2023 Super Duty Limited vs 2024 Denali Ultimate Comparison Owner Review 

The ford needs a software update my clusters did the same thing and than some stuff on my infotainment but after the dealer did a software update which took 20 hours to update but it fixed the problem I don't have to scroll through my clusters anymore it stays where I left it now.......just had it done this past week on my 23 f250 tremor 6.7 h.o

Bro you are the only guy on youtube that points out the seats, That is biggest thing in my opinion. I sold my '20 Denali due that very reason. Nice barn too man!

Finally! A non biased review! I’m not brand loyal either but the ride and comfort is where it’s at! GMC is in my opinion the best looking of the 3, Ram has the best interior, and Ford has the comfort, ride quality, and (reliability in most cases) over the other 2. Great video!

Totally agree with everything said. GM looks better, Ford is soooo much more comfortable. Those GM seats are the absolute worst seats I’ve ever sat in.

Couldn’t be happier coming from a 2022 Platinum f350 to a 2024 Denali 3500. The GM feels better in every way, plus its getting great fuel economy.

Having both a 07 LBZ LT and a 17 L5P Denali, the leather seats in the 07 are way more comfortable. Your comment is spot on.

I love that garage. Now I need one.

You are spot on about the GM truck seats. Flat and hard as a rock. Love that GM made a competitive interior to Ford and Ram, but they should've addressed seat comfort for sure. Ford does have the best seats in the HD class. That said, I love the 24+ GMC styling. They really knocked it out of the park. But in terms of power and towing, the Powerstroke is unsurpassed, but long-term, the GM may win out since the Duramax runs Denso HPFP and injectors, and not the CP4.

That gmc is beautiful sir.

I'm a Ford guy myself and although not having owned either of these trucks it seems you make great points on all sides, and you're objective. I agree on all your points as well. There are models of Fords that look better than the one here you had, however I like the grill and side profile on the GMC better. I just have never been able to get past those stupid ass looking mirrors GM threw on there. So ugly... I would definitely value more cabin storage, and seat comfort, personally, as I would use those the most. I do like the step on the tailgate in the Ford as well as the outlet in the bed. Idk, I want to try GM, but I really like what Ford does, and how they give you tons and tons of options. Great video, I enjoyed your take.

I have the ultimate and a Ram Long horn. The Ram is like driving in my living room! Love both for different reasons.

Love how honest this was! Great review. I know everyone will agree with the comfort of the trucks. I have been a GM guy all my life and I still love them but GM definitely needs to figure out their seats.

First, this channel is great, more. 2nd, how some random dude from Saskatchewan stumbles on a review video from another random dude in the Texas Panhandle is crazy. 😂. 3rd, keep reviewing these 2 trucks, as real world as you just did and this channel will explode. Best real world review I have seen in 2 years. Your assessment and opinions on what we actually do with these things was refreshing. Great job! (I also am a Ford guy driving a GMC. Ford could not get me what I wanted fast enough)

Enjoy comparison from one that has used both… you made comment on Ft End being better on GM, but later indicated pedals & your height. Range of Physical Size Fitting and Visibility were strong design considerations on Super Duty; the angle / sloop of hood provides a much better forward view compared to taller & more flat hood. The lowered mirrors & shape of doors improve view to mirrors & side views. I personally like the new Ford "Limited" Ft End, gives a more luxury class view… it’s not as aggressive look as GM which many may prefer. Interior, the King Ranch / Platinum may have colors more prefer than Blue/Grey Limited… but the 3 Upper Ford Trims easily beat the GM’s Top 2 Trims. The adjustability of pedals & wheel, seat comfort, height & width of console, the seats able to fully lay out with center raising up, or overall interior size for a 6’8" guy is hands down better… coming from long time Owner of Jeep & GM on first ever Ford. Adding the HO 6.7, solid ft axle, 2 way Cabin controlled tailgate, tailgate down camera & sensors, huge sunroof, Full size box makes a Great Truck, the best Truck for my needs. Speaking of 10 speed Alison, Ford’s version is a lot more beefy and stronger components… coming from a few Tranny Techs that rebuild both. Like the New GM look but Ford’s Super Duty Limited has it for me!

I looked at all 3 and went with a 2022 RAM 3500 Laramie CTD SRW. Like you said, they're all great trucks and it's all personal preference, but for me, the RAM was better in every way (interior, exterior, comfort, power, etc.). Plus, when I bought it a year ago, it was nearly $10,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Ford or GMC (I know RAM has raised their prices since then). Enjoying the videos man! Happy New Year!

Great Video. I waited over 2 years to get a Ford 2500 Limited, the order never got picked up. Switched to a '24 2500 GMC Ultimate. You are so right about the missing features and just things that could have been done or located better. From cupholders to brake controllers and the location of some of the controls. I like the truck, but it is far from perfect. But I guess what is?? Great to have a real world, side by side comparison . Keep it up with up dates

I rally like your honest review. I have owned two of the 2024 Ultimate Denalis and I wonder why a $100k+ truck has manual tilt wheel and no pedal adjustments… hmmm… both are really nice trucks… GMC nails it with the front end and Ford kills it with their seats.

I don’t understand why people send you so much hate. It completely their choice where they spend their money! I appreciate the reviews you give. I am very loyal to Ford however I wanted a half ton diesel and think GM has a great power plant but seat comfort took me back to the f150.

Your spot on. Those seats will make you not even want this truck....even if it tows more (IF), there's no point in riding uncomfortable. Hands down, Ford for comfort and GM for looks.

There’s a setting on the GMC with the seat that will move it back when the truck is off, and move to the set point once you turn it on. No idea what that doesn’t have a power adjustable steering column and wheel. My 22 1/2 ton AT4 does and that’s not as high of a trim level as the ultimate. I will say, one the seats break in, they are very comfortable, but it does take a minute. Beautiful trucks either way.

Amen brother.....One of the reasons i sold my Cadillac SRX was because the seats suck. Long trips were awefull and ended up always taking my truck.

I appreciate you, great video!!!

Everyone is brand loyal even when they say they aren't. We own both and there will always be pros and cons. We have the gas versions 7.3 and 6.6 and did away with the diesels for our company. Pleased with both motors but the 7.3 pulls better but the GM drives slightly softer...It's all personal preference. For daily driving and more on long hauls I personally prefer the Fords comfort and convenances hands down but that GMC is the best looking truck to date.

Good honest review. I own or have owned all of em and they all have good points and bad.

I’ve had a F-250 for years and traded every 2 years. My last 3 I purchased were in the shop more than I drove them. My 2023 powerstroke upon taking ownership of it my drive shaft had rust all over it and also my front axle and hubs. I sold it when when 3rd gear shelled out at only 264 miles. I did order a 2024 powerstroke in December 2022 and still haven’t received it. So I’m done with Ford for the time being. And I do own a Cummins now 6spd . Just my opinion

I'm sure it's been mentioned in other comments, but the Ultimate has entry/exit seats like the Ford. Like you said, it does not have the electric pedals and steering wheel, but the auto entry/exit seats helps with that.

6 months ago I have bought my my new pick up 3500 very hard to decide between Denali and king ranch I have seen more confortable and spacious king ranch and I’m a tall person 6’2 and really happy with my selection I think both are great trucks 🙏🇧🇪

Spot on IMO. No haters. I tried getting a Ford but they couldn’t build it in time so got the Ultimate. There are trade offs as you say. Good and bad to both and I had a hard time choosing but the lack of Ford being able to build one was the deciding factor. Maybe that’s changed now.

I've been with Ford since 1990. Switched to the GMC Denali Ultimate 3500 Long Box because Ford did not produce my 2023 F350 Limited 8' box. Ordered in for a 2024. I switched from GMC to Ford in 1990 because of the antilock brake system that kept failing the module on the master cylinder. GMC Pros: I think the Denali interior is awesome. Four months order to delivery. available Trailer camera system and I will use (awaiting my trailer now) Styling hands down Full box under the rear seat - included with the Denali Ultimate (probably could order and install on yours) GMC Cons: No place to tap in for switched power. Aux switches no available for the AT4 or the Denali or Denali Ulitmate. I heavily modified a 2023 aux switch kit to work. 36 gallon fuel tank no on board scale system Ford Limeted Pros: Why I want the Ford! 48 gallon fuel tank on board scale system Trailer backing system Panoramic roof Electronic locking rear axle More horsepower and torque with 3:31 geat gets better mileage than the GMC Ford Limeted Conns: Delievery time frame and broken promises from Ford

The seats are personal preference cause not everyone likes a plush seat. The storage on the GM is meant to have the extra floor space for when the seats flipped up for a dog. My 2012 Duramax has a ton of space for a full grown german shepherd. I’m a GM guy who watches all the Superduty and Cummins videos cause I like to see what they all offer. I would still take the L5P over both. The AT4X HD would be my ultimate truck.

I have a 21 GMC Denali 2500 and this review is spot on the seats are nice but are not the most comfortable as they should be GM has to get this right

Went from 2024 SLT to 2023 Platinum and no regrets. The SLT seats are rocks, this is my 4th power stroke and I’ve learned my lesson to stick with ford for life

Ultimate HD GMC has massaging front seats and you can get a bigger storage box under the back seat. I have both in my truck!

Your top 4 viewed videos are about trucks. So obviously we like the truck content, we just also like to give our personal opinions as well

I have the 23 1500 AT4 which has the same cab and I'm actually cool with the lack of storage underneath the rear seats mainly because I don't have kids or anything so I keep my back seats folded up most of the time and it just creates more overall space for putting stuff back there on the floor. I also travel a lot so its nice having more room to put stuff like boxes or something that cant be left in the bed. Since you're a farmer, I understand why u don't like it. For the seats, they are firm but I still like them and I've driven from Florida to Colorado in it and it didn't bother me. My last truck was a 94 C1500 single cab so Its probably because that's my comparison lol.

Just rented a ‘23 suburban and as the owner of a ‘21 expedition I can agree the GM 10 speed shifts better. That’s pretty much all I liked about it though. It looks good. The seats are horrendous. The vinyl seats in my XL 250 work truck are more comfortable!

I agree aabout the seats. I had to get custom seats installed with softer memory foam. The best investment i ever spent. Family loves to go long distance trips. Before the seats were un bareable

Honestly this is the first HD GMC in a few years thats actually great looking. Both good trucks. I’d go super duty just because I’ve owned both and prefer the Ford because of blind spots and comfort

Limited by far. Way more comfortable, more power

GM is clearly a beast outside. It’s a better looking truck.

Thanks for the comparison!

I have a new 2023 ho tremor and i agree the seats are awesome in the ford but the whole my view crap drives me crazy its really my only complaint. Ive never noticed an issues with the front auto braking.

A lot of people have been heading over to GM. I had a 2020 Sierra 2500. Amazing truck. Until we had serious transmission harness and regeneration issues. Ended up with a 2022 Ram Lararmie midnight

100% did the same Video.. I love the look of the new Denali.. I only kept the Denali for a few weeks.. Power, exhaust brake, comfort, and towing ford wins all day.. My 24 limited cluster stays on last setting. My 23 platinum did not

By the way, i love the garage.

Great Review. Like you said its a personal preferable. Life long Ford guy here. Had 15’ SD 350 Platinum PS since new for 9-1/2 yrs great truck was time for a new one. Couldnt find a Ford that had what I wanted on it. Wasnt going to order one and wait. Also when I tried to make a deal on ones I was willing to settle for every ford dealer gave me $5k less for my trade than GM did,wouldnt budge either to beat GM or match ,crazy! I get a GM discount as well as a Ford. Drove that Denali and it just felt and looked right to me. Coming from my 9-1/2 yr old SD this was a step up. The ride is very nice and the features. Been very impressed so far. It has a plow package and I use my V plow for my driveway and it does as good if not better than my SD. The seats feel firmer than my SD but not horrible like some said. Maybe cuz mine was worn but in fabulous shape. There are a few things i dont care for, the power steering wheel ,pedals and the stalk placement to the screen but They all have some things we dont like but we live with it. Unfortunately cant be perfect. The transmission being collaborated with Ford and GM just the tuning is different makes me feel i still have a bit of Ford there lol. But over all I like the truck. Still a Ford guy GM second never a Ram lol but Ford didnt step to the plate cuz $5k on a truck that cost like this makes a big difference imo. I like my GMC Denali 3500 and boy do I get the very nice truck comments. Have a nice day and keep up the good work.

Where ford’s underseat storage really wins out is that it can fold away if you don’t want to use it

I’m a GM sales person and I swear to god there’s memory seats and power steering wheel adjuster, I am in Canada might be different in the states

I have a 2019 Chevy 2500 high country, seats are hard as a rock and i am 250lbs, so i am used to them. Thinking of upgrading to the Nali Ultimate

Ford really screwed tha pooch on that new redesign. That GMC wins the look category by a long shot.

Agreed. I have a 2019 3500 Denali and I like it as my farm truck other than the front suspension. It’s junk. 2020+ GM seats well….they just as well mount 5 gallon buckets in there and legitimately claim “bucket seats”. The visibility from a GM sucks compared to Ford. As a farm truck, Ford hands down is way more truck. The solid front axle just goes forever. My 2019 GM gets a front suspension rebuild every 25k to 30k miles. It can’t handle the abuse. RAM isn’t terrible, the Cummins is just gutless

on my new 24 i only have to push the button once. just to clear the seatbelts. it goes right to fuel economy

I bought the denali ultimate and im still thinking about the platinum massage seats.

Im with you, spot on! I own a 2024 GMC 2500 AT4, and just like my most recent trade in 2019 Chevy 2500 High Country, the seats are trash. Ford has better seats all the way.

Your so right about the seats General Motors seats are absolutel garbage.

Good review, from prior videos sounds like the SD you had wasn’t truly the one you wanted or ordered and I get it. I had to wait 2.5 years for my 23 SD F350 Platinum Tremor and I work for Ford.

Recently found your channel but enjoying your videos!

Bigger rear under seat storage means smaller open storage space in rear seat

Thanks for your personal review! I agree I have both trucks! Ag Idaho in Idaho.

I have the same complaint about the seats on my 2023 Yukon Denali! Chevy/GMC used to have the most comfortable seats but now they are not. I will be trading at some point due to seat comfort!

In Oct I traded my 2020 High Country HD for a 24 AT4 HD. Zero issues with seats. I’m 6’3” 235lbs. Maybe it’s the persons size that affects comfort? No idea. Hear that complaint a lot on various vids.

Love ford but that gmc is tight lookin my 2001 ford f150 2 valve v8 is the best it rides in the seat s feel good like riding in a slick black Cadillac

The seats in Ford trucks are next level! The seats in the new F-150’s are like LazyBoys. 🤤 it’s too bad Ford really screwed up the looks on this update. The ‘22s were the perfect truck!

Drive 22 lariat for work & own 22 Chevy high country will take high country all day long ride better feel better towing too

I agree with you on the seats. I have a 2023 gmc 1500 and the seats suck. I travel a lot and do a lot of sleeping inside the truck. I always have a hard time falling asleep and when I finally do the damn truck shuts off every 30 minutes so I either wake up cold or sweating. Looks are gorgeous but comfort wise it sucks

The seat memory just needs to be set on your GMC and it will function exactly like the ford. Also I remove the stupid box and there’s tons of space under the seat. And I would definitely trade the death wobble Ford for GMC IFS any day. Also the adjustable pedals is an option you just didn’t get it because I had it in my 17 1500.

Thank you for being honest. Iv been brand loyal to superdutys all my life but iv been thinking about going gmc for several reasons mainly due to i hate aluminum and some i interior quality issues . The seats are a common complaint. Not sure what im going to do. Regardless all of them are way overpriced and from what iv looked into all of them have quality issues

Use to deliver to you and your wife at your business , great people

If the Ford had the Denali front nose, game over

Good reveiw. Thanks

my ultimate has the same storage as that ford. i guess it’s an extra it came with

I own a 2017 denali 1500 and I know what you mean about the seats, I have to use a lumbar cushion I got off amazon to use while I'm driving around all day so my legs don't go numb. I was thinking when I step up to a heavy duty it might be a ford f350 , but might look for a 2019 maybe 2020, I just don't want anything new, seems like I hear more people having newer ones in the shop more than pre covid models. I could be wrong, it's just what I hear.

I had the ford and went ram because of the powerstroke issues. I was a ford guy through snd through but the ram wins for my needs. I do only use it for towing so I was worried about getting stranded far from home with a camper snd family

Yea i have a Yukon denali ultimate seats suck big time. Also 100k plus truck and manual steering and no pedals sucks. Only reason its still here is gf loves it so it what can you do.

Great video not long at all but you had when you said Ram

Traded my 24 dmax at4 in for a 23 f250 powerstroke . Dmax had horrible brakes and exhaust brake. Absolutely horrible mpg on the dmax and towing was embarrassing. I think the dmax looks way better in and out than the f250 but that’s it.

I agree with you I think the GMC looks better and I love the color of the seats better but ford hit out of the park with the comfort and shortage and armrest. I’m a ford and would go with the ford but wouldn’t go with a limit because I don’t like the color of the seats

Gm hasn’t had adjustable pedals since the new Sierra/silvardo in 2019, it’s something I don’t understand.

WHY didn’t GMC continue the Vader chrome on the rest of the truck!?!? Window trim, side mirrors, etc. it’s half a$$ looking.

Great review on two very popular trucks. Most in the audience can't afford either truck so all the complaints are pointless! Your honest review should help perspective buyers in choosing the best truck for their needs. And as others have said, the seating issue is a big goof up by GM!!! I know I'd be pissed if I didn't find out about it before signing the contract!!! Well done! Don't worry about all the cry babies as there are plenty viewers out here who appreciate you candid reviews! 👍👍👍

U didn’t even mention the massage seats. Damn they’re good after a long day of trucking

First time I pulled camper with my ultimate had the trailer brake controller issue so didn’t have any trailer brakes had to take it back in also had a bad front camera so collision light won’t go off dash

I just bought my first 2020 f250 lariat and it is lifted with wheels. I've put dual steering stabilizers on it , but I can't stand the solid axle front suspension. I drive so much highways with my trailer and it sucks sometimes. Ford does look better though.

Ford still uses cp4 fuel pump! Major major concern

I have a 2500 Ultimate too. I absolutely love love it, but agree the seats are less comfortable than the Ford I traded from. They’re too flat maybe? Everything else is incredible though (at least it has been for the 11 months I’ve had it)

I drove the same truck as that Denali let me tell you its like driving a forklift i got tiered pretty quick the first mile its just to uncomfortable

That's really weird cuz the power seat options the automatically adjust as well as the power adjustable pedals. I have both those on my 2017 Duramax factory so I have no idea why they wouldn't be on that truck

The Ford looks so much better. Very sleek

I’ve owned all three and there is one big draw back that has kept me out of another Ford, the CP4. Ford needs to get there head out of the sand.

There all capable trucks and get job done .but for me i keep my trucks well beyond warranty coverage and i work on them myself. They all break one way or another. It comes down to is how easy its to work on , prices on parts, parts availibilty and what truck requires less specialty tools. I know gm and ford you have to pull cab just to do certain things. And ford requires ford ids to calibrate trans after swaping it out. Cp4 is still in the ford that scares me. I pick ram first for working truck. Would get Ford or gm only if it has warranty on it so i dont to work on it .

Seats. How do the seats feel and compare after like 100,000 miles is the question.

@4:33, you might want to check your programming/ options on your GMC for the preset memory function? I'm pretty sure you can set it up to do what the Ford does(minus the adjustable peddles of course). My 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT has that option to do so and I'm pretty sure a truck 15 years newer would also :-)

You never showed us the wireless phone charger in the Ford like you said you would. I do personally like Fords better myself as well.

I dont know if its the truth but i did hear that the gm seats have to have some sitting time in them to soften the foam.

I have the high country 2024 i agree on the seats they suck

Best review 😮

Hey, thank you so much for making this video. I have been trying to decide between the GMC and Ford product for the past year. But do you feel like the Ford products have trouble finding the right gear, like it is always clunking??

For $100k, those things should be taken care of

GM has an accessory underseat storage that replaces the stock piece and makes it much bigger. The Ford seats are already wrinkled and will be worn out in 60k. Way too much goofy stitching etc and will look horrible if it’s actually used as a truck

If the GMC had just as comfortable seats as the Ford, which truck would you prefer?
