The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali Is Now Cheaper & Can Tow More!

[@VAF84]

Owned many a trucks prior to this Sierra EV. Diesels, big V8, supercharged, Turbo, etc. The Sierra EV is an awesome all around truck. The big battery eliminated my range concerns. Now I have a truck capable of doing most truck things, with the comfort and ride of some of the top luxury cars. I think it's one of the only no compromise vehicles out there. Work truck during the day, luxury cruiser by night, family hauler for road trips. Plenty of acceleration if you need to push this massive beast at sports car speeds. It pulls like my Powerstroke did, without the lag, when you punch it. GM built a great truck here.

[@Justin-ur5uc]

So excited to get mine. Moving from a 2016 f150 and it feels like a different world in the Sierra. Couldn't say no after I test drove it

[@yevgeniykhakhaev9788]

Having a panoramic sunroof and no sunshade is a war crime. Especially in expensive vehicles like this.

[@AHungryHunky]

As a dad, going to agree. My next vehicle was supposed to have a panoramic roof but the second we found out my wife was pregnant again I tossed that right out. Hardee to maintain cabin temperature and also harder to shield sleeping babies from noon sun.

[@ryanscott1989]

Yeah. Our Bolt EUV even has a sun shade

[@Cal94]

see, if car makers would put the kind of photochromic glass that go into airliners, like the 787 dreamliner, into panoramic glass roofs, i could live without a sunshade. cause airplane photochromic windows get more than dark enough to sleep, and i'd trust that to last longer than the moving parts of a retractable shade. but last time i saw a photochromic roof in a car, was the venza, and i don't recall that glass going dark, just opaque.

[@gregray4690]

I waited for almost 5 years for the Cybertruck, but no option for the 500+ range as promised. I prefer a Tesla for their software and innovation. But this truck with longer range is tempting me big time. I love it personally.

[@TAWithiam]

[@ParvTubeHD]

You'll have to wait till range extender plus come out I guess, the only down side to Sierra 440 Mile range is that the battery is indeed massive, if you use it all up in one day, charging it up at night for 10 hours will only get it 115kw which is enough for the cyber truck but its about half for the Sierra, once range extender plus come out then you should be able to charge it up faster and have about or more range then the Sierra

[@TAWithiam]

@@ParvTubeHD it has 19kw AC charging so you could actually just about fill it up from flat in 10 hours. 'course that requires you to install a 100A breaker (to meet the 80% NEC rule for continuous loads, since it's 80A charging) but that's not unreasonable if you already are spending on something like this

[@marcin-guitar]

Same here. I cancelled my Cybertruck and Ramcharger reservations and pulled the trigger on this gorgeous truck. Range and interior is way better.

[@2thdocdds]

…it’s not cheaper, they just made the $10k battery optional then added $2500. An identical 2025 to a 2024 is therefore $2500 MORE.

[@luisbarraza9709]

Is the shorter range software limited or actually has smaller battery?

[@marcin-guitar]

​@@luisbarraza9709Smaller battery. Yeah max range is marginally more expensive in 2025 but has even higher range due to better motors, 5g, color selection etc.

I'm seeing ICE Denali starting at $82,620 and going all the way to $109,410. So this one at $92k not needing the extra cost of gas to run and all those extras such as running all your power tools off site from it, the ability to back up your house during a power outage with no need for a loud and smelly generator plus the extra cost of gas to run it etc. seems to be a deal. And if you have solar, you can charge it for free. People have to stop thinking of these EV trucks as just trucks. You guys need to get off your horse and buggies and come over to the modern world.

[@Longsnowsm]

"It's a very useful truck", Oh did we mention it is an EV? As it should be. It should just be considered a truck, with some very cool features. Very nice. Going to be fun when the prices come down to something most of us can afford. It is nice, more choices, more options. GM is stepping up. Looks great. Thanks for the video.

I don't really comprehend why ppl who Vehemently HATE anything EV. Would watch a channel dedicated to EV. Like What The Actual F? I hate Walmart. Guess what I never shop there. It's Real easy😂 - All that aside, I love this! I have the Cadillac IQ luxury 2 in Black Cherry pre-ordered. Can hardly wait to receive it. "Love" how all the EV haters r like 50-100 miles for towing. When you all at TFL showed it towing. I seem to remember 240 miles. Where as a Ford F350 even with a 48 gallon tank towing would be nearly the same. EXCEPT it's very expensive fuel(normally & Trust it will be soon)plus diesels expensive maintenance costs. EV's are cheaper to maintain. Considerably I reside most in muriKa. And 1/4 of the year in Colorady. The vast majority Big Foot esq 😂Lifted Ford, GM, Ram. NEVER TOW/HAUL let alone experience "offroading" except whole paychecks speed bump. Like really. When I owned 3/4 Suburbans & the 6 pack dually. It wasn't to look "cute" or "masc/Butch" I had them bc I needed legit towing power. & I knew what the cost of fuel was, particularly in San Francisco proper, Even then! At today's cheap price of 3.32 pg on a 48g tank 159 & change. & if towing anything? That's a Thirsty ride. Where as my 2 EV's currently run about 48-60 for complete charge. IF not charging at "home". For significantly more range albeit a sedan & luxoboat convertible. - idk 1)why watch an ev channel IF you hate ev anything? 2) GM's products as far as EV'S are concerned are Superior to their competitors. & their Sales figures even show that. Ram is sinking & Ford is right behind them. Whose excelling though GM Buddy! ❤. Tho I love GM? I'd never buy a 1983 Chevy Chevette. Guess what? I don't watch any vids about Chevettes either.

[@mekg5430]

I don't get why people need to come to the channel Named 'TFL EV' to watch something they're not interested in or believe against. It seems like a total waste of time. Reading through just a dozen of these comments, most are against EVs. It seems like most people who comment, either don't understand the engineering and technical side of EVs and their specific use cases, scared of new or different things, or just enjoy the feeling of complaining. No EV trucks currently on the market are meant to compete with the HD gas/diesel trucks yet. Those are purpose designed trucks made for towing heavy loads with large fuel tanks meant for work. EV pickups are great for the 90% of half ton pickup uses, like going to work and the trip to the hardware store where having a box is necessary. Having over 400 miles of electric range is fantastic and will only get better in the future. Ford and Ram don't have a dedicated EV platform which seems to be a reason they can't compete with GM for battery pack size and efficiency. I'm glad there's some people who get what EVs are about!

The GMC probably has more fluff on it that makes it heavier than the Silverado. The higher tier the trim package the lower its' towing capability become because of the added extras.

For some reason they limited the GVWR on the Sierra to 10k pounds which limits the payload and tongue weight.

[@AHungryHunky]

​@Slane583 That is the exact reason every truck commercial has those asterisks. It "can" do this. If you option it as a base model, 2WD. But they play a little psychological switcheroo by constantly showing the top trim and offroad trim while talking about the base model capabilities. The OG Ford Raptor had only a 1000lbs payload, for example. It's gotten better, of course, over the generations, but my GMC Acadia is currently rated for about 1500 lbs. Think about that, a turbo 4banger in a crossover can do more than a 1st gen Raptor. I know the Raptor is an extreme example, but it's still a full-size truck.

[@Slane583]

@@AHungryHunky The pricier off-road models were always known for their lack of payload ability. What they lack in payload they make up for in off-road capability. My previous 2004 Silverado Z71 was only capable of hauling 1,000lbs if you were lucky. It had very soft leaf springs so it sagged with any kind of decent weight in it. My current 2020 Silverado Custom is far more capable for hauling and it only has the Turbo-4 in it. The door sticker says not to exceed 1,939lbs combined weight of payload and passenger. So even with me, another person and my tool box in the bed I was able to haul 1,260lbs of bagged mulch with no problems. Of course I don't want to do that too often but I can if I have to.

​@@BZ1340 The lumber transport was exactly what I was thinking but while I was deciding, I just happened to be hauling lumber in my previous truck and had to slam on to the brakes, even though I had things strapped down solid, there was a loud boom from the lumber hitting the box of the truck. I instantly thought, what would have happen if I was in the Denali with the midgate open? Or what happens if I am carrying a bunch of boxes or loose stuff like a shovel in there as well? After that, the midgate started to lose its appeal to me. So there really wasn't anything to justify paying 45k over a top of the line lightning which had the stuff that I did want (car play, nicer glass roof, bigger frunk, under back seat storage, actual buttons for lights, etc..). Like I said, I went in pretty confident that I was getting a Denali but it was a no brainer going with the lightning (for me). If you do end up getting a Denali, just be very aware to tie everything down when that midgate is open.

Love these truck man but I dont know who realistically can afford a 100k truck. The smaller battery being “cheaper” isn’t really CHEAPER if you can afford a 91k truck u can afford a 100k truck because taxes gone bring u to 110k at signing. I dont care what nobody says taxes need to always be included on window stickers. who ‘s the target audience? I make a lil over 100k with a very secured job n like Most younger folks really wanna adapt that EV truck wave but it’s about 20-30k overpriced. Unless it holds 70% of value for 10 years which we know ain’t true I don’t see it being ever really the hit it’s meant to be. Great videos those love the channel tho.

[@Deatomizer]

The front lights look just like the Ford Lightning

[@garyclack3807]

If you replace the 24 inch rims on this truck with a 19 inch rims on the work truck would it get longer range

[@g7003041]

100k… ??? I guess as yourself a car journalists have access/tested to so many brands of truck don’t even want to buy any of these trucks as your personal truck, that a give away all these new trucks are worthless or just only good on paper or showroom 😅

[@tommyg.6820]

Not an electric vehicle fan but I have a serious question. Why not use that huge frunk to put a spare tire? When you have a truck bed for storage a spare would easily fit up front. Cmon truck manufacturers think about the customers.

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

98% of the people that would buy this truck wouldn’t even consider changing their own tire so what’s the point?

[@tommyg.6820]

@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit Still need it for a blowout, even if you're calling AAA. They gotta change the flat with something.

[@Brubiedoobee]

Why does the truck seem so big, but the steering wheel so small?

[@Paul-xm8rd]

Would love if GMC would make a truck like the Ram charger this would be ideal. A 150 miles all Evie with a backup generator that could make it go up to close 2 700 miles. This technology is not old to GM as GM made a 2011 through 2019 chevy Volt with approximately 53 plus miles all EV prior to the backup generator kicking on. Which is the range extender. I have said for years this technology would be awesome and it would be a massively huge cell for GM to produce this type of a truck. Unfortunately Ram got the jump on GM and Ram is putting this truck out first Even though it is g m's technology

[@Darclay24]

Why are they putting such large wheels are pickups?

[@dave3657]

I had a car once with a sunroof without a shade (moonroof?) I hated it, ended putting a shade on it. 😡 Midgate just like an Avalanche. 👍🏻 Would like the truck if it was a 5.7 V8, no interest in hauling around a load of lithium. 🔥 Really don’t want the giant flatscreen, how often will it need replaced? 💸 Motor sound 😂 I had toy cars with a motor sound too…. vroom vroom. 👦🏼 I thought my 2002 Avalanche was great, never had a problem other than bad tires. But as an EV. 👎🏻

[@g3johnston]

I thought 2025 models were going to have NACS? I was delaying my own purchase for that reason, I guess 2026?

[@bahamatodd]

They might have meant we would see NACS in 2025 which would mean 2026 model year.

[@doomsday9973]

Not until 26 MY. Just use an adapter it’s not that big of a deal

[@ericlampham]

Yeah, that lack of cover of the sunroof is stupid. I get it's a truck, but at that price point you're likely to have kids and would need to shade them, or for any number of other reasons.

[@4rr44E]

So, no sun shade for the glass roof, the charge port door looks ill fitting to the body contours, 24” wheels, and the keyfob didn’t work the frunk correctly. Not a great “first look” Andre.

[@Cal94]

the worst thing about the 24" wheels, is how tiny the brake rotors are in comparison.

[@sesmeltz1965]

@@Cal94 have you actually looked at the brake rotors? They’re quite beefy and it’s one of the things Andre has commented on before in other videos. They aren’t relying on regen alone - the physical brakes are powerful enough for its rated towing performance.

[@Cal94]

@@sesmeltz1965 i aint judging the performance, i'm just saying it don't look right. on a sports car, u run big wheels cause u gotta clear big brakes. by comparison, the 24" rims on the sierra just look awkward. they give off the impression of being "big for nothin", just cause there's so much empty air behind them.

[@sesmeltz1965]

@ oh, yeah. Totally agree there. I seriously considered downsizing when I bought it. They are definitely “big for nothin’” Seems to be the trend and I’m not a fan. I decided not to spend money just for my tastes but maybe someday I’ll change my mind.

[@Ninjump]

Give us. The hybrid. Medium duty. Real truck. Who's going to do it? Hoping we see it with the next gen 250

[@SwannBus]

Why hasn’t GM enclosed the rear and add a third row? It would be the only full size 3-row EV with over 400 miles of real range. Seems like a no-brainer.

[@aggiewoodie]

For one, there would be more to it than that. It would likely have to redo all crash safety testing. This would likely add millions to development cost, and, as we all know, EVs already have massive development cost. Most manufacturers, other than Tesla , are not, yet, making any profit on EV.

[@xyz8512]

I love it but it's out of my price range. Realistically, I'm looking to buy an electric truck in about three years. I expect the landscape will be very different by then. I hope.

[@ML-lg4ky]

This is the exact opposite of what we want in a new truck.

[@jakjakjakjakjak]

I know you guys know all the communication community and engineering community that is customer facin at GM. And i hope they are monitoring your video comments. Gents PHEV 2500 with the 6.6 Gas or 3.0L Diesel. Yes small diesel on big truck with a battery. 40+ miles at 80mph with AC running. Thanks And please announce your phev power trains that are coming up for the 1500 and hopefully 2500 platforms. I dont want to buy ram. But i will wait 2 years for GM if i know its in your pipeline.

[@webjunkie2012]

Was about to buy this truck last week but my wife/kids liked the panoramic sunroof and BUT NO Sunshade ... WTF .. What GM engineers were thinking ? For $112K, out the door, this is not worth it , Has no Luxury features for Rear Seats. Way Over Priced .. Pass ..

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

Wait for Ram EV, F150 Lightning Gen 2 or Ford Ranger EV in 2027 Or just get a Ford Maverick now

[@tedspradley]

6:41 Hopefully they sell it without a glass roof. Regardless, love the truck. I’ll never be able to buy one.

[@andrewvercillo7584]

Now this is the truck you should’ve bought. Rather than the Toyota!

[@brucesheehe6305]

Take it to Uray Pass and do a video.

[@aerojet393]

A third party will make a sunshade for $150 , and “no shade is a deal breaker “ on a $100,000 truck ? Really ?

[@bahamatodd]

Can't believe they put work truck white on a Denali. Should have been GMs tri coat white metallic.

[@brita654]

No sunroof cover is definitely strange and a no deal for me. I dont get it

[@slucero1124]

Add CarPlay

[@SaltyDog69]

No shade is definitely an issue in my climate.

[@desertmodern7638]

Spending all of my time in the hottest parts of California and Arizona makes an unshaded glass roof a nonstarter. Very impressive truck otherwise.

[@jminaya90]

Why 24”? If they put 20” will be better and more range

[@deankunesh]

Cut the price in 1/2 then I am a buyer

[@matttakahashi8283]

What happened to the Tesla charge port

[@bambam4537]

Perhaps, it would be beneficial to move the microphone a bit further away from you. It's like Dark Vader has just reviewed the truck.😂😂
