Could a GMC Denali Be Your Next Truck?

If you’re looking for a pickup truck, you have plenty of options to choose from. But not all of those options are the same. If you want a truck with rugged capability, cutting-edge tech, a luxurious cabin, and sharp looks rolled into one, that will narrow your choices considerably. But don’t worry — there is a way to get all that and more in one well-built truck.

As your go-to source for GMC trucks for sale near Ripley, we here at Crossroads Chevrolet GMC are proud to carry the full lineup of Denali trucks. These premium pickups have everything you need to ensure that wherever you’re going, getting there will be half the fun. Today, we will look at the 2025 Denali lineup so you can see what it’s like to reach the summit and get a truck loaded with every feature you could ever want or need. Read on if you’re ready to treat yourself to a model that’s a cut above the rest.

Canyon Denali

You don’t have to buy a full-size truck to get a full slate of Denali features. The midsize Canyon offers a Denali trim that is perfect for drivers who want a smaller truck to get around Ripley without sacrificing quality. The 2025 model can tow up to 7,700 lbs and comes standard with 4WD, so you have all the traction you need to tackle wet roads and rough terrain.

Speaking of rough terrain, the Canyon Denali comes standard with rugged features like an off-road suspension with a 2-inch factory lift. Selectable drive modes, too, come standard, with options like Terrain, Off-Road, Normal, and Tow/Haul. Switching between modes quickly changes your truck’s settings to provide optimal performance for your situation.

As a Denali model, this version of the Canyon also has plenty of luxury awaiting you inside the cabin. Premium materials look and feel great, with leather-appointed seats and open-pore wood trim setting the mood. Those seats don’t just look good — they also feel great with both heating and ventilation to keep you comfortable in any weather. Both front seats are power-adjustable with power lumbar support to get your position right. Driver memory lets you get your preferred position back with the push of a button after you park, valet, or let a friend take a turn behind the wheel.

In addition to creature comforts, plenty of tech features are designed to make your driving experience as convenient as possible. Instead of worrying about easily lost and damaged cables, you can keep your phone powered up with a wireless charging pad. Instead of taking your eyes off the road to check the touchscreen for navigation directions, you can use the head-up display, which projects directly onto the lower windshield. Instead of settling for okay sound quality, you can thoroughly enjoy your favorite music on the road with a Bose premium sound system.

Sierra 1500 Denali & Denali Ultimate

The full-size Sierra 1500 is a popular model that’s just the right size for most truck drivers. This model gives you a Denali trim and an even more luxurious Denali Ultimate option. The Denali trim comes standard with a capable 5.3L V8 engine that significantly upgrades over the standard powertrain, giving you 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Taking things another step up, the Denali Ultimate comes standard with a 6.2L V8 engine that produces up to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Depending on how you configure your truck, you can tow up to 9,400 lbs. On either trim, you can switch to a 3.0L diesel I-6, bringing hp down to 305 hp but raising torque to 495 lb-ft.

While it’s not quite as off-road capable as the rugged AT4 and AT4X trims, the Denali models are nothing to sneeze at. 4WD is available on the Denali and standard on the Denali Ultimate for a superior grip. Both models come standard with an automatic locking rear differential and selectable traction modes, including an off-road mode.

Both Denali trims also come standard with a premium suspension system that adjusts to real-time changing road conditions to give you a smooth ride. Whether you’re driving around Ripley, off-roading, or heading out into areas with poorly maintained roads, nothing can ruin your ride.

The Sierra 1500 Denali has all the creature comforts of the Canyon Denali and then some. In addition to heated and ventilated front seats, you also get heated rear outboard seats. The front seats are 12-way power adjustable, giving you the freedom to unlock new positions. And in the front and back, everyone will have more room to stretch out in the full-size truck’s cabin than in a midsize model.

You can expect even more from Denali Ultimate. This fully decked-out truck has 16-way power-adjustable front seats with a built-in massage function to help you unwind after a hard day’s work. It also has an even more premium Bose sound system, with 12 speakers and CenterPoint surround sound, bringing the concert experience into your cabin. And while both Denali trims come standard with GMC’s innovative MultiPro tailgate (which lets you reconfigure the tailgate as a step, a backstop, a work station, and more), only the Denali Ultimate comes standard with a MultiPro audio system by Kicker. This weatherproof Bluetooth speaker setup can bring your next tailgate party to the next level.

There are also tech upgrades that make your life easier. A universal home remote can replace your garage door or gate opener, so you never have to worry about its battery dying after a long day out and about. The Denali Ultimate comes standard with a rear camera mirror that allows you to use the rearview mirror without an obstructed view, even when you’re towing a large trailer or have a tall passenger sitting in the back.

Sierra HD Denali & Denali Ultimate

The Denali trims on the Sierra HD aren’t too different from those on the Sierra 1500 when it comes to comfort and convenience features, so we won’t waste your time repeating all the highlights. As you’re probably aware, what’s different about the heavy-duty model is how much power you’re getting under the hood.

The Sierra HD Denali comes standard with a 6.6L gas-powered V8 engine that produces up to 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. On Denali Ultimate models, you get upgraded to a 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 that produces up to 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. Depending on your configuration, you can tow up to 30,800 lbs while still enjoying all the luxuries of a Denali, giving you the power to work hard, play hard, and relax in between.
