2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Needed a larger vehicle (had an '05 Sequoia) so we bought the Denali. I have four kids ranging in ages from 17 to 9. I tote kids around for soccer, volleyball, baseball, football, and dance - there is always plenty of room for everyone + friends. And it sounds awesome too!
Favorite Features
Nav, heated seats front and 2nd row, remote start, electric back hatch. I love everything about this vehicle.
Suggested Improvements
Front cooling seats would be nice for the price paid.
A pickup called SUV!

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 2500 4dr SUV 4WD w/3SA (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Bought this Yukon XL 4WD 2007 model back in June 2008 from the dealer in Amman / Jordan. It has a 16 inch standard rims with narrow 245/75 wheels. Unfortunately, this SUV is the worst feel car that I ever drove. You feel uncomfortable in the 1st row, extremely in the 2nd, and worst in the 3rd. It feels like riding an open pickup truck and not at all like an SUV. The suspension is poor, rigid, and when you ride over a bump, the whole SUV shakes like a one rigid piece. Overall, a very bad experience that I will never repeat.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
After being a happy owner of an '03 5.3 Yukon XL, we upgraded to the Denali in '07. What a great vehicle it has been! The main reasons for this selection were the upgraded features, the towing ability, and generous cargo/people space. The burble of the 6.2 reminded me of the string of late 90's TransAms I did time in. Things that made the GMC the best choice over the Navigator were interior ergonomics, the discrete (if not slightly understated) luxury, the engine/6-speed with manual shift selections, and the interior decor (looks great in tan/brown) two tone). Almost two years later, we have not been disappointed. We have had no quality or warranty issues what-so-ever.
Favorite Features
The towing capability of the 6.2V-8 is amazing. Pulling a 7,000lb rig is done with such ease, I can't believe that the stated towing capacity isn't something well north of 10,000lb. Also, I am very fond of the exhaust note/tuning - a great rumble!
Suggested Improvements
Two things. First the obvious, this thing is thirsty. Around the burbs, we're only seeing 13mpg! It does respectably on the highway - between 20 and 21. Second, I really liked the gray interior of my '03. You can only get the Denali in black or tan. I have the tan, but is tough to keep clean

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
First, I am a volleyball mom, buses the kids great with room to spare. It is also my ski vehicle and I haven't missed a great snow day yet with the 4WD, traction, and ABS. In the summer it tows my 5500 lb. boat over Colorado passes to my favorite lakes. It also towed my 30 ft. travel trailer up the entire California coast. Lastly, it tows my motorcycles to my favorite off road trails. I have only bottomed out once! Great tow with room for gear!
Favorite Features
Automatic start button on keychain, seat heaters, auto rear door (can ice shut), handles great even when towing, ride heigth, rear heat and air conditioning, dual climate controls, great sounding stereo, stops on a dime for an SUV, auto dimming mirrors, back up sensors are a must, information center
Suggested Improvements
Auto delay wipers are terrible in sleet and snow. My windsheild ices over to where I have to pull over because the defrost is inefficient. Wrong gearing for towing over mountain passes can not exceede 40 mph. Heater buttons require too much attention to use while driving.

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is a great family vehicle. Love its style and comfort. We got a good deal 10,000 off msrp. Only problem is a phantom rattle or vibration in front at low coasting speeds. Dealer can't seem to figure it out. Also we did not get leather so the seats are a terrible lint trap. They collect everything from lint to hair. Towing is great. The fake chrome interior door handles are bad, had to be replaced due to chipping. At that price you think it would be cheaper to do it right the first time.
Favorite Features
It looks great, feels great, drives great.
Suggested Improvements
Bad cloth interior collects all sorts of lint. Cheap interior door handles chips easily. Thought gas mileage would be better than older model.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
This was our third Denali. First 2 we loved, but new body was a headache. Constant downshifting with trans and dealership wouldn't acknowledge problem. Friend who's a mechanic has same computer as dealer and tells me all types of codes appear with his computer. Says they don't want to have to do recall with auto sales down (opinion). Paid cash and was dissapointed from day one. Poor gas mileage. Other than that, very comfortable and nice equipment. Have friends with either Yukon or Suburbans or Tahoes and everyone seems to have some type of tranny problem and dealers are looking the other way. Please beware of GM SUV's now. We just have to sell ours.
Favorite Features
Everything except 6 speed tranny.

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV w/3SA (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I like my Yukon, it is easy to manuever and I like to drive it. I previously owned a 1995 Yukon XL and still have it running in good condition at over 200,000 miles. It is more sturdy than the 2007 and I thought that I was getting the same value when I bought my 2007. I having problems with the automatic start though and my lights in the interior coming on when I unlock and open the doors.
Favorite Features
I like the leather seats. The ease of getting in and out of the third row seat.
Suggested Improvements
I like the sleek design, but the wind noise is very bad. For the price this should not be an issue that I have to deal with. Caps on battery chargers in front of vehicle should have been rubber instead of that hard plastice that I am sure they knew would not last long and break off.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I recently purchased my Denali for my expanding family. It is definitely much better than the Escalade. The power 2nd row seats are great and the DVD system is even better. Kids are much quieter in the back. You can watch a DVD in the front screen while parked. Navigation is easy to read and the denali handles very well. Great steering and stopping power. Power liftgate is a great option. Gas mileage is improved with the 6 speed transmission. I sit at 1500 rpms at 60 mph. If you want a stylish and reliable suv, keep the Denali on your list! Only problem: can't read the instrument gauge! It is black and hard to see during daytime. Need it in white! Black interior is very nice
Favorite Features
DVD, nav, heated seats, power 2nd row, power liftgate, 6 speed transmission, new GM warranty, memory seats
Suggested Improvements
Need auto-roll up windows, white-faced instrument gauge, telescoping steering, better interior trim

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
This vehicle has set new standards for me. I am a Suburban driver so I am new to the GMC family. This truck is really nice to drive so comfortable when on a long trip or in town. The Bose radio system has unbelievable sound. My Denali has every option you can get and they all have been great. The only thing is with the price of gas today the mileage could be better. But if I would have wanted 30 mpg I would have gotten a Honda or a small car. I just got 18.2 mpg on trip with the air conditioning on. Dont be afraid of gas mileage with this truck. The performance with the 380 hp engine has plenty of power for you.
Favorite Features
I love the Bose radio system, rear camera, room, ride and the power of the 380 ponies under the hood. The heated steering wheel and seats are also a plus. The many settings of the adjustable seat are good for my bad back.
Suggested Improvements
Make the dash easier to read. With sunglasses on it is hard to read because it is a dark color. The dash should have Heads-up display so you can read speed and in windshield and not on the dash, and better fuel mileage.

Review
I love my 2007 Denali XL but I have had major issues with it. Guages will quit working while driving, tells me to services suspension system, airbags, and tire pressure. Radio will not work, air condition freezes, windows wont roll down. Service dept has failed to fix it or find the problem. It has been in the shop 3 times. Also had leak in the rear damaged carpet and roof liner. Love the truck. I have been driving Denalis since 2000. I get a new one every year. Huge improvement from 06.

Comfort and peformance. Love the rumble of the engine.
