Is it supposed to beep in reverse?

The bumper ultrasonic sensors do cause some problems. I ran across a sale at my local TSC store last night I bought this cool #10,000 lb Hook and Shackle hitch  (Jeff Foxworthy says you might be a RedNeck, if you run a Hook and Shackle Hitch Hahahaha) I had to drill an additional 5/8" hole through the 2" x 2" solid steel drawbar to move it in about 2 1/2 to 3"  so that the sensors would not "SEE" it and beep all the time. Right now the hitch is on my 2009 TaHO to test and it, works on it also without upsetting the bumper sensors. Hook and Shackle looks better than the Bull Nuts right?  YeeHaw  

    

Well, since you asked...…….both look gaudy and I wouldn't put them on my truck if they were free.  Maybe on an old beater but not on a Denali, very unbecoming of the truck.  Now you have my opinion.

 

Its your truck and your money.

You should have the “with towbar on” option.

Hans has a good point it looks OFF on the Denali but looks "Natural" on the HO with the 3.5" lift 10 x 20 mayhem Hatchets and Nitto Grappler tires so it stays on the HO. And yes the HO is my beater daily driver since the landscapers rock chipped my Denali at work. Over 3k to paint the back 1/4 of the truck.

I might drop a strap over that hook and drag the landscaping truck off into a mud bog. That Will "Learn-Um"   

 

On the backup sensors I wonder if there is a kit so that you can add them if you want? I will have to say that they are very handy to have. Even with the backup camera you can more easily judge how close your "Hook and Shackle" hitch is getting to that BMW R1200GS LC or 2014 MB GLK 350 bumper behind you.................................

You simply have the preferred package and not a package that has the Safety Alert seat, like Premium Plus or Enhanced Alert.  I don't mind the Enhanced Alert but isn't necessary.  I'd trade it for push button start, radar cruise or blind spot detection - all things that were unavailable but I would have paid extra for if they were. 

It’s all marketing my friend. My 2015 had collision alert / lane departure warning and was touted as having the “Premium Package”. My 2018 does not have the collision alert / lane departure warning and is also touted as the “Premium Package”. The new Premium Plus package does have this feature. It’s the only feature my truck is missing and I really don’t miss it.

 

Now about your trades... I like the idea of a push button start, radar cruise, and blind spot detection. Can we get that through an intellilink update? I kid!

I recently bought 18 Sierra Crew Cab SLT with Premium  Plus and was surprised that it didn't have Blind Spot Detection. I would have liked the Push Button Start also . I have gotten use to them both in my wife's 17 Acadia. But it didn't stop me from buying truck. I guess it gives me some thing to look forward too in next GMC.

Lane keep assist would also be missing.  And ventilated front seats.  Intellibeam headlamps would also be a no-go.  If you don't have the preferred package you will also be missing front/rear parking assist, rear sliding window and heated steering wheel.  Should also be missing LED headlamps without Premium Plus.  Unless you line item optioned it, split bench is standard.  Premium Plus costs a lot because you get a lot.

Not true in my case. The only thing I'm missing on the list is lane departure / collision alert. Every other item you listed I have to include the heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, console, leather, rear sliding window, LED Headlamps, Z71, 6.2 etc.

 

It's a freaking unicorn my friend.
