Let me know what you think of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate!

[@ianmurphy7613]

If a truck on the lot has the tech package and tow mirrors, can the smaller mirrors such as what this truck has be switched out?

[@BrianMello]

@@ianmurphy7613 I'm not sure if its technically possible, I know at our dealership we would just find you the truck or order it the way you want it. Its usually just not cost effective to make changes like that for either party.

[@ianmurphy7613]

@@BrianMello I ask because we just got a loaded slt 2021 with Tech package, on the cape.

[@BrianMello]

@@ianmurphy7613 Did you already buy the truck and are trying to have the mirrors swapped?

[@ianmurphy7613]

@@BrianMello My friend did, he wanted the tech package but on the SLT the mirrors are the big ones, the tech package on the Denali has smaller mirrors. i know its not ideal to switch em out, just wondering if technically possible.

I bought this exact truck with the 3.0 Diesel. It is fabulous! I came from a '16 F150 Lariat so I am not so in tune to the fact that the interior is dated like some say. I think it's great. Love everything about the truck.

[@UneasyBBJ]

I got to drive this model earlier for my job. Loved it.

[@bobbyjames7352]

I have this truck and it is loaded. All the bells and whistles, but I agree it's time for an updated softer interior and bigger touch screen. This thing has more cameras than a Nikon shop! My 13 year old is happy with rear air and seat heaters my 2016 Denali 1500 did not have. All in all it rides like a dream and the 10 speed trans is pretty smooth. We'll keep it for about 80K and see what GMC does with the Denali by then!

I like the truck but the dashboard looks a little cheap. It doesn’t have the chrome layout like the older models and I liked it that way. The radio is kinda small. I mean the Dodge Ram has like an iPad in there. This is a truck after all and we need it to be more truck-ish in some areas. At least for me I like the all out look. I like the rear view mirror that’s a nice touch. I like the side and front cameras. Everything is nice about it it’s just that dashboard and radio that I don’t like and driving I’m going to be looking at those things the most. I’m not looking at the sunroof I’m not looking at most of the stuff while driving. When I’m not driving I would like to enjoy the other features. But for that amount of time I wouldn’t look at anything else. So you can see why it gets to me the most. I do like the windshield display it’s nice.

[@rproh3812]

This truck needs better clearance. Plus that grab bar is silly. How about inserting something loose to stick in one of the open cavities at end of the bed. Attaching a bar only gets in the way. Only time it would come in handy is if there was a bed topper.

Amazing truck but the rear bench seat is highly lacking. It looks so cheap floating there and there’s no storage space underneath it. I have the sweetest custom subwoofer box with two 12’s under my rear bench in my Dodge Ram. Plenty of space for it. If GMC would fix that rear seat I would buy one in a heartbeat. I want that 6.2!!!!!

[@c.i.a6323]

Denali use to run the luxury back in the day in my opinion right now Ram and Fords interior soo much better, and don't get me wrong trucks are made to work but when you just want to spoil yourself with something for around 68k you'd expect more from Denali

[@mikeryan5088]

I am very underwhelmed with this truck. Being a GMC Denali package, it’s nowhere near as luxurious as my 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn. I definitely like the front end design and look of the Sierra, but that’s it. The tailgate isn’t as big a deal as GM believes it is and seriously needs to do something with the bland with no frills dash display and instrumentation. It’s why I dropped that vehicle off my list when I chose the Longhorn over the F-150 King Ranch Ford when I was getting ready to buy new.

[@cordellroberson532]

@@BrianMello Denali is no longer magneride. it has adaptive ride control which electronically controls up to 10% of shock dampening via a valve. basically an internal bypass, the remaining 90% behaves like a standard twin tube shock. magneride is theoretically infinite control of the whole shock. biggest downgrade on these new trucks. thankfully kept real magneride on the new SUV's. hopefully they bring it back for 2022 update.

[@BrianMello]

@@cordellroberson532 100% correct, I'm just so used to saying magnetic ride control that it's become muscle memory at this point. I read originally that there was a trademarking issue, but you can still get it in the Yukon so that can't be the case. I can only assume it was cost related. Ferrari sure as hell wouldn't be using it in their cars if there wasn't an advantage imo
