New ‘25 HD Denali Ultimate or AT4X AEV?

[paulny]

Getting ready to purchase one of the two.  I love the interior of the Ultimate, and slightly favor the exterior of the AEV.  Is the AEV worth $8500 more than the Ultimate?   Admittedly, it will be a street princess most of the time with hunting, fishing, and country roads being the extent of off-roading.  I’m torn…..any thoughts?

Denali Ultimate with a 12" lift and a 99:1 wheel/tire ratio is clearly the way to go here.

Sounds like you would rarely if ever enjoy the trick suspension pieces that increase the price, but I can assure you that the interior in the ultimate will be enjoyed every time you use the truck.

Get the AT4X without the AEV package. This makes the Ultimate and AT4X close to the same price.

at4x basically has the ultimate interior, but in black

I just saw a video review of the AT4X, it does appear they are the same seats and headliner.  Guess I hadn't looked close before, but I wasn't in the market for an off road type truck anyway.
