Refresh coming next year of this also

Double Amen….

That is a professional grade take.

I guess it killed you after you wrote the comment.

@@misternordberg3675 -- the only thing more professional-grade disappointing than MARK, is contemporary wanton abuse of the word "literally."

@@seriouscatisserious and the only thing worst then that, is people that are pedantic and pretend to not understand the meaning of hyperbole. here's to you, @misternordberg3675.

@@ggggg-fo2xq incorrect

@@ggggg-fo2xq how does it feel to be so wrong?

"too urban?" "Y'know what I'm sayin'...I don't mean it that way..."

I wish I had a friend like that. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

Because Mark is all business

He threw him under the minivan. 😄 And he likes it there. Lots of interesting tech to talk about.

The funny thing is, that seemingly crushing critique of it could also be translated into "Totally fine for old people with hearing aid." - At least as long as you can reduce the bass. It's probably the same cynical-pragmatic marketing design approach as with piano black as superficial fancy and how that impression sells cars: Old people tend to be unable to hear high frequencies, so it is safe to save money there. (But it's still a bit appalling for that price class, because even for a big hunk like that it is high-end pricing.)

In my opinion, it's the second most important thing about any car!

No one cares about other peoples’ kids. Your kids are nothing special, I assure you.

The kind of guy that will marry a gal and she’ll make him have half a dozen kids lmao

Or has children and knows exactly what he’s saying. As a father of 2 toddlers, I absolutely relate to his choice of words. 😂

i hate kids

He just wants rwd BMWs

LOL depreciation gage. That’s hysterical. Lucky if it’s worth $50k in 5 years

Depreciation gauge? You might want to check resale values of these.

Lmao depreciation gauge, does it work in tandem with the amount of antidepressants the driver is currently on?

​@@insayn7995 not sure what you're seeing, but I'm seeing ~35k on ~5 year old trucks? The trim level is not the same, but 50k for this yacht in 5 years seems about right.

@@MegaNardman And he's judging it by the post supply-chain/pandemic used car values.

I don’t mind sketches, but I see a lot of KZfaqrs now who stuff their videos with really terrible sketch comedy, and I’d honestly rather skip that stuff. I like the balance they have here where the humor is integrated into their reviews such that you know they have something good to say.

Jack was born in a Yukon

🤣🤣

You must be old then

It's for the people who want an American made pickup or SUV without the chewing tobacco and my 600lb life stigma

The fact that GM enables this sad excuse for a brand to continue sucking up showroom space is an insult to everyone

Soccer moms

It seems to middle and upper middle class people on lease I get run down by these all the time doing 60 in a 40 by some woman late to get her kids

They make money hand over fist for GM.

Or for families of 3 needing the space and a heavy duty frame to carry around their ego.

Perfect for people who actually wanted a family and need to tow the camper

@@MrCarGuy which will, of course, never happen, hence they’d be better off in a Genesis or any given luxury sedan that would get twice the gas mileage.

If you like it nasty, maybe you don't want to use a condom.

@@MrCarGuy That gets towed once a year.

Totally agree, I think this interior is great. Kind of a ski lodge, gadgety/tactical feel, unpretentious in attitude and honestly even somehow that makes me appreciate some of the more durability-minded (read: "cheap") material choices - the shot where the rear center console was all scuffed up from feet makes it feel believable as a family vehicle, not so precious as a "true" luxury vehicle. And of course a decades-proven lineage of this platform and engine, with a big V8 - I can dig it.

Before that lol

It looks like every GM truck interior since 2014

@SilentServiceCode hey my dad had a 2002 Silverado and his brother had a 2003 Escalade Truck...the Escalade was actually pretty badass, you felt cool driving around in it - but I was always surprised that it had the EXACT same interior as the Silverado but with some insanely fake wood grain pieces glued on!

​@@SilentServiceCode GMC in a nutshell: Chevy quality for Cadillac money

Why are you talking about me, bro?

I was thinking the same. No better quality than my ‘96 Trans Am 😂

It just doesn't scream 100 grand

It's called armor All

I noticed that right away also. The hard plastic looks like the cheap 90s plastic. They need a new embossing.

100% agree would like to see more memes in the future videos

That part had me laughing

"professional-grade" - He might have meant that Mark would critique the car into a wreck.

I have an 07 that I bought for 3500$. What the hell are these prices.

I bought a 2002 Denali new. Kept it for 17 years and 380k miles. AutoRide went out somewhere around 100k and i never got it repaired. Didn't really need it since I never towed and the ride was still quite good. Center coupling had to be replaced 2x, and it was in need of a second transmission rebuild when i got rid of it. Also there was significant rust under the running boards. Engine still wasn't burning/leaking a drop of oil though. Best vehicle I'd ever owned to that point. Definitely got my money's worth.

Harshest repair bills too.

Well this thing will haul much more than the LC - in terms of pax and tow - so apples/oranges. That said if they were similar, I'd go with a less than 5 year old LC compared to a new one of this. In 10 yrs LC will be fine and this will be in the junkyard.

@@Bren39 Since the LC300 is not sold in the US we can compare the Lexus LX with the Yukon Denali Ultimate now that they are similarly priced. The LX600 can tow max 8000 lbs which is the same as the max 8000lbs tow rating of the Denali Ultimate. The LX has a payload rating of 1565 lbs meanwhile the Denali Ultimate has a payload rating of 1616 lbs an advantage of 51 lbs. Yes the Denali has more space to put more stuff but weight wise you're not going to haul a ton more. And also the Denali Ultimate comes standard with panoroof which pretty much makes hauling cargo on the roof useless unlike the LX.

Rarely do I see corvettes at the track… Rarely do I see convertibles with their tops down… Rarely do I see S class sedans driven by a chauffeur… Etc. Why does this angle only work truck type vehicles? People can’t purchase dozens of different vehicles for the dozens of different ways they might ever use one. But the internet sure loves to tell people what they need and how to spend their money anyway.

​​@@upshifter5316ecause rich people and/or "luxury brands" get a pass for conspicuous consumption but working people and their brands dont The people commenting with their snark surely don't need their iPhones when a $200 android will just do, right?

@@upshifter5316 @palebeachbum ...taking it a step further... rarely do I see economy cars hyper mile-ing... I mean why do I see people trying to drive economy cars fast? They were made for fuel economy. Anyway, that comment gets so old. I used to have a F250 diesel that I always kept mint and of course I drove it alone as it was my main vehicle for 90% of the time. However, it also towed my 16k lb fifth wheel travel trailer occasionally across the country. It went on construction sites. It moved all kinds of stuff. Yet, 90% of the time people saw a nice clean F250 with a single person driving it. Right now I have a mint new Denali 1/2 ton pickup. Drive it solo 95% of the time, and always pristine. Yet I've moved the belongings of a house with it, towed my car and belongings in a large cargo trailer that I also own, brought down tree's/limbs. Yet, you and everyone else are most likely to see me driving it alone, in detailed condition; and some observer somewhere will use that as an example of someone who just owns a truck for no reason, "and it's not even dirty".

Says a commenter who's probably flown plenty of times and enjoyed all sorts of conspicuous consumption. Everyone in these glass houses needs to stop throwing stones and shut the fuck up.

@@skoparweaver7692 conspicuous consumption is not my style. I'm not sure what flying on packed commercial flights has to do with conspicuous consumption anyway.

No highs no lows must be BOSE.

Why do they still exist?!

It does still have this feature!

That's most heavy duty transmissions especially if you drive them like the typical customer base all out and unforgiving

Ahh the classic 4L60e, I’m almost certain this trans is based on that old ass design. The motors are good for 300k but you’ll blow up the transmission 3x before you get the truck there lol

@@l00tur that just means a steady supply of LS engines for swaps

@@TwoDollarGararge no more needing to take them from the usual cargo vans eh?

I mean, the people that buy these sometimes do buy different versions of this whenever they replace their family car...I have an aunt that went from a mid trim Yukon XL, then an XL Denali, a newer XL Denali, and now has an Escalade ESV. And Denali specifically definitely has luxury Brand cache in the suburbs...

@@ryannatividad3137 I think that cache existed circa 2005 when the Sopranos was still running 😂 or maybe it's just in Detroit now

Only one. But they'll do it again when the other side blows its load two weeks later.

@@jonesjones7057 Good old AFM. At least the heads come off real easy.

I have to agree. There is a good reason that every livery company employees a fleet of these things.

When I hear "body on frame", why do I think of anorexia? 😆

I just wish the hood wasn't so damn high

You don’t get the reality of the size of this thing without Mark standing next to it. Jack being on the talk side makes this brick seem somewhat moderate, size wise. We need our star manlet to really invoke the feeling of massive when reviewing SUVs & Trucks.

I generally think very few people actually can justify needing these types of vehicles. They are mostly used as suburban commuter vehicles, but at least they are now legitimately nice, comfortable cars instead of the lipstick-on-a-pig, gussied-up plasticky work trucks from the early 2000s era...

This crowd is still around....it's just evolved into something a whole hell of a lot stupider

Yes... the review would have more legitimacy if Jack was wearing a T shirt with a wolf's head on it instead

I bet you could park your Miata in the trunk of this behemoth!

No matter the lipstick applied, it’s still a GM product. GM may have a solid V8 but everything else is Great Value quality-wise.

@@l00tur And yet the car is shockingly expensive.

@@Dowlphin I’m sure some of those costs are due to paying folks a good wage to build these road tanks. In reality, that may only contribute to maybe 30% of the cost of the vehicle.
