I pick mine up tomorrow. I don't think I will be sleeping much tonight 😂.

Anyone with negative feedback about the tailgate has never used one, they are so functional! I will never own a truck without a magic tailgate from now on.

Nice video, thanks for taking the time to create it. I'm just over a year on a 2024 2500 AT4, about 35k miles. I concur with much of what you said - appearance, ride quality, tire pressure, leather quality, etc. I am often doing 3-4 hour commutes and this truck is very comfortable - floating along as you described it is pretty accurate. It tows my large boat with ease.

That being said GM really dropped the ball in my mind with the interior "tech" and driver interface. I often tell people that it looks like it was crafted by Thor's hammer on the outside and laid out by a drop out in their parents basement on the inside.

The inexcusable gear shift screen block and lazy use of the center console space (and 1500 knob shifter location). The location of the hazard, tailgate, etc. buttons are prone to be hit right by the storage. The sunroof has to be closed to be opened fully. Until fixed, my tailgate was dropping while in motion with no warning. The Google driven subscription required interface is terrible. It is a lazy cop out instead of creating a system for the truck, it is essentially a 4+ year old Kindle. It is Android 10, which is years old and not even supported by Google anymore. It allows almost zero customization, color changes, outside apps and uses 2/3 of the screen with the remainder being a digital analog clock or Google home page. Can't get Maps or roadway speeds without a subscription and despite shutting off many of these apps, you are still prompted frequently to "subscribe". I didn't buy a google truck! Unfortunately Google Auto is just as bad, but I was able to fix the screen by installing a stand alone Android box which makes the screen and interface what it really should be. The interior lighting is terrible, no glove box lights, no door lights or other meaningful ambient lighting. Just 4 small dome lights. Inability to change chimes (or remove them), inability to access the turn signal camera unless you are connected to a trailer. The bed plug is worthless for anything over probably 5 amps (power tool charger or something). I could go on, but you get the idea.

Truly a love / dislike for me. I'd give it a 7 out of 10, the exterior appearance, comfort, ride quality and towing capability making up all of that score. They could have easily had a 10+ if they had just properly done the interior updates and tech instead of just slapping on a screen with an outdated operating system.

I just got a 2024 3500 8’ foot bed dually and in my opinion it’s the best truck on the market!!! I wasn’t going to get the ultimate but I found a deal in Arkansas that was giving $10, 000 off the MSRP and so I flew out from New Jersey to pick it up and drive it home and I am really amazed by this truck. I have not bought a luxury vehicle ever in my life yet and this is my first one at 56 years old. I thought it was time to take a jump and I’m glad I did it!

Mine has been just fine, daily driver and long trips often. Haven’t had any problems and hope to keep it that way.

Hey Gabriel not sure if you are still reading comments on this video but, would like to say fantastic job on these videos my man I absolutely love your truck. I have a 1500 AT4 with the 6.2 soon to get a 2500 but I highly suggest getting a dash cover on the truck. Yes the quality on the dash have been upgraded in the years but just to keep it even more in pristine condition get a dash cover. There’s a lot out there I heard the brand “Dash designs” is a good one plus there’s different materials and colors to choose from. My uncle had it on his truck and it feels great and looks nice and protects it more. Just a thought if you were interested in look at. Just make sure to get the right exact one for your truck. 👌

Youre one of the lucky ones, so many issues with these all over diff forums, fb groups, etc

My GMC Sierra is getting its valve lifter oil manifold seal replaced, just got a new oil pan, and next up is rear main seal. 147, 000 miles. Hope your truck lasts a little longer.

I got the SLE. I've had it for a year myself. Had the same issues with the trans but it seemed to fix itself (or i did). I went with the gasser, i needed more payload. 3500lb is my payload. I have a crew cab with the 8' bed x31. She is a big girl. Fully loaded with all the packages, i had it built. The tailgate is one of my favorite things, ill never go back. I haven't done the recall yet.

The only thing i dont like is the plug in the bed. It doesn't work. Not that it doesn't work, it does work only if you want to plug in a battery charger. I wanted to run shop vac, saws, compressor, ect.

You do have a beautiful truck thx for sharing.

Denali is the best truck on the road. Very nice and looks are killer. I will be trading my RAM for the 2025 AT4 2500, I can’t wait.

I got my 2024 Duramax Sierra 3500 CC X31 in May of 2023. I now have 21k for mileage and love the truck. The tailgate is great. Didn't think I needed and boy was I wrong. My best mileage was 26 on a 200 mile road trip. I'm getting about what you are overall.
Thanks for the video.

[ChristianMoore-tx]

Thanks for your review. I have this truck and my issue is w/ the infotainment system, where my system will turn on but w/o any sound. No sound from the radio, from the blinkers when they're on and resetting it doesn't work. Have you not had this issue at all w/ your Ultimate? Thanks again for your review.

I drove out to IL last Monday to pick mine up. Downpour Metallic Blue. Had a great 900 mile break-in ride home on Wednesday. Love the truck. Thanks for your other videos. They were a great source of info when researching. Also, thanks for the tip on the air pressure. Going to drop mine a few pounds this weekend before a trip down to DC on Monday.

Banks is still working on the cold air intake and the tuner, they are not out yet, patiently waiting, got there intake horn and boost tubes and map sensor relocator, waiting for the second one because there is 2 on this truck, also have a couple of idash gauges on it, I do love mine 12" lift 38" tires its an eye catcher and pulls like a dream

[Thisshitisbs]

Best bed cover I’ve ever had was the Gator tonneau cover cheap works well looks great light and easy to remove and install

[Niki-]

I installed a Diamondback HD bed cover on my 3500 Ultimate and LOVE it. Love the look and the function. Easy access to the front of the bed, able to ratchet down kayaks to the top of the bed cover (and walk/stand on the bed cover) Highly recommend.

[VState]

Just scooped my 2024 Denali Ultimate 1500 and love your videos! Don’t mind the haters…they just drive plastic Fjords with Mattel-made interiors. 🎉🎉

[Alexander-frkk]

I have the Tricoat white SRW 3500 and clear-bra’d the front, ceramic coated the paint, decked system in the bed and will be getting an ARE topper.

[robhackett]

Transmission failure on my 21 at 65, 000 miles. Pretty common problem. Had known suspension issues also repaired under warranty. I’d recommend trading before drivetrain warranty goes out or get extended warranty.

[adamk]

Thank you! Tundra lover here, considering something larger. Great video, and that tailgate is fantastic!
