@@Dive-Bar-Casanova Yes, exactly. The Ultimate has everything a fully loaded regular Denali or HighCountry has, and some more. The addtional cost comes from the Ultimate exclusive Vader Chrome trim/badges, extra premium wood trim & leather surfaces, suede headliner, power massaging seats, and premium Bose sound system. The Duramax is standard as well.
Thank you very much. I have been looking for a complete side by side comparison of these two and your video really was helpful! Thanks again.. And I in northern Utah!
One other thing to note is the 13.4in screen is lower on the gmc due to placement of the vents which causes the console shifter to block some of the views. 🤦♂️
JB your content and videos are always fabulous. In fact so much so that I ordered the 24 Denali Ultimate Dually and it just arrived. Of course I’m on vacation out of town when this thing arrives a month early. I can’t wait to put these hands on her. That said if you’re up for a Florida break your welcomed to come and review the latest ultimate. We take delivery Tuesday, 06/27 at 6pm.
Love the comparison, I'd like to see the ltz, high country comparison I built to the other night and ltz almost had everything the high country had but came in 5k less, only thing I could tell is you had a more interior options and little better trim inside. If even like to see the at4 in the comparison, I do like the midnight high country though, just wish they would let you get the night shade with it.
Great comparison. I noticed on the options for your gasser a dual alternator setup. Would love to see a closeup video of that setup. My 22 only has one and I am having a difficult time finding what parts I need to add a second alternator to charge lithium's in my RV. 2 local dealers and 2 online GM parts say they can't help me to get the additional parts needed to add second alternator, their system doesn't support a "kit" to add second alternator. I'm going to do it one way or the other.
Great Video, Because GMC is the flagship / name carrier GM - Chevy is just one of the brands. Many options on the Chevys are standard on the GMC. The Denali Ultimate needs to have all black interior as an options. The baby poop orange/brown is revolting; knockoff from King Ranch. I like the placement of the trailer controller better on the HC than the DU. Has anyone driven across country in these? GM is known for horrible seats. The screen is too low. The screen need to be as close to the drivers line-of-sight as possible.
Both are nice. The Denali Ultimate is going to be a pretty good amount more than a High Country though. One thing with your truck is the accessory wheels are pretty expensive. I think basically a $3,000 option. Either way it would just be personal preference I think.
The High Country is probably more comparable to the regular Denali. I like the looks of the GMC better. I do like the Chevy console/trailer brake location better. Don't know why they don't offer 12v outlets
Great video on both trucks, but you forgot a small detail you forgot to mention that the GMC from AT4 Through Denali ultimate edition they do not come with the GM up fitter switches package. In those trim levels only GMC SLT and below. It’s pretty sad people would pay close to $100,000 for a truck and cant get upfitter switches. I truly wish that Chevrolet would put the side marker light on there trucks like the GMCs
If you want luxury you get gmc. If you want work friendly you get the Chevy. If you want to a truck to just ride in and look too while doing it you get gmc if you want something to do a little off roading your get the Chevy
One good sized rock chip in that Vader chrome amd one car wash later bye bye Vader chrome in thaT section. All it is tinted clear over chrome. It happen to me a big chunk came off
The ultimate should come in more then just 4 colors. I would like one in the ebony twilight metallic. Doesn’t show as man car wash sins as the ebony black. 😢
Hey jb, I just picked up my ultimate yesterday. But the infotainment is telling me my phone bt is no longer valid and am having to resync every start up. My radio stations aren’t saving either. Am I missing something? Just curious before I fool around with the dealer.
Both GMC and Chevy now have projector style headlights. However GMC does one-up Chevy by including projector style foglights as well. Chevy still uses reflector style foglights.
I might trade in my gas Chevy 2500 HD LT for a 3500 gas. I don't need finger vibrator or options that are forced down to me that I only use it once/twice or never use it at all. Did you do a thorough review on a new 3500 HD WT/LT trim gas?
Nice comparison. The vehicle industry is going to implode due to its own greed. Chrome hasn't been decent since the 70's, now it's just a shiny cheap coating. Overall, I believe your Chevy is a much better buy.
What the heck you talking about? Have you ever owned a diesel engine? Idling and fuel efficiency duramax is way better I don’t know where you get your facts from. I own a duramax and I know what I am talking about. Duramax engine is crazy amazing in fuel efficiency.
If fully deleted then yes, you’re correct. It’s fine to idle and fuel efficiency is much better than the gas. But if emissions is in tact (DPF/EGR) then idling too much destroys these motors and fuel efficiency is much worse than the gas unless towing heavy. JR here is just stating the facts from a factory standpoint, not a deleted/modded standpoint.
While yes that’s true if your doing city driving like he said your not really putting that diesel to work and they need to be worked so you might have slightly more issues not towing and driving it like a 1500
You know, it’s sad asf that these guys have to pretty much add disclaimers to these videos because all of you “know it all” types. There’s a huge difference between a stock/factory diesel and a heavily modified/deleted and tuned diesel. JR here is speaking factually from a stock /factory standpoint. So JR is absolutely correct with 99.9% of the information he’s telling you guys. If fully deleted then yes, these trucks are a much better and more reliable vehicle in just about every single way. So It’s fine to idle a lot on a fully deleted diesel and the fuel efficiency is much better than the gas counterpart. But if the factory emissions is in tact (DPF/EGR) then idling too much destroys these motors and fuel efficiency is much worse than the gas unless towing heavy. JR here is just stating the facts from a factory standpoint, not a deleted/modded standpoint. (I have about 10 or so years of experience as a mechanic with both heavy diesel trucks and semi trucks as well as a cross country truck driver for another about 10 years.)
I would buy the Chevy with gold and chrome trim because I’m every single one of your grandpas who wants that fresh pimp ass chrome and gold trim… Forget all that stupid, cheap model, black bullshit I want that chrome and gold and fucking fine finish!
The HighCountry is the equivalent to the regular Denali. Denali Ultimate is a step above both.
Yes check options vs price. Ultimate may not be as much more money than we think.

@@dallasfrost1996more like the only engine option for the ultimate
I like that GM has Google Maps built into the trucks for 2024 models. Thanks for sharing the video JB.

Absolutely the best comparison video made to date. Thank you sir!
Have you thought about doing a review of the 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness?
One good sized rock chip in that Vader chrome amd one car wash later bye bye Vader chrome in thaT section. All it is tinted clear over chrome. It happen to me a big chunk came off
you serious? warranty claim
Can't wait for the new Ram Tungsten. Have to see if it will be worth the extra money over the Limited.
say whaaat?
The ultimate should come in more then just 4 colors.
I would like one in the ebony twilight metallic.
Doesn’t show as man car wash sins as the ebony black. 😢
Love the blue interior on the high country😍
New '24 Duramaxs run cleaner, less soot plus improved programming so the exhaust particular filter clogging problem should now be behind us.
Hey jb, I just picked up my ultimate yesterday. But the infotainment is telling me my phone bt is no longer valid and am having to resync every start up. My radio stations aren’t saving either. Am I missing something? Just curious before I fool around with the dealer.
Is the Chevy with the premium 2 option kit. I"m under the impression that they are equivalent minus the Chevy does not come with massage seats.
Would love to know what kind of towing and non-towing mileage the 6.6L High Country gets.
Non towing it’s 24 mph on the highway and 19 in the city best fuel economy out of the 4 big ram ford gmc Chevy is into something
@@OutbackExotics 🫡 thanks!
How do you like working the infotainment controls around the transmission shifter, while in drive?
You went over the gmc headlights but not the chevy. Are the projectors to or reflectors?
Both GMC and Chevy now have projector style headlights. However GMC does one-up Chevy by including projector style foglights as well. Chevy still uses reflector style foglights.
Are those AUX switches OEM on the Chevy or did you add them? If added do you have a link
Please start turning on the headlights, running lights and signals.
I might trade in my gas Chevy 2500 HD LT for a 3500 gas. I don't need finger vibrator or options that are forced down to me that I only use it once/twice or never use it at all. Did you do a thorough review on a new 3500 HD WT/LT trim gas?
Do they have the same shocks?

Idkkkk ab that one dude. My Duramax wasn’t really getting the best MPG 😅 but maybe she wasn’t broken in yet bc it’s been getting better at 55k
While yes that’s true if your doing city driving like he said your not really putting that diesel to work and they need to be worked so you might have slightly more issues not towing and driving it like a 1500
If im paying that much more for the GMC I would like a rear entertainment for my kids. Like the Denali Tahoe has, just saying
There's a $10,000 difference between Diesel and gas.
I’ll take the Chevy JUST for the center console. (Trailer brake relocation)
Ya but thats comparing two different categories. One is a diesel and one is a gasser. Thats why it's more expensive
This is my favorite truck ir gives luxury and truck capability
You could swap the exterior of these trucks and name the extract same claims. I don't feel one is any more premium than the other.
I want the diesel cuz I love the mechanical noise it makes.
Idling is better with a gas engine…😂
Hardest thing on a diesel motor is idle hours......
Aside from the engine and tailgate, the GMC doesn’t add any necessary functionality, only cool luxury doodads.
Why is a gas engine better idling than a diesel motor?
I like the Chevrolet High Country better. Its more sophisticated. The GMC looks a bit too "ranchy" for me LOL
The gmc has a prettier front end. I prefer the at4 edition.
Chevrolet would be a better buy, imo, even if you opt for diesel.
GMC! All the way.
I like the Chevy it has a better look about it👍
Still waiting to zee those tunes become available over this smar computer b.s gm swapped to
98,000? not even if it gave me a reach around seat,😂
since 1994 gmc grill still looks better
Does gmc have massaging seats gmc
Only the ultimate I believe

That trailer brake placement on the GMC is awful
Depends which version you get.
انا اريد ان اشتري كيف يمكن التواصل معكم
Just like Ford & Lincoln, you have the rugged sporty sibling. Then, you got the smug wannabe high maintenance one. 😅
My opinion the high country is better
Yo
I stopped watching when the reviewer said gas is better for idling long hours Vs diesel.
Diesel way dam better than a gas motor lol this guy needs to actually learn about motors
How so?
