Is it worth jumping to a 23 Ultimate Denali from 21 Denali?

I made a final decision and passed on the Ultimate. Came down to a silly thing. I don't love the wheels. The grill is iffy to me as well. That was my deciding factor.

I plan to wait on the refresh and order a regular Denali with black wheels and the ultimate reserve package. Comes out a few grand under an ultimate. If I dont like the grill or wheels what is the point?

GMC should offer the ultimate wheel in 3 finishes. current Vader chrome, shiny chrome, black. Still the ultimate wheel but 3 different finishes.
I haven’t liked those ultimate wheels from Day 1. I know they wanted something unique, but those don’t do it for me. Of course, I’m on the lowly painted 22’s (lowest cost 22’s there are) on my Denali. I like them because the painted accents match Satin Steele pretty well.

I agree I’m not a fan of the ultimate rims, they’re ok but for $100k they should have a few options for u to pick. I’m waiting for the refresh to possibly upgrade our Tahoe to an XL.

$7,500 for 13,000 isn’t that bad…

It’s not costing you $26k to have driven those 13,000 miles. It cost you like $7,500.

Once you’ve sold the Ultimate is when you can claim what the cost per miles would be.

This equates to me as like a lease at decent miles being turned in early. You’re just resetting the meter and paid to drive with no equity.
