Here's my 17 Denali 1500 4wd original purchase back in 2022. The truck was used but completely stock when I bought it. Since then I've lifted it on a 7.5 RC lift powder coated Jamaican teal with a 2.5 bottom strut level to clear the 37in Nitto mud Grapplers with stock 20in GMC Yukon wheels (most recent mod). With 1.25 KSP wheel spacers for extra clearance on my UCAs. For lighting I'm running Auxbeam 3in color play series ditch lights paired with an Auxbeam 6 gang switch panel mounted inside the truck on the center console to control all my lighting and other accessories. I'm also running a 20pc bright white rock light set, 2 under each wheel and 3 on the front, rear and sides of the truck. For interior lighting I have mood lighting under the dash and seats, as well as a custom 860pc starlight headliner. I'm also running a wolfbox G900 pro dash cam/rearview mirror that displays the front and rear of the truck while driving. I also have a 2.5 gallon air tank hooked up to 5 Horn blasters train horns that also act as an on board sir system mounted underneath the rear of the truck where the spare tire used to be. I do use this truck for daily driving to and from work. But it also acts as an overland camping rig as well. I've got a trailFX PRO hard top tri-folding bed cover when I'm daily driving in the city, but when I go camping with my family I take the bed cover off and install my OVS HD Nomadic 4 Person roof top tent along with all my camping accessories, like my Midland mtx400 GMRS radio with a 32in magnet antenna routed to the roof of my truck, my bed fridge/freezer, power bank, recovery gear, BBQ pit, etc. my truck acts as an extension of me, I wanted something with all the luxury creatures comforts but still have that rugged work truck since I do have a blue collar job. It's definitely not pavement princess, even though I've added some lighting mods and some questionable upgrades that may not appeal to everyone's taste. She hauls around my 73 nova to car shows, I occasionally take it mudding and off-road and I use it for side jobs when I'm not at my normal day to day job, plus it handles great on the trails when I'm camping. I've built it to be the perfect mixture of a day to day luxury work truck and weekend warrior. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. If u have any questions or comments lmk what y'all think.

    • Follows the motif on the Sierra EV.  Satin finsh to the lower bumper area, painted above:   Elevation       Denali      
    • Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/
    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
