2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
You will not be disappointed with this vehicle if you bought it to tow or carry people or both. Don't skimp on the engine choice. This big boy is worth the extra cash! Just plain fun to drive if you like performance. Pulling a boat loaded with gear for over 700 miles was a pleasure. I had to look in the mirror to make sure the boat was still there. The daytime reading of the instrument cluster is a pain. GM could take a lesson from Lexus in this area. Otherwise I am perfectly happy with this purchase, except I have to look for excuses to take it somewhere!!
Favorite Features
The remote fold-in mirror accessory is awesome! What a neat toy. The manual shift feature is a riot to use for some one who likes to "gear down". Keyless remote is another fun toy. This baby is full of fun toys.
Suggested Improvements
Let's light up the instrument cluster.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
We purchased '07 Denali XL as a replacement for BMW X5. For us, this car offered best combination of luxury, performance, and price. Interior design and trim are outstanding, 6.2L V8 is responsive and quiet, and suspension is soft, without sacrificing handling performance. Turning radius of this car is actually amazing, given its size. Right after break-in period, we are getting about 17.5-18 mpg on highway (driving between 70 and 75 mph, with 3 adults and 3 kids and some luggage, mostly flat road, AC cooling off 100F outside to 71F inside). Day to day mix of highway and city gives us around 14mpg. Compared to X5, this is about 1 less on highway - 2 in city, but w/ cheaper gas
Favorite Features
Space, space, space. There are very few vehicles with this kind of space, this level of trim, and this level of performance. V8, 6-speed, Autoride, DVD/XM/NAV system is probably one of simplest to use I've seen so far. Power liftgate, and easy access 3rd row are a big hit w/ Mrs.
Suggested Improvements
Compartments on the back two rows: there aren't any. Compartments in the trunk (there's only a small one for the emergency equipment. Fuel economy, of course, but hey, you've got to move this much steel. Front proximity sensors. We are not used to vehicle this tall.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Have had mine for a week+. I've had two other Yukon XL Denalis with an '05 the last. This one promises to be the best. One major flaw and a safety issue is that you cannot see the instrument cluster in daylight. Night viewing is fine. Before buying check that out and ask the dealer to guarantee a fix. The old Denalis had a built-in mud guards & the '07 doesn't so you should consider adding that or the sides of your vehicle will be a mess. With these two items fixed I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a BIG SUV to tow a trailer, boat or just to haul a bunch of "stuff" and/or people around in relative. I didn't expect great mileage and that expectation was fullfilled.
Favorite Features
Adjustable chime & turn signal volume, back-up camera, remote start, split third row seat, auto wipers, locking glove compartment, sliding sun visor, remote open/close rear cargo door, folding of second row chairs, feature programming and overall interior & exterior look, fit and finish.
Suggested Improvements
A recall instrument cluster is urgently needed so you can read your speed, rpms, gas level, etc. in daylight. It becomes a safety issue if you try to read it and take your eyes off the road for a long time trying to do so. They got just about everything else right but missed this by a mile.

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
We just upgraded from our '05 Yukon to the '07 Yukon XL (due to a new arrival in the family). I was skeptical that there would be little to no difference in the actual ride quality, but I am no longer skeptical. This vehicle is hands down more comfortable than the previous models. I won't purchase one with leather until GM can prove that it can install leather that doesn't wear so horribly. Ours is an SLE, but opted for the rear entertainment, remote start, and XM as well. I appreciate that you load the DVD to be played in the front of the vehicle instead of the rear. I must say that the ride rivals that of my parent's 2005 Lexus LX470. Test drive one, you will feel the difference
Favorite Features
Remote start, rear entertainment, easier to fold bench seats in the middle, clean & easy to use audio system, very comfortable seats, you can load the DVD to be played in the rear entertainment system from the front seat (it loads above the CD player), fuel economy isn't bad for a vehicle this size.
Suggested Improvements
Offer some organization to the center console in the front, no coin holders anymore

Review
GMC has hit a home run with 07 YukonXL Denali. Priced way less than Escalade ESV and much tamer looks, this SUV has it all. We've owned it just under a month and the family loves it. Great ride, lots of power..and yeah yeah..could use better mileage. Entertainment system a hit with the kiddos,and Dad loves how it handles. Get one, you'll love it.
Favorite Features
Auto Open tailgate, remote start, DVD entertainment. 2nd row buckets are great. Lots of room to move around back there. Great attention to interior detail design.
Suggested Improvements
The auto flip feature for the 2nd row, in my opinion is a waste of money. Come up with Ipod plug in to run directly from radio. Glove compartment is small. Better gas mileage. Still an awesome rig.

Review
Only days with my new YukonXL Denali and it's clear GM has hit a grand slam! Awesome ride, excellent comfort, power to spare at 380HP, DVD is great for the kids, 20 inch chrome wheels dress it up, build quality seems great, this vehicle (Black Onyx and Black Leather interior) is a head turner. Sure gas mileage could be better (currently 11 to 13 MPH around town...expect it to improve slightly). GM did their homework and got the voice of the customer in designing the new Denali. Impressive.
Favorite Features
The ride is great...interior design is friendly..DVD system is great...and 10 speaker Bose stereo rocks. The 20 inch chrome wheels dress it up.
Suggested Improvements
One touch up bottom for windows. Integrated Ipod holder/player connections. 3rd row seat seems low to floor...more a theater seat would be better...and oh yeah, better fuel economy.

Review
This is our third Yukon second Denali and it's great. Its drivability, style,accesories and comfort are exceptional. My wife bought it for me for mothers day and we have driven it everyday since. It has plenty of power, handles bumpy roads with the smoothness of our Lexus. The interior with the XM radio makes you want to just sit in the car. We were discussing putting in a DVD and sit in the back and watch a movie but it did not come with popcorn. seriously very happy with this vehicle.
Favorite Features
Rear view camera, backup radar, tilting mirrors, collapsing mirrors, fuel economy
Suggested Improvements
Better reading light for passenger side that doesn't bother the driver
