I love that rewinding satellite radios is still one of Yuri's ultimate decisions in reviewing vehicles in 2019.

Exhaust tips looking like hdmi ports.

“Didn’t try hard enough” should be GM’s motto 🤣

The side view of Denali is awesome to me

So funny the "Interstellar" effect on the camera 3D render LOL

It feels like Jakub and Yuri are forming into 1 person. Jakub started talking about how he like or hate the infotainment and Yuri talking about the "driving experience"..... Whaaaat

The camera angle at 4:10 is incredible!

12:25 did you plug a usb port into itself? lol

$79,000 for a interior that looks absolutely horrible. Spent more on chrome and Denali badging

I sure like you fellas. Great job and your rapport and banter is enjoyable. Keep up the great reviews.

2:47 - thank you for including the tailgate! I’ve seen it in commercials but wanted to see how it really works and if it is practical. Great job as always!

Thanks for calling out those awful gauges. The interiors on the GM products right now are not up to snuff compared to everyone else, especially Ram. GM has to update that stuff. The Cadillac gauges look like they were taken off a 94 Chevy Lumina or something! Great video as always, fellas!

Great Video, I cross shopped RAM Ford and GM ended up with a RAM 1500 limited. Best interior by far, 12" screen, air ride, ramboxes and a panoramic roof. All things that neither GM truck offers, easy decision for me!

I'm looking at buying a Canyon Denali and you guys are the only reviewers that actually get into the functionality of how car play and android auto works. This is why you guys are the best!

Watching this in class, thanks for the video bois

Snazzy intro & Jakub looking perfect as an Amish Grizzly Adams in that Denali. 😷👍

Love “Get your facts straight!”. Great work guys.

OMG I've been waiting for you guys to review this soo bad! Woop!

That Swiss army tailgate tho

dude, that is the best sweater I've ever seen in my life. If you lost a bet i understand, but if you actually bought it........so awesome!!

I like MPG's because it allows me to know how far can I go with the current level of gas in the tank

Been watching your channel for some time and I'm glad there's a CDN automotive channel to carry on the mantle of those TSN Motoring days! Great content fellas!

Just a few things. The Denali retractable steps move horizontally to the rear for easier access to the bed as well as the Magna Ride suspension being tuned for the drive modes. It also has adept trailering settings for it's tow mode.

I’m a Ford man but I’d take the new RAM 1500 over any other truck that’s currently available including the F-150. I simply cannot deny that they got some special secret sauce with that new RAM, it’s got the prefect looks and the best interior without a doubt. (My opinion) The F-150 is starting to look very dated now, not so much the front end but rather the side profile and the rear, it’s way too 2001 square and boxy where as the new RAM is bulky and modern looking from every angle.

Thank god, GM will be redoing these interiors soon as part of an early refresh. About time.

Appreciate the conversions guys!

I very much loved the lighting, cause filming in the snow or winter grey is hard to do. Easy to overexpose or wash out all colors. Especially intrigued by the very nice lit interior during the driving sections. It almost seems like you are using a video light but it is probably just the giant windshield of this monster letting in all that light. Really enjoy your reviews and the production quality.

When they say Ram, are they comparing to the Ram Rebel they reviewed? Cuz what they really need to review and compare to this truck is the Ram 1500 Limited.

Another excellent review thanks! Nice truck but Definitely the new Ram is better.

Thanks guys. Great video.

My man Jakub, rocking the Andrew Luck I live off the land look. Great video fellas as always.

Can you guys do a behind the sense video? Also love the reviews definitely one of the best channels

'i like canada' 'turtles' boy all grown up

The tracking drone shots from the side are freaking awesome!

For everyone arguing about mpg vs L/100 km: they're exactly the same thing, just the inverse of one another. It helps to think of mpg as m/g. If you invert the metric figure and reduce by a common denominator, 5L/100km becomes 20 kmpL, if you prefer to think of it that way. Likewise, 25 mpg becomes 4 gallons/100 miles, for example.

I work as a valet and the Ram is my favorite to drive. It's easy to drive and park, its transmission engages smoothly, and the interior is pretty nice for a pickup. I'd take a nice Ram over anything... maybe even a Raptor, but that's a toss-up!

When you buy a truck just for the tailgate

Another great video guys! Keep em’ coming! I recently test drove the 2019 F150, Silverado, Sierra and the RAM... ended up buying a RAM LARAMIE trim, great looks (I did like the exterior of the GMC as well), great handling, great ride, and that interior... best interior by a mile, not even close!

I like having 2 people reviewing. You get both sides of thoughts and less biased

Am I an idiot? Doesn't miles per gallon mean the same thing? How many miles you go on one gallon? Am I missing something?

It’ll probably be the compressed carbon fiber, not the nice woven stuff. If I had to go to a pickup, Team RAM. This Denali is classically handsome though.

Perfect truck: this Denali with the ram high end interior. Also, just subscribed keep up the good work fellas

Hahaha loving the look on Jakub's face while Yuri is going wild on (non)tuning controls on the wheel :D

As an American I’m constantly converting numbers when I watch you guys. Like wow it’s really cold -5 degrees there but oh right that’s Celsius. They’ve got the AC at 24 degrees!!! Oh right...Celsius. We have to be different for some reason 🇺🇸. Anyway, nice work carry on.

I sell Sierras (mostly used) and man... they're sooooo nice!

Guys, "auto" does not automatically select among the other drive modes. It is it's own drive mode meant for when the roads are alternating between low and high traction surfaces. This is an important distinction because leaving it on all the time impacts fuel economy and drivetrain wear. From GMC's site: AUTOMATIC 4 HI If road conditions frequently alternate between high- and low-traction areas, consider using the “AUTO” setting found on select GMC electronic transfer cases. This setting allows your GMC to automatically distribute torque to the front axle by anticipating the need for additional traction. Shifting into “auto” engages the front axle, but the transfer case sends power primarily to the rear wheels in normal conditions and the clutches modulate torque forward to provide stability and enhance traction to the vehicle. Although not always optimal for efficiency and wear of your vehicle 4wd driveline, AUTOMATIC 4 HI can be used on any road condition without risk of damaging your vehicle.

You guys are the best!! Just subscribed!

"I'm Yuri and i'm Logan and we're going for a drive Bub!"

I have Ram, but damn yes the GMC and the Chevy looks so good, and have amazing power out of that 6.2

Loving the truck reviews!!!!

Man it’s crazy how far trucks have come with technology and comfort features, I remember 12 years ago when trucks had the worst speakers HVAC systems would break, no safety features, plastic everywhere, now they have more comfort stuff than my sedan

I am a Lover of GMC car I love, really my encouragement to GMC home,

That beard product sponsorship better be worth it. Jakub looks like if Elmer Fudd spent 12 years in prison.

That shot at 1:58 blew my mind. How gorgeous the scenery.

*Big boys coming with the big trucks,* *Feel so clean, like a money machine.*

Now I will admit first in this comment that I sell GMC Denali SUV’s and Trucks. Also will mention Denali comes from an Athabaskan word meaning “The High One” or some have interpreted “The Great one” (more fitting for the brand imo) ;referring to the Mountain “Denali” in the National Park of the same name in the Denali borough of Alaska. I spent 5 summers in Denali and would highly recommend going there and seeing the actual mountain this Sub Brand was named after. I recently had a training class on a comparison of the Denali vs Ram Limited vs F150 Platinum edition. We got to drive the Ram and F150 trucks to compare them to the Denali which we sell. If you like gadgets and cool stuff, you guys definitely are correct that Ram does have cool gadgets and a huge screen. However, nearly everything pertaining to the climate controls is accessed through the huge infotainment center, including the heated steering wheel. There isn’t a button conveniently located on the steering wheel as in the Denali. In my opinion, it seems dangerous to have to take your eyes off the road to navigate through this large screen to find such things. The Ram I felt seriously underpowered compared to the other two trucks. While I will give it to the Ram for style, I’ll have to say hands down, biased or not I’d take the Denali over any truck out there for overall Presence, Power, and Practicality. Great video! Recent subscriber here, keep up the good content.

well, when Canada starts making ANY kind of vehicle maybe liters/100km will catch on :)

Love your sweater, Yuri!

Duuuude. I've been wondering about the cup holder test since I subbed. I don't think I've seen a review where it failed, so it definitely had me wondering...Also, you guys should do a Q&A sometime!

0:55 what about Buick?

Love the review! The RAM does look better!!! 😅

These drone shots are getting better and better!

I drive a 15' Nissan. It lets you seek with the wheel controls if you hold it the button. A tap just does favorites. It's much slower than just tapping the buttons on the radio.

Never been so early. But worth it though 😁

Great video! The truck? Exterior is excellent. The interior looks like a a child's Fisher Price toy version of a truck. Why GM, why? The 1980s gauge fonts: STILL? The panel design and fitment around the glove boxes: designed that way so that when they fail to actually manufacture them consistenly on the assembly line, it's not as easy to detect. That kind of garbage should of gone out in 1980s when you got your ass kicked by Japanese quality, yet it persists. SMDH.

Have had very few problems, and it drives great with a smooth, quiet interior.

You two are a delight to watch. But, I'm curious: How much does Uri miss on his satellite radio that rewinding it is SOOOO important?

Which one of you edits the videos?

why does the centre console 4:25 look like a ford key fob lol

Love how these guys pronounce about like robin!! 💖💖

I know in the new Acadia you can rearrange the buttons on the home screen... AKA put the camera button on the first screen.

driver's seat already showing wrinkles on the bottom cushion on that press car

I didn't know that satélite rádio was such a big thing in north América...

I was hoping you would land the drone in the Denali box. And yes for a family/luxury truck I'm also team RAM.

@ 9:40 - you can scan through channels with the steering wheel control. You just have to activate in the settings.

Looked at the new Denali- Bought the 2019 Ram Limited instead. Just can’t beat the Ram interiors IMHO.

The wheels do scream Luxury

Metric system for life! also sick hoodie

nice one keep it up guys

Are you going to review the Nissan Titan?

please review 2019 chevy blazer rs

what i love is that GMC spent millions on ads, just about the tailgate, like, damn, how proud of a tailgate can you be?

Great timing on GM vehicle video :)

i went and looked at one of these and the exterior is good but the interior is the horrible. cheap plastic everywhere. the the dash looks way to much like the garbage GM has been doing for the last decade. The Ram is mid level trim looks way better.

Looks great, feels great, performs well, reliability? Questionable that is 😂

honestly couldn't choose between the ram 2019 and sierra 2019, both are really nice looking with interesting unique features.... The HUD on the sierra is really nice, love the column shifter but the limited touchscreen on the ram are nice and the flat floor for the back seat...

Yes finally a truck review video

Best car channel!!!

My best truck is a ram exterior ram interior and ram diesel (cummins) 🤣

I do deliveries at a Chevrolet dealer and would advise against keeping trucks in Auto 4WD because it can still automatically turn on the front transfer case when it senses slippage, which sounds like a good thing, but it can absolutely tear up the front transfer case if you drive it a few thousand miles this way.

I know the Ram is well built but the Silverado has good reliability and typically last 200-300 k with proper maintenance and normal wear and tear. I guess it's just a matter of choice. Good review.

Plesase contact RU-vid because ads aren't playing

Miles per gallon is the same it just requires more math. Like if my g1 insight averages 77mpg on the freeway and I have to get somewhere 35 miles away, it will take aboot $3 usd to get there and back.

If you change the display in between the dials to be your audio, the control will change between channels like a tuning nob and not your favorites.

You can seek from the wheel on a VW. There is an option in settings to choose from presets or seek.

miles per gallon is how many miles you can get on ONE gallon.... meaning 35 miles per gallon, you get 35 miles per 1 gallon and if you have a 20 gallon tank.... you can get an estimated 700 miles to the tank.

Yuri the 90's called,they want their sweeter back.

12:48-12:53: The camera for the Rear Camera Mirror is not actually the black circle on the tailgate. They place the camera for the rear camera mirror in the middle of the accessory taillight. If you look close at 5:35, you can see it. The black looking camera is actually a light.

Love the look of the Denali’s classy in black
