Clunk in my get along

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

At 3600 our '07 Yukon started having what I thought was transmission slipage. Dealer lubed slip yoke, then proceeded to replace 2 of them to no avail. Now worse than ever! If I didn't have a klunk in my rear end I would be very happy. Much improved from our '99.

Favorite Features

Love the satellite radio.

Suggested Improvements

Paid for power fold 2nd row, but w/ auto exit, power feature doesn't work. Have to manually move 1st row seating.

First Yukon XL delivered to my dealer.

Review

The vehicle performs very well. Towing a travel trailer across the country I got 12 mpg which I thought was fine. Solo it gets close to 20. Over 6,000 miles it has used no oil and the computer says to change it at 15,000 miles. The fit and finish was a little disappointing. I need to take it to the dealer to have the strip on the passenger side replaced as it is falling off. The right rear wheel well also has a slight defect. Other than the finish problems the vehicle performs very well. The navigation system is very good and performs exceedingly well. It got us out of several problems with detours. The preprogammed trips are excellent.

Favorite Features

Navigation system. Driver information system.

Suggested Improvements

The instruments should have white backgrounds and black letters and numbers. It is extremely difficult to read them in the daytime. At night no problem.

Great Fun Car!

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

Review

Purchased this car on 01/02/07 to replace our 2001 Suburban LT 4x4. Demo with 1000 miles on it. Immediately drove from SF Bay area to Lake Tahoe for a week's vacation. Remote start was unbelievable. Start the car from the house, 10 minutes later, the car is warmed up, heat on full, heated seats on, etc. Such a pleasure! Kids love the DVD with wireless headsets, mom can listen to her music, too! Handles the mountain altitude extremely well - the 6-speed automatic really shifts smoothly on the steep inclines. Much better than the 'Burb. Poor FM reception and distance. Great XM radio, but we need road conditions, etc.

Favorite Features

Love remote start, rear heated seats, DVD system. 20" chrome wheels are pretty pretty too.

Suggested Improvements

Really, really, poor design of sun visors. The Suburban (2001) had much better and more versatile design. Would love to find some aftermarket replacement for them. No place to put change (no ashtray). The cavernous console storage could use a couple of compartments inside. No underseat storage.

Traded Expedition and love this SUV!

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

Review

I had two Expeditions before getting the Denali XL. The first Expedition (pre 2003 model) was great. The next Expedition was awful! Which makes the Denali look that much better! I love the space (Expedition lacked terribly), love the look, love the package (I got it loaded out), love everything about it (except of course the MPG... but was expected!). If you are looking for a wonderful SUV that is large enough to take a family of 5 (3 boys and mom and dad) on vacation yet nimble enough to park in the Walmart parking lot, this is it! Can't give it enough praise!

Favorite Features

Space, handling, ride, backup camera, look, DVD controls in front, navigation, controls.

Suggested Improvements

Owners manual impossibly long. Still haven't figured out how to control temp in back or DVD player from the front. Should come with a video to show us the basics.

Best full size SUV

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

Review

Excellent SUV for price/size/features. I am totally satisfied with the ride, handling and power. My wife and kids loves it. I think its mileage is better when compared to other SUVs at the same size.

Favorite Features

Awesome Nav/DVD/XM combo console plus read screen and very user friendly. Folding outside mirrors, power liftgate.

Suggested Improvements

Cut the 2nd row power lift-up option which does not help much and get stuck at times. Instrument cluster needs to be on at all times. It is not very visible during daylight when off. 3rd row seat needs to fold down flush to floor as most other brands such as Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc

Review

I love driving my wife's new Yukon. Overall a really great ride. I drive 2005 Ford Truck and this GMC truck rides like a car. Ford can take a cue.

Favorite Features

Smooth ride. Power liftgate. Size, cargo capacity. Interior design, wireless phone, good looks.

Suggested Improvements

GM needs to provide instructions to install the optional cargo net. Almost ruined the interior drilling holes. Need override for active fuel management to keep engine in V4 mode.

Review

This truck drives great! We have two small children and it works great for our family.

Favorite Features

We really like the power lift gate and the backup monitor. We also like the versatility of the seat configurations. It is very easy to switch the seats around. We love the touch screen on the navigation system, too.

Suggested Improvements

Air conditioned seats would be nice.

2007 Yukon XL Denali

Vehicle

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

Review

Upgraded from a 2003 Envoy XL. Love the Denali model. Big truck, the 6.2l engine has a nice rumble to it. MPG is as you would think, about 12mpg. But hey, if you wanted 40mpg, go buy a Honda.

Favorite Features

Leather interior is plush and feels like it should. Doesn't feel cheap like the leather used in older models. DVD doesn't interfere too much with the rear view mirror.

Suggested Improvements

The park-assist mirrors blind you when backing out of a driveway and its a pain to keep turning them on and off.
