    Things I like
    Heads up display how cool it would be especially the off road.
    Rear view mirror
    The tail gate is cool also
    But I would be cautious about all the buttons wonder if electrical problems would start
    Also that is one hell of a price tag, person using this kind of truck would probably not take it off road. Would be more of a toy hauler.

    While I'm all for creature comfort and 360 cameras, the reliability factor overshadows the convience. I will say that GM has done well with HUD and core engine/transmission reliability recently... But oh those outsourced and cheap Chinese relays, wiring, electronics and plastic internals... Ouch.

    Not to mention the gorilla in the room "Made in Mexico". Engineering, electronics, and mechanical automation/production, and quality control are not, at least in a historical sense, a domain of competence south of the border.

    Can toyota squeeze these in? From a Lexus prospective, Yes. With their quality controls and US production, expect the price to match the big 3.

    Saw quite a few of those nice Denali's being used as work trucks in AK. If I were to go diesel....Denali.....go big or go home!:thumbsup:

    Cool truck. My folks have a 2014 or so and when I was looking for trucks, I liked the GMC styling the best but thought it had the worst interior out of all the trucks. The backseat space was awful, too.

    Rear view camera is pretty neat.

    Still take my featureless tundra over that

    I had a 2015 Silverado with a lot of bells & whistles. After 1K miles the electrical was already falling apart. The driver side seat wouldn't move and side mirrors adjustments were hit or miss. Phone wouldn't connect with bluetooth or through the 11 USB ports it had. And the transmission made me switch. Its always hunting for the most fuel efficient gear so if you come to a slow stop and go to take off the whole truck would kick. I took it to the dealer and they told me all new trucks do that except diesels and tundras. They said not to worry the transmissions are built to take that abuse (I highly doubt that). So after the lease was up, I went and bought a tundra. The screens and technology is cool, but I will take reliability over technology any day

    Nice trucks. I like the Chevy front end and round fender wells better than the GMC this time around. As soon as they put the 6.2 in the trail boss (black) I will take a look and drive one to see what the new truck is all about.

    Amen! I have to use an odb plug in that disables AFM on wifes tahoe to stop the piston rings and plugs from fouling up from excessive pcv blow by when running in v4 mode. Started fouling plugs out at 40k and burning excessive amounts of oil. No problems now since running v8 mode full time and flushing system with gm cleaner but i will not purchase another gm v8 until the afm is removed.

    Hence....my emphasis on the diesel version Denali. Love my Tundra as is but if for some reason I needed a diesel and also won the lotto....... it would be my choice.

    Hold the Line! If you are not holding the line, abandon your ship. Destruction is inevitable without more to hold the line!
    It's so ugly though....

    To me it looks like a Nissan Titan

    The last generation's body style looked very elegant, IMO.

    Not a fan of this one... :eek2:

    There are some cool options like that the heads up display, I do agree with being worried about the electrical. I also now see the resemblance to the titan I think that the black badge makes it look like that

    I'll get right on the phone with Toyota execs. They're eagerly waiting. Post back here with what they have to say.

    Nothing like buying a new GM for 55k thats only worth 30k. As far as diesels go, u wont catch me in one unless its older than mid 2000's. Emissions on newer diesels sucks.
