Finally pulled the trigger for one of these and I freaking love it. I just swap the engine for the diesel duramax.
We have a 2024 Denali Ultimate. It's black but in the sun looks dark purple. It's beautiful. Everything he said is true. It floats down the road and will pass anything... it's so powerful. We LOVE it.

You are freaking hilarious
Iâm with ya
@@RaitisRides Likewise!
@@mrsalviboy94 I'm no 2A gun nut, but I immediately think of concealment places when I see this much storage.
@@TediTheGodfather I feel ya, I said âgunâ before getting to your comment đđ
I leased my 2021 Denali, and at the end of the lease the buyout was 47k I had to buy it! ... its a Wonderfull travel vehicle. I can't let it go
How does it ride? Smooth over rough roads?
Rented one before, it ride good . But damm . The gas mileage is something else đđđ
â@@kromahjyeah the V8 is thirsty
@@kromahj I have a Yukon with diesel engine and I also drive the Silverado with the 6.2 and the duramax engine is way way less thirsty.
@@omarcortes5754 oh ok
This engine will last!! Build quality looks great, not to mention the color and wheels! This vehicle is worth making payments on!
Iâm so glad that you think so Suzanne
Go see your dealer today! $20,000 down, $1600 a month for 6 years, what a deal!!!!!!!
@@Tony99992000no thanks. I would wait until itâs $20,000 and then buy it used.
GM nailed this color. I've seen it in sunlight. It pops all day long.
Now, GMC needs to add this Ultimate trim to all the other models. I much prefer the darker chrome and the brown leather. Bright chrome is out!
Nothing beats the Cadillac. Thatâs why there is a saying that goesâŠ.. âItâs the Cadillac of all _______â and you fill in the blank with the item that is considered to be the best. ExampleâŠ. This is the Cadillac of all cooking grills. You donât hearâŠ.Thats the GMC of all cooking grills. With that being saidâŠ.we just bought the 2024 DenaliâŠ..we love it. Only thing is, we get a rough sounding start up, but warms up and it goes away. I wish the salesperson showed us more of the items on the dashboardâŠ..but itâs also fun to figure out new things every time you drive. I love the windshield heads up display of what the speed limit of the road youâre driving on is.
Made by the same
@@rahimi4762Exactly, so thereâs nothing mechanical to suggest the Yukon is better. Youâd have to prefer its styling over an Escalade.
I dig the color
Love all of the jokes and energy. As always, great video!!
That color and wheel package is fire, plus the interior is sexy!
Hey Joe if I had to pick Iâm picking the Cadillac Escalade over this SUV. Keep up the work Joe. Your reviews are awesome. đđŸ
Thanks for letter my me know what your choice is
I mean at least the GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate still has a V8, Thanks General Motors. And TQ Joe for reviewing this full-size Luxury SUV. Im planning to get one before all the V8s go extinctđ
Put that colour on a BMW X5, and I'm set for life!!đđ
Just traded off my â21 Yukon Denali for the â24 Denali Ultimate⊠luv the upgrades on the electronics, air ride, magnetic ride and Super Cruise. You can swap out the name badges for black ones for a reasonable price. Really dig the Vader Chrome grill. I liked the Escalade but prefer the interior of the Denali over the Cadillac. All hard buttons better than burying functions in the infotainment screen. Love the super cruise!
The refresh to the 2025 may have you regret your impatience.
@@trumpisastump9382
You can see the 2025 refresh out now. I bought a 2024 Ultimate because I like the front end better than the 2025. Also inside your getting the âgiant iPad â info system. I like the smaller one to be honest. The rims get bigger if you can believe that.
@@CJStingray
I agree with your review completely! I just bought a 2024 Yukon Ultimate, I also like the Yukon over the Escalade. I think the interior of the Yukon is top notch! I am a big sports fan the interior reminds me kinda like a baseball glove brown :) I do love the Vader chrome! Super cruise is awesome! Only thing I havenât used or trust is the self parkingâŠ.. not sure I trust that.
You actually attacked peoples corn dogs on the gps xD nice one bro
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video đ
Love the humor! And all the other great takes. I would house a small fire arm in the secret compartment. Itâs a great SUV!
I love the predictive structure of this show. And the finger pointing always gets me
The grill is gorgeous.
I think you can swing it out and bbq hotdogs đ
Thatâs what I always love about these trucks
Always had a soft spot for the Denali, the short version though. If I win the Lotto Ill get one lol.
Sounds like a plan! You have to play if you are going to win
Love the freaking color
Amazing review Joe.
Joe that dark chrome finish is fire! I also love the pine green metallic paint. đđ
Damm Joe i love how you test drive cars. You really show the advantage and disadvantages. And I love when you reminis about the 80sđđ keep em coming.
Stunning color. Very nice wheels and tires.
That super cruise will definitely come in handy
When the heck is GM dropping the 2025 Yukon???
Seriously. I want mine with the duramax though.
@@googlekeepsmemisinformed447
So when I went to order my 2024 Yukon they said summer of 2024 they would start producing them. FYI there is a front end change and interior change. I love the 2024 look better than the 2025 version.
When 2026 come đ
@davidyoung9262 You must be going off the spy shots? Joe, we know you have the inside scoop, they unveiled the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban months ago, when do we get to see the 2025 Yukon??? đŹ
@@SigmaChirality I would prefer the 6.6L Duramax instead of the tiny one.
Nice video keep up the good work Joe
GMC Denali trims are so popular and all the models have grown on me. Luxury American đđđđđ
It's funny to me how automotive paint colors seem to run in cycles. Back in 1972 my Dad bought a new Ford LTD in this minty green metallic color, which was quite popular back then, but hasn't been seen for quite some time. It seems like at least the last decade, or even longer, has been dominated by black, white, grey, and silver, with very few other colors featured. It's nice to see something "fresh" and different!
I love the Yukon
You have gear taste Anthony
Not in the market for a ginormous vehicle like this but goddamn this humongous beast is bad ass mann!! Thank You Joe and Steven for showcasing this sweet Ride
Love the color with the dark chrome, wheels, quad exhaust. looks really goodâŠâŠit should for the price ! $$$$$$$$$
Wicked beast of a truck! A blacked out trim/badges/wheels package with that color would be pretty slick.
I love love love the way he is doing the car review. With personal touch, short stories and the twinkle and yuhu to flush it down. Love the videos and I m always checking them out especially if itâs about an suv.
Wow! That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you for letting me share it all with you!
Damn. That green looks amazing on the Yukon paired with the two-tone brown interior.
Thatâs what I paid for my house 25 years ago, and itâs all right. Like that ammo drawer.
Expensive yes but so premium.....USA....thanks Joe for the great video and comedy.
My dream car baby
The 2025 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate is going to be the ULTIMATE!!!
I like what you did there Todd!
Great review
how you know and remember all the specs is just so amazing đđđ
YEAH!!!! Real functional nice looking exhaust tips.
I particularly love the color and that full grain Umber leather on the door panels, center console and seats.
I like more of that secret advice over that car reviewđ
Gorgeous vehicle. All it takes is money-Lots of it. I have a 2024 Chevy Traverse RS & like the new shifter versus those ridiculous buttons. Wasnât sure Iâd like this new shifter but honestly luv it. Thanks Joe. đđđșđž
Yes of course Joe and I will buy this one day.
Enjoyed your review. 3 months ago, I bought the Denali XL Ultimate. I have loved these big GM SUVâs and wanted another one. The last one I had was an Escalade, loved it, but the new one is justâover the top â. Too much blacked out trim, too much electronic flash and touch screen, etc. It lost functionality for âlook at me style â. The Denali Ultimate is so tasteful, with sensible controls and identical content and $10-15k less. I also got the diesel, it feels plenty powerful, very quiet (invisible) and has averaged 21.5 around town, 26mpg at 75+ on the interstate! I canât believe this enormous luxury beast is one of the most economical vehicles I have ever owned! This is really an amazing modern vehicle.
Ouch did you have to do my man Jose like that đđ
that color is gorgeous. Wheels are nice too.
I would like to see a video that compares the Yukon Denali, Suburban, Escalade, and Navigator all together for an ultimate comparison.
2 trips to Florida and Iâm very happy with the ride 10 hours a day,no problem
Absolutely love this car!!! Itâs what you need down here in Tampa bay! Just wish it didnât cost so much!
Excellent review great you tube
Great vehicle and I LOVE the color!
Thank you for another excellent review Joe. I love the color, I would say for the price the 2 things it lacks and for the price should have, are 2nd row ventilated seats and second row window shades both of which the Escalade have.
Great taste of music Channel 53 CHILL đđŒđđŒ
My life would be complete with this car
Love that secret compartment joe thatâs where I would keep my side piece phone at if I had a side piece , wink wink
Love this SUV .. took it on 2600 miles road trip Miami to Wash DC, 10 hour stints behind the wheel no problem âŠ. As if sitting on my living room lounger. canât say that for any of my 5 BMWS where I get seat bottom cramps on halfway Miami to Naples, FL. I averaged 18 MPG IF IF IF I go easy feathering the throttle. Not much fun on the twisties ..
Iâ€â€â€ vides keep the good work.
You got it for sure
Awesome video, his presentation is worth watching the video. The vehicle đ„đ„đ„. Iâve had the Terrain, currently the Acadia but those are puppies compared to Big Dog!! One dayâŠ. One day. Thanks for the tour, enjoyed listening!! 11:29 pm 7/6/24
Your Reviews Are So Good đ I Want To đ Buy Every Vehicle. Thank đ You For Daily đ Videos đč đđđ
Thatâs so awesome of you to say John! I want to bring them all home as well.
HI Joe- Good Video
Can't wait to receive one
I'm always looking forward to the zonks!!
I am definitely getting this vehicle, of course when I hit the lottery. đ€Ł
Blacked out would be the way id buy it. Made my butt tighten when you first got on Raitiâs trackđ
By the way, the lower grill ventilation itâs easy to be opened all it has just cover from inside. You can take it off. Thatâs what I did with my escalate for extra ventilation.
I like how raiti isnât afraid to floor it unlike Doug Demuro. I swear everytime Doug floors a car he looks around like heâs about to do life in jail lol
You crack me up!
He needs to do life in jail the way his voice sounds .. and ttthhhisss is facts đ
Not many cars are painted green and this green looks pretty on this. GMC knows how to bring luxury next generation going to be a good one I feel
Excellent points Matt
That color is fire
Iâm so glad that you are digging this one!
@@RaitisRides yes sir
Amazing color. Reminds me of Sea-Foam Green
Nice suv đ„
That's a cool SUV
did you have it in sport mode for the handling portion? It does make a difference.
Im with you about this screen. It is tasteful. All the yuge screens nowadays is obscene.
Loved JOE Excellent price very good
Joe is a type of a guy to fly from Tampa to Miami
I canât wait to see the Yenko version of this beautifulâŠ
Big pimpin for sure
For the hidden spot, I could put my 357 magnum and my glock 21 !!! Thanks again Joe for another great video. Also how come no cooled rear seat on a 100,000 suv ?
Nicely done! You are so very welcome!
my compact pew pew may fit in the secret compartment...
I see this already surpassing the navigator.
I just traded my Navigator L for the Denali Ultimate XL. Hands down the Ultimate is superior in every way. Quietness, ride, fit & finish, Super Cruise is way more confident than the Bluecruise.
@BigBadAllis oh yea I believe it
@@BigBadAllisI think the Yukon has a lot more road presence and is much more commanding on the road than the Lincoln too. Iâm not quite sure what it is. The GMC looks well put together and almost intimidating in the wild. The refresh will be interesting.
I canât deny the awesome looks in the GMC, Escalade and the Chevy. Hard to decide.My only gripe is others lately been speaking about reliability which come short, and some others been going turning to a reliable Toyota Sequoia.if only there was more review on performance reliability. It will costs in the long run.
I think it's Amazing
The Denali always looked better to me. This body style really does. And for about $15k-$20k less with the same level and quality of luxury, it's a win.
Awesome SUV!
Both are a crazy price!
i'd keep my vehicle insurance, in that secret compartment...
17+ years rocking the same 6.2 engine. SureâŠit was terrific in 2007. However, like most of GM products and their development, their best days continue to be behind them. Innovation always trailing the competition.
Yukon Denali will always be the best full size suv.
I want it.
Yukon Denali Ultimate for me.
another great review !!! 420 hp is a little tired needs 450hp 500 torque just saying
It's beautiful love the color yassss no wiper in the back how much is it l love luxury suvs but on a budget đđđâ€â€â€â€
Wow, Joe one of my favorite SUVs, this is Escalades little brother lol, which one would you buy Joe.đđđ
Iâm going with this Denali Ultimate
both are good
Nice!
