- The Yukon Denali Ultimate is here and GMC wants to be the leader in full size luxury SUVs. This competes directly with the Ford expedition, Toyota Sequoia, Infiniti QX80, Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. On the outside you will find a uniq grill, nead headlights, 22in wheels and automatic running boards. On the inside there is a higher level of materials and finishes. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 that now produces 420HP & is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate a BETTER luxury SUV than a Lincoln Navigator?

Can't get enough of your content!!!! Instructional and entertaining which is ALMOST achievable but you do it Joe!!!
Joe, the moment this vehicle sold me was when you pointed out that the rear glass wiper has FINALLY been tucked underneath the spoiler. Geezzz... took them long enough! Even that Bentley Bentayga didn't have the rear glass wiper tucked underneath the spoiler! Just an FYI... years ago, the Denali trim USED to be very upscale. However, over the past 10 or 12 years, it had become only a minor upscale trim. With the "Ultimate" tag, this one is truly upscale.
I understand the aesthetics of it on the outside, but functionally it's better to have the wiper on the bottom. In order to easily see the road out the back, you want the clear part of the wiped window to be wider on the bottom. I've been in vehicles with the wiper on top, and it's horrible to properly see when it's raining. Then when it dries, it's even worse. You're constantly needing to clean the rear window in order to safely see everything.
Now, the fact that this has a digital rear view mirror makes it just fine to have the wiper on top. Every vehicle should have one of those! I love them! Hopefully it becomes standard across all automakers soon.
The previous generation started the tucked wiper trend for the yukon and its corporate cousins
This is a beautiful full size SUV. I like the color, the wheels, the interior is nice, cool how there is no longer a column shift. GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate is a mouthful. Thanks for the review from the Chicago Auto Show and now the on throttle action!
@Raiti's Rides, LOL @ 24:05 What are you talking about Joe? Let's be real here you wouldn't buy this GMC if they paid you. It drives like a boat, it guzzles gas faster than a mukbang eater, and your butt would prefer your FL5 Type-R anyday of the week~ 😂🤣
@Battosai Jenkins That's why they have diesel which saves you more money on gas.
It’s not a SUV it’s a body on truck frame. SUV is car based
I’ve heard a lot about trading with her but how competent and trustworthy is she? Can I trust her with my investment I need your opinion please 🙏
She’s an awesome person I’ve made $2,125,000 trading with her I’m blessed to meet her
There he is! The man, the legend....Joe Raiti.
I'm loving the styling on this Denali.
Glad you got this Yukon Denali Ultimate With two Tone leather seats which looks stunning bro
956,000k subscribers 💯 congrats keep going reaching goals 1 million lets do the numbers
I used to watch his vidio ... But after viewing your cmt ..
I just subscribed him ..
Let's help him for his best Contain
Joe you're an amazing guy
How many videos this week alone😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
Joe, very confusing the dark chrome and shiny chrome? It should be all dark chrome in my opinion. The Navigator has more horsepower and better fuel mileage. The Lincoln has on the Black Label a map of Central Park like C
GmC has the map of Mt Denali. GMC is a step ahead of Ford especially with the rear wiper and dual exhaust. You could say the Denali is a dressed up Chevy Tahoe/Suburban.
Great stuff Joe. This SUV looks great! I agree that you gotta have ventilated seats in the mid-row. Otherwise a real beauty. Thanks for bringing it to us.
You get a Yukon when you have money, but don't want people to know.
Fun fact, once the center console is slid back, the top part still slides forward so the driver/passenger still has an arm rest 🤘🏼
Can’t find a thing wrong with our Denali Ultimate
Come on man, You can get the diesel in the Escalade.
This channel never fails to disappoint. I love it, so funny.
I also want this car. So nice.
I love the Denali Ultimate and the power of the Escalade V. If I had the money I would get a Yukon Denali Ultimate and have Hennessy give it the V treatment. That would be the perfect combination of style and power. Love the video and a big shout out to the woman behind the camera!
Steven Flood did a great job on camera here!
No thank you I’ll take any Escalade over this 2023 Denali
@@inchlorIentztJiIudamn right
The Navigator is the most stylist one of all them.
\
She is big! I like the dash area….looks good…..with knobs and switches.
🇺🇸 *LOVE this NEW Yukon Denali Ultimate* !! *LIKE the real knobs on the dash for climate control* !! *SUPER to see the hidden compartments in the center stack* !! *GREAT job Joe and Steven* !! *LOL* !! *"We just had a rock to play with"* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
I test drove the Denali Ultimate, Escalade Sport Platinum, and Navigator Black Label multiple times because it seemed like a tough choice. But in the end the Navigator has much better build quality, ride comfort, and shared experience with passengers. It was also the most expensive of the 3 (ignoring the Escalade V). The Escalade dash is very cool but ignores the passenger. The GMC Denali Ultimate competes with the Ford Expedition Platinum with top group options. It really wasn't in the race after I got in the Escalade and Navigator. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these vehicles but in this current generation of SUVs, its Cadillac vs Lincoln.
Love your reviews Joe and Lori! You are hilarious! that’s what makes it even better 😂, keep them coming Joe!
Looks great, but the top spot is debatable between the Escalade and the Navigator. I do love Denali's exterior, though.
I'm totally agree with you about the rear viper. This is the way to do it!
Thanks, great review and your sense of humor always keeps me coming back for more. Big Banana vs Broccoli for potassium....love it.
Awesome Joe 🤙 Good Review
I place an order for 2024 2500 HD Sierra Denali Ultimate Duramax.
Can't wait 4 delivery day with a gallon sweet tea that comes with this massive front grill 😃
I think this one very well put together full size, very impressive. It would be very nice to own. Thanks for the review.
Joe I,m soooo proud of you! You actually said there is a place for chrome. ....well done
I don't have kids to spoil but I don't care. I want one of these.
My dream SUV!! As always, great review Joe!
Best review of an amazing SUV. Love the interior, Nav screen is embedded in the dash board unlike sticking out like a sore thumb in post SUVs
I’m surprised you are just now doing one of these!! I work at a GMC dealership and we’ve had these for months!!!
I think the Yukon Denali is just as good as the Ford expedition, I just can’t decide if it should still have a V8 under the hood.
ofc it should. V6s in trucks this size make no sense
Don`t buy any fords. They are unreliable vehicles. My father use to buy only fords. He had trouble with all of them and they had low miles on them.
Have been a lincoln owner for the last 20 years once they went to a V6 it lost my interest i love the traditional power the denali keeps naturally aspirated V8 this is a truck that I will look to purchase in the near future
Hi rati! I love your videos. No matter what you review, I always watch. A pointer, wish you’d go over the suspension more. Does this have air bags? I didn’t know you couldn’t get the diesel on the Escalade. Great video as always
😊Escalade has been offered with a 3.0L turbo diesel Duramax Diesel option, since the 2021 model. They also started offering a Supercharged 6.2L V8 with 682HP!! It's called the Escalade V. No dealer is selling it @ MSRP... They're selling for as high as $230k!!! 😡30 to 70k OVER sticker.
A sweet ride !!! Expensive...yep but today ALL vehicles are expensive. USA....thanks Joe and Steven.
Love this space in this vehicle. Great overview and perspective. Dont know why they don't do ventilated seats in mid row. Thank you.
Hopefully they introduce Mid-Row Ventilated Seats for the Mid-Life Refresh planned for the GM Full-Sized SUVs in 2024
Love your reviews Joe and Lori!
I will bet my whole Twinkie collection that given the choice between a V8 and V6 Joe will always go with the V8!
as would anyone with a working brain
Yes, no replacement for cubic displacement !!
Love the video content!!! I am torn with colors!!! Joe I need help! Titanium Rush or Volcanic Red? I can’t decide!!! Your thoughts? Keep the content up your the best!!!!
Well, joe another good review, however is GMC copying Cadillac or did Cadillac copy GMC, because they look really similar to me.
Same company, slightly different target buyer.
Neither copied the other, the Escalade looks nothing like the Yukon cosmetically. They’re actually vastly different on the front rows and on the exterior. Of course they will look similar , they’re of the same architecture.
@@mybro727 too bad the escalade don't have cooled mid row and no heat third row
Obviously he’s a movie buff since he knows Steven Spielberg directed the OG Star Wars movie. 🤣
George lucus directed it jbtw.
Awesome suv! For when you have money but don't want to be too flashy about it.
Joe once again you knocked out the park with this review. Just one thing I noticed with your reviews. You never show the sunroof while you're talking about it. Other than that you are amazing at what you do. Oh yeah can we get Lori to do a review one day.. Y'all trading places would be dope and fun to see. Joe on photography and Lori on reviews. Lol
Joe in my opinion I think what GMC should of done was make the Ultimate a trim of its own and keep the Denali a step below. This is as luxurious as it gets and of u get any more luxurious they might as well add a trim called the Yukon Escalade Edition 😆 Also Joe the last SUV that I'm interested in will be the Palisade XRT. Thanks Raiti! 👍
The Denali Ultimate is now it's own trim, no longer a package. It's separate to the regular Denali.
That's why GM has the Cadillac Escalade 🤷♂
WRONG about everything. MAUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Chris Jello wants to buy a purple Saturn from Lori at double the price. Get them in touch at once.
@Dallas Frost I see what your saying I guess I meant just call it the Ultimate to keep people from being confused 🤷
@@jonathansmith1590 Exactly 💯
Yay for Joe !!!!!
Joe, once u pass a million subscribers, then there is a reason that you could give yourself the "ultimate" celebration
Joe- great review as always. I checked the Cad Escalade build site and the 3.0 T-Diesel is still offered by Cadillac as a 1600.00 option on Sport Plat.
I think he meant to say Lincoln, but said Caddy instead.
Twinkies and Yoo-hoo ready, let's go, On Throttle!
Nice interior and love the humor sir it's always fun watching these!
So close to a million man it will happen!
Idk man i feel the screen needs to be a lot larger at that price looks small for me I'd have to squint unless my knees are on the wheel lol
Love it when you go full throttle woooo!
Three years ago I paid $62k for a brand new Denali 3500 Duramax. I just laugh at these prices now.
Nice Denali , great work reviewing this Ultimate Yukon
Another great review this time on one of my favorite new vehicles. If I had the coins this would be in my garage as the ultimate road trip vehicle.
Love this Denali Yukon Ultimate. But yes, The Chrome should have been Darth Vader black. Otherwise stunning!
Thank you for sharing the great video 🙏🏻
Great job joe and Stephen…
This is something I whould consider. It's great for towing and its a great road trip suv
I like GMC SUV's!! I'm buying this one Joe.
Everytime I see the yukon I think of Optimus Prime❤❤❤!!! My only thing is that ultimate literally is just a 2021-22 Denali. They took away features from the Denali just to give it back as an "Ultimate" for what you originally would've gotten in a 2021-22 Denali? Plus, encroaching on Escalade prices might as well go Escalade. The only reason I can see Tahoe is outselling these is because they stayed significantly lower than the Escalade's price point. Beautiful truck though great work Raiti's Ride!
Doesn’t this have LED lights on the running boards?
When I win the lottery, I'm gonna get one of these. Which means, never.
Thanks Joe, another great review of a beautiful vehicle.
🥳Congrats Steven !! 🥳
The integrated infotainment is the best not the tablet like infotainment which is a huge zonk for me.
Nice vehicle, however just a quick note, on the Cadillac escalade they do offer the diesel engine, in fact I have a relative who got sports ESV with diesel
Appreciate the good quality camera, Honda take note! My 2022 Civic Touring camera is garbage!
Hopefully inventory starts stacking up at dealers so we can see 10-15k off the MSRP. Some dealers are already doing it on trucks, but even with 10k off, you are in the 90k range. Total insanity!!! 120k SUV if you start clicking all the boxes. I don't know how people are buying these things with those massive MSRP prices, and 5-8% interest rates lol.
Over the competition, I’d choose this. Btw I think you’d look OUTSTANDING owning and driving one of this. Just sayin ❤️
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
MURAD form Toronto 🇨🇦👋👌
Very cool full size SUV. By the way, is it possible to watch movies like Utube on the front driver's enfortsinment screen like on the back TVs? Thanks
No it is not.
Great review! Maybe I missed it, but how was the suspension? And how does it compare to the ride comfort of the Navigator?
It is so freaking good! I highly recommend. Way better than a Navigator!
Beautiful truck! I feel this truck is for a old man retiree with all this luxury. Price don’t surprise me. Denali’s were always expensive lol.
Raiti, can you weigh in on the SUV versus minivan conversation? As big as this is (122.9 cu/ft of storage with the seats down), a minivan has more. Ex. Pacifica has 140.5. Most SUV owners don’t go off-road or need to tow something over 3500 pounds. People are paying $40-50k more for SUVs for less space and comparable luxury.
Both make a compelling argument within their respective specs.... to me it comes down to brand loyalty. They compete very very well
"Don't double stack them because if you do and slam it, cream will squirt everywhere." 😂😂😂😂
Congrats Steven
Great Review Joe! How does it compare with Grand Wagoneer?
Great review !!! Mine is on order same color -Love it-
Belo carro 🚗 americano 👍, Belo gigante sobre rodas 👍, bacana mesmo, gostei 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I think you meant to say is there in no coating over the wood trim or the wood trim is natural or "open pore" wood
Just an FYI, when you opt for the 3.0 Duramax diesel, the "fake" vents below the bumper that you zonked ARE open and active.
I'll still never get over how hard GMC/Chevy leather seats are. It's like sitting on a wood bench compared to competitors
WRONG.
Exactly, they don't compare to the Navigator seats
@rickberger3213 not even close. Navigator seats are so comfortable
Yessir I definitely believe so and I’ll even take the ultimate denali over the regular one. This one has a lot more fancier touches and all with it.
Twinkie jokes never get old !!👍👍
Joe, what is the name of the color on that Denali Ultimate you did at the auto show?
It's a zonk that the window surround also isn't the dark chrome. The ultimate gets the dark chrome in the grill, so why not everywhere else?
Does this vehicle have automatic folding side mirrors?
THE BEST! I will never buy anything else ever. Excited for 2024 but in purl white 😮
I absolutely love this vehicle ! Joe your the best man 👍🏼
Still my dream GMC SUV I wanted to afford.
Holy hell you’d expect a hell of a lot louder exhaust note from those pipes.
there should be like a Denali V/SS or something lol
This is a luxury SUV. Not a performance one.
@@Troy-fv9uq Quad pipes on a luxury SUV? Lol
@@Ethan_Alexandur sometimes just for show
Another great video.
Lincoln Navigator all the way!!!! So much more refined.
I love gmc yukon denali lot look good and Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real true and I love the video 👏 👍 💯💯💯💯💯
I have the exact same one.i must say it is a beautiful truck and worth every penny
Thank you for letting me share it with you!
I prefer the ride and power of the White Lincoln Navigator you tested 2 months ago. Looks..I am impartial but prefer the Yukon D slightly more. Interior definitely the Lincoln. The seats on our long haul are extremely comfortable where I found the seats to be harder like all GM trucks to be stiffer. We own both GM and Ford trucks so I am impartial. Reliability I believe the 6.2 Naturally asp. V8 would prove to be better over the long haul but at 75-100k I trade my vehicle's in.
Ok
Bought one. Love it
That is fantastic! Congrats!
Denali ultimates are nice can't wait for the 2024 denali ultimate 2500 I'm too excited for that one.
That is one attractive SUV. Don't understand why the Tahoe top trim doesn't have LED fog lamps light the Denali.
This thing is beautiful
Especially in this color.
Denali whips looks 🔥!!!
I own one ! With super cruise!
Joe I am from Sunset Park. I will be stopping in to see Giuseppe on 34 st! Get the GrandHighlander instead. Better resale value!
Love my Yukon Denali ❤
Ironically if you just discovered you have a kid you didn’t know about, there goes your Yukon Denali money.
