a nice looking car . Okay , time now for this hour's car review . Mr marrs has a 2024 gmc 1500 sierra that he's going to talk about . Did I tell you the 24 ? I don't know well , I probably did , but it's actually the 2025 buick . I mean 2025 gmc sierra denali ultimate .
Now the this is part of the fourth gen that was actually introduced in 2019 , so they keep updating and keep kind of tweaking things up actually has eight trim levels on it , with the denali ultra being at the very top . So this is a full-size pickup . This particular version will seat five . So you've got all kinds of things that make it the luxury truck .
It is the power folding side mirrors , got power adjustable steps that actually work . I mean , they come out , they're good to step on , to step up into the vehicle , because it's running on some 22-inch wheels , so it sets up a little bit high . Had the GMC Multipro tailgate .
Now this is a six-way tailgate that drops down , got speakers in it , all kinds of cool things , power sunroof , power rear glass that opens up and closes . But when you get inside of it just whenever you really find the luxury the leather seating surfaces , the front seats are vented . The front seats and the rear seat outer settings are heated .
The front seats are vented . The front seats and the rear seat outer settings are heated . The front seats also have massage settings on them and the rear seat is a 60-40 folding rear seat . That's got under seat storage built into it . It's part of a package that you can add on to this vehicle .
Now we had a 13.4-inch diagonal screen in the center stack there . That makes it very easy to see things , understand what you're doing and stuff . Some of the buttons are kind of small . You got to kind of look for them , but with that big screen it makes things a lot easier .
The driver has a 12.3-inch display in front of him that we used to call a gauge package , but there's also a 15-inch diagonal heads-up display . Now this is plenty of stuff up there in the windshield that you can set up and you can use . Now this is plenty of stuff up there in the windshield that you can set up and you can use .
And it has the rear camera mirror on it . I've come to love that thing a whole lot because of the way it , the width , how big a view you can get out of that . Those are cool . Now we also had the smart charger .
It's got a nice slot in front of the console for your phone to fit into and it has a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system in it , so it kind of fills it up really nice with sounds . Now under the hood we had the 6.2 liter v8 . Love this engine 420 horsepower , 460 pound feet of torque , plenty of power , plenty of speed , 10 speed automatic transmission .
And this vehicle . It's not the biggest but it will tow 8,900 pounds . With the trailer and package that we had included in it , that's pretty good . Haul rating is 1710 . These half-ton trucks that haul 1,700 , 2,000 pounds are amazing . Curb weight on this thing is 5,350 , so it's a nice big heavy truck .
Epa says in the city you should be looking for 15 miles to the gallon highway 19 , combined 16 . Now GMC does recommend premium fuel for this particular engine . I got 19.6 over 138.9 miles , not bad . So most of mine was out on the highway , but I'll take it all day long .
We also had the Denali adaptive suspension , so it almost makes you feel like just going down the highway , almost makes you feel like you're no longer in a truck . It's very nice . It's got plenty of quiet glass and insulation in it , so when you turn up the audio you can drown out any road noise that you've got .
Now a base model for a Sierra Sierra is $45,995 . Wow , but a base trim for the Denali is $67,395 . Our MSRP , with a few options that we had , and it is the top-of-the-line ultimate $86,805 for this full-size truck . Now if you want to look for something to compare it to , of course you've got to look at the Ford F-150 , the 2025 .
For example , the STX , based on its 42,15 , compared to the 45995 for the GMC Silverado 2025 1500 crew cab 42700 . The Ram 1500 2025 crew cab is at 43025 . So they all start about the same place .
It kind of depends on what you want to put into it and how much you want to doll it up and what you want to get out of it , but they've all got wonderful choices to make them great vehicles . So if you're looking at some of those big three for the trucks , you need to absolutely look at the GMC . Good looking truck . Today's Involve's on . Thank you .
