Which $80,000 Truck Is Best? (2025 Ram 1500 Limited vs 2025 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate)

[@allenserfass5312]

Ram version being reviewed does not match the GMC Denali Ultimate. 1500 Tungsten would have been the correct vehicle to compare.

[@hellkitty1014]

Yep. Tungsten interior is MB S-Class levels.

[@534N69]

Every time I look at that gmc I’m like “that’s a good looking truck” Then I see that ram and just something about the curves and the truck body just. Smooth.

[@chrismarbrey9678]

I personally prefer the GMC. I have the 6.2 in my truck and it's great.

[@RobertArmstrongJr-e8n]

I own the 2024 Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate with 6.2. No issues, 19 + mpg on trips, supercruise works flawlessly, and good looks. Got to love the exhaust sound too. Ram looks like a new SUV, but everyone has their own opinions.

[@MTLRam25]

Had a 20 Ram Limited, tried move to GMC but couldn’t do it. Went with a 25 Ram Limited loaded out.

[@mjsla]

I ordered a Ram 1500 Tungsten. I had the GMC Ultimate but the power is unreal in the HO Tungsten.

[@alp3781]

You are not joking. No one will understand till they ride it.

[@alp3781]

Same as.....RAM 1500 Laramie or GMC Sierra SLT or Ford XLT, after so many drive tests on all of them, the Laramie was 100% a winner FOR ME. Powerful, smooth as butter, comfortable on HWY runs, interior is 10 times better then the rest and overall solid options that will fit any driver choosing these trim level. Amazing ride and the I-6 is almost and totally VIBE free.

[@TheBoone811]

Ive had 3 Rams '15, '17 and new body '19, then i bought '21 Gmc Denali and now i have '24 Gmc Denali and i LOVE this one the best, even over the '24 Ram

[@RJ_100]

For a very similar price compared to these two, the RHO is the clear pick for me. It’s luxurious enough, has a superior suspension for going off-roading, and it’s much cooler than both of these, which will likely appeal to older buyers.

[@hellkitty1014]

Yes. You can get a RHO for mid 70s and is a far more capable truck.

[@Grant211]

Thank you Ben for the video! Both are great trucks, but that 6 cylinder is pushing me towards GMC.

[@Kenopshi-q7c]

Don’t 😂 I had my 6.2 engine rebuilt at 68k miles. GM couldn’t fix the lifter problem in over 10 years. The I6HO is a beast, even outperforms a B58M2. That engine would be my next buy😂

[@thomasbordi8726]

Yes you can change in the settings. Perfect DONE!!!😊

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

Love the interior in gmc sierra Denali. Go out buy both trucks

[@GRAFHC]

You can turn the "seatbelt to shift" thing in modern GM's off in the settings menu.

[@WIILIAMHOWELL]

Great comparison. I think the other couple of things a buyer would consider would be the warranties and the dealership.

[@Bryann500f]

I have the 420 Hp hurricane engine on my ram 1500 big horn and I’m a V8 guy but yall have to try that motor it’s super quick and off the dig you’ll be beating a lot of cars. It’s like a sleeper the hemi v8 can’t compete with these new motors and especially if you get the 540 hp hurricane high output.

[@pplace993]

Wow! Just test drove the Tungsten and the Denali ultimate babck to back a few days ago! The Tungsten interior blows the GMC out of the water, and the H.O. motor has crazy power! I'm not a fan of the light color interior inside the Tungsten. It also has better massaging seats than the Denali. The Tungsten imo is like a Mercedes inside. Another thing is the Tungstens exhaust is way too quiet! There's one thing to be said about the GMC, I love the look of the Ultimate and I think they dropped the ball on the Vader Chrome... all the chrome on the Ultimate should be in vader Chrome. Also I like the fact it still has a V8 even tho its under powered compared to the Ram. I've owned a 19 Laramie Black Edition since 18 and back then I was cross shopping it to the 19 Denali. I went with the Ram because the interior back then was light years ahead of the GMC, and the ride was more suv like. Still, I might try the Ultimate next time around.

[@barryhamilton3112]

Is the message feature in the Ram better, more messaging, than the GMC?

[@LuisMartinez-zq6og]

Not a fare comparison should have got the tungsten trim on the ram

[@Gizlush]

You know you can turn off the fasten the seat belt to drive option.

[@rsquared9357]

I'm currently own a 2017 Ram Limited w/ Hemi and at 95K have had a couple issues...but nothing that's left me stranded. Back then the interior and features for the money left GM in the dust. I loved the 6.2 but the center consoles didn't even have vents for rear passengers...in a $80K truck (back then). But...fast forward to today and the Ram looks just don't hold up against the GMC. I'm also not a fan of the inline 6 though I know it probably has tons of torque and power. The hemi burbles and so does the 6.2...not so much for the Inline 6. I'm in the market for a new one and like the looks of the GMC but wow...can't beat the interior features of the Ram. Decisions decisions...

[@Coheed420]

one of these days Ram is gonna learn the hard way that the twin turbo V6 was not the way to go. people liked the Hemi. so they stopped buying Ram.

[@RJ_100]

Lol. So many people I know have ordered the RHO so obviously there’s plenty of people out there purchasing Rams. If people want the old Hemi, all they’ll need to do is purchase a 2024. There’s plenty on the dealership lot. The interior and exterior of the 24’s and 25’s are almost identical. Plus the 24’s will be cheaper. But many people that have ACTUALLY driven the new INLINE 6 (it’s not a V6, as clearly stated in the actual video), prefer its power, power delivery and smoothness compared to the Hemi. The slightly better MPG is just icing on the cake.

[@robertannable9584]

RAM doesn't offer a TT V6. And, people stopped buying RAMS two years ago because of the egregious pricing. Thousands of HEMI based trucks still sitting on dealer lots.
