2013 GMC Sierra Denali Snowy & Muddy Off-Road Review

[@TFLcar]

Thanks for the kind words about our reviews and thanks for watching!

[@DanielDaniel1]

Bought my dream truck, this model, in June, used and I've been in love ever since. Is it the AC seats, the 6.2, the heated steering wheel, the towing, the awd confidence? I love this truck

[@rugbyguitargod]

I just did the same this weekend, except a 2010 Denali.

[@xldeadsniperlx3219]

@@rugbyguitargodhey same I love it so far best truck I’ve ever owned

[@CEDPME1]

I really enjoy your reviews. You two guys keep it real and do actual real world testing! What?! Something you don't see done with other car and truck reviewers. Great job and keep up the good work. Oh, one final note, I did see Nathan drive with his thumbs up.

[@vinuv16]

u both guys r looking innocent..i like u people..May God Bless..I wish i be the first one to watch all ur videos uploaded..

[@DJR5280]

great video ,it's nice having car reviewers here in Colorado.

[@xXMilanestaXx]

i have an awd denali in saudi arabia , with a locking differential, it works very well in climbing a sand hills without any problems and with the 6.2 L , there are no truck can pass me !

[@4244john]

This is more of a luxury type of truck, it isn't intended for off-road purposes AT ALL, that is why it's awd. think of this truck more as a cadillac. other than that it's a pretty smooth truck, great control and sounds amazing ;)

[@MrLadiesman611]

I LOVE u guy's u give honest unbiased reviews just LOVE ur reviews!!!!!

[@destroyedlegacy]

That looks and definitely sounds like Harris Park! My 07.5 Silverado is a blast to play with back there!

[@Jeffo168]

Good Review, I bet this truck would do better with some more aggressive tread, looks like it has performance street tread tires on it. The Subaru Forester has an AWD system that drives all four wheels at the same time with pretty equal power so their are many different types of systems.

[@tmwall25]

front chin spoiler comes off before the side runningboards; as we can see; as you guys dmged it in the video

[@rangerover06sc]

Also watching the video more, the reason the rear wheels slip then power is send to the front is that the open center differential combined with rear torque bias and front heaviness cause the torque to be down the path of least resistance to the rear and is then corrected by the brake based traction control system. That open center differential is probably why that one corner was so much easier then in the ram too.

[@1995amw]

I have a 95 GMC Sierra, its an amazing offroad and snow beast

[@NathanDAdlen]

You're right. I should have said: "there is no lever or button to engage the transfer case." It's still fully autonomous. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@vinuv16]

I'm a subscibed viewer of ur channel...gr8 videos...gr8 vehicles..gr8 trails and locations..and gr8 presentations..

[@Velo1010]

I really enjoy your shows. Yall's professionalism sets you apart from other KZbin videos. And the hosting meets high standards. Keep up the good work, both of you.

[@gmcdenali7178]

I agree with you

[@adamcrouch]

Love the videos you guys make! I like the shotgun sounds at the end of this video!

[@mictdave1]

My 2006 sierra with auto 4wheel drive does the same thing. The front tires take a second to engage when the back tires start to spin

[@jackdaniels7913]

Cooed tell your not Chevy/GMC guys 😅 but you did good and gave an honest opinyen thank you.

[@joselito1186]

talking about truck, i would love to see a great video of the older chevrolet silverado ss and do a 0-60 video and how and old truck like those still perform after many years of use please. it would be greatly apreciated

[@Canakar360]

I like your off road videos

[@boostseason]

awesome videos, always look forward to them! one question, what kind of camera was mounted on the passenger door when you guys drove through the mud puddles?

[@rangerover06sc]

Actually it's not an automatic AWD system like you get a lot of other GM trucks and suvs. It's a full time system with a default 40/60 torque split, just like the Escalade. And it does have a transfer case it's just a 1 speed rather than a 2 speed low range transfer case.

[@Mathicuss]

I love this truck and cant wait to see the new one come out i love GM

[@PauliR1159]

the awd in the denali sends a 60 / 40 split of power to the wheels all the time...

[@G55STEYR]

I'm curious, when GM or Mercedes gives you a 4x4 car to test, what info about the system they provide?

[@Bert_III]

What were y'all saying about gm coming out with a pre runner??? That would be sick af!!!

[@2222dom]

Does it come with low range? that chevy v8 sounds even better than the hemi in my opinion

[@NathanDAdlen]

It depends on the automaker and the emphasis they wish to illustrate on various systems. We got no information on the GMC, which has to do with its eminent replacement. Other times, either at press events or press material that comes with the vehicle, they can give us detailed information on every nut and bolt. It all depends.... Thanks for watching!

[@pcFOREVER89100]

My dad wouldn't dare take his Denali off road!

[@gohst9015]

love the shirt nathan!

[@Alexw3460]

can you guys test the ford F150 some time soon

[@NathanDAdlen]

It depends on the vehicle, weight and power. Also, it depends on the type of AWD system. Usually, off the line an AWD vehicle is quicker than a FWD.

[@free2mod]

what is the difference between 4wd and awd

[@ghe229]

Does the Denali have a low-range transfer case for the AWD?

[@59summerset]

Knocked the front air-dam off?

[@Pro1bmxer1]

This truck is amazing I wan't one !!

[@boskey10]

Heres the deal with a Denali. Its powerful, luxury and has style. This off roading means nothing. Who goes off roading with 20inch rims and touring tires?. I own a 08 Denali and its a great truck for anything. Most guys who by lifted 4x4 trucks, are mostly driving in the city anyways and the highways. No bush roads. I'll take a used GMC over a brand new Ford or Dodge anyday, why? because it has best resale value of any truck.

[@MacDaddyC7Z06]

I own a 2008 Denali as well and like hell I would go off road with my rims "same as video"

[@gmcdenali7178]

I also got an 08 Denali and that thing won't see off road in its life.

[@Chinunit22]

6 years later they have equal resale value in its class

[@leadnsteel]

This is what I mean. I know the Tacoma and Frontier are smaller, but Ford GM and Chrysler discontinued their small trucks( Ranger, Dakota, Colorado) in favor of full size.

[@KTMcaptain]

they did build something with the attributes of a raptor and power wagon. zr2 f&r lockers, longer travel position sensitive shocks

[@NathanDAdlen]

Nope. No transfer case, no buttons, no levers. It's totally automatic. Thanks for watching!

[@ShyaMiss]

Old comment, I know... However, it absolutely does have a transfer case. That is what is bolted to the rear half of the transmission and sends power to the front axle via the short driveline that is directly beneath the driver...

[@Buzztech76]

My 8 year old SUV has an Auto 4X4 option that works basically the same way as the AWD system in this truck, plus I still have the 2 wheel, 4 low and 4 high, why GMC would change from that is beyond me!

[@theoscarin86]

I want to take my jeep there can you tell me where is the trail please?

[@rtube275]

Does AWD slower than FWD in acceleration?

[@MrMarlon123456]

do the frontier and tacoma on the ike gauntlet towing mashup

[@G55STEYR]

So there are 2 types of AWD: with center diff, or with a clutch which engages the axle that is not permanently driven: rear for ex Toyota rav4, and most crossovers, and front axle in this GMC or a 540xi The difference is the number of output shafts: Clutch 1input - 1output Diff 1input - 2outputs The clutch wears out because it must take all the torque to that axle, but the diff has a mechanical lock or a multiplate clutch for locking but that takes only the difference of tq betewwn axles

[@angelgarcia6423]

hey i have a ? what is the difference between a whl drive and 4x4

[@MrJason880]

Nice job. And truck

[@NathanDAdlen]

Nope - it was already like that. I did scrape the rear bumper, but it's not damaged.

[@camaroman101]

the new colorado/canyon is on the horizon

[@DaFonz29]

I just bought my denali... and it crawls out of things no problems but as they say "one and done" I'll never do it again

[@halflife103]

These are probably the worst automotive journalists on all of youtube. Naah i keed. Keep up the reviews, with all the other channels it's nice to have multiple opinions and you guys do offroad reviews :3

[@khk0555333861]

صراحه الدينالي قوي فوق ما احد يتخيل معي واحد يوكن دينالي 2008 ماشاء الله تبارك الله قمه في المتعه والقوه بس ياليت الدقن الي تحت الصدام اﻻمامي يكون منفصل عن الصدام ويكون مرن اكثر حتى لو صار يتركب مستقل عن الصدام

[@footincanuck]

What are you talking about? GM's small trucks (Colorado and Canyon) are alive and well, heck a diesel version of them is coming to North America next year.

[@indigocolossus]

that v8 does have a nice rumble to it.

[@Flash363]

I want to see a Ram with the 6.4 Hemi and 8 spd. auto!

[@Dankcatvacs]

test drive a dual range subaru up there

[@fordsixlitrelover7121]

Screw alcohol. I want the bubba kush!

[@hillzdmax]

Awd is great never have to stop put it in hi or lo awesome in snow and sand too my denali goes everywhere other stock trucks can go

[@sunhiengsok9323]

2013 GMC Sierra Denali Snowy & Muddy Off-Road Review

[@J-W.-]

what about toyota tundra too big?

[@TFLcar]

contour

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

RAM has Auto 4wd on their higher end trucks. The RAM Express is a pretty stripped down truck. It's nice for the money, but NOT close to the same class as the Denali. This statement is not directed towards TFL. They know this.

[@khanonwheels8470]

Who heard the gunshots at 6:40 🥱🥱

[@UltimateCARNUT]

The rumor of the gm raptor/power wagon has been going on since before those vehicles even came out. Still nothing.

[@camaroman101]

what about it?

[@Buzztech76]

I haven't torn off my running boards, but I have ripped off that plastic crap they put under the bumper!

[@noelebbert9322]

should have tested subaru forester!

[@NathanDAdlen]

Truth be told, someone else did that.

[@bmwmsport11]

For some reason I feel that the word AWD isn't as mean and durable sounding as 4WD...

[@vasabiais]

Живу в Сибири в России и это реально лучшая машина для нашей зимы и для наших суровых условий .

[@grahamrothphotography]

do a ford next ;)

[@woldwar11]

the only good awd is full time awd having a constant 60% rear 40% front or what ever %

[@venom5809]

I would buy a Raptor too.

[@dannyshmilov9662]

dude you hit the front bumper

[@chapyhappy]

nathan reminds me of jack black

[@ja7i3r]

that Ram has better looks and also more agresive GMC is just an overpriced truck its ok looking and has some nice chrome on it but to much crhome on it its not for me i had a 2011 lone star that had also alot of chrome on it and it was a nice truck but I trade it in and got me a 2012 Ram Express that I had for over 14 months and I love it same color of the Ram in this video I love Ram trucks Chevy and GMC make good looking trucks also! great video.

[@jerrycannonjr.7492]

Time for new intro

[@G55STEYR]

Oh come on, it has a transfer case but one speed. When cars have low range the TC is 2 speed. You must make the difference between AWD systems. That in the GMC is engaging FWD with a clutch, like the BMW X5, and some AWD Grand Cherokees, and also the GTR and Veyron. Good for roads, bad for offroad. If an AWD has a center diff then the power goes to all 4 wheel instantly, and most of them have a locker on that center diff, so then it's like a 4x4.

[@AvacadokenHonda19]

Theres always a Subaru comment on these off-road reviews

[@EdgarHernandez-cy3cz]

la gmc sierra denali es 4x4

[@juhthreef]

2013 and below was all wheel drive.

[@Bert_III]

You call that off roading? Y'all didn't even test the limits of ether truck lets see what they really can do in some deep mud not just muddy water

[@BigDuks]

American Top Gear is stupid, but I bet It'd be a lot better if these two were on it.

[@harshgsxr]

AWD if the back wheels start to slip power will be transferred to the front wheels, you will only have power going to either one back wheel or one front wheel at the best of times 4WD such as my 4x4 i can have power going to all 4 wheels at once if i want or power going to both back wheels or both back and one front ,AWD is not made to go off road 4WD's are

[@jacobdoman2823]

On the Sierra the ground clearance sucks... As u can see someone dipped in to low and almost took the plastic off!!!

[@parwani19]

Well Toyota Tacoma is smaller isnt it

[@blakeazimmerman]

Lol a lot of people shoot out in the woods, including me.

[@Velorin-Music]

1:47 you guys snapped the bottom part of the bottom ahahah. Dont go off roading in a luxury vehicle

[@themechanic345]

Trucks are for work. Anything that isn't for work is just a big car

[@ChristopherWalkenActor]

What? You have no guns Roman !? You haven't been taking Doomsday Preppers seriously =)

[@AdamRezz]

there's a gun range that they pass on their way up.

[@prototypeglory]

6:40 shots fired

[@TheWanskiz]

I would never take me sierra denali off road, maybe because its lowered on 26's

[@jerrycannonjr.7492]

Awd no good. You have to get stuck first....then the awd system kicks in.

[@jeffreysmall8902]

Try compair apple too apples

[@CanadianKawasaki]

its kinda stupid because the gmc denali is a street truck with street suspension its not ment for off road

[@hottdylan1993]

Gotta admit its a great looking truck but who the hell wants awd on a truck? They need to revise that. Awd should only be limited to cars and crossovers lmao.

[@firekilller13]

I hear a gun shoot @ 6:55

[@themechanic345]

Trucks should never be AWD! AWD is meant for speed, not hauling!

[@krystalb6]

This new 6.2 litre chevy is going to destroy ford and dodge just like the older one did except this one even better
