Expert Verdict

Worth the premium over the Silverado only if you want the Denali cabin. Otherwise the mechanicals are identical.

Pros & Cons

What We Love

  • MultiPro tailgate
  • Denali interior is genuinely luxurious
  • Super Cruise hands-free driving
  • Duramax diesel option

Things to Consider

  • Denali trims are very expensive
  • Fuel economy on the V8
  • Overlaps heavily with the Silverado
