Interiors just don’t only sell a truck. I think this screen design is so much better than the Rams & Fords. Plus, you can get a V8. This is the top dog.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

At this point GM deserves an award for preserving American automotive culture with the V8.

[@jmn3]

I’ve had a 2024 1500 Ultimate for 6 months and it’s by far the most impressive vehicle I’ve ever owned. Incredibly comfortable and smooth ride. Supercruise is awesome for long drives and the 6.2 is simply a lot of fun to drive

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your ownership impressions!

[@scottlenahan8228]

I’d take this truck over any V6 or 4 banger half tons… Sounds so good and looks fantastic.

[@coryw.9086]

Traded my 22 F150 for a Sierra Denali with the 3.0 diesel. I have zero regrets! Awesome truck.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for sharing your experience and kudos to you for getting the diesel!

[@im_an_alvani]

That color and the desaturated GMC logo on the front look so sharp. I'm partial to a diesel but offering an honest V8 is fantastic.

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

That V8 is delicious.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

I can't believe this is how I find out Ford isn't making the coyote F-150 platinum anymore 😭 Cheers to the last pushrod V8 truck

[@joshuamason1979]

Ram has an incredible interior that way you are very comfortable when it is broken down on the side of the road

[@F80zcp]

Thanks for this review! It was spot on. Only thing I’d add is the 6.2 has an active exhaust GM recently added which vastly improved the tone. It’s extremely good! I am a car guy that never was into trucks and decided to lease one of these. Deal was too good to turn down and for me there were no other competitors. Ram and Stellantis are far too shaky as a company with mixed reliability, Ford was tempting with Power Boost but I didn’t like the looks, and Toyota scared me with the 3.4 TT issues. Left GMC with the amazing LT1 and vastly improved interior. Also…SUPERCRUISE is incredible. Overall It’s a great truck and the 6.2 awakens a small part of my car enthusiasm. 4800 miles and it’s opened up some and feels very strong. Got 21.8 mpg on my last leg of a road trip to Maine.

[@josha5086]

Woof, this truck market is crazy! Need to get more reasonable prices.

[@ryanricardo]

Awesome vid 👏

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks!

[@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs]

Great to hear that classic V8 rumble! Thanks for this great review! 🙂👍

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching man!

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

Nice review and I would rather buy this truck.

[@HailCheezus]

love that color

[@Ade-cd6wk]

Sir you messed up on a couple of things but still a solid review. That bed is Rino-lined from the factory not the composite one you mentioned and the regular Denali can get Bose speakers. not sure if it 10 or 12 but pretty sure Bose systems are standard on AT4 and up. I have an SLT with optional Bose Speakers.

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

It's a very nice truck.. BUT.. In 2000, I bought a 1999 Siera 4x4 straight cab long box with a 4.3 V6 and automatic transmission with 17k miles for $14K U.S from a GM dealer. (I believe the new list price was only around $20k) I had it 10yrs and put 430k miles on it with no major repairs. WHAT are the odds this truck gets to 400k miles without any major repairs after 10yrs? What will it sell for a year from now? Trucks didn't use to have luxury car prices. Maybe I was lucky but I think "They don't make them how they used to." is correct and they sure don't sell them like they used to.

[@sachemrock]

Great review Matt. Thats a sharp truck but the pricing is just ridiculous for trucks.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching! I agree the prices are crazy but amazingly people keep buying them somehow and wanting even more (like the need for this Ultimate on top of an already nice Denali).

[@ScottieRC]

NOT the most luxurious truck. Denalis are gaudy and superficial. General Motors need to remove the word “luxury” until they upgrades the interior materials and improve the ride quality. GMC touts their trucks as the only premium brand, but it’s just hollow words. Ram doesn’t brag about luxury with their trucks, yet their higher trims are far more luxurious, and ALL rams have better ride quality than any GM truck. The only difference is they don’t brag about it with hollow words. GM seats sucks too. Higher F-150 trims and nicer too.

[@x-ray5300]

The F-150 also offers a V8 too.

[@dillonsrt]

Only in lower trims oddly enough, or the raptor r

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Not on the luxurious trims.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

​@@dillonsrtWhy they do that is beyond me.

[@MrMashman93]

@@MattMaranMotoringWhat is the reason for that Matt? That annoys me, but this Denali is gorgeous!!!!!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

@MrMashman93 I'm not sure why Ford doesn't offer it on the higher trims. Doesn't seem like a big ask considering the zillions of configurations available for the F-150 already. Maybe they figure people that want a loaded V8 F-150 won't mind going for the Raptor R? Surely there's some that wouldn't though.

[@InuranusBrokoff]

I cant believe how basic it looks. I cant put my finger on it, but this thing doesn't appear to be a Denali.

[@Sm1thSan]

Lol, feel classy and expensive!!! The 80K + price tag has nothing to do with it?

[@breakfastballpar4273]

Take care of your V8's. They're going to be worth ALOT of money in 10 years

[@clemnewton9007]

Gmc = get more cash

[@coureurdebois]

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Most expensive gm truck and the grille still doesn't match any of the trim and carplay sucks.

[@coureurdebois]

Okay ford fanboy, cry more

[@MachSpeed767]

Can people stop buying these overpriced trucks altogether? Maybe then these overinflated and unnecessary prices would have to come back to reality. 80k plus for a truck. My god, why is that ok with anyone?????

[@naveenthemachine]

I’d choose the ram1500 over this.

[@Daimxn]

That's a lot of money for a new turbo 6

[@naveenthemachine]

@@Daimxn but at lease it has a lot of power and it has a gorgeous interior
