- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- We reviewed the updated GMC Sierra Denali for 2022, a Professional Luxury truck for nearly $80,000. While this is similar to the Chevy Silverado, we detail the updates and some of the engineering that makes this a good option. We discuss how it compares to the Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Ford F150.

“I’m a 47 year old professional who needs the ULTIMATE. My wife understands how professional I am because she has professional actors film her and my best friends when I’m busy assistant managing our local Home Depot”
Are you me?
lol
I don’t get it
@@yourmommashouse his wife is a bdsm actress
Show me an assistant Home Depot manager who isn't a cuckold.
I know most titles are satire, but this one is very true. I worked under a partner at an accounting firm who has been a corporate worker his whole life and he owned a SIerra Denali
No one judges someone who has a pick up, no matter how expensive it is. It’s the safe move.
@@jmacie3 Unless you’ve got a brodozer with the rear “squatted” and you regularly tailgate people with your headlights searing out their retinas.
This seems like the perfect truck for me. I can't wait to buy it and put even bigger wheels with 24" wide low-profile tires on it. I'm also going to misalign the headlights so everybody knows what a toolbag I am while I tailgate lesser vehicles in the left lane of 294 in a construction zone.
...don't forget to "squat" the rear end (raise the front) to show ppl that your truck is as hip as the pants that are half-way down your buttt. Or, start a new trend and "dive" your truck by dropping the nose and raising the rear to show everyone you follow your own path and don't need others to tell you what is "cool"....
Don’t forget the neon lighting underneath like Honda Civics had in the early 90s. And the coffee can exhaust. Put some Type-R badges on the truck too. And a big wing spoiler. Purple tint with lots of bubbles. Baby On Board sign. Fill the bed with a ginormous subwoofer. Fake HID bulbs.
And a Calvin peeing on blue oval sticker.
The laser etched Denali mountain topography really takes this truck to the next level of luxury. I can imagine all my worries simply melting away as I embark on a long, professional grade journey, looking over and gazing smartly at my etched Denali mountain topography!
Step into a Genesis, Lexus, etc and you'll see luxury.
That nonsense is gimmicky for fools that don't know any better.
What a crock of sh...
@@barrygoldwasser5449 It was sarcasm, dude. 😄
@@barrygoldwasser5449 how do you watch this channel and not understand sarcasm?
@@barrygoldwasser5449Any car or truck these days that is over 60k will be luxurious. To say the least, Genesis is doing a great job, but Lexus is behind the times, that Denali looks better inside than the last RX (2023) I test drove.
I laughed out loud during the cutaway at the beginning of the shop segment. Well done.
Truck prices are absolutely insane right now, and GM is still slapping you in the face by cutting corners in the suspension. Nice to see them improving the interior and keeping the small diesel alive though.
Thank Biden
@@Jwdude123 What does Biden have to do with this? Corporate profits are up 53%, literally their price gouging is why inflation is a problem
Idk, it’s solid and tested. It’s a truck. The RAM trucks are very nice, but I keep hearing about air suspension issues
@@JStryker7 setting aside all of the bullshittery, you can't go wrong with ram ford or gm when it comes to trucks. They all have their occasional issues and excel in different areas (objectively), but nothing really widespread when it comes to problems- really comes down to preference. I would say that the of the big 3, Ford and Ram have better platforms than GM, but all of them are well ahead of the Toyota Tundra at this point though.
@@Jwdude123 how does the price of a truck have to do with politics please tell me
Test drove an SLT a few weeks ago. Huge improvement in the infotainment and overall dash layout . Biggest problem is the seats are rock hard. Also dealer wants $5k market adjustment over msrp for a mid grade truck that is missing parts. That's over $70k! No thanks. The only reason I even test drove it was because GM is offering 0% APR for 36 months ...too bad greedy dealers cancel out any benefit of a low APR.
Even with 0% they still get you with a loan setup fee of a couple hundred. No matter what they get there money out of you.
Our local dealer doesn’t charge over MSRP. In fact, these trucks is $2k off of MSRP right now.
...so, at 0% for 36 months at the $70k you mentioned...that is a $1944.44/mo. 1,945 per month is huge; huge like TX. also, what parts was it missing? or, is it because it is the SLT, it is missing parts compared to the Denali? Why not a Silverado High Country?
Interesting. That’s the price of a new Lexus GX460. Would choose the GX any day unless it’s for work purposes. 😊
Some vehicles are shipping without steering column locks and some are missing either heated or cooled seats. Those missing options are to be dealer installed when chips become available.
Todd’s cornhole plot needs to be explored in subsequent videos please. 😂
I was surprised there wasn’t anything at the start. The ending was a a happy surprise 😊
A construction worker i know paid over $100,000 for a lesser version of this.
These prices ( for a depreciating asset) are insane unless you are a top 1% person.
It's crazy how much people spend on cars. I know somebody who's car payment is about 60% of their monthly take-home pay.
"1%" I disagree ask any loan officer how frequently a $80-$120K vehicle is being financed - routinely. GM has done a brilliant job of marketing to the segment of society who can lease or use their truck for a business expense and tax write off. They've also done a good job of social engineering the public into believing that a grossly over priced truck is a professional calling card and tool of the trade - "professional grade" brillant. I know this though, when I hire a Electrician to do some minor electrical work on my home and he/she pulls up in a Denali, any hope of me getting a fair deal, rather than surgeon level wages, just went out the door. Additionally, i've also learned to hide any expensive toys from plane site when any tradesmen is on my property when a price hasn't been pre-negotiated.
@@aryamanparashar3238 should be 10-15%
@@ddw3968 that’s still too much.
@@RUclipsuser1aa if you bring home $3000 a month and we’re going to buy a new vehicle what are you going to get for less than 300 a month?
My wife's boyfriend has one of these and I think it drives great!
It’s really nice of him to let his girlfriend’s husband drive it!
Was going to buy this just to drive around town and go through the Starbucks drive through, but trying to determine if that is considered professional use as I don't want to get in trouble with the GM marketing department for not using the vehicle for its intended purpose. Thoughts?
As a carpenter, I can say without a doubt that is exactly what 90% of the guys that buy this truck use it for. None of the tradesman on my job sites would use this as a work truck let alone be able to afford it.
Your lips are hanging out.
@@yourmommashouse 💀💀💀
I do carpentry, plastering and overall restoration work mainly in old houses and drive a Honda Ridgeline. And I can assure you it sees more proper pickup use than 90% of full size trucks out there.
About this GMC. It looks great on the outside, plus finally the interior isn't a laughing stock anymore. But unfortunately that's were the positives end. Spending that much I couldn't live with it, knowing that GM cheaps out so much on these.
Agreed, this truck is to fancy for real work. It will get dinged and damaged over time and you don’t want that to a 80k.
Thank you for the Todd outro! 😆 Poor Todd and his corn hole injury. Sad but hilarious!
I really like the interior design. I like how the infotainment screen is not as huge as in the ford or in the ram. I am also positively surprised about the physical buttons and dials, including the ones on the steering wheel. I think this is the perfect combination.
That last segment really got me tearing up
Thank you for the public service announcement at the end.
We all need a positive message of hope for the future.
SavageGeese - More than just a car channel. Well Done.
Wow that was a recall back to some seriously OG SavageGeese!!!
Diesel in my area has become so completely disconnected from gasoline pricing - right now and for the last 8 months diesel has been an entire $2 more per gallon than gasoline. This thing would have to be getting over double a gasoline variant to make it worth it and 24mpg, while good for a truck, ain't nearly good enough to offset the massive price hike. F150 hybrid gets 24mpg after all.
Excellent point. In this case, what is the advantage of diesel.... torque?
@@robertdevoy3119 In towing our camper, the little diesel doesn’t show fatigue in (at least here in Colorado) which is why we bought it over the 6.2L. Almost ended up with the Powerboost F150 but it was almost $12k more…
Also deisel engine options tend to be thousands more over gas so you need to have MASSIVE savings on fuel. It makes absolutely no sense.
@@FishFind3000 well to be fair it's $900 more than the 5.3, and still about $500 less than the 6.2L. With the price of 87 Oct being about $1.50 less than diesel around me that might be the winner when looking at cost. But you need premium for the 6.2 and that is only about $0.10 cheaper than diesel (again in my area). This blows both of the 5.3 and 6.2 out-of water for mpg. Total cost wise might be close to being cheaper than 5.3, but its a better buy than the 6.2 money wise.
You just have to ask yourself do you want the faster truck (6.2) or save the most money (5.3). I have driven all 3 and the 5.3 is not fun compared to either the 3.0 or 6.2. The 3.0L also makes more power up to about 3k rpm vs the 6.2. Just depends what you want.
@@robertdevoy3119 the only advantage of a diesel truck is if you are towing constantly. diesels get nearly the same mileage towing or not, while a gasoline truck will guzzle the gallons while towing
People at Walmart will be impressed with this one!
Hard to miss parked in the very front in the “handicap” spot!
"take me to the nearest junkyard" loool
omfg, the Toddd bit at the end🤣. this is why i love you guys ☺🙌🏻🥰🥰
While I miss the cheese grater grille, this truck is very impressive. Another great video from Savage Geese!
How is it impressive?
Took decades to get a 50k truck then we blinked a couple times and we got 80k. As long as we’re dumb enough to pay it they will charge it.
That’s been the business trend for a while. Give people less for more and see how far you can take it.
you can still get 30k single cab today just like you could 2 decades ago minus inflation, which btw is better truck then it was in 2000s ... They would be stupid not to charge for all the new leather interiors equipment and ride comfort, not saying it's justifying the number, but it's not like we see exactly in their budgets
That's because for decades pickups were considered tradesmen type vehicles, in the 1980 and even the 1990s pickups were usually either purchased by people who needed them for work in one way or another. Around the early 2000's though they started to become trendy to own which is why you have soccer moms with 90K crew cab 3/4 ton luxury trucks that they use to drive their kids to soccer practice in and maybe the grocery store once or twice a week. I get it, trucks are awesome, I've always loved trucks. But it was nicer when other people didn't, because when there's a lot of demand for something the price inevitably goes up.
You can still get the base truck for 40k
The tap out hat was a nice touch
Completely agree about the Tundra missing the mark. Got rid of V8 & didn’t do enough to increase fuel economy.
Just think of how good the ride would be and how much quieter the cabin would be if it had 18" wheels with tires that had some sidewall.
The company that I worked for bought my new 3/4 ton with 20" wheels. Itbwas a nice truck that I hated to drive.
Yeah, my 2013 Land Cruiser has 18" wheels. I don't bother to avoid New England potholes and I never bend a rim. 20" wheels are just stupid on a truck.
I personally chose the Silverado with the more basic interior and the 5.3 engine. You got all the essentials that makes it a good truck without breaking the bank too much. Now it's already at 60,000km and i just love that truck. I drove the Ram and F-150, but i preferred the ride of the GM, to me it feels like a tank driving this down the road.
I have the same Silverado (RST with 5.3) and I love it too.
But you didn't get the laser etched Denali mountain topography!
Yeah it feels driving a TANK. I hope you know how it feels to drive a trank. Harsh, cramped and will require maintenance any minute.
Not a truck or GM person, but nice to see them taking steps in the right direction...Also you guys should do a video on the rise of truck prices over the last 10 years.
And size. They're impractically big to the extent they don't fit in parking spots and garages, hard to see out of, and the bed is getting too damn high to easily load (not that the people buying this thing are ever loading anything other than golf clubs in).
I wish you all did more of a deep dive on the baby 3.0 Duramax. Follow up video with GM techs and power impressions? And yes, it was great to see Todd again!
Mark not shitting on GM, shocked...all kidding aside, bought first F150 last year and very happy after owning multiple GM trucks. The Ford feels much more nimble, and pulling a trailer seemed effortless with the 2.7...as always, great channel guys.
Now you see why it’s the best selling truck/vehicle.
No it's not. Nimble?
@@grahamstefaan ADJECTIVE...quick and light in movement or action; agile...dude.
But, laser etched Denali mountain topography. You don't have that luxury.
@@jonesjones7057 I'll get it in a tat...

you guys are my favorite car channel by far
My brother the father of my children would absolutely love one of these.
Thank you for the good laugh at the end... Keep them coming :)
I have a ZR2 Silverado that's basically stock if you want to review it, hell of a truck love the lockers and the DSSV shocks are crazy smooth
The other day I saw one of these trucks filled with actual load,it seemed it was used as a working truck instead mall crawler,I was deeply shocked.
Crazy
My GMC is at HD every other week.
Love the old school SG ending. 🔥🔥🔥
Loved the Todd clip at the end!
I can definitely imagine how nice this truck is. I have a 22 new style Silverado 1500 Z71, and the 10 speed makes the 5.3 feel twice as powerful as it has in the past. The truck is also very quiet and the interior space is massive.
To think my 2003 Tahoe with the 5.3L was mated to a 4-Speed lol. I could imagine 6 extra gears made a difference, especially since the old 5.3L had 270 hp and the new one 350 hp.
@@Ryan-yl9kl. Definitely man. I traded in a 2018 with a 5.3 and a 6-speed, and my 22 with the 10 speed could absolutely smoke it. It's a great truck so far.
The problem that I have with this truck is reliability. Reliability of the Sierra/Silverado is terrible. I keep my vehicles for at least 10 years and right now there isn't one that I would buy. I don't trust the long-term reliability of Ford, GM, or RAM. I trust Toyota, but as you pointed out, the new Tundra is a swing-and-a-miss.
I've got a 2011 F-150 5.0L that I bought new when I was 23, it was my first new vehicle. It's 11 years old this year and it's never left me stranded and runs/operates just as smoothly as the day I drove it off the lot. The only thing I've done to it in those 11 years is normal maintenance and put a new belt on the A/C compressor. This is my first new vehicle but third over all "all of which were Ford trucks" and they have all been great vehicles and when the time come's I will not hesitate to buy another Ford pickup. Brand isn't as important as people like to pretend it is these days and yes I include the coveted Toyota in this argument. But generally speaking, take care of your equipment and it'll take care of you. Outside of lemons which all makes have at least 85% of cars I've seen people refer to as "junk" are only junk because they didn't take care of them, it blows my mind that someone will spend 30K to 80K on a new vehicle and then completely neglect taking care of it. For most of us, outside of purchasing a house, our cars/trucks are second most expensive thing we will ever buy, why wouldn't you treat it as such.
Jack trying not to laugh after commenting on the laser etched wood.
We're with you Todddd. Don't let those doctors get you down with their corn-holier than thou attitude!
Hey! I worked on the screen animations for this truck. Nice to see it in the wild
Can’t wait to get tailgated by these when I’m already doing 85 in a 70.
I call it battering ram mentality. I deal with it everyday, just to see them take the next exit after I move over.
Great to see Todd... now need special Turbouski appearances!!
Isn't he dead?
@@paddyohenry6428 I hope not
Todd has that hunger in his eyes like all true Cornhole Champions.
Tapout hat AND shirt? Damn, that dude's a real badass.
Nah he’s still a nancy boy. 😂
great video keep it up :)
I’ve been driving Denalis for years, very much looking forward to the 2024 HDS
And that’s why I always watch the end 😂
I missed the Todd outros. Glad to see him back!
Those Denali Ultimates are nice especially with that supercruise and supercruise + towing it would come in handy towing my horses around especially with that big 6.2L
“Take me to the nearest junkyard” at 1:02 🤣🤣🤣 IM DYING
Can't wait to see you two review a S650 Mustang. Great work as always!
Hey, he's back!!!!
lmao that ending... truly touching
The mechanic/wonderful actor at the end is Scott Parakeet right? Seriously, he is so good! I always love seeing him in the videos. I would love to see another Q&A style video with him and someone else like you did a while ago with Turbowski (may he rest in grease- er peace).
I'm still absolutely blown away that Mark thinks any F150 rides better. F150s generally ride like a forklift.
And there are plenty of viewers who actually believe these dudes don’t hype up certain vehicles. Money talks.
@@GhostOfRT300 I've owned 2 F150s and now a 2019 Trailboss. The Chevy is superior to my Last F150 in every way possible. The Chevy has far better steering feel and body roll control, EXTREMELY better brakes. The F150 had twin piston fronts it had horrendous brake drive , there was plenty of times I was worried the truck wouldn't stop. The rotors would warp after one heavy highway stop. In 4 years the rotors were replaced 5 times under warranty and once by my own money.
By contrast the 4 Piston fixed caliper on the Chevy stops amazingly well for a 5300lbs truck. Savagegeese failed to mention that GM uses Aluminum on every component that has a hinge, doors, hood Tailgate. My Trailboss is actually 400lbs lighter than my F150 was too. I have higher payload , more towing. The 5.3L gets better fuel economy and nearly the same power as my 5.0L was.
Drive any XLT F150 and Jump into an RST Chevy or Elevation GMC and any unbiased person right away says the GM trucks drive far better.
Honestly 1000% thought we were about to see a track segment with this thing. But good truck!
So glad I stayed past the outro 😂
More outros like that PULEEEEEEEZE!
The GMC Denali Ultimate is what the general foreman drives to the construction site.
That Tapout beanie and tank is gnarly btw lmao
The final minute!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! More of classic skits in the end please. We need a return of officer Tommy bubanya to review the US border patrol f150 raptor, or a used police ford exploder. 😉
For the man who just has to have it all. Probably trade this years model for the newest, because it has an extra 10 horsepower.
Right so a spoiled brat
I'll see maybe 20-30 newer trucks a day for my job, and none of them rust quite like the GM products.
Ram/Ford aren't perfect but you wouldn't believe the underside of a GM after just 1 or 2 NE winters
Same shitty paint, same pinches and seams, just even thinner steel so it rusts even faster. Plenty of newer GMs popping rust around here.
Beautiful truck expensive but beautiful
When I worked for GMC (TX) our sales manager said most of our buyers were older-females. 70%+//45years and up.
really nice Truck !! not cheap, but yet you have to undercoat the hack out of it. the frame is exposed to the elements. GM Vehicles tend to get rusty very fast if not protected. thank you for the review.
That’s because they wax there frames no paint them like everyone else…
@@FishFind3000 Really? They wax them? That's bizarre. Also would make it hard to coat them with anything else.
@@andoletube I own a 21 Silvy 2500. They use a shitty wax coating that you can literally scrape off by dragging the skin of your fingertip across it. You don't even need to use your fingernail.
You can't get it FluidFilmed or anything either. Because if you apply any coatings, they will strip all of the wax off the frame.
Also, any time you lift up the vehicle, whatever spot of the frame you lifted from, will immediately start to rust when you drop the vehicle back down. I lifted up my truck with a jack, a block of wood, and then 2 folded up microfiber towels. When I dropped the vehicle back down, a HUGE chunk of wax stuck to the towel and basically stripped off.
No skid plates, stamped or rolled steel in the front A-arms. While the interior is nice, no doubt, it is still a GM product.
Those A-arms look like crap.
Only true professionals have the Denali Mountains etched into the interior of their truck.
Shame it doesn’t still have the column shifter. That’s a deal breaker for me
was that Toddd as the professional Cornholer? Need to bring Toddd back. one of your best characters!
Guys, could Todd please make a comeback? I really do miss him.
Todd obviously got some tough news form the Doc... he just needs our support right now while he comes to grip with his "new normal".
@@Hermanocleas wait whos todd?
@@MrIlovebmw86 Meant Scott, Todd can go to hell!
@@Hermanocleas is todd the funny guy who does random clips? I wish turbowski would come back. He is a really chill guy
@@MrIlovebmw86 Todd always looked like he wasn't into being in videos. Though I'm sure on the inside he was soaring with charisma.
That Interior though.....
It's beautiful inside and out. Probably the best looker out there for trucks. That said, I ain't touching it until they can show me that they can make this thing last. People buy boring under equipped Toyotas for a reason. (I would still stay away from Toyota's for a few years at the start of any production if the current taco is an indication of the problems that need to be worked out)
My dilemma is I run trucks for 10 years and 150k miles you're dead on in the 3 years and dump it folks will stick to brand. What I don't know on any of the current crop of trucks is which one I would be willing to put up with for a decade as a part time tow vehicle and parts hauler. I'm not sure any of them fit that description anymore.
I Loved The Sound Of That Duramax Diesel That Is My Favorite Of All Time If You Want To Tow With That Engine Get A 3.73.
Hey guys, you mentioned that this would be a hard choice if you were only going to keep the truck for 3-5 years. What if you keep your trucks longer, say 10 plus years. What would your decision be then. Thanks
Alas, I can’t qualify for professional use, but would love that engine in a YukonXL. Can’t afford that either.
My 3.0 diesel blew up at 9500 miles :(. Dealer bought it back after 3 months
Watched it the whole way through even though I have 0 interest in this vehicle. The one drawback you didn't mention is that at least right now is last time I was at the gas station diesel was nearly 2x the price of 87 at over $6/gallon.
That ending....hahaha good lord
Professional, premium, ultimate. Toddd.
Just bought two of this tings
Can u pls review the frontier?
Great trucks to choose from. Reliability and durability is an important consideration that isn't factored into review.
Are those professional grade hdmi exhaust tips?
I’ll take this truck over any of the others!
What does the bed in these trucks get used for beside excess Traders Joes grocery bags
Sold my NVIDIA stock a while ago when it reached $300+....I have some money to burn........Thinking of buying this worried about reliability.....the new Toyota Tundra feels cheap plus they have turbo issues. I really like the interior of this Truck. Good review
what collossal waste of money lol
@@veryrare7647 Well my house is fully paid off people waste money on rent or mortgage interest on a monthly basis think about that.
The recent GM trucks with the V8's have been having lifter issues, and the 3.0L turbodiesels have been having problems as well unfortunately. The Tundra will be more-reliable long-term.
@@proudam3969 congrats but doesnt have anything to do with buying a totally overpriced vehicle

Silverado with the 6.2 Z-71 review, please!!
This redesign looks a lot better than the previous model.
I agree truck prices are out of control. They represent the high profit margin segment of many manufacturers. But $100,000.00 for a truck is pretty up there. You have to really know where you are in all this. I will never buy a full sized truck. I have no application for one. Expensive, hard to park in smaller places. Fuel economy though diesel is the only way I would buy it. Gas is insane. Luckily there are plenty of smaller more sensible vehicles to get if the full size truck is not your thing and you don’t feel like having your accountant have a seizure with the truck idea you might have. I love big trucks for what they say as an industry and what is it saying about society where the truck really is the lifestyle choice of the many. Correlation for why they are expensive and have so much luxury? And high costs. Of course. Any vehicle now is nuts. But trucks are the most serious money segment and the sticker shock will continue as demand and rarity keep going the way they are going. The world is not the land of plenty.
I wouldn't want to do a single "truck" thing with a truck that cost $100k. I don't get it.
Wonder how long that truck sat in a vacant storage lot during 3-4 seasons as it waits for semiconductor parts
the ram is amazing
I would wait until its on the road for a year or more before taking the plunge. Check south main's auto repairs and check out the serious quality issues (electrical and frame rust) on a 2019 truck. Its seems like all new vehicles are becomming like those disposable bic lighters, lease then dump.
100% !
I love The snarky humor
I use snarky sarcasm too, it just works better than saying "You've got more money than sense if you buy this overpriced 1/2 ton luxury truck". On a positive note, GM is doing a great job of already making a ridiculously profitable segment even more ridiculously profitable. If you skip to (8:30) you'll here pretty much the same thing.
ULTIMATE
Wish there were some info on the diesel specs. Next time try to include a little of that!
