DENALI TRUCK FULL

We tow thousands of miles each year and can completely see the benefit of Super Cruise while on straight, empty roads in the middle of nowhere. This one is going to take us a bit more time to adapt to. Come see us at Budds’ and drive one of the “great ones” for yourself.Another new feature for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate and its new version of Super Cruise is the ability to tow while driving hands-free.

However, you don’t have to take our word for it. GMC trucks are all “Professional Grade,” but Denali elevates that significantly. “Denali” means, “The Great One” in the Koyukon Athabascan language, and GMC save it for their very best vehicles. If you’re taking the family up to the cottage, this is the vehicle to do it in. (Jet black perforated leather is a highly attractive option.) There’s also power folding rear seats and an even better Bose audio system. (It won’t shut out the “Are we there yet?” cries though, so you may want to invest in the available rear seat entertainment system.) Seats are leather and both heated and cooled. Inside you’ve got active noise cancellation that keeps the cabin nicely hushed. A two-speed active transfer case allows shifting on-the-fly between 2WD and 4WD. This packs a 6.2 liter V8 paired with a 10-speed transmission.

But if you think that sounds good, well it’s Denali time. These include a nine-speaker Bose sound system, premium cloth seats, (with leather in SLT trim,) and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

In SLE and SLT trims you get a 5.3 liter V8 while the cabin is full of really desirable features. Inside you’ve got three rows of seats and cargo volume of 1,112, 2,172 or 3,446 liters, depending on whether you fold down none, the third row or the second and third row of seats. How big? Well, it’s 5.7m long, 2.0m wide and 1.9m tall. First off, this big SUV has a traditional body-on-frame construction that makes it a real workhorse. Now let’s turn to the top of the GMC line, the Yukon XL and XL Denali. The Denali difference – at the top of the range In other words, it’s a luxurious ride that will also carry a 2,700kg payload. For example, there’s a two-speed automatic transfer case, an included trailering package, Bose audio and ventilated, leather-upholstered front seats. At this level, only available in 4WD with the crew cab and either a short or long box, buyers get a host of luxuries. The SLT gets more goodies still, like a V6 and heated seats, but Denali really goes all-in. SLE trim adds touches like an 8” infotainment screen, chrome door handles and cruise control. The least expensive GMC vehicle, this gets a power driver’s seat, a 2.5-liter engine with a six-speed transmission and will haul up to 2,500kg. GMC trucks are workhorses, but that doesn’t mean they’re utilitarian. The Denali difference – in the entry-level pickup They’re not just stronger and better-equipped, but incorporate higher quality materials to withstand intensive use. GMC likes to say their vehicles are “Professional Grade.” That’s shorthand for built to a higher standard. In addition, there are four crossovers/SUV’s: the Terrain, Acadia, Yukon and Yukon XL and again, there’s a Denali version of each one. GMC sells four different pickups: the Canyon and the Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500, each of which is available in Denali trim. Slapping a badge that reads, “The Great One” on a truck seems a pretty bold statement. This seems an appropriate moniker for a mountain 6,190m high. (Some 73 years later Alaskan authorities reverted to “Denali,” although it wasn’t until 2015 that the US Department of the Interior finally agreed to change.)Īnd what does, “Denali” mean? The generally accepted translation is, “The Great One.” That probably surprised the native Koyukon Athabascan peoples, who’d been calling it Denali. In the usual Anglo-Saxon manner of that era, the mountain was promptly named Mount McKinley, in honor of Presidential candidate William McKinley. The US then pretty much forgot about it-until a gold prospector noted that it had a really big mountain. That year, perhaps not coincidentally the same year Canada gained independence, Russia sold it to the US. We’ll start however with a little detour to Alaska. So today at Budds’ we’re going to explain the significance of the “Denali” badge. (Technically correct, but not even the half of it.) Saying “Denali” is just a trim level is like saying the Grand Canyon is “just” a hole in the ground. Bolder and more muscular than any other brand, they just seem to ooze presence.Īnd none have more swagger than those carrying the “Denali” badge.
