2019 GMC Denali Sierra 1500 LONG TERM Review, An Owners Perspective 4K 

Full Octane Garage did you have like clucking noise coming from the back of your truck? I just purchased a 2020 Denali I took it the the Dealer and they said it was normal. It sounds like it’s coming from the leaf springs

And so it starts you have no idea how bad these trucks are. And the clunking will never be fixed. Gm will just try to wear you out. You have bought a financial nightmare

I was a loyal GM customer for years (decades actually, and I grew up in Detroit), until they took our tax money to “survive” and opened factories in China with it. Additionally, the last 6 GM vehicles that I have owned in the past, and one Ford, were all marginal (at best), most were even less, (service call queens), with respect to quality and reliability. I went to Toyota, I have a 2019 CrewMax Limited 4x4, and I wont look back. My Tundra is great, I have no issues with it at all. And I also have peace of mind knowing that the Tundra is rated as the most reliable truck on the American road. In 2019 Tundra was also the truck with the most American content of any 1/2 ton truck sold in the USA, including made with America steel and aluminum from American mills. Unlike Toyota, most of those GM vehicles are made with Chinese parts and steel, and assembled in Mexico; if made in their remaining US or Canadian factories, they are made with inferior labor practices by idiots from the UAW. No thank you to GM, Ford or FCA - or whatever their new French owner (Peugeot) calls them now.

A tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.

@Cain Thomas Yup, have been using flixzone} for since november myself :)

Right on! Just a follow up at 50k miles... no issues.

Have you had any reliability issues?

thanks John!

U average 16 mph!? If your driving that slow might as well get a bike!!🤣🤣

Mark Bowman mpg genius

@@drakeanton2000 Yeah they had it mph before they edited it GENIUS!!👍 You almost Had me!!🤫🤫

@Rex Schwab for a new truck with a v8 and 420 horses and not broke in yet. That's not bad gas mileage

You will have issues.

We love the acceration of the 6.2... definitely an improvement over the 5.3

Just went by the dealer for a computer reprogram (the auto lights and the lane keep assist failed) and saw they are discounting the 2019 Denali by $10K now!

@@Fulloctanegarage What dealer are you going to? I might be interested in getting one.

How many miles are on it?

Ross Strom Thanks. I love that color also. Doesn’t show dirt like the black

2.7 5.3 or 3.0 ?

6.2

Awesome! Thank you!

John Carson thanks! We use Waze thru AppleCar Play for Navigation and it does zoom automatically

thanks Man... she keeps me motivated

thanks! #drivingwithmelissa

She thicc lol

Great point! 10 speed

Totally agree

It will make a small deduction in the payment. IMO the GMC holds its value so well it is more of a Buy rather than Lease... You are much less likely to find yourself upside down 3 years down the road if you were to sell it. It you trade every couple years tho, Leasing may be a good option. Thanks for watching Carlos!

Ive got almost 30k on the 2019 6.2 .... better truck all the way around... but still it depends on your personal financial situation. The 2019 is a better warranty situation also... low miles and only 1 year old.

Nope.... started driving it in SPORT... yikes 15.5 mpg.. lol but its fun

GMC has so many quality issues it’s insane. Get word out. Hopefully we save someone from the nightmare of owning a gmc

oh also I had a 2015 6.2 Denali i traded in. Loved the truck but it had two lifter jobs by 40k miles. Also had the brakes fail. Loved the truck though, really love the new At4. I do have reliability concerns though for these truck.

Bout time for a LOOONG term review! Got 50K miles.. no issues other than gremlins in the High beams/Lane assist... a assume they use the same sensor because often neither is working. I think it maybe because frost or dirt is covering the sensor. Other than that and the wear on the driver step.... no issues. looks new still.

@@Fulloctanegarage you still have the truck ? Any problem?

it does not but it does have lane keep assist and front accident avoidance so you would think it would be a little step to get that done. I had that on one of my Jags... once you have had it , you really miss it when its gone! thanks for the comment!

thanks... nope , we both still work everyday. bought a small house in 1988, paid most of it off and bought a larger house in 1998, paid most of it off and bought this one in 2013... its a long term plan. and thats my wife... she stopping aging about 20 years ago while I just keep getting older ... lol

#ilovetodrivemytruck !

@@Fulloctanegarage 20.5k in a year for me

Goldwing Pilot Fair enough... Curt and I both started with nothing, worked for 30 years before we were able to afford any of this stuff. I spent 21 years the Army Reserve, served in two wars, went to night school for 15 years while working 60 hours a week at the company I now own after working at it for almost 30 years also. When I wasn’t serving over seas, I saw my daughter awake for one day a week. Now we made RU-vid videos for free for a year b4 we started getting paid. We just started making enough on YT to buy our 1st Supercar. Curt has basically the same story. “I don’t rub it in” in the same sentence as “ the house, the cars, the planes...” right.... just because you don’t put it on the video doesn’t mean you don’t “rub it in” every time you start the engine in one of those cars or take a trip on your “planes”. Don’t kid yourself. You deserve it just like we do and maybe... just maybe... some kid will see what you have accomplished and be inspired to get of his or her ass and do something exceptional. I am a RU-vid mentor and I have helped kids start making money on RU-vid. We participate in fund raisers and charities and raise thousands for those that need it. We are proud of what we accomplished and we plan on doing more of the same. Maybe you should do a review on one of those planes. Oh... and so now my wife shouldn’t be allowed to be on RU-vid because she is an attractive woman...? Sigh.

Full Octane Garage You didn’t get my point. It’s great that you give to charities. You are a good man. Thank you for your service in the military. God bless.

which isnt REALLY a truck, right? lol. thanks for the comment!

We would love to review a new Ram.

Fuck yeah! lol. congrats Man!

No, this one was a 6.2. We now have a 2021 3.0 Diesel in the fleet and just turned 14k miles on it. A review of that one to come soon but so far that one has been rock solid.

I took a picture of it.. and I have been able to repeat it. But, as you would agree... nobody wants to drive this truck like that that. I now have about 35k miles on the truck and get around 18mpg

we would really like to get out hands on a Dodge

She can drive i and has occasionally but she would rather not… mostly because of visibility issues.

Gm putting quality on the side of the road

most reviews are from people that have had the vehicle 1 or 2 days and haven't had to live with it. from that perspective... 6 months is a a long time. We have 60k on the truck now... will probably do a follow up. Have we had issues? yep. Has it left me on the side of the road? nope.

amen Brother... time for us to do lunch! give me a holler!

Just drove 600 miles to Amelia Island for the Concours with the back seat full of luggage... used cruise control most of the way... minded my accelerations. 22.5 mpg. We were watching it closely because of gas shortages. The 27 mpg is right there in the video. Real life average about 21. I would look at the driving style of the driver, not the truck.

Like what

lol... fair enough...

All opinions welcome!

@@Fulloctanegarage 😀🙏👍👍

how so?
