The new 2017 GMC Canyon Denali

“Canyon is the segment’s first and only premium midsize truck, offering unparalleled capability and efficiency with maneuverability and refinement”, said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC sales and marketing.

Today, the brand announced they wish to go even higher: in an effort to challenge the Ford F-150 Limited (that now slots over the Platinum) and the RAM Laramie Limited, GMC will now offer an even more expensive version of the Sierra 1500: the Denali Ultimate.

Appearance-wise, both of these models gain a unique Denali chrome grille, plus 20-inch bright machine-finished aluminum wheels with painted accents, a spray-in bedliner, fog-lamp bezels, rectangular chrome assist steps, and a polished axhaust tip. It’s the cleanest diesel truck powerplant ever built by GM.

The inside of the Denali Ultimate is richly appointed, with heated/vented front bucket seats adjustable in 12 different positions, a heated steering and aluminium trim, as well as everything that comes with the regular Denali. All Denali Ultimate models will feature new front-end styling and have a standard sunroof, tow hooks, new tri-mode power steps, lane keeping assist, IntelliBeam headlamp controls and collision avoidance technology as well as an integrated trailer brake controller.

Also included is the IntelliLink multimedia interface with standard navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, OnStar 4G LTE WiFi connectivity, automatic climate control, remote start, and two USB ports added to the rear of the center console. Already pushing the envelope with its popular Denali trim levels in crossovers, SUVs and pickups, now GMC is introducing the all-new Denali Ultimate trim package.

You can grab the Denali treatment on the crew cab models powered by either the 3.6-liter gasoline V6 or the 2.8-liter diesel, since gifting a lesser-cabbed model with lavish elements wouldn’t have made sense.
