?.
Great video you two! After being a long time GM guy and owning two Sierras, they recently lost me to Ford. This past weekend I purchased a 2021 F150 Limited Powerboost and it has all of the luxury interior features this truck is missing. The F150 will back up a trailer for you and I also got the new 7.2 kw generator which will power your home or camper off grid. It also has the Active 360 2.0 Prep Package that will allow self driving later this year via an over the air update. I hear Super Cruise is coming to the 22 models.
As unbelievable as I think the Ford is, it's missing a few features that were in my 2014 Sierra that annoy me like Auto Reverse Tilt Mirrors, proximity door lock feature (when you walk away from the vehicle it automatically locks) It's also missing a head up display which I really came to enjoy on both of my Camaro ZL1s. Also, as much as a leap forward Sync 4 seems to be over Sync 3. GMC's intellilink system just works better. You could send directions from your phone to your nav since 2013, but it doesn't seem to work in the F-150.
In all, I think you can't go wrong with this truck because it's a bit of a throwback. Nobody makes a great looking street truck anymore. The Denali, Elevation and Chevy Silverado RST are the only games in town. Also the stalk column shifter is one of the only true THIS IS A TRUCK characteristics remaining. There's something to be said about pulling it down into gear that adds to the experience. And I believe that is why it's still there, even though the Yukon has gone away from this.
Again, great review and I look forward to more.
Hows your drivetrain? Rusting out yet??? 😒
@@timpoortinga8184 so far so good. No rust.
Nice review...going back and forth between Denali or High Country...but the Carbon bed seems to be the deal breaker. Now need to wait until dealers get some inventory.
I need a truck ASAP but I’m going to hold my money for the 2022 Denali hopefully gmc put their people to work inside of the truck,one more shot after this we need a miracle....
Nice
Damn that truck is so dope!!!
Dope but toooo much chrome, it's not 2002 lol
@@bobbymoore2076 it’s an easy fix though. Just wish the center console was better for this price range. Should be more like the new Tahoe center console
Such a stunning exterior. Incredible tailgate, but uhh 🙇♂️, the interior. Had a Denali several years ago and the interior looks the same.
Ben we need the Alpina BX7 video. Please!!! We know you'll do a great video.
I'll look in to that.
GMC needs to look at what Nissan’s HU looks like in their Titan.Totally agree the HU looks so outdated,to me it’s the only thing letting it down.Good job guys on the review.
Never thought id wanna sell my Escalade ext
GM time to step up the game
Peace. I’m not the one to give comments often. I really hope you read my words... here I go. First off. Nice truck. For the record, I own a 2020 Denali. I’d love to send you pics and videos. Ok ! The Denali is the best truck out there on the market. I’m so sick and tired of people being so ignorant when it comes to trucks and specifically our truck. These manufacturers have a budget to work with when it comes to producing a single vehicle. Let’s say a single vehicle cost 20k. To produce. GMC didn’t spend 8k in interior and 5k in a panoramic roof with all of the structural and integrity upgrades for roll-over insurance institute ratings Mumbo-jumbo...!!! Nooo! They said... let’s give the world The most beautiful vehicle the car industry has ever produced. Let’s do something ground breaking with the tailgate. Let’s give an naturally aspirated engine that KICKS AZZ ...! Don’t get me stars in this trucks power. I have video of my rear dash cam with me SMOKING ... this poor Ford Lariat..! The Ram limited’s power is just as bad... and the Ford’s limited... yes, the limited edition with the Raptor engine and all that power has some called “turbo -lag “ so although it has mor power. You should feel the huge jerking motion it has upon acceleration... even in lower gears... and although they(Ford-and Gm) collaborated on the Allison transmission I promise you that fords 10speed feels like and 8peed. I know this because I’ve test driven them. And just recently bought a work truck xlt. If you want all the nicer roofs and stitching then be prepared to pay 12k more. That will be the difference. And the 12” screens are problematic and not as HD as the Denali...I can go on. The Bose sound is amazing and I’ve added the kicker sub... OMG...!!! Don’t even go there Ford or ram... No comparison. I’ll end it here. Nothing I’ve written was intended to be personally insulting to anyone. I’m passionate about my truck and I wish it was a way to post pics. Most people that comment drive hoopties... For 72k. When you drive down the road you actually look like it. Not so much for other competitors who haven’t changed their body style and you can’t tell if a particular trim is 30k or 80k. Until you can see the badge in the rear .. are you kidding me ..!
This exterior with a new Ram or maybe Ford interior is my ideal
I recently purchased this vehicle and was quite disappoint when looking at the Ford and Ram. GMC should have kept the adjustable pedals and it doesn't come with a center console organizer. It seems like a deep hole for the center console. I do agree with all of his cons for this vehicle. I've tried to love it by installing a cold air intake and borla exhaust. Love the modification but still regret the purchase.
I've had the vehicle for a few months and considering selling it.
It is interesting both you and your wife like the ride. Did you all take it on highway? Or on rough roads?was it still smooth?
Yes we took this on the highway and experienced the same level of comfort, on less than perfect roads you will feel bumps, but no more than a luxury sedan since the wheelbase is so long.
Great Review!!! I was able to agree on the exterior as a very nice improvement and that swinging running step is excellent. The interior looks no different than my current 07 Yukon XL styling and that is a huge disappointment. I'm upgrading my touchscreen stereo based on this review instead of shopping for a new truck now...that small screen looks dated and the lack of luxury touches is glaring inside. I would prefer some contrasting signature stitching, the reclining rear seats would be amazing. Lastly a panoramic sunroof, my wife's caddy suv has a nice one and brightens her car even with the Florida sun we appreciate it in a dark interior. The tailgate is a really nice feature but I won't buy a truck just for a multifunction tailgate EVER lol. GMC Can do better at this price point for a "luxury" truck.
Nice Video!!! Chevy... GMC... Ford... So behind in updating the Entertainment Area!!! So Outdated!!! Bigger Screens Needed
These trucks look awesome on the outside just feel the cockpit isn't appealing enough.
Good great job having the spouse giving her pov. The better half has a vote on $77k I just hope guys had a don’t argue on who’s gets to drive today. Exterior, a true selling point... Interior, hit the nail on the head...fall short! The amount of money you’re put down, GM have to do a better job on keeping loyal GM owners from going to the competitors, no brainer!
Just Came across your channel this Easter holiday. I like your platform. I will be showing some support.
I still prefer the AT4, to be honest. While I dig that 6.2, I think my perfect version would be the AT4 with the Duramax and Carbon Pro bed. Glorious! Great review as always! Hey, the weather is warming up... let's get together and film!
They've gotta do something about the interiors, it's like they are a decade behind!
Sure thing! I wanna get vax'd first tho!
@@BenWayne85 Right?! The Denali interior is such a disappointment for the price. Real bummer. Hope the refresh brings it more in line with the Tahoe/Yukon, which I thought was more price appropriate. I'm getting vaxxed tomorrow, so let me know when you're good to go! 👍🏻
@@jax1079 got my first shot last week....so I got the ball rolling
the stalk is good
And they stall out pulln a trailer up hills,they jus look gud bro
Beautiful truck. The updated model is coming soon, so the price of these will drop.
GMC missed with this one cutting corners. They fell behind Ford and Ram but I’m looking forward to the redesign
Miles per gallon? Pollution stats (how much CO2 per yrs)?
Beautiful truck!! Only wish GMC wasn't so behind in their interior game.
Review toyota TUNDRA trd pro ben
I got a family of 6 what should i get? Gmc yukon xl
I have a 2020 version of this exact same vehicle, except mine is painted black.
Yeah me too in black...I love it
You are right about the inside. For a 2021, the screen should be a 12 inch, the sunroof should be better and the interior needs updating
@ben wayne
I don't understand why they didn't use the same interior layout as the Yukon Denali. Bean counters at GM losing the company money.
Yeah, the interior for 2022 looks to be a big improvement. Otherwise a beautiful truck.
