New, Improved and Tested: Beaver Creek to Boulder in the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali

[@mountainhobo]

Winter looks beautiful on the screen. Keep it there. Love from California.

[@regsparkes6507]

This Yukon and the Chev Suburban are still my favorite LARGE 4WD vehicles.

[@sigor2011]

How crazy is it, it is 2018 $80,000 car and they still put DVD system into it when every movies now coming out on Blu-ray.

[@noreason2701]

sigor2011 their $50k margin wasn't enough, they couldn't afford a $100 license fee from Sony

[@dmanshouse1]

Generic Name lol neither could Sony (PS4)

[@aaronpritchard4889]

It’s a Blu-ray player. It does both Blu-ray and DVD

[@sigor2011]

Aaron Pritchard review clearly stated DVD system. I hope they are wrong in what they said. It had no mention of the Blu-ray.

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

why do they come with a dvd system at all ? why not a bluetooth media system that is independent of the front system that allows occupants in the rear to play anything you can get on your phone/ipad/tablet/laptop. with all the accounts we have today from netflix,youtube,amazon tv, hulu ext ext and the ability to pre download movies and shows by the season isn't a dvd system basically useless. are people really still buying dvds?

[@DrunkenChewbacca]

Sounds like that thing shifts beautifully @ WOT!

[@ss442es]

Thanks Andre, good information.

[@alonsobentley3351]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months xD

[@eliseoemery3767]

@Alonso Bentley Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@ScotWalt858]

Good video. I recently purchased a 2017 GMC Sierra. EXTREMELY disappointed that I am not able to see immediately what gear the truck is in. Very aggravating for the money spent.

[@andrewmendoza1578]

It’s crazy how it’s snowing there and I was just at the beach swimming in 80 degree weather in LA 😭😂Winter in SoCal

[@moltzq7907]

I am a big fan of GMC and I think GMC is making a great job by towing,horse power and maybe with fuel econmy

[@takiman1]

Good choice of Winter coat that GMC dude got, Fjällräven

[@npsit1]

I am so happy they are putting big engines in the half ton yukon xls again... I wonder if that will apply to Suburbans, too. However, I don't like that in recent years, the windows have gotten a lot smaller. My old 1992 has huge windows. A lot of viewing area. Now it's kinda like a chop top.

[@fade7755]

2018 GMC Yukon Denali vs 2018 Ford Expedition Platinum .... please

[@NordicNevs]

When these first came out I was in love with them. Now I am glad I never got one...priced to high, interior is lacking compared to competition...but I still like the 6.2.

[@RoverRacer913]

Gonna see a lot of hot moms in these! Great review as always guys! Love the SUV coverage you guys are doing.

[@nealp885]

haha. I think you are right every time I see these it's always a women driving.

[@dedalliance1]

I really do like those Rims, they look pretty dang sweet lol.

[@richardreyes2683]

Honestly, GMC needs to update this truck to make it stand out from the regular suburban and regular Yukon. For this amount of money, you can get a pretty well-loaded Navigator that will for sure stand out on the road.

[@mountainhobo]

Nice truck, heart stopping price. I'll take it as a gift.

[@djisar]

That woman had some epic glasses lol

[@XploreAz]

djisar yeah they look pretty stupid.

[@takayama1638]

I’m with you Andre. My F150 shows gear, I like.

[@Hiluxtaco]

This is the front end that GMC should've stuck on their 2019 trucks..

[@killintimeracing1368]

Great review!

[@BLACKSTARRBOSS]

The 2018 GMC Yukon Denali has a combination DVD and Blu-Ray player.

[@Oregonchicken]

Should of tried the 0 to 60 in 4 low. 😎

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Adding 2 more gears didn't make a difference from the 8 speed in MPG. Have a 17 High Country 6.2L and it's averaging 22 MPG all day long. Paying for 2 extra gears don't see the point just another money grab and before I get any comments NO have no issues with the 8 speed it works flawlessly.

[@justingonzalez9950]

Yeah I hear the 10 speeds not working anymore

[@trailrunnah8886]

That's a damn good looking truck. I love that interior, although the seats don't look that comfortable, they look pretty flat. The old GMT400 trucks had some comfy looking seats.

[@jesuslovesyou7390]

The seats are extremely comfortable. I test drove and also had a chance to sit in the rear bucket seats. I was impresses

[@briankim75]

Michael Smith I

[@Sn0Pro7]

If you really want to test it you should have put 4 Yamahas on the trailer

[@trevortimmreck]

Lol, my friend with an rx1 would agree with you lol

[@StreetersGarage]

8 ton limit. Lol

[@lp6wo]

I have an RX Warrior and I would agree. Weighs a ton but at least its reliable. 10k miles and counting.

[@trevortimmreck]

He hates his, mostly because we don't have enough snow ever to ride the damn thing

[@jdh10475]

I want to know what gear I’m in.

[@sigor2011]

Powerstroke 6.7 buy a stick shift sports car, your will know 😁

[@Yippynutsmacker]

No you don't. Why would it make a difference? Push on the gas and go up hill.

[@barrthom603]

Buy a Navigator or Expedition then.

[@Cater821]

Why? does it make a difference?

[@stevenvanheel3932]

I like knowing that I have a truck that won’t constantly be in the shop.

[@marcinolszewski3126]

you got to love it when your fancy 80k suv has same stalks and switches as 30k pickup. ....talk about upscale and special. that price is inflated by at least 20k over what it should be

[@BLACKSTARRBOSS]

In addition, I wonder if a regular sized 2018 Yukon Denali would be slightly faster than the XL version (both versions with 6.2 and 10 speed using premium fuel)?

[@elliottwalsh94]

Beside's the Range Rover, the Yukon is the most beautiful SUV's on the market.

[@Luscious3174]

Get the Callaway version with supercharger and exhaust mod - it will wake that lumbering beast up

[@smarticus6384]

Now I am curious how fast the Navigator would be from 0-60 in comparison.

[@gavinbooshu4737]

Brake boosting the launch makes them slower. It’s N/A, no turbos.

[@b3877896]

My thoughts exactly, Gavin. Andre et al, unless you are testing a turbocharged vehicle your best standing start performance will be taking off with the engine just above idle speed, say 1000 RPM. This allows the torque converter to flash to a higher stall speed and thus higher available torque to the rear wheels. Torque is what counts during acceleration runs!

[@GeoTrashPanda]

b3877896 typically stall speeds aren't adjustable so yes break boosting is beneficial tomorrow what motor driving! Just helps get your heart higher up in the torque band unless the cams super lumpy at low-rpm but even then still get more power=higher rpm above idle. Silly keyboard warriors! LoL

[@b3877896]

Sorry, but you are DEAD WRONG! And FYI I'm no "silly keyboard warrior". I do know what I'm talking about, and you DO NOT. Regards, Lloyd Coulson

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

nice road trip vehicle

[@corycoulter5140]

GM designers should take notes on interiors from Ram!

[@JohnDiMartino]

I don’t want to hear it’s geared towards fuel economy more than performance...the 10 speed is able to give you both , that’s why it has 10 gears,first gear with a 3.23 is as low as the 8 speed with 3.42 .The truck is too heavy to be any quicker that’s the bottom line .

[@Mopar21277]

Wow, there's about $145K worth of hardware right there!

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

it doesn't make sense to have such a tall gear ratio in a truck that has a transmission with a final transmission gear ratio of .64 that weighs 6000# ..... you have to go 80mph with a 3.3 rear gear , a .64 overdrive , 31 inch tall tire , in order to be at a cruising rpm of 1831 rpm . so if you have any kind of load or even a couple passengers and you are doing 75mph you won't even be able to stay in the final drive ratio due to the lack of torque , it will drop you into 9th gear at 75 mph, 31inch tire, 3.3 gear , .69 9th gear ratio youll be at 1851.... so unless your completely empty and doing 80 mph you will never be able to use 10th gear let alone 4 cylinder mode in tenth gear. Basically it should come with a 3.73 instead . 3.73 final , 31 inch tire , 75 mph , .64 tenth gear puts you at 1900 rpm that should be enough rpm to hold tenth gear and use 4 cylinder mode on flat surfaces. IMO

[@revistadearmas]

test drive was in Colorado but that guy was prepared for a demo in Siberia Russia

[@sunj8286]

anything they don't have, is because the customer do not want it!

[@martingunawan1590]

Why don't you test 2018 ford expedition max platinum and Navigator L reserve? 0-60mph? 0-402m? 7000lbs towing?

[@philtripe]

from what i can tell from news articles, GMC will be all american made but the Terrain will be hecho in mexico just like all the silverados (400,000) so its like going back to the 1970's when GMC was different and better than Chevy by using only 4 bolt mains and never using any parts from the first year of production like the 1984 GMC's didnt come with the 700r4. if you wanted the 4 speed you had to buy a chevy...i know also that chevy used to make v8's in Mexico, US and Canada and the best blocks were Canadian and second best was American and Mexican blocks were useless for anything but a boat anchor

[@dolow36]

The best USV ever

[@jagsfanrick]

A beautiful truck for sure.

[@derekortiz3663]

MD Cooli un safe vehicle?

[@logdon17]

Also, I cant believe they bring you to test things out. Your questions are so specific and cut right through the sales BS.

[@KYoss68]

Gee with all that power it should have a 10k tow rating.

[@GIGABACHI]

9:59 DAAAAAYUM, Andre . . . . you got the typical PR blaring defense speech from a corporate peon. 😂😂😂😂😂 Gotta start working on my "Fresh Meat Trophy Husband" persona, maybe then I'll hook a loaded, strong, independent, single MILF driving one of these. 😁✌

[@GeoTrashPanda]

2wd is way faster with this tank of an SUV and it shouldn't break traction on dry pavement that easily!

[@phlyphishsmith]

So on the 0-60 run, you select auto 4wd to get better traction but then turn off traction control. Interesting logic. I’d just run it in 2wd to get best 0-60.

[@radomark408]

10-SPEED?!? Let me guess next year 12-SPEED?!.....

[@philtripe]

no...they spent many years developing that trans and more gears is pointless after ten speeds

[@mattzaske8771]

stickloaf that's what they said with the first 6 speed to

[@jamieshields9521]

No more gears will fit into that size transmission, plus durability issues with toque load.

[@Torsee]

Someone tell the GM employee to ditch her ridiculous mirrored sun glasses. Big PR no no.

[@RobG001]

especially when it looked like it was raining lol

[@gmman010983]

Toribio Contreras LMAO

[@benzchannel73]

She is a secret agent

[@dedalliance1]

I thought she looked kind of hot in them. And why should it matter what a sales person looks like?

[@DaBrute]

I'd buy a truck from her...

[@NewtonWashinton]

I would also want to know what gear i am in, $80,000 and you don't know, crazy,.. not for me

[@trailrunnah8886]

What other automatic transmission vehicles tell you exactly which gear you're in? Is that a normal feature? I've honestly never seen it.

[@NewtonWashinton]

my 4 cars all tell me what gear i am in. a chev van, a Cadillac, a GMC pickup truck, ford mustang.

[@markc3341]

Newton Washinton when you manually shift yes it shows your gears .. in drive only the f150 10 speed does that I think the camaro to

[@mehdiMehdi-bc2sn]

I love american full size SUVs 🎩

[@JsGarage]

Are these chicks glasses for real lol

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Wow! 4 sleds!!!! My neon can do that. Next

[@TechViewOpinions]

Nice tactful way to ask for the gear indicator status. The GM guy brushed it off, sadly.

[@duramax78]

And also it’s at 5000 feet isn’t it.?

[@denvernuggets007]

It’s got to be faster than 8 seconds.

[@ElevateHTX]

You would of been better off doing the 0-60 in 2WD and traction control off.

[@repairvehicle]

Seats look very cheap, might be the video. Second row seats don't move. No sunshades for windows in second row and third row. Its SUV and who really cares about 0-60. Most of the people that buy them don't race them 0-60, except for youtube entertainment.

[@fred2845]

Seems like Rich snob vehicle

[@wildbill23c]

Definitely. Just an extremely over-priced Tahoe.

[@thetrollwhoknows9928]

They run stronger after 5000 miles.

[@logdon17]

Haha, the chick was great, "a real, authentic wood finish". When someone uses 2 words back to back that mean the exact same thing to describe something they are usually clueless. Clearly they didn't hire her for her intellect...

[@brandonwright2067]

20k less then navigator and the Yukon doesn't sound like the eco crap suckage

[@1800Beatdown]

Funny because the people that that actually buy these types of suvs will probably never watch these video overviews.

[@Beast-lf6et]

First-hand

[@deepee1544]

She couldn't take off her ridiculous glasses for the video?

[@0dq0]

Not an XL

[@mobgma]

....AND STILL NO 360 CAMERA SYSTEM ON A MONSTER 20 FOOT LONG $85K USD DENALI XL WITH TINY ASS MIRRORS AHAHAHA. Shitty sub $30K cars now have 360 camera systems. NO THANKS GM. Don't give me that BS that only noobs need them. It is 2018 and tech is as much a part of the automotive industry now. Should be standard on all luxury $80K+ vehicles with tiny ass mirrors.

[@timfox2344]

Does her Dad know she took his hat, glasses & coat? Like 12 sizes too large for her. “Hottest interior color scheme, just like your home” ..... it’s bland gray with dull aluminum muted surrounds .... where did the $80k go?

[@oliverjh1281]

He sounds like Arnold quarter pounder ....I’ll be back 😬

[@jeffthebean1]

Still going with that awful column shifter, eh GM? And trailer brake controller on the left instead of the right, like literally every other manufacturer, including Chevy in 2019?! Looks nice, but some of their design/layout choices make me question their design process.

[@KennethLeeAtLGA]

Transmission shifts bad

[@C1XX_TurboBlazer]

It’s not an ecotec Andre... it’s a vortec

[@NWI_Steel]

Hmm something is up with that truck. It should be in the 7's for sure because at sea level it's in the 6's

[@donleamon8653]

Yawn, learned my lesson on my last Denali XL. POS.

[@brandonwright2067]

I'll take a Yukon over a Tahoe or escalade any day definitely over the hideous navigator and the Yukon got a v8 yes please

[@themanthelegend7048]

I knew a woman designed this when you said you couldnt see what gear youre in. Then a womam comes on to explain how colors are popular 😂😂😂😂😂

[@samuelgordon6906]

two offering warm journey Israeli greatest explanation violence investigation emphasize copy.

[@Eeaotc02]

Black cars.....we need more diverse colors instead these neutral colors.

[@thetrollwhoknows9928]

Double JJ black cars matter.

[@Eeaotc02]

thetroll whoknows Oh I see where this is going. Just like white, gray, and silver cars to they are dull. More colors.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

What are you talking about? The lady said that you can get nice expressive diverse colors like brown and beige. Sorry, _cocoa_ and _dark atmosphere._ Yes, this is obviously sarcasm. I totally agree that blacked-out/midnight vehicles are really overrated.

[@Eeaotc02]

MultiPurposeReviewer I wish they could of shown us the diversity than the somewhat black edition.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

I just think the hype and luster over all-black vehicles is totally unjustified. Henry Ford made his cars black because it dried the fastest. Now, we have to pay top dollar for all-black cars. It has never made sense to me.

[@chrisdamon6520]

Lol y use auto 4 wheel in a 0-60 lol

[@wmc128]

Chris Damon 2WD is better for 0-60 .4wheel high slow you down due to the power is being spilt between both sets of wheels.

[@chrisdamon6520]

wmc128 lol that’s y laughed lol these guys don’t know much about drag racing lol lol lol

[@wmc128]

Chris Damon I know its so funny they brake boost NA engines and wonder why it does not go faster than just using 25% open throttle.

[@scottfurlong5475]

Enough with the Yukon already! Where the hell us the 2019 Ram 1500!

[@danielc5205]

I'm guessing the average Denali owner doesn't snowmobile. They're too busy slapping and pushing women around on the red carpet.
