Comments
I am someone who actually thinks the new Gmc look good but it’s not just my opinion but it seems to be the majority of the people out there plus 99% of the people who reviewed the truck that with such a competitive market out there an with this especially being Gm luxury line they didn’t go far enough with the interior I saw one review yesterday of the Denali an all he could say was plastic with when you looked in there in seems like no big effort was put into the design or materials I know gm is after profit but they have to step there game up I just get so tired of hearing about the trucks I love not living up to what they should be
Can we get a base AT4? Thanks. I will take it with 6.2/10 speed.
