Work truck used for basic jobs.
Mostly reliable do not like how it does not warn you about batteries being low due to the fact I got stranded because of it. Performs very well and meets my needs for use. Comfort is excellent and functional wish wireless charging was big enough to fit my phone in to it.

The 2017 GMC Acadia Denali AWD is an outstanding vehicle. It is very comfortable.
The 2017 GMC Acadia Denali AWD is an outstanding vehicle. It is very comfortable with lots of features. The drive is smooth and quiet. It is big enough to carry 6 passengers but small enough to fit in tight spaces. The design is beautiful and the interior is luxurious. The GMC car is best performance in another vehicle. So GMC vehicle is my best choice.

Fabulous Ride
Sitting behind the wheel of this luxury beast you can just feel the capability of this truck. Pulls my long and heavy travel trailer like a champ.

My 2017 GMC 2500 hd sierra denali 2500 diesel pickup: best truck on the market.
Great mileage for a diesel, quiet ride. Beautiful truck, great power. Tows my thirty-one foot trailer easily. I love the smart screen. I love the vision the mirrors provide. The backup camera is quite helpful. The only thing that could be better is to have back seat environmental controls for temperature and airflow. Great sunroof. Great back window electric slider. The digital dashboard display is great and very easy to use and to scroll through.

Kid & bad parking adult friendly!
This truck has many helpful features that I didn't even know I needed before. The back up camera has been life saving, the room for me and my kids is amazing, lots of space! Also, the satellite radio is the best. It is a larger truck so it makes me feel safer driving my kids around in it.

Very disappointed
27000 miles but out of warranty because it’s over three years and it leaks. Also has a fog light not working and it will cost several hundred dollars just to remove bumper to find out what’s wrong. I’ll never buy another.

Transmission issues
Bought this 2017 2500HD thinking it would last long enough to see my son drive it. 2017 with 144,000 on it. 20,000 km later the transmission set off a light. Went to a chev dealership and was told they recommended a new tranny. Talking to a few mechanics since then.They laugh at the 6 speed transmission in this truck. Maybe you’ll have luck with a diesel. I’ll never own another GM product

The quality of the drive, it's so smooth, the exterior paint holds up well.
I really like the smooth drive of this truck. I like the looks of the front grill it has a masculine look. The leather on the seats has a nice feel, it's very soft. I am very tall so I appreciate the amount of legroom in the front as well as the back seats. This truck is a work truck and is treated very roughly its holding up very well, nothing has broke off the doors or the dash. I drive it in the winter and have had no rust problems from the sault. I would buy another GMC.

It can tow or pull a very large amount, has great power and ability to do this!
This is a great, heavy duty crew cab truck! It has a lot of power, performance and the ability to tow and / or pull something to a certain weight capacity! I have always owned trucks of all kinds, but this GMC sierra is definitely my favorite! It is a lot of fun to drive too!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jordan T.

It is low maintenance for a truck, the washable floors is a huge bonus and it runs great. It is decent on gas mileage and has good stock parts. The breaks are amazing and have lasted forever. I like the link on my radio and it is ease of use.

likeFilled Timothy C.

6.6L diesel plenty of torque and power for towing, great appearance and reliability, plenty of extras to add on, Allison transmission combined with engine and rear axle for great fuel economy, great warranty.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jordan T.

It could have more leg room, the features were kind of bland. It could also get a bit better on the gas mileage. I am not unhappy with anything else, really, it's been a powerful and dependable truck thus far.

dislikeFilled Timothy C.

Extremely high purchase price, diesel fuel higher than gasoline, vehicle size makes maneuvering in tight places hard, height presents a problem in parking garages, the requirement of also having to purchase DEF regularly.
