Looking to purchase a GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate

[Ct Pirate]

Hey all,

I've been out of a Yukon for 4 years and I'm going back. My question is I'm looking at the Ultimate package but is the 2017 & 2018 the same? Can I go back a year and still get all the bells and whistles? Before the salesman fill my ears and head with bs I figured I'd ask the pro's what the deal is.

Thanks in advance.

I would do a Google search for 2017 & 2018 Ultimate package and compare or go to the GMC website and build both to compare or go to my local GMC Dealer and look at a 2017 & 2018 window sticker on new vehicles and see what is in the description of the ultimate package. You could go before they open or after they close and not have to deal with the sales staff.

Before buying mine, I did some custom builds on the website and it seems that the Denali Ultimate Package may save you a few hundred bucks to around a grand...compared to just adding all the options separately without the package.
As far as the differences between the 17 and 18 go...the 18 has the brand new grill which I really like. I thought the previous grill looked outdated and old. The 18 also has the new 10 speed engine.

Yeah that new transmission is really sweet and the grill is nice. I had a 2012/15 and the grill was the exact same as the 2017. So it looks like I'm pushing for the 18.

Thanks Guys

I hate to be 'that guy'.
But you would think with a designation such as ULTIMATE, the truck would contain more exterior upgrades than an exhaust tip, mirror caps, and different GMC wheels.

I was honestly expecting something blacked out, chromeless, etc. These things are already pretty blinged out. I just can't see those changes being anything noticeable.

This comes to mind when I hear ULTIMATE.

That XL is damn near perfect. If it wasn't for having a family of 6 now....I'd throw some 26s on my 18 XL and drop it 2/4 like I did on my Tahoe.

Yeah I hear you on that, seems its more the auto running boards, and the "infotanement" system. Heck I had to ADD a subwoofer for another $300 to the "Ultimate package"
