Truck equipped and rides like a car.
A truck that drives like a Cadillac! Very comfy, modern and well made interior. All the controls are laid out well. Complaints: the front parking sensors do not deactivate when you are in reverse so they keep making you think there is something behind you.

2019 GMC 2500hd diesel crew cab 4 wheel drive.
None at this time. Great for towing. Dependable and is good four wheel drive. Crew cab is plenty of room. Biltwell. Exterior is white and paint is good. Plenty of options and good wheels and tires. Interior quality is good. Would definitely buy again. Truck bed has line x and goose ball hitch.

We enjoy the integrated entertainment/Wi-Fi & navigation system.
Excellent vehicle. Extremely comfortable, reliable, safe and easy to operate. We use the rear seat (cab) area often and find its features fit our travel needs perfectly. The Denali trim package provides extra added comfort and the safety features (lane departure/collision avoidance) are outstanding features as well.

My love GMC.One of the best vehicle for my need.
Oh my card is so fantastic I love it and I always use my GMC car and it's better for my family it have good mileage.Good engine quality and good design also. It's a hybrid car so that is a great advantage also. Its driving system is also good. Much more controlling upgradation makes it better.

GMC sierra Denali 2500 review.
My vehicles is amazing. It has the space I need for my husband and my two kids. I love how comfortable it is and how it looks from the inside. It has plenty of space on the bed to travel with luggage or to use for work. You can haul basically anything you want as well.

GMC 2500 best truck ever!
Great truck, live the handling, and the looks of it. Has great pickup for a diesel. Great body style and really like the tailgate. Love the color. Handles great on the road and pulls a trailer great. Best truck ever. Very dependable and stylish.

Allison transmission and very powerful to tow!
My GMC 2500hd is the first diesel truck that I have ever owned! I bought this truck for my business and personal use. We have driven the truck with our new tt and you didn't even know that it was back there. The truck is very roomy and comfortable to travel long distances in! I highly recommend this truck to potential buyers. We had an o2 sensor go bad on us but the dealership took care of it asap. We are still waiting on a call to get the heater core plug fixed but due to the workers on strike this will probably not happen anytime soon.

Was a ford guy but will forever more be a GMC guy.
Most reliable truck I have ever driven. Very comfortable and can handle anything. Safe for the family also which is very important. Towing is the best I have experienced. Wish it would come standard from factory with bed liner. Gas mileage is ok but I feel it can be improved upon.

GMC 2500hd duramax Denali review.
This vehicle is useless when it hits -25 or lower def is the worst for the truck. Brakes went bad within 30000 miles. Driving lights are horrible, can't see anything at night. It's one comfy truck to drive. Tech is kinda shy on this truck comparing to other brand. It towers great.

Recent upgrade from 1/2 ton to 3/4.
I have the 6.0, gas motor. My wife and I bought it to pull our 32' Camper. It is a night and day difference compared to our previous truck, a tuned up, 2016 Silverado lt z71 5.3. The hd handles the weight of the camper much better, but gets a solid 5 mpg's less than the half ton. I miss some of the features the lt package had compared to this base model: seat heaters, steering wheel audio controls, upgraded stereo/ speakers, and defrost in the rear window. Other than that, the lower mpg's is an expected trade off for the power and stability when towing a 6600-8800 lb camper. The truck handles as one should expect a 3/4 ton to: heavy and stiff, some would say kind of rough. Mind you, that is just my opinion after driving 9,000 miles on a stock 20" Wheel/ tire set- up. Power is good- I have towing gears; so, in the lower gears, you are not getting anywhere fast. But, these trucks come off of the assembly line built for working/ hauling.
