2018 GMC Denali 2500HD Part 2 The Drive!

[@tobylynn75]

Best looking HD on the market.

[@ronfeinberg]

I own a white '17 Denali and absolutely love it. I've pulled a 10k trailer all over the Rockies with ease. Anyone considering a diesel HD purchase should give this serious consideration. Great video; I appreciate your impartiality!

[@CS-rb9jk]

What kind of fuel mileage do you get? Is it a 3/4 ton

[@kaseyschaffer7692]

This guy has the most accurate reviews on trucks on KZbin. Total honest reviews... even if it means negative points on the truck he owns. Excellent reviews sir.

[@jasonlichti5340]

been driving gmc for 15 yrs this yr went to the ford only for the mass amount of creature comforts .. push button start , double sunroof, heated rear seats, massage front seats, power extend mirrors, power running boards, the list goes on come on gmc step up the game on these features PLEASE i want to drive gmc again

[@gmrtg1414]

Great honest review. I like the fact you give every truck a unbiased review. Good job.

[@geraldpaul4505]

Been rocking dodge diesels for 13 yrs now ...just traded my 6.7 in on a 3500 Denali and no regret s ...between the power and the smooth ride there's no looking back 👌

[@gabeulrickson2496]

I figured you saying you drove it like a rental meant you drove the heck out of it, always good to know how they perform under heavy acceleration

[@pitviper97]

I love your honest reviews

[@daw764]

Who could possibly give a thumbs down. Lousy Trolls. This "Big Truck" is the best in the business at reviewing trucks and RVs. Keep up the great work Sir!!

[@roydavis2242]

My family was a GM family. My father and stepmom both retired from GM, but we am not all that loyal anymore. Having said that, the comfort of ride can be a deciding factor for us. That is because we often drive 8 hrs or more at a time. I am in my 60's and currently own a Toyota but, after driving a few hours, I ache. I'm not getting old and soft, I'm getting old a stiff.

[@maximilianogarcia8159]

I have a 17 Chevy 2500 LTZ and absolutely love it. Overall great truck. This review is pretty much on point.

[@thill2570]

I used to have a GMC 2500hd and its a really nice truck it was a regular cab and I just bought a new GMC Sierra 2500 regular cab a couple of days ago

[@sgj4aj]

Again, a very good informative video. I like your style a lot. Now here is something I would like you to consider for a future series, How about a work truck review. The basic stripped down versions of the full sized Ford Ram and GM lines. There are a lot of people out there who would find that information very useful. Since I am one who prefers the simpler things in life, that is what I will be looking for, a basic bare bones 3/4 ton 4x4. Many contractors are looking for the same things to add to their fleets.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

sgj4aj: I've done several for 2017 and will do more for 2018

[@bigmikesheeran]

The best thing about my Ram is the exhaust brake. Having that while pulling a trailer is the best.

[@TexasCountry95]

Michael Sheeran GM also has an exhaust brake switch. It’s one of the toggle switches just below the A/C controls.

[@bigmikesheeran]

I did not know GM had that. TIL.

[@merylloseke6363]

My 2016 F-350 also has a exhaust brake. Took a trip to Alaska this summer putting on 10700 miles pulling a 32 ft fifth​ wheel. Lots of mountain driving. Exhaust brake really preformer beautifully and hardly used the brakes. Wouldn't own another truck for towing without it.

[@Icutmetal]

Michael Sheeran You could say the same thing about any of the Big 3 diesels.

[@noefernandez6250]

I wish RAM and Ford trucks still have actuall keys.... they feel allot more trustworthy if you turn a key than push a little button

[@LukeEdward]

noe fernandez 2016 RAM here, and I still have an actual, metal key. Surprises the service department at the dealership(s), too.

[@luke8210]

I ordered my 2017 f250 lariat with a real key.

[@jook13]

noe fernandez My ram 2500 has a push button. I love it! Plus, I have a 7 year warranty, so if it goes bad they fix it.... I'll have a new truck before then

[@stevenchacker9654]

Comfort is what we will be looking for, especially my wife. I can do without the push button start. I hope that the turning radius on the DW and long bed is good too. I too would like to see the same camera set up as the F-350/F-450. Thanks again!

[@takayama1638]

I love my 2015 F150 Ecoboost Platinum. But you’ve got me wanting a 3/4 or even 1 ton truck now!

[@jpatt973]

Thanks for finishing up that great review I have a 2015 Chevrolet 2500 HD Duramax LTZ and I agree about the seats 100% I've been in the other two Ford and Dodge pickups I believe my seats are identical to the Denali and I find them very comfortable but GM definitely needs to put Power extending mirrors thanks again

[@kenbrown6095]

I still agree with what you would like to see: Rear Vents in the console. I would like to see factory 5th wheel hitch. and a larger cab.

[@juangonzalez3034]

I love my 2018 denali hd . Great review

[@truculent2086]

Great review. Fords have had absolutely miserable front seats for way too long.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I wouldn't come close to saying they are miserable. Just not as comfortable as the GMC Denali's. Kind of like comparing a BMW seat to a LEXUS seat. Both are great, but Lexus clearly wins in comfort.

[@natehawkins2910]

Fords seat is too long in the thigh/leg. The seat bottom cushion actually extends far enough to not let me be back to put my feet back enough to be comfortable when cruising. Their seats suck lol And their warping dashboards suck too.

[@jabojr5171]

You're right, really nice looking truck.

[@SimplexSM]

Fun fact. In the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, in Quebec, Canada, it gets so cold that the Magnetic ride system's shocks on GM's trucks explode.

[@constancecondit4349]

Simplex SM: the slides on Toyota Sienna vans stop sliding in your cold too.

[@rus19297]

Pretty sure those wouldn’t be the only things exploding from the cold. I have a few body parts you can add to the list. That’s just TOO cold for me, thanks.

[@Saufalagai]

Great cover man!!! Keep up the good work! Im a GM fan but i do like the new looks on the new F-Series. Especially the Dual moon roofs. Probably the best cover on these GM trucks!

[@alexruiz2498]

Great video, I hope GM will put an E-coated frame on their trucks

[@zachgrubb2233]

Gm has the better ride hands down! That being said my dad has a 2016 Chevy 3500 cab chassis with a Cm bed ,and I just bought a 2017 F350 cab chassis with a Norstar bed and the Chevy 3500 rides like just as good as his 1/2 ton High Country.

[@matthewtyler5194]

I would honestly much rather have key start than push button start in this truck

[@5xstronger]

Matthew Tyler I'm not a fan at all of push button start.

[@paulrodrigues9603]

Yeah until you have one vehicle with keyless start. Then you'll need it every time.

[@chadly1337]

Why do you say that? I would be fine going to push. My issue is the key is in the ignition and when I am offroad the whole thing flies around and rattles uncontrollably, so annoying.

[@natehawkins2910]

I like key start as well. If I wanted push button I'd buy a Prius

[@gerritfridericksohn4627]

I learned to drive on a 58 Jaguar that had push button start.

[@betta658]

Beautiful looking truck

[@jdh10475]

Those 2500 GMC's are growing on me good looking truck. Only one HUGE problem is they can't be tuned, delted, etc... Biggest mistake they mde now people are going to Ford and Dodge that want to delete.

[@jeffguimond9442]

Powerstroke 6.7 Ford and Ram are Ram are rumored to be implementing similar security in their ECU’s next year. Time will tell if it’s true.

[@steviegene4006]

Great video! Keep up the good work.

[@chevygmc3086]

What a beautiful truck

[@rs_pa]

Pushing on the gas pedal for the first 1/2" or so with no response is because the bracket the gas pedal is attached to, flexes and doesn't even move until you use up that flex. Very easy to make a fix for that.

[@zach4321]

Gorgeous truck. I am currently a Ford owner but the L5P and the GMC's might have won me over.

[@TheEagles427]

The GMC Denali has a nice look but I’m all in on my 2015 F250 Super Duty.

[@danjohnson2289]

gave my friend a link to your page, hes in the market for a truck, like your unbiased reviews

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

[@rickysafer2895]

I had a GMC 1500 Sierra and really enjoyed the truck, but the only reason I got me another truck, was no rear A/C vents in the truck. GM take note, people who live in Texas do not want to sit in the back seat during the summer months.

[@bigmountain7561]

[@leehancock2782]

[@k.r.v.4219]

[@cruzmascorro3943]

[@k.r.v.4219]

Cruz Mascorro yes my last truck was a 2011 Silverado 1500 Z71 4x4AWD, Ext Cab that was all black and I could hang meat it got so cold in there with the temp in the 90’s with humidity in the 90’s. Before that a 2005 Avalanche, all black and same thing!

[@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS]

watch part 1 ...lol

[@ziggy149]

@BigTruckBigRV - I keep hearing or reading every so often about the steering wheel being ever so slightly offset from the seating position or something like that. Did you notice this at all? Awesome 2 part review that covered a ton of my curiosities the powertrain. I'm much more interested in Silverado's Midnight Edition that seems to have similar seats and the comforts you spoke of, but is much more to my liking in appearance; as I have a cement gray TRD Pro currently (The brake controller is underpowered; as well as towing is super confidence inspiring at times with my 7x16 cargo trailer loaded down)

[@duramax78]

I’m surprised you said it’s the best looking truck and most comfortable.

[@TexasScout]

Chevy needs to do more with their cameras, the need AC ducts in the back, they need power extend on the mirrors. The sun roof is too small. Etc. etc. etc. CHEVY NEEDS A PICKUP THE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD! $80,000 for a truck is just INSANE.

[@k.r.v.4219]

TexasScout Noneofyourbusiness you can get a 4x4 Crew Cab Diesel Chevy for under 50k, with Blue tooth pw/pl. and tow package.

[@TexasCountry95]

TexasScout Noneofyourbusiness General Motors actually is just barely under $70,000 for their top of the line trim package. Denali(GMC) and High Country(CHEVROLET)

[@TexasScout]

garrett brown that’s still stupid expensive.

[@TexasScout]

K.C.'s RC Oh hell naw, EVERY maker has trucks that are ridiculously expensive. If you want all the geegaws and gadgets and you have the money, good for you. HOWEVER comma all that added stuff is pushing the price of ALL trucks up. The dealers order more of these “optioned up” trucks because their margins are so much larger. There are fewer “economical” trucks and they sell out first, leaving a lot full of “Cadillac” pick ups to choose from.

[@mechanicsteve2320]

I think when choosing a truck you must consider is this really going to be a work truck or my family vehicle. Is it mostly going to be used for getting groceries, hauling family and pulling a camper a couple of times a year? A lot to consider. As a mechanic my suggestion no matter which car manufactory If your planning to get a work truck get roll up windows and a key ignition. Get vinyl seats and a rubber mat floor. If you try to go the luxury route in ten years your going to have seats ripped all to pieces, carpet stained beyond belief, a damn keybob that longer works and more then likely at least one electric window that doesn't role up or down anymore. Almost forgot a push button start that may or may not work depending on the day of the week.

[@repairmaneman9366]

I have always been a GM guy! Would I buy a ford? Yes! Someone asked the other day what they should buy, a Silverado, or a tundra. It was disgusting how many Toyota fan boys there are out there. I was the only one out of 30 comments to say Silverado, even after all the facts and ratings people told me I was a idiot haha

[@lynnwilson1797]

[@BUILTDIESELMAFIA]

Great video. Nice truck. Just too many things I can't get passed to buy a gm truck. Def tank is God awful patheticly placed o. These. IFS is a no no for me on anything bigger than a half ton. The dash is just off to me idk don't like them. They do have a great quality materials and all that that a for sure. But for the reasons listed I'd stick to ford.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

BUILT DIESEL MAFIA: Many of the same reasons I chose Ford also

[@therealjohnsmith4811]

I love the front end! Looks really "classy." To me, the dash looks like it was designed by Playschool.

[@chrisgorgas1929]

BUILT DIESEL MAFIA I agree, give me a Dana 60 solid front axle any day of the week.

[@ericsanchez5638]

BUILT DIESEL MAFIA Has the best looking steering wheel out of all the big trucks though

[@calvinh.8882]

I really don't know what GM was thinking when they placed those DEF tanks.. I'd father it be behind or under the rear seat than hanging down to get ripped off on something.. Heck, they could have made it longer and thinner, so it would go up between the frame and side steps, without hanging down.. Or did like Dodge and Ford did their's..

[@ronaldv.2107]

Great video...Steady camera!....most people don't realize when they do a product review and have horrible camera work, it makes the product less attractive.

[@undeadlich1]

Do a face reveal for Halloween but when you do have a pumpkin on your head.

[@jesteiner]

I think there are some drawbacks for the consumer from the power wars. The amount of power that these trucks are producing is only a benefit for a small percentage of truck consumers yet the majority of consumers have to swallow the cost for power they don't need or buy a gas engine. I think most people buying a 3/4 ton truck would be fine the power levels of a few years ago if it meant a less expensive and more fuel efficient truck.

[@patriot8087]

Independent front suspension will have a tighter turning radius than a solid axel. with the same wheel base. the wheel cut itself is tighter.

[@wyoboatman]

I have a 2015 2500 and love it. I have driven a GMC since 1995 a Durmax since 2005 in total 9 separate pickups including a 3500 Dually, absolutely no complaints about them. That being said I purchased a Platinum 2017 450 to pull our toy hauler and other than being underwhelmed with the power I like it. I will be getting a 350 SRW Limited in a month and getting rid of my 2015 Denali. My biggest gripe about Ford is they do not offer the ability to start your vehicle from anywhere with your phone on the SD line. I have voiced my thoughts with no avail to anyone with two ears and a connection of any kind with Ford. If you could help in anyway getting this feature available from Ford from the factory I’d appreciate it. I’m aware and in the process of getting an aftermarket system with this capability.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

+Rob G: I was under the impression you could purchase a module to add that allows that

[@wyoboatman]

Big Truck Big RV Yes that's what I'm being told also. My new one is due In next month, until then I'm suffering along driving my 450. :)

Next time you try a U turn, get as close as you can to the far median nose. Then start the maneuver.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Bernie Stewart: I did during the first take. But after watching my maneuver in the Ford, I redid the shot to replicate it

[@joshuarodrique2096]

I know you don’t normally do reviews like this, but could you check out a Chevy Colorado Z71 or a GMC Canyon Denali (with the baby Duramax)? I’m looking to get a smaller truck because a 3/4 ton is just too big for me, but I really love the Duramax diesel engine in them. I know they could never compare when towing or hauling, but I think that they are plenty capable, especially since I don’t need a 3/4 ton that much. What are your thoughts?

[@Hunkbud]

does the back seat have more leg room than previous years? Or did it stay the same?

[@allaemmel7809]

Can this trucks' GPS route me around a 13' bridge with my 13'-6" 5th wheel?

[@KJAdventures]

Great review of the GMC 2500! I can confirm it is a quiet, comfortable 3/4 ton ride. Does the HP and Torque ratings of this diesel truck affect its payload ratings - all other things being equal? 👍 KJA

[@RobertKohut]

Nice! I think the SuperDuty is the best looking truck.

[@Icutmetal]

Ok.

[@bluebird5100]

All I can say is that my 6.0 powerstroke is much quieter and smoother with diesel clean. I use the white bottle in the winter and the silver bottle every now and then the rest of the year. There is definitely a difference when it is in there and it is not.

[@Icutmetal]

Ok...?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Big Truck Big RV oh ok, well buddy love your videos keep up the good work

[@blessedman3253]

i understand that lol thumbs up

[@tytomlinson7831]

I wonder how similar these seats are to the Chevy for comfort?

[@Mrgluck-ho6th]

It depends on the trim package. I own a 2017 Chevy 2500 HD LTZ W/Duramax and the interior is identical to the GMC SLT, with different badging being the only difference. I've' had multiple back surgeries so having adjustable buckets was a must have, the Chevy 2500 HD LT has a 40/60 split bench with a flip down armrest, identical to the GMC SLE. The Chevy High Country has an identical interior to the GMC Denali. I bought my Chevy new so I got the LTZ model, I just couldn't stomach paying an additional 12k for the GMC version, while the Chevy has the same everything except the grill, & front end. Although I think the GMC is a better looking truck.

Me personally I think the seat comfort in the new Super Dutys are better than the GMC or Chevy trucks and I've driven all 3 of them for long drives but that's me. But good video. 😀

[@LinusScrubTips]

Fordsuperduty76 depends on the person. I've sat in all 3 (not for long trips like you though) and I thought the GM was the best. Then Ford. Then Dodge. I really like the seats in my 99 Sierra. After 180,000 miles I can still drive for hours without getting uncomfortable.

[@ninersforlife7682]

LinusScrubTips True.That is why I said that's my personal opinion. My brother-in-law has a 17 Denali and before I bought my 17 Super Duty I drove his truck on a 6 hour drive and then drove mine a few months later after I got it on that same 6-hour Drive and to me my Super Duty seats felt more comfortable but I'm a bigger guy so I don't know if that has something to do with it. 😀

I have found Big Truck Big RV leans Ford but he does try to be as objective as possible towards all brands. To a degree, all truck reviews are subjective and you can't get around that. I think Big Truck Big RV does try to make it as objective as realistically possible though. I'm in the market for a new truck and I am taking his (and others) reviews into consideration in my purchasing decision.

[@joecool509]

You sound like I feel

[@glenbail635]

Four reasons I am sick of corporations like GM. Number one the taxpayer losses to bail you out. Number two the losses from government dumping your stocks creating another loss of 11 billion dollars to taxpayers is sickening. Number three the government giving you a 45 billion dollar tax credit so you pay little or no taxes while surviving on tax payer dollars its pathetic. Number four continuing to be subsidized with billions of taxpayers dollars years later it beyond belief . Congratulations your in the top five taxpayer subsidized companies in America list. Why not make a commercial telling everyone how you GM managed to get away with one of the largest taxpayer heists in America history?

[@clinthelling3560]

Give me a key any day over pushbutton start. Same for shifter verses push button shift. In an emergency like say a throttle sticking. Kiss your ass good by if you can't simply turn a key or shift it to neutral. Example an electrical issue. Ignition don't work to power down throw it in neutral. I was a mechanic most my life. Imagine turning off the engine if there's a problem or bumping the key.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

How do you turn on your radio?

[@johnkolbjr8375]

Big Truck Big RV it’s always on lol. I meant push button start

[@1JawsJr]

What is the deal with the push button start? Why is it something that everyone seems to thin it is the thing to have? Are people becoming that lazy that they cannot put a key in the ignition and turn it? Sorry but I am old school 1979 Chev custom deluxe guy here. That truck with the 4 speed and horrible brakes, you have to drive it, not just guide it down the road. The creature comforts are all cool and everything, but a landscaping crew or a concrete pumping crew will destroy the interior of one of these new trucks in less than a year. They are not built for the working class, they are build for the lazy Americans who think they are entitled to everything. I am a hard working American guy and I am sick of the Auto manufacturers catering to the lazy Americans. Give me roll up windows, give me a manual transmission, No cruise control, manually operated seats, manual 4x4 shifting, manual hubs, a spray in floor covering, no radio, no rear view camera, no silly indicators, and only add big mirrors. This is a truck that the farmers, contractors, landscapers, delivery, and countless other trades need in a truck. By not having all that electronic garbage, and having everything be manual would significantly reduce the cost of a truck. Who the hell wants to spend $50,000+ on a farm truck that is going to have the crap beat out of on the first day. Here the manufacturers are truly narrow sighted, thanks to lazy Americans.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

1JawsJr: Nothing to do with laziness as both actions are about the same effort. More to do with the chance of losing keys as well as wear and tear on the ignition
