And all of that has nothing to do with the Duramax. He could complain about the color as well, saying "GM basically gives us different Denalies with all these color options!!!"

Thank you for suffering through this for us. Much appreciated

Not everyone wants 26” wheels on their daily driver…

[@josephbonds49]

@Michael whatever, you get my point. Not everyone’s wants brushed oversized wheels on their wife’s daily driver. Or their daily driver.

[@HNRichard]

exactly, it rides better with smaller wheels and thicker sidewalls anyway

[@AUav8r05]

I actual optioned mine with the 20s because of the look and ride comfort.

[@markskala9107]

I actually prefer fixed running boards. No motors to go bad. No moving parts to fill up with snow and salt. May not look as clean but zero long term issues. Not cheap to fix even if you can do the work

[@zachl6918]

100% agree with you and am glad that GM offers fixed running boards on all trim levels of their full size SUV's

[@andrewjackson8409]

Love the new Denali! My wife's '21 Tahoe had the auto start/stop feature left off of it because of the chip shortage. Blessing in disguise.

[@garymiller652]

I’m actually in the process of swapping my 2001 GMC Yukon to a duramax!! I’ve had the truck forever and I absolutely love it!!! I’ve done allot to it like rims, tires, sound system, paint, debadged it and all kinds of stuff. I pull my 20’ heavy equipment trailer all the time with it and she’s does good for the 5.3 but It’s been my dream/goal to put a duramax in it!

[@camdenbloomquist5537]

@@garymiller652 best bet for engine would be to buy a wrecked truck with a duramax

[@golferal]

There are reasons that GM offers multiple options and packages on the Denali line - 1) The 22" wheels are incompatible with snow chains/ cables so those that live in areas with occasional snow (not enough to justify a separate set of wheels with snow tires) would not be able to drive their vehicles if chains were required. 2) Appearance aside, the ride quality with the 22" wheels is substantially inferior to the 20s. The exception is the Cadillac's suspension system and tuning which isn't available on the current model Denali. 3) Some people might want the basic Denali equipment such as the 6.2L engine and interior upgrades WITHOUT the larger wheels and power running boards. Speaking of wheels, asthetics are entirely subjective. Not everyone wants overly stylized and/ or ill fitting options that reduce vehicle dynamics and fuel economy....

[@Livin_my_best_life]

Yes, hate the dealer stickers! Last 3 vehicles had them off in the first 24 hrs of being home!

[@geoffmooregm]

I made it clear when shopping that I did not want any stickers or dealer licence plate brackets applied to my vehicle. They were totally fine with it.

[@larryc1964]

I used to buy all GM, from cars to pickups to vans but I have found that since about 2007 they are nowhere near what they used to be. Repair bills and fighting for warranty repairs between 07 and 14 finally drove me to purchase Toyotas. I’m very satisfied with a 2008 tundra 5.7 and a 17 Tacoma since 14. Also an 18 Camry. I’ll I’ve had to do is regular maintenance on the Toyotas. They have been absolutely trouble free.My opinion is … GM is cutting corners in the last decade or so and there is a new generation of engineers at the helm that put styling first, not reliability. Just my thoughts.

[@jeffbushnell4910]

I agree with you completely! I’ve done the same thing leaving Chevy for Toyota and I have never looked back. Bought a 2016 4Runner with 115k on it and to this day, no mechanical problems at all except maintenance

[@timrudy4359]

The ultimate package has been around for years. I believe since 2016

[@captainwill223]

You will appreciate stationary running boards the next time you drive through loose gravel and it protects the side of your truck from chipping. They also tend to freeze up on extreme cold weather locations. And retractable running boards do not let you mount splash guards for the front tires. Better to have than have not!

[@twann421]

Thanks that was some useful information.

[@TJ-RIVERSIDEBUICKGMCCADILLAC]

I am a GM Product Specialist with Riverside Buick GMC Cadillac in Cartersville GA. The Denali Ultimate has been a package for quite some time but with the 2022 Sierra 1500 mid generation body redesign the Denali Ultimate will be introduced as its own Trim Level and will feature Super Cruise as well as many many others and a refreshingly modern redesign on the interior!!! I will be happy to answer any questions you have on any GM Vehicle!!

Buy the Auto Stop Eliminator. Makes it so you do not have to keep turning it off as it remembers how you set it. Took less than an hour to install.

[@kamuelap.5263]

Like you said, there’s two types of “Denali”s now. You have the regular Denali, and then the Denali Ultimate. The Denali Ultimate comes with all the things you said, such as the 22’ rims, power running boards and the rear camera mirror. It’s silly that they do that now, but I guess that’s what it’s come to.

[@waterdog1580]

I wish some manufacturer would build an 8-lug SUV. There’s a company called DuraBurb that puts an HD Duramax drivetrain into GM SUV, and GM should learn from them.

[@adamkavanagh1107]

You can thank the EPA and CARB for all the start stop systems on practically every car/ light truck. They force their hand on every OEM to make it fiscally irresponsible to not have it on a vehicle. Thankfully the EPA still allows OEMs to have the disable switch, I look for that to be removed and for there to be no option to disable start stop in a few models years.

[@blancostango1223]

[@nickaugustine715]

Hi! Iam Nick a salesman of a small town chevy dealer in Pennsylvania,the reason you don’t have the rear camera mirror is because it only comes in the one advanced trailering packages which is currently on constraint because of the chip shortage

[@goodoltimeperformance]

I notice your Denali doesn’t have a brake controller either. My 21 Z71 suburban didn’t come with one either because mine didn’t have the “max trailer” group but yet it gives your the 2inch hitch, a 7 way plug and a mode to pre trip your lights

[@parkerschmidt28]

Jack the pole building is looking fresh! Would love a full tour!!

[@joeyouknow2664]

I agree with all of these.. Kia did a good job on Lane assist to where you can dodge debree in the road but it'll also assist you in the lane without extreme force

[@calebsjunkremovalservice7593]

There will probably be a harness you can plug into the start/stop to permanently disable it . We have one on our Volkswagen atlas

[@brycesanders5402]

Auto on/off is the same deal no matter what brand of car you buy. Yes its a nuisance, but ALL the manufacturers require you to push a button to disable.

[@techexamined]

When I was looking at Sierra's back in 2016/2017 I did notice some features for the Denali were add ons. Same thing went for the SLT I ended up buying.... It was something i spent a ton of time making sure I understood before buying... It was a real pain in the ass.. PS... I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS tell the dealer to take their shit off before i buy it... LOL

[@gavin7225]

In comparison to the Expedition, the Denali is similar to the platinum trim, the Reserve is the Limited of GMC

[@rstnmart]

My parent just got theirs that they ordered. They couldn't get the running boards or the rear mirror camera because of the chip shortage.

[@brentcoleman9075]

Now that makes since. I guess that’s a better option then having a bunch of undeliverable orders.

[@StillLiveWithMyMom]

Was forced to go truck shopping when my last one got stolen an found a good priced 19 GMC Denali with 1 owner and low miles that I had to have. Thought I was only sacrificing roof lights but a week later I realized I didn’t have a sunroof or 5th wheel/gooseneck connections either.. I’m one of those people that didn’t realize they came in different packages and figured Denali meant it would just have all the goodies. Wasn’t the case

[@wil4741]

It’s not GMCs fault you didn’t pick the option with 22” wheels or the power running steps. Both are on the 2022 Premium and Reserve packages.

[@farmerguy8579]

I have the 3.0 in my Sierra and the auto stop start function stopped working when my “change fuel filter” alert popped up. So, I didn’t reset it after I changed the filter and the auto stop start hasn’t worked since. Thank the LORD!!

If you would have opted for the Denali Ultimate Package - Includes Advanced Technology Package content, Panoramic power sunroof, Power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting, 22" bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint, Max Trailering Package and Rear Seat Media System. (Includes Air Ride Adaptive suspension on 2WD model and Premium Capability Package with Active Response 4WD on 4WD model.)

[@Forestdawg1791]

I’ll add a few annoyances from my 2022 Yukon Denali. The windshield wiper controls are crazy small. Find it very hard to actually turn them on. Also you can’t turn on all the interior dome lights if the switch to turn on the lights when the door opens is pressed. It’s a weird bug. If you hold the interior light to turn on all the lights and the door light switch is on the lights flicker and don’t turn on. Another one is the off button isn’t sensitive enough. Find myself having to press it two times to actually turn the car off. Never had that issue in any other car but the Yukon ignition button isn’t very responsive.
