Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing, didn’t mince words in the Denali Ultimate’s press announcement, saying, “This truck is the ultimate expression of the Sierra Denali with greater emphasis on the bold and refined presence and advanced features that make Denali models synonymous with precision and exclusivity.” He means this truck gets the full bling-bling if that marketing-speak got confusing.
The Sierra Denali Ultimate starts with a 4X4 1500 crew cab model with either a 5’ 8” or 6’ 6” cargo bed. The drivetrain is the 6.2L V-8, eight-speed automatic with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The Denali's trailer brake controller and magnetic ride control are also of course standard. Everything on the Sierra Denali is. So what do you get that makes this truck the "Ultimate?"
GMC lists many things including premium soft-touch interior materials, aluminum trim and contrast stitching on the standard leather-trimmed interior, 12-way power adjustable heated and vented front leather bucket and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. 22-inch wheels with chrome or black inserts, tri-mode running boards, the 2016 Denali LED headlamps with GMC LED signature lighting, the all-new Denali grille and LED taillamps are part of the standard package. Also included are:
◾OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot
◾Bose premium sound system
◾Wireless phone charging – new for 2016
◾Remote vehicle starter system
◾Remote keyless entry with new remote locking tailgate
◾Power-adjustable pedals
◾Power-sliding rear window with defogger
◾Rear-vision camera with dynamic guidelines.
GMC has not said what the new Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate will cost yet. We are pretty sure it will be more than $55K though.
