Bro, I live in Romania and my neighbour who is a wealthy farmer has one of these. I cannot comprehend how big it is, in a country where the 5 series looks like a huge car

I went from not knowing the term “relief map” to becoming an expert in relief maps thanks to Doug saying it ____ times in 7 minutes. Always learning something from Doug!

For $85k I would expect a lot more mechanical upgrades, like load leveling air suspension rather than leaf springs in the rear. It’s weird to me that aside from the adaptive dampers, this truck is mechanically identical to a $58k Silverado RST 6.2L 4x4. I just don’t see how supercruise, some wood trim, fancy leather and a few more interior electronics are worth $27k.

"Grandpa, why did civilization collapse?"

"Well, we spent $90, 000 on luxury pickup trucks"

the most “work” 95% of these trucks will do is going to Home Depot to carry 5 bags of mulch or going to kids baseball practice.

It’s crazy to see how far GM’s interiors have come in the past 10-15 years. Who remembers the climate control buttons in mid-2000s GM trucks and SUVs that would fade over time?

Looking forward to the review on that Aston... Def one of the weirdest luxury cars ever made being based on the iQ.

[GIZMOTHEFATWOLFVT]

As far as interior goes I'm highly impressed GM has been using that same interior design for over a decade which honestly doesn't grab me as a consumer and the old interior design and features were so lackluster but now they truly updated the look and it doesn't feel cheap and feels like a genuine luxury truck.

I actually like when he goes into detail about the Doug score, Doug bring that back!

“We have no money”
“Let’s mortgage our future on a Denali ultimate”

Those are not called relief maps. They are topographic maps. Topographic maps use contour lines to connect areas of the same elevation to create two-dimensional models. What makes relief maps different than other maps is the emphasis on the three-dimensional elevation of topography, often using shadowing which is oftentimes exaggerated for visual effect.

Went back three years to watch the ram 1500 limited video. that thing was $65, 000 and was nicer than this truck. it’s unbelievable how much prices have changed over 3 years.

I have a 2010 Ford F-150 Platinum and it has a lot of the interior features that this 2022 GMC Denali Ultimate has. Including the heated rear seats. Outside of the advanced computerized driving features, high end trucks haven't changed a whole lot in 12 years. For nearly doubled the price, you get a fancy cruise control and a slightly bigger screen.

[nathanseleno]

Missed one of the coolest quirks! If you press the panel on the back of those running boards they articulate backwards so that you can use them as a step into the bed via the side. One of the coolest unknown quirks that pretty much no owner knows of.

[PapaGean]

I feel they should get rid of the rear seat storage on Ultimate and replace with vented rear seats like in the higher trim Rams.

[marcss]

For $85K I was expecting a supercharged V8 instead of the same engine as the regular Denali.

[palecitron]

The fact that it doesnt come with cooled seats in the rear nor doesnit offer pano sunroof its just a bummer not to mention for $85, 000 you really cant justify that cost

[izzyguy]

Hey Doug, Ford technician here, just wanted to let ya know that big screen has been introduced into the 21-22 model year F150 platinum trim.
