Chrome
The denali thing has always been chrome
But millennials don’t like chrome, so they’ve given us dark chrome
But not everywhere
Dark chrome on grille and GMC badges
Dark chrome on rear GMC badge
All the rest of it is normal chrome
Front recovery hooks
Wing mirror caps
Door handles and window treatments
Door badges
All the other tailgate badging
Isn’t there a rule about mixing chromes?
HD embossed grille
On driver side but not passenger
Surprised it doesn’t say HDNA
Hood
Very cadillac looking scoop blade
It’s actually functional tho
Headlights
New running light design, looks pretty cool
Says GMC in the housing - not uncommon
Arrows helping install is uncommon
2500 markers
It says HD in a lot of places here
But it’s technically the 2500 so you get that here
al so dark chrome
Marker lights
On roof
Offset fin - classic GM
Still have floppy antenna too
But also on sides of the wheel arches

Kinda like the tundra trd pro
Paint
This is one of my favorite things
Redwood metallic BANGS
Been wanting to make a downtown brown joke
Pairs exquisitely with interior “Alpine Umber”
Fender badge
Topographical map underlay
Denali supple peak coordinates
Ultimate trim designation - very maserati of them
Also shoutout to the Allison trans….?
I don’t pretend to be a manly man…care?
Door handles
Only keyless on front doors
Just like the windows are only auto up/down in front
Power running boards
Nice, but dont come out quite far enough
Bed steps
In front of bed next to cab
Apparently Ford did this with the new 250
People are NOT happy about it…in either camp
Classic GM bumper steps
Multipro tailgate
Origami

Double glove box
Upper one gets stuck

Engine
6.6L Turbodiesel V8

And you feel the turbo
Price
95k as tested…lord
The ram was about 90k tho too
And the ram was sh*t compared to this - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The 10 speed transmission is a game changer .
Absolutely LOVE this truck! Still have my G-father ‘63 3/4t 4x4 stepside. This is the modern version - beautiful!!
the shark fin is onstar and data... the conventional antenna is for terrestrial radio.
It’s called Vader chrome
We have a 2024 3500 HD Denali Sierra. We just picked it up. Watched your video but did not hear about why there is no cigarette lighter in the truck? We don’t smoke but use it for other electronics like a radar detector. Do you know if they do have them and where it would be in the truck? We have looked and nope, can’t find it. 🤷♀️ Thanks
What a beast!
I feel like a regular chrome grill works better on a huge truck like this.
How come new 80k plus trucks don’t come with hood lights like the old school ones????
Thank you for mentioning your height. I'm 6'6" and in every video I have seen about these trucks, the presenters look so tiny in comparison. So it's good to know that my kids can fit behind me, and they would have plenty of leg room. Being a big guy, I've had to take my kids truck shopping and have them sit behind me to see if they could fit or not. Most trucks and SUVs I've checked out are comfortable for me as a driver, but suck for leg room in the back seat behind me.
Super Cruise is not offered in the GMC HD's, the new global B architecture needs additional memory to handle Super Cruise, supposedly they are working on it, my guess is it may not appear until the next update. The all windows down now works from your remote, reason there is no button. Double press and hold the unlock until the windows fully open ( remote window operation has to be enabled in your setup features ). The "shark fin" is for OnStar, xm satellite radio, and gps. The antenna is just for AM/FM radio.
But don't forget no rule on mixing dark crome with true crome. How many times does he say chrome?
Isn’t the global B architecture on the light duty trucks as well? If so, what in the HD would be enough of a memory hog to prevent the implementation of super cruise?
Who cares it’s 2200 for a thing that doesn’t work anyways on the 1500’s.. Tesla in a rainstorm or snow storm works fine. GM turns off any slight weather
What's the paint color?
The back windows are one touch down and there's a camera in the front grill
Great review of the design!
GM is starting to learn that bright chrome is lame, and that's a good thing.
💯
Bright chrome is the way to go that dark chrome sucks
OK, boomer. 🤣
@@haze1123 ok punk
Does it come with the supercruise
nope
It has an interesting color. I think it would look better with the wheel well flares were optioned with the color match.
It took me years to like the steps on the side and rear bumper but I’ve grown to love them.
i want one
it's a nice truck but seems confused as to what it wants ... you got bright chrome mixed with dark chrome mixed with unpainted plastic, clear markers ontop and amber on sides ... all this just looks like they smashed stuff together ... I like the idea but needs cleaning up to make it smooth and flowing ...
Damn! $100k truck and still has plastic fender trim. No paint match for that kind of money is crazy.
How’s the ride quality vs the 1500?
Worse, but not hellish
@@dwnshft appreciate that! Currently have a elevation trim and the ride is very smooth. Have you tested the denials do they ride smoother then all other trim levels?
@@scotted6763ultimate 1500s ride smooth,but you won’t feel a better ride than the Yukon Denali or Denali ultimate,these 2500s will always ride rougher,but not nearly as bad as the f250s and ram2500s since they have a solid front axle
@@lamborgatti-4783agree 100%
For 100k you think GMC would have put in a eye glass holder compartment. Also there is not a 4 pin flat trailer harness connection built in??? My Ford had it. Also the adaptive cruse is clumsy when changing lanes and maintaing speed. 😂
I bought 2 houses instead.
Allison transmission is a thing
You talk just like Doug DeMuro
You really should not be reviewing GM heavy duty products if you don’t even know anything about Allison
The ONLY thing ford has over GMC is their front seats are way more comfortable. My 2021 Denali 2500 HD seats are terrible.
If you use the truck for work or hauling constantly the solid front axle is better too. Owned superdutys all my life and keep hearing seats are pretty rough on gmcs. I was gonna buy one but kinda stuck between ford/gmc.
That transmission sucks on the 2024. Software updates on it is a mess. Clunky. I am dealer bound again with my Chevy 2500 HD LTZ (same spec truck) that had engine limp mode failures from when brand new. GM needs to do better.....Unions are the problem....Pissed! There is no American truck out there that represents American quality. It has all gone to hell.
Is it a GMC tranny or a Allison, got told there’s no issues with the Allison trans
Unions are definitely not the problem blame shitty engineering not the workers building these trucks to the specs they’re told to.
@@leonardogarza4577 All of it is the problem! Top to bottom.
I wish Porsche built a semi truck.
Like a VK100.01 with a cummins and a gooseneck hitch
The destruction of America....and its consumable goods. All brands. All things. We are under attack if you step back and look.
Peoplea really care that much about the Allison transmission
I think my limited ram looks like 10x better
DOUG
TTHHHIIIISSSSS
P
Bros trying so hard to be Doug
WOW - think you for pointing out the chrome and reminding the world to ignore millennials.
Why are millennials not supposed to like chrome?
Mixing chromes is such a turn off. They need to do better.
LOVE the Truck but the clown doing this presentation is a PUTZ should get something else to do.
Too many complaints on chrome why you even reviewing it.
Remind me what’s so “ultimate” about this in 2024? I’ve never been more underwhelmed with a $100,000 truck in my life.
You must like RAMS or Fords right?
DUDE TAKE 10 MIN TO CLEAN OFF THE GRILLE - IT STARTS THE VIDEO OFF TOTALLY WRONG!!
Looks cheap for 100k ..
Ford dudes need to chill . Fords used to have step sides as well as chevys in the 90s
Ford fairies are a different breed they will find all sorts of reasons to separate their trucks from others they will tell you their 6.7 power stroke is unstoppable before they tell the issues it has but will have no problem in telling you what's wrongs with a Cummins or a Duramax can't stand people who stand by a brand to the end especially when their recall numbers come in
What the hell is wrong with chrome. My check book can't rite a check for that black Bullshit ¡!!!!
I’ll take this truck over an s class
