Is the NEW 2025 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate a better SUV than a Jeep Grand Wagoneer?

[@GBLecci]

I like this interior better than the Ultimate Denali to be honest. The black interior goes well with the car. The only thing that I hate about both models is the paywall on the Super Cruise system. It is like buying a mobile phone and being able to use the camera only if you have a subscription. this is ridiculous...

[@RaitisRides]

Yeah that is a challenge for sure!

[@Cheesiermacncheese]

I think of it as almost paying for a streaming service. It gives you access to all of the roads and highways already mapped out like the movies and shows that have already came out. Then the new mapping and roads are like movies coming out soon. I don’t necessarily agree with it I just see where they are coming from.

[@MP-kt1jf]

Yup we don’t need more subscriptions in our lives acting as leeches taking our hard earned money on a monthly/annual basis. I bought the car, that should be it. Stop nickel and diming the consumer

GMC should be proud. They're doing a good job with their trucks.

I am os glad that you are digging this one.

Facts

[@rickjames6867]

This is an awesome SUV and I would certainly choose it over the Wagoneer.

[@ddbear8786]

I am also trying to decide between this AT4 Ultimate and the Grand Wagoneer. I like the Grand Wagoneer (especially the way they approach the interior) although the rear cargo door styling of the Grand Wagoneer bothers me. I don't like the sluggish and buggy Google Android operating system which GM uses for their center console display. They each have their pros and cons.

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Best SUV in the segment

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with for you!

[@anthonybaez52]

My dad will definitely get this car

[@RaitisRides]

Your dad has great taste!

[@Cstanton04]

Personal opinion…This main screen is straight out of Fords playbook. I love that panorama screen across the dash like the Tahoe and Escalade.

[@Tbcycoji]

ford was just glued to the dash and way up on the dashboard.

[@chase1as]

Except as usual GM did it alot better. Im yet to be impressed by a Ford interior tbh...one of their biggest weaknesses

[@mikejames8133]

GM just can’t let go of the shiny plastics, they should have used the open pore wood on the center console. I’m glad the diesel is now available

[@davidcallen5847]

Can you get the AT4 Ultimate trim with a 2nd-row bench seat? I don't get why they force captains chairs on certain trims. Shouldn't they offer both as different people have different needs on how many seats they need.

[@bdeck4368]

Totally agree, the second row bench should 100% be an option on all trim levels!

[@1LElife]

You could get a 4x4 SLT trim and put your own lift kit and wheels on it and get your bench seat and not have to deal with the air ride suspension

[@davonne225]

love that color, I would pick this over the Denali Ultimate any day.

[@Jerb1992]

This is definitely the one I'd go with if I decided to buy a Yukon

Great looking truck. I doubt many would be taken off road.

[@RaitisRides]

Only to the mall parking lot!

[@ddbear8786]

I might buy one, because I frequently go on long distance drives for ski trips. Sometimes I like to explore dirt roads along the way. I like being able to continue on the journey during heavy snow storms, when it is hard to see road boundaries. I like the extra protection for road debris on these long drives.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Looks awesome except for that two layer dashboard, option to the Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade (hopefully slightly cheaper price also) as it doesn't have as much bling as those others.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

Awesome vehicle. Nice to see GMC knocking it out of the park. Thank you for your videos Joe.

[@V8EngineSound]

The edges of the seat controls are silver trim, and I feel that this small detail really giving this car more luxurious.

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Is this the ultimate Bronco killer? RIP Ford Bronco.

[@RaitisRides]

Not to sure about that!

[@jonathanrodriguez6376]

To be fairness, the GMC Yukon refresh for 2025 is amazing to look at for.🙌🏻💯 Like this Joe:).

[@alexmaclean1]

Did they have the base model here? This is absolutely gorgeous but the base one is probably pretty snazzy too for a little lower price lol

[@bentleyfierro3926]

Z71 / Z66 Better name than AT4 GMC All Day 🙌🇺🇸

[@catsaretasty]

Chevy Off-road version is cheaper would be cool if Cadillac escalade had a Off-road version v series is the best.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Joe, I'm glad you got a chance to talk to the General Motors Truck Company people about positioning the running boards so that we can get some kind of a feel for the dynamics of what's going on here. Great job today bringing us these vehicles in their secret location.

[@RaitisRides]

That is so awesome of you to say! I am so glad that I got the access to bring it to you!

[@Vet4Justice1776]

Does anyone know when GM is releasing the build date and pricing for the new Yukon refresh? I heard Oct 1st, 2024 but I'm not sure...

[@ric2702]

The Twinkie and Ham Sandwich had be rolling lol😂

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Ric for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!

[@latasha6288]

I still don’t understand GM not wanting to add a head restraint to the middle seats in these full size suvs.

[@Limatola11]

Just a suggestion, maybe when pricing isn’t available yet you could include the previous years msrp for a similar package.. just so we have a general ballpark or can make a guesstimate lol please!

[@Cstanton04]

@@Limatola11 I’d guess 73k for a 25’ base AT4, all the way up to 85-88k decked home run like this.

[@profezzorx9131]

Raiti, you missed the most important part of the Yukon review.... Did GM get rid of the push button shifter, or did they revert back to a column shifter? ...I have a 22' Redwood Metallic Yukon AT4, and I love mine. I lifted it and put 24x14 wide wheels on it, but I love the aggressive offroad look.

[@jacobchavez4719]

[@ddbear8786]

Is there a comparison somewhere of what is missing from the GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate vs. the Denali Ultimate trim level? I would like to max out the trim level, but I like the extra off road capabilities.

I will probably go for the AT4 with an LZ0 as I don't need, or want the rear seat entertainment or Super Cruise.

[@dennwilliams3342]

Joe do you have a review of the traverse z71 ? Or did I miss that one ….

[@ChevyF16]

The rear seat entertainment in the Denali ultimate is what kept me from purchasing one. Only blue tooth capable. No IR or direct plug-in available. I see they haven’t changed it. Also, numerous reviews about GM RSE states it’s a “nightmare”. Wish the Yukon AT4 ultimate had an option for no RSE. Love everything else about it. Cannot purchase with the terrible comments online.

Does it come with Auto-Hold brake ?

[@GOD999MODE]

It would be awesome if you guys could start adding some text (bullets) in the video when talking about specifications. At the very least, in the description. Key figures like Engine Displacement, Drive train, Transmission, HP/Torque, Fuel Efficiency, Price, etc. You guys seem like you're running a 2-4 person operation, but a little video editing and production would go a long way in enhancing the videos. Anyways, just a friendly suggestion. Cheers!
