Not sure what truck he was driving but the Allison transmission is the most refined and most proven of any HD transmission on the market

[@thegreatga]

+Jeremy Kautz Reliable yes, refined no. Ram has their stuff together on the automatic being smooth as silk.

[@osamabindrinkin40s]

But Dodge Ram has lots of recalls and have safety issues with the RAMS

[@ldodom]

Excellent review, Sam, and exceptionally smooth camera work. I'm really hoping GM will incorporate blind spot warning soon; as they have in their full size SUV line. Thanks for the observed MPG feedback also.

[@xTouragx]

Good Review Sam....nice to see our local AZ roads being used too.

[@williewideback]

Great review!

It's #TruckTuesday with the 2015 #GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali 4x4 #Duramax! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpa5pn97hZZ9j7s

The folding bench seat in the rear is NOT heated.

[@jayf8533]

Holy shit! That monster moose knuckle bulge is awesome. I think I'll be spending my day watching his videos. :0

[@rxonmymind8362]

This truck seems to hit the sweet spot in terms of horsepower and torque. I don't need 1,000 pounds of torque to pull a 6400# 23' trailer. Prices now seem pretty decent on the used market. Can anyone who has owned one comment on any known issues I should look for? Thanks.

[@adrianmarquez8345]

Are there any MAJOR differences between Sierra Denali trucks & a Silverado High Country trucks???

[@MattySOP]

+Johnny “Braveheart” Murdock From what I know the GMC has more bells and whistles but the engines and frames are virtually the same.

[@dnelzy303]

That makes no sense... Anyone who knows anything about.HD trucks knows the Allison is the best, most confident transmission. Maybe drive the others again and correct your statement.

[@tylerboyer7824]

+dnelzy303 that is true but the motor that it is connected to in my opinion is under powered. the engine is not using the transmission to its fullest potential

[@erikgarcia3778]

Take this steel bodied GMC over any aluminum Ford any day.

[@1layerba]

Delete that beast and you will feel true performance.

[@Icutmetal]

Aaron Garcia It’s the tune, not the delete🤦‍♂️

[@artsbest1]

No push button transmission setting. That stick on the column is way past its time GM.

[@johnknatz781]

Louie Lamoore Trucks are the last vehicle to have the option of a middle seat and column shift (who wants to give a hand job when shifting gears? except phallic egotistical douchbags). For the push button start, I don’t need more buttons in my life i got enough buttons on my tv remote. Trucks have your momas nostalgic touch with the fact you can seat 6 just like the good old days. just look must trucks are crew cab, 30 years ago nearly all trucks were single cabs, they were built to haul junk, not fat ass diabetic kids to football practice.

[@aaronkellar6583]

+Louie Lamoore column shift is 10x better for trucks. i feel like im in a prius when i drive a console shift. and dotn even get me started on rams dial, thats just dumb

[@Icutmetal]

Who the hell wants a bitch switch in a heavy duty pickup truck?

[@7inchsoldier397]

Ford is better

[@TheSkateboarder15]

***** Ya ford is good, but i worry about their c-channel frame's on the superduty's

[@DittoBlast]

You comparing Ford to GMC or GM? Ford is great, I love Ford and will also be a fan but I prefer GMC. They just look better.

[@duramax78]

I sold my 2006 Silverado Duramax, bought a 2011 Ford F-250 what a mistake, the fords doors rattled, it was a nice looking truck, but honestly, no quality in the ford.

[@7inchsoldier397]

Ranjit The new aluminum Ford is nicer now. GMC is good to though

[@aaronkellar6583]

+7 inch soldier fuck off with your aluminum, its garbage. absolute trash, its gonna have so many problems. im a welder so dont even try to fight me on this.... any welder/shop tech you talk too will agree, its al the city slickers who think its a good idea. my welding teacher is a for guy and said this is the worst idea ever
