@@V8EngineSound As a non native speaker I feel the same. Big mamajama, chilling like a villain, snug as a bug in a rug. I learned a lot of idioms from him.😂
Bought a 24 F150 Platinum and have been extremely satisfied and happy since. Test drove a Denali Ultimate but for me I wanted the big dual panel moon roof and the seats in the F150 were more comfortable. Other than that super close between the two!
Awesome truck. You really want the dark chrome 😂😂 my dad had a 2002 Sierra Denali growing up loved that trcuk looked awesome that year had the 4 wheel steering and the orange lights on the roof and looked awesome.
I bought the Denali 6.2L V8 four days ago. I absolutely love it. It's not the ultimate, but its a beast and it is beautiful. I just like setting and looking it. 😂😂
Great video! In the 1500 class Sierra Denali is the way to go. It just looks perfect inside and out. Can’t wait to get one someday, hopefully they have a panoramic sunroof by then. Kinda insane that this premium truck doesn’t have one.
Good overall review, it's a very nice truck. I like the idea of getting the double cab version 6.5 ft. bed with the 5.3 V8 in the Pro trim for less than half the price and having enough cheddar left over to put a Topo Topper Camper on the back. Then going to see Mt. Denali in person.
I have the 2023 Sierra Denali, the reason why is the cabin roof is small to put the panoramic roof and the weight of the pano roof. Its understandable why they didn't include it. Most likely 2027 might have it along with the V8 engine upgrade.
I like the flat black fender protection on mine. I owned an earlier Ultimate and now a 2025. I like the hint of black on the front of the hood now, and I also had the paint colored fender flares / protection and it made the truck look more like an "old man's" truck to me; the flat black plastic is more durable and gives it a bit more aggressive look in my opinion. I like it better personally - my 2025 Ultimate in Sterling Silver with the 6.2L ... awesome truck, loving it
There dogshit the quality and recalls on them is pathetic and the v8 a get lifted issues and all the electronics on them are all from china or Mexico and for the money the frames aren’t even painted there coated in this POS wax that comes off with your bare hands Toyota and even dodge paint there frames which is way better.
Nice truck I like GMC but I know I can't afford that so but if I had my way about it if it was just a little Chrome on it I will get it deleted put all Chrome black on it then color match the fender flares
I've had mine for about 6 weeks now. The kicker sound system doesnt work, it powers on but does not connect to bluetooth (tried with 3 different phones). Also, after seeing this video, I noticed that there are 4 bolts missing from the panel that holds the speakers in as well.. So, some quality issues but overall the luxury feel described here is pretty spot on. It definitely looks and feels like a high end vehicle. the Super Cruise is pretty awesome but not available on all roads.
Great review as usual. Noteworthy would have been that the Supercruise requires a monthly subscription after a while. I bought a 24 Ram Limited and learned the hard way that one has to subscribe in order to remote start the truck via the app. I'm just not a fan of being nickel and dimed after dropping 70k plus for a truck. Some will think it's not a big deal to pay a fee and that's okay but I mind.
You forgot to show the cubby doors in the back seats! That’s one of the coolest features. Overall, a great review and I agree on the missed opportunities to make it perfect… panoramic sunroof, ventilated rear seats….
The GMC Sierra 1500 is a beast of a truck! It’s got a powerful engine, great towing capacity, and a really comfortable interior. Plus, it’s loaded with tech features like advanced safety systems and a user-friendly infotainment system.
2023 and 24 6.2s have been suffering bearing failure in small amounts but concerning, so I will wait till the end if the generation to send a verdict...
I think the shifter is a Zonk. When you are on the way to work you are reaching over the shifter and more chance to spill. Put the cup holder on the driver’s side. Put the same dash shifter as the Yukon or back on the steering column. Zonk.
Nice review. This truck would be my second choice. I ordered the Ram Tungsten. If I wanted more utility (towing, hauling, etc), the GMC would be my choice. Also, the discounts of the 2025 are greater making the Ram hard to beat.
You should have shown the button on the power side step. Not many people know that it's there. At the end of each side step there's a button you can press with your foot.
@heftig27tt You can have the step come out without opening the door by tapping the button with your foot. It extends out and goes further toward the back so you can use it to access the truck bed easier. It's also useful when when washing the truck.
@@cblanda3559 exactly what came on my mind while reading your comment. For washing is awesome or also while loading something long with somebody. Very good feature. Too bad i cant have that truck here
I have the exact same truck but with the baby duramax. no issues so far. Plus all the transmission issues and recals that are going on do not affect the truck with the diesel. its the best combo. Plus the "gas" mileage is more like 24-25 city and 28 plus on the highway. heck I get 24 towing on the highway.
@@vaxsurIts a Denali Ultimate, this will NEVER be a work truck, the most this thing will have in its bed is a TV or maybe some fishing equipment And don't even mention off roading 💀
I'm totally with you on the chrome, dark chrome all the way, please. But, I also have to ZONK something. When you go on throttle, please put the RAITI sign somewhere near the right bottom corner. It's very distracting in the middel. Other than that, great job Joe.
Agreed with all the negative on the Crome they should had made them black, and bed should had come with cover to for the ultimate. The problem with the panoramic gnc used on the electric dosent have a cover is just glass. The guy told me even if we were to costume do it we wouldn’t be able to get cover on it . 🤷🏽 ps the driver system u can’t let go of the steering u have to keep ur hands on it. It was actually made to help people that fall sleep during driving vehicle will keep u on the rd
Good day Joe great review. I got a question and you know the answer to this question which truck has the best ride ? And if you were to choose half ton truck which one is your pick? Thanks more power to you Chanel
@@dgpatter None of these trucks, including the one in this review, will be going past 220k miles. Chrysler jeep dodge reliability problems are no longer relevant. Im not saying they have improved, I'm saying there's no difference between all of these trucks in the long term.
Nice truck! Remarkable performance!! But it's about time GM listened. Why would they want to put veddar chrome on the grille for four years in a row and fail to replicate it around the vehicle? Go veddar or bright chrome all the way or black it all out like the AT4 or the Elevation. Also, put a cooling system on the rear seats.
10:10 and 23:49 Whoever let you borrow that truck is going to be pissed. $86,000 for a truck only shows 417 miles on the odometer and it gets driven like it was on a drag strip. tsk tsk tsk ***For a 2025 GMC Denali 1500, the recommended break-in period is typically considered to be around the first 1,000 miles of driving, where you should avoid hard acceleration, excessive towing, and high speeds to allow the engine components to properly wear in and seat correctly.
I do love them denali ultimates I'll have to admit. It's the interior that gets me madly in love with them. One of my top favorite trucks like right there those par with the ram and F150 Limiteds like that thing is sick. Whenever I win that lottery that truck is the first thing I'd spend it on plus a horse trailer for my two horses. Favorite truck entirely hope GM keeps making the denali ultimates.

6 ltr V8 with integrated infosystem ❤❤ absolute beast, beautiful. Have to be integrated infosystem
This truck is the dream car of every man to have! This thing is the KING! My dad loves this truck awesome review I will show my dad
Fresh haircut and fresh review. What a beautiful truck, and you boys knocked it outta the park too. Great review !!
Awesome truck. You really want the dark chrome 😂😂 my dad had a 2002 Sierra Denali growing up loved that trcuk looked awesome that year had the 4 wheel steering and the orange lights on the roof and looked awesome.
Oh wow! That is really is really awesome
I love the grille on this truck and the wheel openings should be body colored
Good point that is for sure
That’s an option on the truck, just not on this particular build
Raiti still loving my Ram ❤
I’m so glad to hear brother!
@RaitisRides you as well my friend 🧡
Me too!
The dark chrome is really good. Good to have everywhere. It look huge this vehicle.😊
Love your videos man
You are the best Nick
You are right on point 4:05 my friend, love the truck and respect the very good review
Now THAT is a truck!
You better believe it David
Excellent review Raiti! And still no Tonneau cover at 90k! Unbelievable. Now, that's a Zonk. I can live without the panoramic roof.
I totally agree about the black chrome.
You got me, man! The criss cross applesauce panel sold me. Not to mention the banana holder!

Can you tell me the size of it, like lenght, widght and height? I cant find any good specs there are tons of different ones
You gotta love a GMC truck
No i dont
Yes of course Joe and I will buying this truck.
Yes great review! I WILL DEFINITELY OWN ONE OF THESE SOON!
This Sierra 1500 Joe still looks sharp and fresh. Interesting what they'll do for 2026 or 2027 redesign.

Happy Thanksgiving. Great review like always!!
The most luxurious full size truck. But WHERE IS MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF?!?!?!
Because it's not
GM said they couldn’t add it because how was truck was design but next gen GM trucks will get panoramic roof
@@jivangill Really? I have been googling that a long time ago and i didn't even know that
@ Yes in 2026 or 2027 next gen GM trucks will have it bro
I have the 2023 Sierra Denali, the reason why is the cabin roof is small to put the panoramic roof and the weight of the pano roof. Its understandable why they didn't include it. Most likely 2027 might have it along with the V8 engine upgrade.
The 6.2 has active exhaust when you switch the truck in sport mode. Opens up the valves.
One hell of a truck 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
You better believe it!
Absolutely a Corvette/Camaro truck because of its 6.2L V8.

I like the fender around the wheel. That area picks up some much crap. Terrible to clean when color matched paint.
This is an amazing truck. That 6.2L V8 sounded glorious as well.
Although the 3.0 Duramax diesel that is an option with this is no slouch, either.
Nice review. This truck would be my second choice. I ordered the Ram Tungsten. If I wanted more utility (towing, hauling, etc), the GMC would be my choice. Also, the discounts of the 2025 are greater making the Ram hard to beat.

Not as of right now Bill! Thanks for your kind words!
That is a nice McKinley!😅
I see what you did there!
Not everybody had your taste in truck chrome nor looks of chrome...personally I like the chrome
Joe would you pick this or the Tundra capstone?
This GMC all day long!
Capstone easily
If you can shell out 25k plus if the twin turbo fails out of warranty....
It needs an all Vader Chrome option for ALL emblems, wheels, and trim to be the Ultimate
I like the ram tungsten better
Beautiful truck,wish I could afford it though.
