2018 GMC Denali Sierra 1500 Review, An Owners Perspective.4k 

GMC now has the Android Auto app with the GMC Denali. Thanks to Dubby Jr for pointing this out. Curt will be pleased to know. Beatings will now commence....

I will own a DENALI I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT TRUCK😍😍😍😍

Thank you for sharing and giving me information on the 2018 Denali. I really learn a lot from your video. bless you.

Great truck. Definitely getting this as my next truck 👍

The smile at 2:30 told me everything i need to know.... i'll take mine in black. Thanks, fellas.

May be 2021 but the 2018 is still my fav Key Ignition, no button to open the tailgate

AWESOME TRUCK!!!

Love this truck

Nice review. Looks a lot like my 2015 SLT. I plan on getting one of the 2019 Denalis 6.2 with 10 Speed Transmission when they're released.

This my honest review. A consumer who expects the best from the best at a reasonable price. I bought a GMC Denali 1500 model 2017. It is a beautiful truck and the performance is absolutely incredible. I elected to go with the 5.3 engine because I didn’t know how reliable the 6.2 litter are. The power of the 5.3 engine is great for my needs. I love GMC Denali; it was my dream truck. I considered other brands as well; but the luxury and comfort of this truck is second to none. One thing that I found weird is that the información of MPG is the same for both engine; since 5.3 litter is smaller than 6.2 litter, I thought the 5.3 was supposed to give you more MPG. I have used my car mostly in the city and I am getting around 17 MPG; I was getting the same in my Toyota Tacoma which was my previous truck with a considerable smaller engine. One thing that I haven’t still figured out yet is how to answer the phone using the components of the vehicle when I have it in. Bluetooth. To my surprise GMC still doesn’t offer the on start button. In opinion that feature should be a must for a truck with a price tag over 60K. Also, in order to increase sales GMC MUST find the way of creating more comfort in the passenger area. I have two kids, it will be more convenient to have more entertainment features. If Ford is doing it, why GMC is not. Also front wheel camera should be helpful as well I love my GMC and I will buy another one when the time comes. However I expect GMC to step up a little bit. Due to these facts I will give the truck 4.5 starts out of 5. Thanks

Great review. Just got mine last week. Red Quarts color. I have the iPhone X and it supports wireless charging as well, and the center console charger does work. So i can plug my phone in to use apple carplay and my wife can charge her iphone wirelessly in the middle!

I guess the fact that you bought another one despite the shake issue speaks volumes of your opinion of the vehicle. Appreciate it as I am on the verge of buying the SLT and am comparing to the F150 Lariat, which is nice but just not quite as nice. Has a little less tech and feels a little less well appointed inside. Thanks.

Good review.

I love my Yukon Denali but it’s time for a pick up truck

Man!! I need this for the winter. Michigans weather is terrible during the winter. A lot of slips and falls

very good review

We need another review like this for the 2024. I know you guys had the capital to buy the new one

This truck just got me through a blizzard that dropped 22” of snow. It’s a great truck if I can say so.

Just a tidbit, the GMC Sierra Denali also supports wireless charging (wireless chi charging) on the iPhone 8 and 10 models as well.

beast mode😎

I am a long time GM Fan. The denali is my favourite looking Pick up. However GM could be doing so much more with it.

I test drove an '18 Denali yesterday, and the inductive charging pad on the console worked on my iPhone 8 Plus, but the phone was a little wider than the pad, so it did not sit flat. I think the iPhone 8 and X are the only apple phones with inductive charging capability.

New to the channel. After owning many of these trucks, would you recommend them? I was dead set on a 2018 but after reading about all the transmission issues i am VERY hesitant about getting into a potential money pit like that. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you

I WANT ONE !!!!!!!

My 2003 Yukon XL Denali has rear seat heaters and AC, WTF GM? 2018 and in Texas you need AC in the back! Thanks for showing the shortcoming and how the Ford has it covered.

Thanks for the video. I have an 04 2500HD right now and was thinking about stepping up to something newer. Was looking at a 2015 Denali I found locally. Was there any major changes in the newer (17-18models) That's a must have? I would love to have Android Auto but wasn't sure if the 15's had that option. Going to look it in a few weeks if its still available.

Damn that's a nice truck. I gotta get myself one of them eventually. I'll probably wait a while, get a 2017 used and customize the piss outta it lol

Have a 18 Silverado High Country 6.2L it's a beast and will never go back to the 5.3L. I'm averaging 20 to 21 all day long combine and maybe 22 MPG highway that improved with the change of all fluids to Amsoil and no I'm not a dealer. Denali and High Country are very similar and the only difference is the grill and badging and magnetic ride.

Can someone tell me what the difference between a 2018 gmc sierra 2500 HD Denali and a 2018 gmc sierra 2500 HD high country? So far all I notice is the front ends look a bit different and the type of colour and leather.

Does the 2018 sierra have the somewhat concerning vibration/shaking issues I have heard about? Apparently pretty severe at around 60mph /100km per hour. Do the Full Octane Garage guys have any thoughts on the issue?

Any issues with the 8 speed transmission on these generations? And in the afm/dfm lifter issues that are associated with engine knock and failure at some point?? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!!

What are your thoughts on the 8 speed transmission? I hate it.

Much lb can towing this truck 9100 or 12500 lb

I bought the exact truck and I have several issues. My truck has the 22 inch wheels and the ride is good on the freeway but horrible when going over bumps etc. The charger does not work on my Iphone 6+. Mine is the 6.2 and gas mileage is about 19 average. Overall I'm not disappointed but not thrilled either with my truck.

There is a GoPro pointing towards the road, and the truck's dashboard. Don't think I saw any clips from that GoPro. Throughout the video, I saw both of you talking more than I saw the truck itself.

Any comments on the crazy transmission problem with the rough shifting from 1st to 2nd gear?

In your review you mentioned that wireless charging only works for Andriod, not true..... I have the same truck and it wireless charge my iPhone, also it has both apple car play and Andriod… I love my truck!!!

They need the new one to review

So I got a 18 Sierra Denali 5.3. I was under the impression you had to get the ultimate package to get the 6.2l?

Any input in regards to a 5.3 or 6.2? I can't decide on which one I want. It will be used for daily driving in Dallas, TX. Thanks!!!

It also has a different intake manifold. Ours makes better low end torque w our manifold.

What type of gas does this truck take v8 6.2 engine?? someone told me it has to be premium only

What’s a good down payment on a truck like this

I am considering a purchase on one of these (2018), however, I have read some negative feedback concerning the 8 speed transmission. Have you experienced any issues with the trans shuddering/clunking or excessively hunting for gears?

How much did you pay?

Gent's I'm just about to pull the trigger on an 2018 1500 Denali Shortbox, brand new. The only hesitation I have is the fact the the complete lack of climate control in the back seats. I have a couple of questions for you: Have you had any issues with defrost or fogged up windows in the rear cab because of the lack of vents? And, have you actually had a passenger express being overly hot or cool if you have the climate control on auto and you take a short trip (15 min or so) to a store. Basically how bad have you missed rear climate control? A lot? A little? Hardly noticed? Etc.

Does this model have the heads up display?

I got 2018

Can you get this truck in 4x4 not awd?

Would definitely be nervous that in a few years those steering wheel buttons will be cracked and peeling.

!The 1st to 2nd gear lag drives me crazy

its not the same motor you would find on corvette ,too bad, the cam shaft in the LT motor in a corvette or a camaro is much more aggressive , so the chevy sport cars makes away more HP compare to GMs Pick up and SUVs even if they have same displacement

Esta debenta

It has Android Auto It Basically Just Like Apple Play

Dont like the key, or no push to start. Dont like no air in the back.

Show the truck not 2 old geezers

I like that model better than new generation. The 2020 sierra looks ugly as hell!

Why on earth would you want a truck with that kind of power? To tow or to drag race? NO wonder all accidents/deaths occur in the large trucks.

Too many dam commercials. I'm out. Thumbs down.
