Teslas are so overpriced that it's ridiculous. You will probably have to hang on to a Tesla for six years to save any money on fuel expenses. Remember, it needs electricity to run and your electric bill (the biggest bill your house gets) will go up. And those saying it has "no effect" on the bill are LYING. Most of those reviewers are already making over $120K a year anyway. Joe Average wouldn't be able to afford a Tesla...

@@pryme2013 LOL, name a state where a property costs $110k and is NOT less than 1,000 sq ft? Every property in my ridiculous state costs $125,000 at the lowest. What do you get? a 30 year old house with ANCIENT slider bar a/c, a broken ceiling, NO garage, a driveway that has been broken in a million pieces and crappy clapboard interiors with a carpet that will definitely have to be replaced. And half of these houses have fugly popcorn ceilings that are cracked in several spots. So after fixing it up, the price will shoot up to $125-135K and remember, you STILL don't have a garage. That's why I haven't been able to find a house for the last two years...

Great video. What you didn’t mention, probably because it wasn’t equipped with it, is Super Cruise. Super Cruise comes on the Ultimate (when no chip issue occurs) and it is a game changer. It’s probably the biggest reason why I bought one - not cosmetic reasons but mechanical. I’d like to see more real-life use cases like the one here. Snow, cold, etc. Re: the running board. There is a setting that you can disable the retractable part and use the running boards in a fixed position. It’s under “Vehicle” in settings.

Sticker price overkill compared to saving 27K plus for nearly the same vehicle. I like the seat design with white piping. Integrated infotainment screen looks great compared to lower tier models. Honestly the AT4 XL loaded without power retracting steps sticker price 83,400 US with 5.3 which has enough power, max towing package. Or cost cut another 4k going with the Z71 suburban same options for 79K. Price is before wheeling and dealing, shop around. Tax and license, insurance costs could save an additional 2k to 4k the first year over the ultimate. GMs auto 4x4 mode is the best in the business. Driving around urban areas switching to rural residential and into town where some intersections are not plowed or icy keep your moving and help traffic flow. Otherwise your spinning wheels cause someone to slide into you with them not paying attention

I love the Vader chrome, but not the traditional shiny chrome. I wish they had replaced all the shiny chrome with the darker Vader and not just some of it. That raises a question. I know there is such a thing as an after market "chrome delete" job, blacking out all the chrome, pricey but good looking. Do you know, could I get a "chrome delete" job that instead of replacing the remaining shiny chrome with black, I could replace it with a match to the darker Vader chrome color? I think in this case that would look even better than an all black "chrome delete" job. Thanks, for the answer, by you or anyone who might know, and thanks for another solid review.

About the step may be GM should make it diseabling so it can stay in a fixed mode for the winter.

Love your snow country vids, this one included. Thanks. A question. Do you think those leather seats, the padding and side bolstering, are thick enough to be comfortable long distance driving? Not just 2 or 3 hours, but 6, 8 or more hours a day? I've been wondering about that. They just seem thin, but on the other hand I don't hear anyone talking extensively about this. Also, do you think this Yukon Denali Ultimate would handle bad snow stormy weather as well as the Yukon AT4? Other than the front and rear angles, I think they may be the same.

Lol 😂 This truck has the worlds fastest reacting suspension system, Google based infotainment experience, and can’t be beat in practicality or design. If you actually believe a loaded 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate should cost $40k then I wonder what you believe a Chevrolet Tahoe High Country should cost. $25k?? Because it’s a GM and has a bow tie or “GMC” badge out front you’re having a hard time justifying the price, am I correct? Even tho this truck is the benchmark for everyone in the segment😮. You people are absolutely delusional and hilarious. The type of technology found in this Yukon isn’t even available in luxury trucks from established luxury brands. Like I said, the Lincoln Navigator and Lexus LX doesn’t offer HALF of what you’re getting here. This is not only well worth the premium over a standard Denali, but it’s actually a good value too.

What are your thoughts on some of the new 4Auto transfer cases not having an actually locking mechanism? I’ve heard GM and Ford using these systems with only a clutch to route power but they don’t have the ability to mechanically lock a pawl to literally lock up. Ford’s Hi-Lock system in the Raptor and some Tremor models incorporate that but the remainder just use a clutch. I’m a bit weary of long term longevity or durability as C&D has experienced the truck kicking them out of 4Lo unexpectedly in the ZR2.
@wildbill23c
@wildbill23c Жыл бұрын
GM isn't the only one, and it isn't anything new...clutch based transfer cases have been around for decades. Longevity depends on how the system is maintained....most people skip the maintenance on stuff so with that said, they don't last forever, but with normal maintenance they aren't much of an issue. The clutch pack is in an oil bath, so its kept from being overheated. For most use they'll function just fine and last the life of the vehicle. Now if you are thinking its a system for extreme 4 wheeling, it is not. Its just a regular daily driver type system, on the highway, down a dirt/gravel road to the cabin type system. The 4Auto in my 2008 Ford Explorer works great and at 136k miles it hasn't had any issues. I can "lock" it into 4wd high or low range, but the clutch is what locks and engages the front axle, regardless which mode you are in.

@@wildbill23c oh interesting, didnt know this same type of implementation has been around for a while. I knew of some full time 4wd systems like in the Land Cruiser, but kinda thought those were either more uncommon or high end or that they actually locked up physically. Glad to hear they've been pretty well vetted, though seem now to be migrating to larger full size vehicles. Like you said though, should be fine for most uses though seeing such a system in the new Silverado ZR2 without full lock up capability makes me think that was a big cost cutting effort that enthusiasts may not like so much if wheeling hard.

@@ALMX5DP Every automaker has built some form or fashion of the "auto 4wd" for decades. All of them have some sort of clutch pack, open differential, or viscous coupler in the transfer case. There really isn't all that many transfer case companies out there, so most of them all share the same generic system. With the ZR2, most people never leave pavement with their vehicles, so yes, cost cutting measure, and sharing parts sources to keep the assembly line going, and cut the number of different parts they need for various vehicles...if you can use the same transfer case across a dozen vehicles it saves a lot of money across the board in parts, research and development, replacements, etc. Land Cruiser used an open center differential in earlier models so you had full mechanical connections, Jeep was the same with their selec-trac 4WD systems in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee....the Land Cruisers now have a clutch pack in the transfer case for their 4WD "Auto", or full time mode. Low range uses a shift collar to engage the gear reduction for the low range, but the clutch pack is still the physical connection to the front and rear axles....and yet they want almost $90k for one....and, people offroad with them, so the systems are pretty well designed in the heavier duty application market....sounds like GM took a very light duty transfer case and put in the ZR2 if its kicking out of low range, that is a mechanical shift issue with the shift fork, or shift collar or both.

The four wheel auto is amazing. I use it all the time. I just used it today in my 2019 Silverado temp is 1 degree, and ice everywhere. You can slightly hear more drivetrain noise, but such an amazing and intuitive feature, allows you to drive normal around corners without binding. No other truck has it, with others, you need to use 4 high, which binds on pavement. So sad about the chip shortage. Great review. The electric step has a sensor that keeps it from damaging the body from crushing ice against it. Once melted it will fully retract. Smart engineering.

All electric steps are susceptible to failure due to snow/mud build up. Mud flaps / splash guards will minimize that risk and help protect paint.

Mud flaps/splash guards are hideous on these rigs (any car honestly). Yuck! Adjust the retractable steps in the vehicles settings and have some class. This is a Denali after all folks, I’m not about to adorn my exterior with black plastics. Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Do you know, comparing the comfort of the leather seats, especially on long drives, if it is any different between this new Denali Ultimate and a loaded regularly Denalil? I believe the leather itself has been upgraded in the Ultimate, but I do not know if that is primarily just appearance or maybe surface touch, or if the padding and bolstering is any different, and as a result, the comfort is any different between the two, especially on long drives, do you maybe know? Thanks. And on a different topic, do you know if the Denali, Ultimate or regular, has any advantage over the Escalade driving is cold, stormy, snowy ski country, or if they are basically the same in that environment?

The trouble with GM full-size SUV is that they're not true off-road. Jeep gives you all that luxury, features, and comfort, but comes with TRUE off-road prowess. The Denali is a capable SUV, but needs to be priced under 100 grand to be attractive and competitive. It can't priced that close to the Cadillac. Anyway, I am definitely "that guy" when it comes to maxing out the options. I only consider fully-loaded version. Give me all the bells and whistles or go home. In any event, I get it, if you're a big guy you want to be comfortable and need the room. But I'm good in almost any car so I'd take a step down to the next level if that's the one I can afford maxed out.

I'm happy with my 2021 Suburban Z71. I wish I had got the air springs for trailering, and I wish it had seats like the Yukon AT4. The auto steps can be set to stay out, or stay in for the winter months for exactly the reason you identified. So they don't get gummed up. You can essentially make them "fixed" steps.

Power steps are garbage. Even in warm areas they fail. I don’t even like steps. I wouldn’t even have them on my new silverado 2500 which is much taller than this but I have small humans that need them. They are fixed and accumulate a ton of slush and crap which ends up all over the garage floor when it melts.

They drive and handle well with good road manners for their size ,.fuel economy,..well you wouldn't be looking at one if thats high on your priority list . Unfortunately I don't think they're worth the money . $110K on a depreciating asset . kind of a hard sale to me. Now if someone gave me one for free,..watch my tune change!!
