This thing has been a nightmare since we bought it.
This thing has been a nightmare since we bought it. We purchased it used in 24 with 100k miles. A few months later it blew a head gasket and had to have a new engine put in. Since then it's been chasing down intermittent, random check engine codes and losing coolant to which we can't find the source of. The multipro tailgate- Purchased a Used car

Unreliable mechanical and technical nightmare!
First GMC, last GMC. Buyers, run in the other direction from the 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali, or live with daily, expensive regret! This is the worst and most unreliable vehicle I have ever purchased (new), and I have had many new and used. Steer clear of this year, make, and model!

Consider with caution
I have had my 2021 Sierra 2500HD Diesel Denali for less than a year now. I bought it because we are fulltime RV'ers hauling a 35' 5th wheel. The power is fantastic and feels like we're hauling nothing, even in the NC mountains. The looks inside and out are great as well. I love this truck...WHEN IT WORKS. I have had to have- Purchased a New car

Early to tell truck has less than 100 miles
Truck was bought specifically to our travel trailer. We have to wait for 1000 break in before we can tow the trailer. So far the truck is very quiet, smooth running, & comfortable to drive. We were pleasantly surprised at how much interior storage space is available. Having the bed steps before rear tires and in the bumper sides- Purchased a New car

MY second GMC 2500 HD and it won't be my last.
I just upgraded from my 2016 GMC 2500 to a new 2021 GMC 2500. I really liked my 2016 and had decided it was the best truck I had owned in 40 plus years of owning and driving pickup trucks. I just picked up the 2021 and it is a vast improvement in almost everyway over the 2016. The technology, design and ride of the truck- Purchased a New car

Incredible beast of a truck!!!
2021 GMC 2500 Denali is an exceptional truck. It’s ride is beyond any truck expectations. The auto operating running boards have turned out to be great for getting in and out of this beast of a truck. I got this truck to haul my 5th wheel trailer and it pulls the trailer like it’s not even there. Styling in and out is- Purchased a New car
