I can’t believe we are at a point in time when a truck costs 100k… this is nuts.

And here I bought a 2016 2500HD Duramax High Country with the 3 tone brown leather interior, every available option - and when it was brand it was $67K. How have we are at $100K for the same running gear pretty much, but a different dash and display unit. It’s just insane what the prices of trucks has come to. Lift it, new wheels and tires, and a couple more good things and boom, yours at $150K. That’s crazy.

What's 5k on 90k.....absolutely nothing People buying these trucks aren't gonna care about the gas money difference.....they will buy what they want Beautiful trucks!

BOTH ARE GORGEOUS. TOO MUCH THO. SOMETIMES IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY ITS ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL.

Great Video. I know My pick between these two trucks. Great Job 👏🏼

Really helpful video, thanks. I had not considered the "plain" Denali previously and have only been shopping the Ultimate. With everything shown here I don't plan to change my decision, but the well presented comparison makes me feel better!

Great detailed video! Thank you for all the information you shared.

I have the Ultimate 2500 HD and I absolutely love it, 5k more and you get such an upgrade in interior and it was so worth it to me. Highly, highly recommend this truck.

Thank you, I was looking at both and was trying to figure it out.

Thanks for the vid. Yeah. I am trying to decide between these two. Currently have a 2018 2500 High Country with the duramax.

I got the regular Denali with the reserve package, Power steps, Color matched fenders & upgraded black rims. I did this because I wanted all black interior. 5k for massage seats, Vader chrome & a kicker speaker, didn't make sense to me. Mine optioned out it just under 93k. This was an order cancellation, so I was able to snatch it up. I might have taken it if an Ultimate had been available for prompt delivery. Purchased it last week but had to wait for the rims. I picked it up yesterday. Absolutely love it!

Thanks for a very insightful video. Since this may be my last truck purchase I am probably going to go with the Ultimate. Honestly -- it deserves the name Ultimate based on the interior alone. I have not seen so nice an interior on a GMC truck. The last one I had that was as nice was a Ford F-350 King Ranch.

Great concise comparison. Thanks for this.

I bought the Ultimate , it's a great looking truck. After looking at the white I'm glad I got the black.

Great job explaining! Thank you 🙏🏻

A 100,000 dollar home , if you keep it up and maintained will grow in value. A 100,000 dollar truck will only decrease in value , even if you keep it up and add extras to it like exhaust lift better tires and rims and so on so. it dont make sense buying a 100,00 dollar vehicle, or it dont make sense that a vehicle cost that much especially a truck that are made to work with. but this is a crazy world we live in.

Great detailed video!

I went with the Ultimate, really like the interior and feel it’s worth it.

We ordered the 2024 3500HD Denali and items that used to be include with the Denali pkg, are now optional extra cost, but included with the expensive Ultimate. Not worth the cost.

The ‘embossment’ on the leather is the topographic map of Denali.

I liked the video. Very helpful in making decisions. I like the ulti.ate cause I drive alot of miles

Im buying the ultimate very soon.. i currently have the 2019 denali 1500 with ultimate package. Time for a upgrade

Insightful video!

Special ordering me a ultimate Denali in Black do like the color match wheel molding!! 😊

I love my Ultimate. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Amazing tech, never thought I'd use super cruise, I use it all the time. Best riding vehicle I've ever owned and my wife drives an Escalade.

Can’t decided which one to go for, currently have a ‘21 Elevation so already a big step up to a 2500 he but sorely needed for work. Too many times i found myself with not a big enough truck. Also depends on the wait time for an Ultimate as they are hard to come by in my area.

I'm buying the Ultimate next year!

Curious why the power steps didn’t drop on the standard Denali when you opened the drivers door

I ordered the ultimate and cant wait to lift the rig. you also missed one other exclusive option and thats the vader chrome.

I'd be more than happy with the base 3/4 ton Sierra crew cab with some nice aftermarket wheels and bigger tires!

You did a good job explaining both trucks. I want the ultimate but I want the crome front end. Which I assume is NOT available, correct?

Can you get different RIMS on both of those trucks? They are hideous if I'm honest but I love the rest of the truck.

Don’t complain to the truck manufacturers. Complain to your government. Trucks aren’t worth more. Your dollar is worth less!!!!!

Those wheels and the brake controller location is going to save me some money 💰 this year….not a fan Run my 2022 for a bit longer

StaCan you get wheel trim moldings on the standard Denali dually?

Not sure why they dropped the side bolster adjustments only to add them to the ultimate. my 2003 and 2005 trucks have them

Got a Sterling Metallic Ultimate 3500 being built right now, thankfully no dealer markups

I'm sorry if I've missed it and I've watched this video a couple times but do you know the exact color of these vehicles?

This the way I see it, the denali should have been what the ultimate is anyway, it's always been the top of the line but, if they can get somebody to pay for the "ultimate" name, it's on the buyer🤷🏾‍♂️

Definitely should compare the at4 with them.

For those looking for a gas 2500 Denali Ultimate interior you can essentially do that now that the AT4X has come out.

i love GMC Yukon Denali both models & Cadillac escalade # ❤❤🇵🇰

Are the seats in the Denali Ultimate softer or more comfortable? Or do they just have the massaging seat feature but other than that feel the same?

Really like everything about the Ultimate, nice build except the black chrome. Black chrome seems a current trend / fad… To an ‘old guy, Chrome is classic style.

That's just like, if they can get a person to buy a High Country over a LTZ, when they the same truck, it's on the buyer.

I’m getting the Denali ultimate ❤

Funny to me how time change use to the l It's the ultimate or any the paint out truck would've the beginning stages. An the chrome is what made the higher level trim an the painted it not bugs an stuff have the paint chiped where the chrome will look new still

For that kind of money, where is the power tilt\telescopic steering and power pedals?

where is the sub at, i have a 2021 denali and i wonder where they found the room.

Love the Ultimate but don’t like the black chrome. They should offer the Ultimate with regular chrome!

What about safety features? Different packages?

My question is why not delete all the chrome? Mirror caps color match door handles? Running boards.

Thank you

I’d go for the ultimate 5k more and you get better audio and massaging seats, but I like the trim look of the Denali

I wish I could get the Ultimate with a gas engine and chrome grill.

Do you think you could custom order the Denali ultimate with a gas engine?

Go for the ultimate because both of them have almost the same thing so what's the difference $2 more maybe but I'll stay with my ultimate worth my money

for me I just can't stand the brown interior, I currently have the old 17 Denali ultimate 1500 and was looking to trade it in for an hd but just can't do the brown interior, but it's not only that, the prices have gone insane, plus the def problems with the exhaust and the price to repair that I have heard about just turns me off with diesel now a days. guess I will have to wait. but I also have been happy with truck so far. bought it at the end of 2019 with 25k miles on it, now has 98k miles and all I have done has been oil changes and brakes, guess I got lucky.

Power running board on Denali said "nah bro" when he opened driver door

See if you can show the Ultimate 3500 SRW with Redwood Metallic color….Preferably on a Sunny 😎 day.

Is it possible to get the ultimate without a sunroof?

Can you put a long bed on the Ultimate?

If GM offers the 6.6 gas engine in the Denali ultimate hd I would buy it

At my local dealer in Albuquerque NM they quoted me 104,000 for a denali Ultimate w/ color match trim is that the gouge price or is that the normal price compared to other states?

Verry nice 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

Great comment’s. JUST SLOW DOWN SPEAKING PLEASE.

2020 is when GMC really made good changes on this truck/2023 they added 40 more horsepower

THE BEST CARS 👌👌👍👍

When is GM going to do a panoramic sunroof?

Any mention of super cruise? Is that exclusive to the ultimate?

I had the regular gmc sierra

The ultimate has darkened chrome everything.... except for the upper part of the mirrors. Weird.

The steps alone and I’m getting a fiberglass cap

I got 2 ultimates yesterday. They ight

The ultimate has speakers in tailgate. You missed it

Not impressed with the less than full ceiling sunroof for 100k.

Ultimate Denali

Neither. I have a yellow lab that sheds hair and would scratch the leather. In TX, the leather will burn you in 100 degree heat and will crack in a few years. Love the design, but premium cloth is the way to go. My current 10yr old Duramax with premium cloth seats do not have a single rip or tear after 10yrs…with dogs jumping on them. They do collect dog hair but that can be cleaned. I spent $45k on my Duramax 10 years ago and with 220k miles still runs like new. To pay 100k for a new truck in my opinion is excessive.

Should have tvs in the seats.

Denali Ultimate vs AT4?

I just feel this is not fair knowing that the denali is top of the line and feel they took away from it and put it on the ultimate denali.

90k for a truck is crazy.

I rather get a 2016-2019 denali 2500

It's nice, but my 22 ram 1500 limited interior still blows it away. 19 speaker Harmon audio, full panoramic roof and full air ride. Gm still has a long way to catch up

Wow a 100 grand for a pickup truck I don't know who is buying these but they don't work where I work that's for sure no way possible

is super cruise not an option on these trucks?

Blows my mind that a truck that was 40k 20 years ago is 100k

The ultimate should have no chrome option.

I will go with the Toyota a better truck, with better reliability and a lot cheaper on fuel. Plus it holds resale value much better infact the best in pick-ups

12 years ago a fully loaded diesel pickup would be 65k !! And to me that was still a lot of money. Now 2023 truck are going for 100k !? That just mind boggling.? GM, Ford,Ram need to chill on pricing these trucks to high. Now not even the middle class can’t afford a damn truck.. this is just sad and what more sad is the 3rd class can’t afford shit. I see them still with a 1990 cars and trucks witch is not bad but come on now.! A lot hads gone up😮

90-100k and no panoramic sunroof ? hmmm......

It's amazing how ALL manufacturers are asking about 70% to much for there products, the main problem with domestic vehicles is the reliability i owned a loaded Avalanche northface edition, it was the biggest POS it fell apart, numerous electrical issues, ball joints, transfer case issues, it went on and on. This truck/suv only had around 40k on it. GM didn't do a effing thing for the repairs. I want a company that uses the terms DEPENDABILITY AND DURABILITY @ the $$$ they are asking. Not to mention how much PLASTIC IS IN ALL NEW VEHICLES. only Toyota can hold value I WONDER WHY???? ,Maybe because you can drive a Tundra and get 300k before any major part needs attention! Yes I own a tundra and I'm at 305k and it's a 2017 I travel for my job GM ARE YOU LISTENING

City truck and city truck ultimate

Nice trucks - wheels are hideous 🙈🙈🙈

At4 is much nicer looking that big chrome grill went out with the bee gees.

No panoramic sunroof. No sale

I think GMC should have kept the same wheel well opening style as the Chevrolet.

It don’t matter if is 100K it will make me money 💰 a Ferrari it will not make you any money? I’m buying a gmc Denali truck soon 👍🏼

So expensive crazyyy

It is nicer than japan cars/trucks
