Review

I purchased the Yukon Denali in May of 2006. The truck rides great. The interior is roomy, the leather & components are sturdy & well built. My traction control light comes on occasionally but go off within minutes. The only major issue Ive had was a switch went out in the transmission causing the car to not recognize neutral & sometimes not go into reverse. This was fixed under warranty & has been problem free for the last year. One great thing is the saftey issue. My car was broad sided by a car running a light at 30 mph. The car was damged but barly felt it. The blue green color looks great changing color in the sun but shows all finger prints & dirt.

Favorite Features

6.2 gives plenty of power & pick up. Very sturdy & safe. Handles great for a SUV. Leather wears well. Heated steering wheel odd but nice touch. Navigation reliable. Power lift gate, remote start very nice. Power folding middle seats great.

Suggested Improvements

Manual shift mode works well but boring due to +/- button. Moving lever up/down would be more enjoyable. The steering wheel adjustment should be motorized instead of old school lever style.

Denali Fever

Review

What a truck. I traded in a 2004 Toureg V8 fully loaded for this Denali. Plenty of power, comfort, and style! I was very impressed with the car when we took it for a test drive and continue to be impressed with it 11 months later. Good build quality and I do enjoy that big 6.2 liter V8 rumble when you start it. Great truck for long trips.

Favorite Features

Leather drivers seat is very comfortable, V8 power, quality of the interior, speaker system.

Suggested Improvements

While the sound out of the stereo is good, the Denali could use a more accurate navigation system and you can't always see all the available channels for the satellite radio.

Review

This is a very nice vehicle. I love to drive this and it has a lot of power, and has good handling. The 10 Bose speakers are really good. We checked out the Tahoe, Armada, X5, Escalade, and Pathfinder, and this had more power (except Escalade) than the rest of them and better fuel economy. This also has power running boards that people really look at. Very comfortable 4 captain heated seats.

Favorite Features

Speakers, runningboards, power, comfort, and more

Suggested Improvements

HID lights woould be good and ipod adapter

My Denalli

Review

I purchased this 07 Denali, would have rather had a Tahoe, I think better styling. But love this Denali, fun to drive, comfortable, great turning radius. As most have mentioned could be better MPG, but for it's size not bad, 16-18. But I have to bite the bullet and drive this size vehicle due to bad knees, back, ankles, so need this size and would absolutely buy another. One of best vehicles I have ever had, no problems. The vehicle and dealers service dept. are better than sales dept. Wouldn't buy from this dealer again. Great in winter in MN, now have 35,000 on it no problems.

Favorite Features

Size, comfort, performance, styling other than front end, I think Tahoe looks better. Bought mainly to get the 6.2 engine.

Suggested Improvements

Wish they had a place for sunglasses and cell phone storage. I don't need or want 3rd row seating wish GMC would offer without 3rd row,like Tahoe, giving a flat floor and not having to store them all the time, which are basicly useless, no adult and most kids I know can't sit in them.

SLT 4x4 Yukon

2007 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV 4WD w/3SA (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

After coming from a BMW X5 pile of junk, this Yukon is a dream come true. Very comfortable to drive, pleanty of power, love the xm & navigation with back up camera. Not a single problem so far, and gas mileage is much better than the BMW. I look at it as the cost of transportation, how else are you going to get 4-7 people around in one vehicle?

Favorite Features

XM radio, back up camera, navigation, OnStar, nice interior

Suggested Improvements

Michelin tires

Review

I searched for one year to find a used one that had eveything that I wanted. Ended up with a fully loaded SLT with back up camera and power everything. I was not dissappointed. I looked at several luxury brands and none compared as far as space and quality of ride. We do a lot of trips from 200 to 500 miles and we rode in absolute comfort. Gas mileage isn't that bad for size of the truck. Visually appealing lots of second looks .

Favorite Features

Favorite is the backup camera and the and captatins chairs and dvd player for the kids. Driver controls on the steering wheel, onstar verison hands free calling (9.99 a month), power hatch and with remote start the ac is blowing before you get into the car on hot days

Suggested Improvements

Rear seats should fold into the floor and disappear unil needed. They are too heavy for the average mom to remove without assistance.

Review

After driving a mini-van for quite awhile, I was so excited about driving a truck again! In shopping around, we narrowed our choices down to the Yukon, Tahoe, and Armada. Fortunely, we fell upon a rebate that we just couldn't resist on the Yukon! I Love it! It has worked out very well for my children as well. There is plenty of elbow room for them. The rear A/C has been a lifesaver in our Texas heat! It runs smoothly, looks great, and gives us a secure feeling that we are well protected. The gas mileage could be better but we knew that when we bought it. The stereo is great and the instrument panel is well designed. OnStar, XM radio, and remote controls are wonderful. I highly recommend it!

Favorite Features

When grocery shopping, the remote control comes in very handy. The interior design is classy and convenient. Rear A/C is a must have!

Suggested Improvements

Obviously the gas mileage could be improved. Also, the cloth interior attracts every piece of lint, hair, and fuzz within a 2 mile radius! It probably isn't such a nuisance in trucks with darker colored interiors. Overall, excellent truck! I highly recommend it to everyone!

Good Vehicle

Review

Very spacious and comfortable. I am surprised on how little cargo storage room there is. It has a huge center console but that is it. Gas stinks but ,hey, it's a big vehicle. The interior is all plastic and the fake wood finish scratches very easily. Even most chrome accents are plastic underneath.

Favorite Features

Great take off when excellerating. Love the comfortable seating.

Suggested Improvements

More cargo space. No cubbies to hide and organize items. 3rd row should fold down flat. (Ford Expediition has this feature).Integrated iPod controls not just aux input.

Review

I've owned several Suburbans in the past; as we became empty nesters I figured that I didn't need such a large vehicle. We downsized for a while, (tried a Jeep) but finally decided that we really enjoyed the larger size of the Yukons. I've had this vehicle for a year now, put on about 13,000 miles and am rather impressed. Almost no issues; the only problem I've experienced is that the power liftgate does not function consistently when the temp drops below zero (I'm in Minnesota) - but then neither do I. Fit, finish, comfort excellent - smooth vehicle for an SUV. No funny noises, except for an AC belt that occasionaly chirped until it was adjusted.

Favorite Features

Interior fit and finish, styling of interior. Great sound system. Vehicle handles great in the winter - very sure footed. Love the power liftgate and the adjustability of the seating.

Suggested Improvements

Predictably, the fuel economy. I average 15 to 16 mpg in mixed driving, about 18-20 on the highway. I can get that with our Dodge Hemi pickup; I'm not impressed. Gearing fa little tall, tranny doesn't downshift soon enough. Front end styling is better on the Tahoes. Remote start has limited range.

Garbage Truck - Do not BUY!!!!!!!

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!
