My last truck, GMC Denali “Ultimate” was a hunk of sh$&. Our Suburban bought in the same month, according to our body shop, had twice the paint thickness(cost 15k less). My Denali 1500 2016, went through 5 transmissions over 299k miles. A dealership in WV offered me triple book value, unseen, I asked where to start signing

And Chevy built in US, Denali/GMC built in Mexico, another lie from the dealership, at that time. Obviously, all HDs are built in the US now

Agreed. I have had two Sierra Denalis and they were both great and trouble free.

At that time it was the only GM vehicle I could find with a 6.2L, had a local Chevy dealer sell the actual vehicle I had originally ordered(5 months previously) for well over sticker(why they don’t take deposits). Found that out through a trusted source. Dealer is now on my naughty list.
The Denali was great at first, but fuel pump disintegrated at 65k, had to replace entire fuel system for $7,500. Auto running boards always crapped out(no grease ports). Sunroof leaked from the start, and never stopped after multiple dealer attempts. Infotainment system would go black or touch would be unresponsive after any drive over 4 hours. Granted I did have a Whipple supercharger, I never floored it. All our other GM 1500s are the same on the transmissions, can’t push one past 115k. Our 97/98 1500/2500s did 300+, I could go on and on. The fit and finish was below a Chevy LT, spent 2 weeks at the dealership, starting the moment I signed the papers, fixing what Mexico couldn’t get right. Truck was never right.
Our late 90’s trucks are still running with their original transmissions. Probably all about fuel efficiency standards, why I went back to a 2500/Allison

Competition was a little stiffer at Lowe's this afternoon.

I would probably take the one on the right, but a pretty lineup. I loved/hated my black trucks, wish GM made something that changed color when it got dirty

Pewter (gray) from early 2000s never looked very dirty.

The GMC had a crooked left rear corner bumper too but not as bad.

Ceramic coat it and you’ll only buy black trucks. I’ve had my truck for over a year and washed it like 4 times and it looks like it came off the showroom floor every day.

Always go for Tungsten Metallic, and work lighter if I have to. Where I live plays a big part, need something in between. Black is a nightmare for my OCD

I would if I didn’t do so much mileage, doesn’t stop the sand running out of the 6 dump trucks I got stuck behind today

This is “my work truck”, horse/pony, AG, and my toy hauler. Had 2 black Denali’s, of different capacities, never panned out well. I honestly believe the prettiest truck, up until recent, was was a black Denali.

Let me know exactly what you recommend, I am not pretending to know anything, I do 50+” boats, and am allergic to wax

Unless you live in the desert which replicates hell for most of the spring, summer and into fall.

black is a maintenance agreement.
