Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range:
The Sierra EV Denali Max Range can tow up to 10,500 pounds and has a payload rating of 1,500 pounds. The EPA rates its range at 460 miles. It weighs 8,800 pounds and the tested model's MSRP is $102,000, including destination charges, but before any potential tax incentives. The AT4 and Elevation trims cost less than the Denali, which is the top trim. In the reviewer's opinion, it's the best electric pickup money can buy. Another video will cover features like the exclusive mid-gate, e-trunk, multi-pro tailgate, and the interface.
The twin motor setup generates 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in Max Power mode. It has all-wheel steering, and an adaptive air ride suspension that can raise or lower the truck by 2 inches. It rides on 24-inch wheels. The single-speed transmission selector is mounted on the steering wheel, maximizing console space. There is a paddle to control regenerative drag and several drive modes, including "CrabWalk". The Ultium battery pack is 205 kilowatt-hours and, alone, weighs more than some passenger cars.
While it can use supercharger terminals, there are some issues with Tesla plugs not being compatible and requires using the app. Optimally, it can add 100 miles in 10 minutes at the proper DC fast charge units. Home charging on a level 2 system can deliver from 10-100% charge in 15 hours using 240V 48A and 9 hours with 80A service. The Sierra EV is not as energy efficient as Cybertruck or R1T. SuperCruise can be used while towing.
The presenter praises the cabin. He indicates there are nice features and luxurious materials; though there are some hard plastics, the door openings are wide and the flat floor provides abundant foot room. There is ample interior storage, and it will transport full-size adults with comfort. It lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay phone projection.
Its good points are the range, charging speed, performance, comfort, and un matched utility that it offers. The presenter notes, that aside from size, it offers an elevated pickup experience.
