2007 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I have had repeated difficulty with the electronics resulting in electric locks going uncontrollably up and down and the vehicle shutting down. I was also disappointed in On-Star. After purchasing turn x turn directions, I learned that the sattellite was not working in my area. They just kept my money until I brought it up after asking for directions and receiving the new of not having sattellite coverage in my area. I tried made in the USA, and I lived to regret it. POOR JOB GM!!!!!

Favorite Features

It looks pretty.

Suggested Improvements

How about being able to actually drive it!

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali (6.2L)

Review

I traded in my 2002 Yukon XL Denali, back in May/06 for my 07' Yukon XL Denali. I could not be happier with my choice, I got the Sealth Gray Met. w/Ebony Int. and the DVD system. the fit and finish on this truck is light years ahead of my 02' truck and even the 06'Yukon. I only took the for GM to almost go out of business before they allowed the designers to ready get it right this time. Maybe more people with take another look at GM and they can get back on track.

Favorite Features

Power, comfort, room, AWD, functions

Needs a Lot More Refinement

Written by: Kevin H on 12/26/2007

2007 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

This is my 4th new GMC truck in as many years. GMC has some work left to do on this one, with some areas that greatly need improving. The entire drivetrain needs refinement. The engine has decent power, but the transmission is horrible. Compared to the Allison in my last diesel, this 6 speed GM made transmission is junk. It is not happy in any gear but reverse, and is confused the rest of the time. It is geared too tall. Same with the fly-by-wire throttle. It is as unpredictable as the one in the ill famed Audi 5000S. The cheap plastic on the interior is horrible. It is the same poor quality stuff they put in all low end GM's. Very bad for a $55k SUV. Never again.

Favorite Features

Strong motor (why only 380hp in the GMC vs 403hp in the Escalade? Perhaps a marketing ploy to differentiate the Escalade?), great looks (except headlights), decent electronics (no iPod control?), nice leather seats (could be a bit softer), good towing capacity. Flexible seating arrangement.

Suggested Improvements

Horrible transmission, too tall gearing, throttle, plastic interior, woodgrain plastic, chicklet sized buttons on climate controls, no iPod control option, autoride problems that can't be fixed, ugly headlamps, poor ground clearance, poor headroom, cluttered steering wheel.

Perfect through 10,000 miles

2007 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

At the 10,000 mile mark, the truck has been perfect. Excellent power, handing, and turning radius make this a great vehicle for hauling the family and friends to basketball, baseball, gymnastics, or wherever we are going. Simply put, this truck has lived up to, and exceeded, all my expectations.

Favorite Features

OnStar, remote start, retractable running boards, nav, power lift gate, rear view camera.

Suggested Improvements

Blue tooth...of course.

2007 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I bought one of the first 2007 Yukons when they became available in 2006, and over the last 18 months I've put 28,000 miles on it. It's a marvelous vehicle to drive. It's fun, powerful and easy to steer, and the tight turning radius is extremely helpful in crowded parking lots. The XM radio is better than I thought it would be, and the power-assisted lift gate is actually very useful, addictive almost. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that can afford to fuel it. In stop and go city driving, you're looking at 10 or 11 mpg (on a good day). For extended highway driving, it is entirely possible to get 18-22 mpg, but the average will be 17-18 mpg

Favorite Features

Heated seats (1st and 2nd rows!), comfortable driver's seat, good interior controls, fun to drive, nice heavy 3 ton weight lets you know that you have nothing to fear from stupid teenagers driving their Prius too fast.

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy that is miles per gallon, and not gallons per mile. Needs a filter for outside air

2007 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I bought Yukon SLT2 as 2007 clearance from dealer. I drove 2001 Denali before, and very impressive. When I got myself own, feel awesome and better than previous version. Large space, powerful engine and nice Boss sounds. Very nice mix mpg, highway, local plus traffics, 16MPG, same as my friend's Nissan Xterra. but some bugs are annoying me, engine light is always on since the second day after I take it home. And the tire pressure shows 63 35(front), 33 35(rear), sensor stinks!

Favorite Features

Everything except those defects

Suggested Improvements

Don't use capital c interior, change to 2-3-3 or 2-3-3 flat seats. Bluetooth!

Review

Keep in mind I am new to American cars. I bought this car because I wanted something comfortable with 3 row seating. For some reason I got so taken in by how comfortable it was driving the car that I forgot to even check the other rows, which I normally do when checking a car. I love how comfortable it is, nice, big, and seats 8...well that's what I thought. I guess after looking at the Sequioa and the Armada I thought it was safe to assume that the 3rd row had more than enough room...think again. Maybe the fact that I am 5'8" doesn't help, but I would expect for there to be room for me in the 3rd row. Overall the car is what it is, but for such a pricy American car I expected more.

Favorite Features

Driver seat comfort, DVD rear entertainment system, low noise, turn radius way better than any other I have driven.

Suggested Improvements

Adjustable/reclining 2nd row would be great for enjoying the DVD and bose system and to make leg room for 3rd row seating, a little more trunk space without having to move up to the XL version. Better rear light design, too traditional. HID's would be great.

Gotta love the Fuel Management System

Written by: Chris on 09/24/2007

Vehicle

2007 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I had a 99 Denali, then switched to the Envoy and Envoy XL for a few years. When I saw the 07 Yukon, I knew I had to have it. My wife wouldn't let me get the Denali(cost), but I have enough features on the one I got, so I'm not complaining. The big selling point was the fuel management system (V8/V4 auto switching). I get the same MPG as I did with my V6 Envoy XL. This the best Yukon yet! I can't even imagine how nice the Denali must be.

Favorite Features

Fuel management system, power fold in mirrors, and backup sensors.

Suggested Improvements

I wish the seats would fold flat in 2nd row. Even without the third row, the second row is 5" higher than the cargo area, when folded down.

Nice Truck / Poor Mileage

2007 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I had a 2005 Yukon and I loved it. Got great milage and the only issue I had was the information display control were on the steering wheel. On the 2007 they moved the information controls to the dash, but I hate the circular gauge/dash design which is echoed in the head/tail lights.

Favorite Features

This is a luxury vehicle. The interior and seating are excellent.
