I like this interior better than the Ultimate Denali to be honest. The black interior goes well with the car. The only thing that I hate about both models is the paywall on the Super Cruise system. It is like buying a mobile phone and being able to use the camera only if you have a subscription. this is ridiculous...
I think of it as almost paying for a streaming service. It gives you access to all of the roads and highways already mapped out like the movies and shows that have already came out. Then the new mapping and roads are like movies coming out soon. I don’t necessarily agree with it I just see where they are coming from.
Yup we don’t need more subscriptions in our lives acting as leeches taking our hard earned money on a monthly/annual basis. I bought the car, that should be it. Stop nickel and diming the consumer
I am also trying to decide between this AT4 Ultimate and the Grand Wagoneer. I like the Grand Wagoneer (especially the way they approach the interior) although the rear cargo door styling of the Grand Wagoneer bothers me. I don't like the sluggish and buggy Google Android operating system which GM uses for their center console display. They each have their pros and cons.
This AT4 Ultimate is so bad-ass! This will be my next SUV but on the GMC website you can configure this vehicle with performance air intake, performance exhaust and red Brembo brakes which I'll be getting. Thanks for the review! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Joe, I'm glad you got a chance to talk to the General Motors Truck Company people about positioning the running boards so that we can get some kind of a feel for the dynamics of what's going on here. Great job today bringing us these vehicles in their secret location.
Can you get the AT4 Ultimate trim with a 2nd-row bench seat? I don't get why they force captains chairs on certain trims. Shouldn't they offer both as different people have different needs on how many seats they need.
Is there a comparison somewhere of what is missing from the GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate vs. the Denali Ultimate trim level? I would like to max out the trim level, but I like the extra off road capabilities.
I wanted this specific version of Yukon to come out! I'M SO HAPPY IT DID 🤩. Although, I thought it was gonna be called AT4X, instead of AT4 Ultimate 😂. But makes sense.
Looks awesome except for that two layer dashboard, option to the Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade (hopefully slightly cheaper price also) as it doesn't have as much bling as those others.
I might buy one, because I frequently go on long distance drives for ski trips. Sometimes I like to explore dirt roads along the way. I like being able to continue on the journey during heavy snow storms, when it is hard to see road boundaries. I like the extra protection for road debris on these long drives.
Just a suggestion, maybe when pricing isn’t available yet you could include the previous years msrp for a similar package.. just so we have a general ballpark or can make a guesstimate lol please!
The rear seat entertainment in the Denali ultimate is what kept me from purchasing one. Only blue tooth capable. No IR or direct plug-in available. I see they haven’t changed it. Also, numerous reviews about GM RSE states it’s a “nightmare”. Wish the Yukon AT4 ultimate had an option for no RSE. Love everything else about it. Cannot purchase with the terrible comments online.
I love everything except the gloss black on the front. Looks way out of place to me. I hope they have an option to change that because I love the AT4 in dark grey.
Raiti, you missed the most important part of the Yukon review.... Did GM get rid of the push button shifter, or did they revert back to a column shifter? ...I have a 22' Redwood Metallic Yukon AT4, and I love mine. I lifted it and put 24x14 wide wheels on it, but I love the aggressive offroad look.
@@w4rmgun Nope... I've been spoiled with the push button shifter. It gives me peace of mind from worrying about any mechanical malfunctioning with a column shifter. Plus the button shifter is great for lefties who like to keep their hand on the wheel.
The Grand Wagoneer stinks as a Grand Wagoneer. It's OK as a stereotypical SUV, but pretty lame otherwise. The GMC Yukon looks great though. It's a great move in design. Thanks for the fantastic review Joe!
It would be awesome if you guys could start adding some text (bullets) in the video when talking about specifications. At the very least, in the description. Key figures like Engine Displacement, Drive train, Transmission, HP/Torque, Fuel Efficiency, Price, etc. You guys seem like you're running a 2-4 person operation, but a little video editing and production would go a long way in enhancing the videos. Anyways, just a friendly suggestion. Cheers!
na, that would cramp Joe's "free flowing style," that's been working! Keep it the way is JR, "it ant broke dont fix it." Appreciate your far & wide travel's to bring us the goods!
I’m 15 and can’t afford this Lol. But I’m only watching it cuz rati. Can’t wait for the 2025 Lincoln navigator video tho. I really like fords. I’m probably going to get a civic as my first car. Getting my permit rn so yeah. Thanks Mr rati
Well *( way over my budget) : always found “” GMC VEHICLES “” a better Vehicle Pack: & , did buy my 2007 CANYON SL/ Loaded new(* actually my first/ only Traditional Truck !)….oddly great.
I do not have confidence in cars that have all the DIFFERENCE lock and 4H, 4L buttons via the touch screen, what if screen Broken or broken during off-road driving and high vibration on desert roads
This is cool and all but all I'm seeing is a vehicle with minimal offroad features packed with a bunch of over priced plastics to make it a 90-100k SUV.....that still has the same DoD engine problems as the previous gens
Your Question: GMC Yukon better than Jeep Grand Wagoneer? Or even Cadillac Escalade? It's "almost" same. We can't tell which One Is better. Because they are rival. It's Like BMW 7 Series And Mercedes-Benz S Class. And objective. People's perspective Is different. And Entertainment touchscreen GMC Yukon 2024 as wide as iPad. Entertainment touchscreen GMC Yukon 2030 as wide as TV 50 inches.
GMC should be proud. They're doing a good job with their trucks.
I am os glad that you are digging this one.

@@RaitisRides this or new nissan armada;
Your videos are literally the best out there. Thank you!
This is an awesome SUV and I would certainly choose it over the Wagoneer.
I am also trying to decide between this AT4 Ultimate and the Grand Wagoneer. I like the Grand Wagoneer (especially the way they approach the interior) although the rear cargo door styling of the Grand Wagoneer bothers me. I don't like the sluggish and buggy Google Android operating system which GM uses for their center console display. They each have their pros and cons.
Best SUV in the segment
I totally agree with for you!
From the infotainment systems, the seats, these new cars are like mobile luxury apartment!
You are so very right about that one,. Rick!
It might be what people are going to be living at the rate rent is now a days 😂
@@kennethsmith6899 ,,,Yea, people in NYC and still save a penny!
Facts
Awesome vehicle. Nice to see GMC knocking it out of the park. Thank you for your videos Joe.
love that color, I would pick this over the Denali Ultimate any day.
To be fairness, the GMC Yukon refresh for 2025 is amazing to look at for.🙌🏻💯 Like this Joe:).
This is so nice!! I love the Yukon AT4 a lot.
Always loved your reviews 🔥 keep up the great work
Thank you my friuend for being so supportive!
This is definitely the one I'd go with if I decided to buy a Yukon
This AT4 Ultimate is so bad-ass! This will be my next SUV but on the GMC website you can configure this vehicle with performance air intake, performance exhaust and red Brembo brakes which I'll be getting. Thanks for the review! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Personal opinion…This main screen is straight out of Fords playbook. I love that panorama screen across the dash like the Tahoe and Escalade.
ford was just glued to the dash and way up on the dashboard.
Except as usual GM did it alot better. Im yet to be impressed by a Ford interior tbh...one of their biggest weaknesses
GM just can’t let go of the shiny plastics, they should have used the open pore wood on the center console. I’m glad the diesel is now available
My dad will definitely get this car
Your dad has great taste!
Joe, I'm glad you got a chance to talk to the General Motors Truck Company people about positioning the running boards so that we can get some kind of a feel for the dynamics of what's going on here. Great job today bringing us these vehicles in their secret location.
That is so awesome of you to say! I am so glad that I got the access to bring it to you!
love the vids..... question.,.. did you see any RGB ambient lighting in this thing? My 2023 Denali does not... cant find the info!!! Thanks!
How comfortable are the front seats? How do they compare to the denali?
Can you get the AT4 Ultimate trim with a 2nd-row bench seat? I don't get why they force captains chairs on certain trims. Shouldn't they offer both as different people have different needs on how many seats they need.
Totally agree, the second row bench should 100% be an option on all trim levels!
You could get a 4x4 SLT trim and put your own lift kit and wheels on it and get your bench seat and not have to deal with the air ride suspension
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Thank brother man!
Is there a comparison somewhere of what is missing from the GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate vs. the Denali Ultimate trim level? I would like to max out the trim level, but I like the extra off road capabilities.
Same! That would be great!
Love your reviews, sir. Amazing job again. God bless.
The edges of the seat controls are silver trim, and I feel that this small detail really giving this car more luxurious.
Yes, Denali ultimate at4 but with a bench seat for the second row I hope they make it. I will buy it
Viva GMC!
Yes sir Luis!
@@RaitisRides Thanks
I wanted this specific version of Yukon to come out! I'M SO HAPPY IT DID 🤩. Although, I thought it was gonna be called AT4X, instead of AT4 Ultimate 😂. But makes sense.
Will this trim be on the Yukon XL as well?
But did they fix the lifter problems in the engine?🤨🤔
Looks awesome except for that two layer dashboard, option to the Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade (hopefully slightly cheaper price also) as it doesn't have as much bling as those others.
Does anyone know when GM is releasing the build date and pricing for the new Yukon refresh? I heard Oct 1st, 2024 but I'm not sure...
I ordered mine about an hour ago…
Does it come with Auto-Hold brake ?
Lets go Joe! Wasnt expecting another GMC Yukon drop.
I like to bring the surprises Anthony!
Which 2025 interior was more comfortable to sit in: the Tahoe, Yukon, or Escalade for 2025?
Do you know what is the estimated MPG for this SUV? Thanks
Gmc trucks are underrated
Did they have the base model here? This is absolutely gorgeous but the base one is probably pretty snazzy too for a little lower price lol
Joe do you have a review of the traverse z71 ? Or did I miss that one ….
I still don’t understand GM not wanting to add a head restraint to the middle seats in these full size suvs.
Great looking truck. I doubt many would be taken off road.
Only to the mall parking lot!
I might buy one, because I frequently go on long distance drives for ski trips. Sometimes I like to explore dirt roads along the way. I like being able to continue on the journey during heavy snow storms, when it is hard to see road boundaries. I like the extra protection for road debris on these long drives.
This suv have rear locker diferencial?
Just a suggestion, maybe when pricing isn’t available yet you could include the previous years msrp for a similar package.. just so we have a general ballpark or can make a guesstimate lol please!
@@Limatola11 I’d guess 73k for a 25’ base AT4, all the way up to 85-88k decked home run like this.
Z71 / Z66
Better name than AT4
GMC All Day 🙌🇺🇸
Love the recommendation of kids reading a book. Great review.
Chevy Off-road version is cheaper would be cool if Cadillac escalade had a Off-road version v series is the best.
Thanks Lori. Thanks Joe.

Im liking the new at4 ultimate. Love ur videos
I will probably go for the AT4 with an LZ0 as I don't need, or want the rear seat entertainment or Super Cruise.
It looks so good !!!
Great video. I wonder if this is the AT4 or the AT4 ultimate, he needs to mention it in the video.
Is the everyday drive comfort better on the Denali ultimate?
I am going to say yes. Stay tuned for the first drive happening soon.
Shout out Lori, for filming the AT4 Ultimate.
Is this the ultimate Bronco killer? RIP Ford Bronco.
Not to sure about that!
Can. I. Have. An. All- black. Interior. ? Width. Must be. 82.4 inches. Without. Side mirror. Can. I. Increase. My. Ground clearance. To. 6. Inches?
Plus. Red. Exterior 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love everything except the gloss black on the front. Looks way out of place to me. I hope they have an option to change that because I love the AT4 in dark grey.
That is a very good point!
It looks really nice so far
GMC did a fantastic Job!

You can see around 11:40 they went back to a column shifter thankfully

0:51 you mean SLE and SLT
Good call man!
Love your car video
You are the best!
@@RaitisRides Welcome
The Grand Wagoneer stinks as a Grand Wagoneer. It's OK as a stereotypical SUV, but pretty lame otherwise. The GMC Yukon looks great though. It's a great move in design. Thanks for the fantastic review Joe!
The Twinkie and Ham Sandwich had be rolling lol😂
Thanks Ric for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!
When you say more efficient does that mean better gas mileage? I'm referring to the diesel 3.0
Yes that is exactly spot on.
@@RaitisRides hooray!
Now that the new models are out I might finally be able to afford the previous model 😢
ooh man, you're so good for the job.
Just ...wow👍👍👍👍👍👍
awesome 0 just awesome - tires should be 295
Let’s see what it’s all about!
I think you might be imopressed!
It would be awesome if you guys could start adding some text (bullets) in the video when talking about specifications. At the very least, in the description.

I would get a ranger but they’re pretty expensive.
It is a beauty.
I am so glad that you are liking this one Omar.
Love the vehicle, but not going to lie, that info screen is way to *intrusive* . Talk about an eye magnet.
I like it……love the wheels ! Did Oscar make the trip or is he home eating all the Twinkie’s ? 🤣🐕
Oh trust me he was at home and definitely ate all of the twinkies!
When are cars going to have a built in Twinkie maker
Well *( way over my budget) : always found “” GMC VEHICLES “” a better Vehicle Pack: & , did buy my 2007 CANYON SL/ Loaded new(* actually my first/ only Traditional Truck !)….oddly great.
Your Watch?
It is a Casio G-Shock Michal!
@@RaitisRides thx!
It's about time they upgraded the brakes on these giant suvs
The Jeep Grand Cherokee makes you feel like you're in the battlefield.😂😂😂
You are hilarious!
That thing is nice.
I am so glad that you approve Nicholas.
Not a fan of piano black or auto deployable running boards. Since it’s an AT4 I hope it comes with e-lockers.
I know how you feel! Gloss black is not =my thing wither.
💥FIYYYAAAAAHHHHH❗️
I am so glad that you are digging this one Arthur!
Missed opportunity for an integrated panini press on top of the dash ....
I like the way that you think!
Goals
Oh heck yeah!
The Denali looks better in my opinion
That is the one that I would go with,.
It compares with the Ford Expedition Timberline
Eventually new steering wheel. No to big screen display.
didnt show the cargo
Fantastica ❤
Niceeee
I am so glad that you approve Anthony!
Is it 4WD ?!
Of course it is!
so GM is reducing the lower priced models?
I do not have confidence in cars that have all the DIFFERENCE lock and 4H, 4L buttons via the touch screen, what if screen Broken or broken during off-road driving and high vibration on desert roads
Difference? Give it up
This is cool and all but all I'm seeing is a vehicle with minimal offroad features packed with a bunch of over priced plastics to make it a 90-100k SUV.....that still has the same DoD engine problems as the previous gens
Nice ❤❤❤
I might be dreaming too hard but I would love to see the AT4 ultimate on the Acadia for 2025

And Entertainment touchscreen GMC Yukon 2024 as wide as iPad. Entertainment touchscreen GMC Yukon 2030 as wide as TV 50 inches.
The reason why I hate Rams are the giant multimedia screens… Now GMC is putting them in. Not a fan and it looks wonky. Pass.
I hate them too. Although I'm afraid we are stuck with them if we want to buy a new car, unfortunately.
I'm sure it gets 5 miles a gallon.... lol.. price starts at 65k - 105k.
When I win the lottery
One Escalade and one AT4 Ultimate.
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
If you care about a price increase year over year, you def can't afford it. Get used to it
