It's about 7am in Japan, just finished eating breakfast, watching Raiti's Rides. The best morning to begin the day. Not only I can learn about cars but also learn English that probably wouldn't be in text book. Thank you so much!
@@V8EngineSound As a non native speaker I feel the same. Big mamajama, chilling like a villain, snug as a bug in a rug. I learned a lot of idioms from him.😂
Bought a 24 F150 Platinum and have been extremely satisfied and happy since. Test drove a Denali Ultimate but for me I wanted the big dual panel moon roof and the seats in the F150 were more comfortable. Other than that super close between the two!
Awesome truck. You really want the dark chrome 😂😂 my dad had a 2002 Sierra Denali growing up loved that trcuk looked awesome that year had the 4 wheel steering and the orange lights on the roof and looked awesome.
I like the flat black fender protection on mine. I owned an earlier Ultimate and now a 2025. I like the hint of black on the front of the hood now, and I also had the paint colored fender flares / protection and it made the truck look more like an "old man's" truck to me; the flat black plastic is more durable and gives it a bit more aggressive look in my opinion. I like it better personally - my 2025 Ultimate in Sterling Silver with the 6.2L ... awesome truck, loving it
Great video! In the 1500 class Sierra Denali is the way to go. It just looks perfect inside and out. Can’t wait to get one someday, hopefully they have a panoramic sunroof by then. Kinda insane that this premium truck doesn’t have one.
I have the 2023 Sierra Denali, the reason why is the cabin roof is small to put the panoramic roof and the weight of the pano roof. Its understandable why they didn't include it. Most likely 2027 might have it along with the V8 engine upgrade.
Great review as usual. Noteworthy would have been that the Supercruise requires a monthly subscription after a while. I bought a 24 Ram Limited and learned the hard way that one has to subscribe in order to remote start the truck via the app. I'm just not a fan of being nickel and dimed after dropping 70k plus for a truck. Some will think it's not a big deal to pay a fee and that's okay but I mind.
Good overall review, it's a very nice truck. I like the idea of getting the double cab version 6.5 ft. bed with the 5.3 V8 in the Pro trim for less than half the price and having enough cheddar left over to put a Topo Topper Camper on the back. Then going to see Mt. Denali in person.
You should have shown the button on the power side step. Not many people know that it's there. At the end of each side step there's a button you can press with your foot.
I've had mine for about 6 weeks now. The kicker sound system doesnt work, it powers on but does not connect to bluetooth (tried with 3 different phones). Also, after seeing this video, I noticed that there are 4 bolts missing from the panel that holds the speakers in as well.. So, some quality issues but overall the luxury feel described here is pretty spot on. It definitely looks and feels like a high end vehicle. the Super Cruise is pretty awesome but not available on all roads.
Nice truck I like GMC but I know I can't afford that so but if I had my way about it if it was just a little Chrome on it I will get it deleted put all Chrome black on it then color match the fender flares
There dogshit the quality and recalls on them is pathetic and the v8 a get lifted issues and all the electronics on them are all from china or Mexico and for the money the frames aren’t even painted there coated in this POS wax that comes off with your bare hands Toyota and even dodge paint there frames which is way better.
You forgot to show the cubby doors in the back seats! That’s one of the coolest features. Overall, a great review and I agree on the missed opportunities to make it perfect… panoramic sunroof, ventilated rear seats….
Nice review. This truck would be my second choice. I ordered the Ram Tungsten. If I wanted more utility (towing, hauling, etc), the GMC would be my choice. Also, the discounts of the 2025 are greater making the Ram hard to beat.
The GMC Sierra 1500 is a beast of a truck! It’s got a powerful engine, great towing capacity, and a really comfortable interior. Plus, it’s loaded with tech features like advanced safety systems and a user-friendly infotainment system.
2023 and 24 6.2s have been suffering bearing failure in small amounts but concerning, so I will wait till the end if the generation to send a verdict...
I'm totally with you on the chrome, dark chrome all the way, please. But, I also have to ZONK something. When you go on throttle, please put the RAITI sign somewhere near the right bottom corner. It's very distracting in the middel. Other than that, great job Joe.
I think the shifter is a Zonk. When you are on the way to work you are reaching over the shifter and more chance to spill. Put the cup holder on the driver’s side. Put the same dash shifter as the Yukon or back on the steering column. Zonk.
Good day Joe great review. I got a question and you know the answer to this question which truck has the best ride ? And if you were to choose half ton truck which one is your pick? Thanks more power to you Chanel
@@vaxsurIts a Denali Ultimate, this will NEVER be a work truck, the most this thing will have in its bed is a TV or maybe some fishing equipment And don't even mention off roading 💀
Nice truck! Remarkable performance!! But it's about time GM listened. Why would they want to put veddar chrome on the grille for four years in a row and fail to replicate it around the vehicle? Go veddar or bright chrome all the way or black it all out like the AT4 or the Elevation. Also, put a cooling system on the rear seats.
Agreed with all the negative on the Crome they should had made them black, and bed should had come with cover to for the ultimate. The problem with the panoramic gnc used on the electric dosent have a cover is just glass. The guy told me even if we were to costume do it we wouldn’t be able to get cover on it . 🤷🏽 ps the driver system u can’t let go of the steering u have to keep ur hands on it. It was actually made to help people that fall sleep during driving vehicle will keep u on the rd
@@dgpatter None of these trucks, including the one in this review, will be going past 220k miles. Chrysler jeep dodge reliability problems are no longer relevant. Im not saying they have improved, I'm saying there's no difference between all of these trucks in the long term.
Hi Joe, I love your reviews, but I am going to have to give you a zonk for your towing knowledge. Several times, in this review and others, I have heard you refer to the electric trailer brake controller as a trailer release. It doesn't release anything. In fact, it is there to allow you to manually apply the electric brakes on your trailer if the automatic mode just isn't doing it for you. Keep up the great, entertaining reviews. I just wanted to alert you to this issue for future reviews.
@@kevinhellalong7838 Well, most vehicles can be a hit or miss in manufacturing. Some case, owners can misuse their trucks if its not properly maintain. Then again, pickup truck owners don't have time to maintain them because they use it mostly for work.

6 ltr V8 with integrated infosystem ❤❤ absolute beast, beautiful. Have to be integrated infosystem
I love the grille on this truck and the wheel openings should be body colored
Good point that is for sure
That’s an option on the truck, just not on this particular build
I totally agree about the black chrome.
Awesome truck. You really want the dark chrome 😂😂 my dad had a 2002 Sierra Denali growing up loved that trcuk looked awesome that year had the 4 wheel steering and the orange lights on the roof and looked awesome.
Oh wow! That is really is really awesome
Fresh haircut and fresh review. What a beautiful truck, and you boys knocked it outta the park too. Great review !!
You are right on point 4:05 my friend, love the truck and respect the very good review
The dark chrome is really good. Good to have everywhere. It look huge this vehicle.😊
This truck is the dream car of every man to have! This thing is the KING! My dad loves this truck awesome review I will show my dad
This Sierra 1500 Joe still looks sharp and fresh. Interesting what they'll do for 2026 or 2027 redesign.
I like the flat black fender protection on mine. I owned an earlier Ultimate and now a 2025.

The most luxurious full size truck. But WHERE IS MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF?!?!?!
Because it's not
GM said they couldn’t add it because how was truck was design but next gen GM trucks will get panoramic roof
@@jivangill Really? I have been googling that a long time ago and i didn't even know that
@ Yes in 2026 or 2027 next gen GM trucks will have it bro

Excellent review Raiti! And still no Tonneau cover at 90k! Unbelievable. Now, that's a Zonk. I can live without the panoramic roof.
Yes great review! I WILL DEFINITELY OWN ONE OF THESE SOON!
Glad you are doing the 2025 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate....
You should have shown the button on the power side step. Not many people know that it's there. At the end of each side step there's a button you can press with your foot.
Absolutely a Corvette/Camaro truck because of its 6.2L V8.
Yes of course Joe and I will buying this truck.

Stop da cap bro pops got a 2500hd Denali n that thing is strong n pretty
@@1sik5.3 i had one clip from the fender flare missing and someone clear coated over a rock at a factory lol not a big deal
Hate when manufacturers make that large of a screen but don't use the full size for the actual stuff down on it
this has to be the best truck
love that truck
Trust me so do I
Nice truck I like GMC but I know I can't afford that so but if I had my way about it if it was just a little Chrome on it I will get it deleted put all Chrome black on it then color match the fender flares
That’s a beautiful truck.
You gotta love a GMC truck
No i dont
The 6.2 has active exhaust when you switch the truck in sport mode. Opens up the valves.
THE SIRREA IS a great truck to buy
This is so very true

Yes of course Joe & I'm really like this truck.
Couldn’t agree more about the panoramic roof…. It should’ve been an option years ago!
Nice video keep up the great work Joe
This is a gorgeous truck. If you are going to spend this kind of money on a new vehicle. Might as well be something like this.
Did they upgrade the seat comfort from the 2024 model?
You ain't sneaky with that raitis speedometer censorship 😂
Now THAT is a truck!
You better believe it David
I agree with 100% concerning the chrome. I am not a fan of chrome and why they mixed and match it with the darker chrome.

One hell of a truck 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
You better believe it!
King ranch all day 🔥
This is an amazing truck. That 6.2L V8 sounded glorious as well.
Although the 3.0 Duramax diesel that is an option with this is no slouch, either.
I think the shifter is a Zonk. When you are on the way to work you are reaching over the shifter and more chance to spill. Put the cup holder on the driver’s side. Put the same dash shifter as the Yukon or back on the steering column. Zonk.
Love you 🤟
Thank you so

Ya like you the dark chrome on the front end would be nice
Love it nice truck for sure this is one I would buy for sure.
I love that truck very nice.
Love this truck, i wish they did the speakers in the headrest similar to the yukon ultimate
Day 52 requesting the bmw m5 touring review
Nice truck for 2025 Hopefully the transmission holds up after the first 50000 miles .
I love this truck
I like the fender around the wheel. That area picks up some much crap. Terrible to clean when color matched paint.
Does the V8 have the cylender deactivation that they are having so many issues with?
Love your reviews!! You’re one of my favorites! Can you PLEASE review the new 2025 Mercedes G63?? ….. To the door panels!!!
I'm all in on the RAM Tungsten spec. Just don't get any nicer, IMO.
Except for the engine
Good day Joe great review. I got a question and you know the answer to this question which truck has the best ride ? And if you were to choose half ton truck which one is your pick? Thanks more power to you Chanel

Not as of right now Bill! Thanks for your kind words!

I'd option it with the twigs. Only 2499.98 for the platinum ultimate twig package. Really, a steal.
😮😮😮you said 🔵 cruise no it's super cruise 😂😂😂
Joe would you pick this or the Tundra capstone?
This GMC all day long!
Capstone easily
If you can shell out 25k plus if the twin turbo fails out of warranty....
To be honest I’m waiting for the redesigned Denali. That’s the main reason why I’m waiting to purchase one.
Not everybody had your taste in truck chrome nor looks of chrome...personally I like the chrome
PROFESSIONAL
GRADE
I have the same beef with this. Why are the fenders still unpainted? Fail. Still with leaf springs? Fail
This absolutely needs candor chrome all over
I just want them to add supercruise to the at4x, is that too much to ask?!
YES, please change all the chrome on the Ultimate to the Vader Chrome.
I like the way that you think!
Blue Cruise is Ford assisted driving. SUPER Cruise in a GMC! 👍🏼
You’re absolutely right!
I wish Cadillac still made a pick up
Nice pool analogy in reference to the chrome on the lower grill. GM, you should listen to Joe.
That was my favorite part! Haha
You know that you have made a life when you have the Apostle to the pickup trucks!
You are so very right about that Luis
Yep I feel like this is a dandy.@@RaitisRides
It needs an all Vader Chrome option for ALL emblems, wheels, and trim to be the Ultimate
The Ram Tungsten ran away with that title.
That’s what some have said
