2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Our family purchased a new Denali XL in September and are very pleased with it so far. The navigation and XM radio are great features. Very functional vehicle and well appointed. The extra money you pay is for the features you dont see, stabilitrack, automatic leving, auto- folding mirrors, and the 6.0L engine, and side impact airbags. With 4 kids, this is one of the few vehicles we could fit into and still have room to bring home the groceries and shopping bags. Only thing so far is the fold down rear entertainment DVD obstructs the rear view mirror when the DVD is in use. You have to get used to using side mirrors if the kids are watching a movie.
Favorite Features
Navigation, XM Radio, rear entertainment system, folding mirrors
Suggested Improvements
Raise the roof a bit for a little more head room. seems a little low. If the DVD had a larger screen option and could be installed behind the drivers headrest it wouldnt obstruct the rear view mirror.

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This SUV rides so nice you'd never know that you have all that car behind you. A pleasure to drive and own. Especially the heated seats. Thank you.
Favorite Features
Heated seats are a real luxury. Airconditioning works better with a roof window. You're able to get out all the hot air first.
Suggested Improvements
Cargo cover was a bust. Paint on center console is peeling! Wish there was a camera to see back of car with.
Denali is an Escalade

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I really wanted an Escalade ESV, but did not want to make my ride or my family targets for unlawful acquisitioning of my truck. My Denali XL has topped all of my expectations, including fuel mileage.
Favorite Features
Navigation System, XM Radio, Seat Comfort, Rearview Camera, Kids like the entertainment system with wireless playstation.
Suggested Improvements
More front leg room for driver, as I really have nowhere comfortable to place my left leg on longer trips and automatic tailgate closure button.
Love to tow our Correct Craft

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I purchased a 99 Denali and had many problems with brakes, batteries, transmission etc. I purchased a 2003 Denali XL on the advice of a friend and the suv is totally awsome, from the engien to the rear end no problems, none for the past three years so I decided to purchase a 2005 Yukon Denali XL same color. I personally don't like the Captain chair in the back so I ordered a bench seat. The car is Off the Hook. (excellent). GMC has repaired all problems since the 99 Denali. I am so impressed that I have convinced 6 clients to purchase the same SUV but in different colors
Favorite Features
Power, brakes, transmission, sound system and the outside as well as the inside appearance.
Suggested Improvements
Instead of a 4 speed transmission it should be a 5 or 6 speed transmission. Consider putting the bass speakers in the back of the car. Better battery. Plug in the back for your laptop and printer capability. Come with back up camera or park distance control (part of a package)

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I love my Denali. I couldn't wait to get it. I tossed around the idea of the large Escalade but it was about $10K more than I was willing to pay. The Denali was perfect for a mom on the go who wants a bit of luxury when taking the kids on playdates. As a former Suburban owner, I thought I'd won the lottery. Instead, I was disappointed. My Yukon XL Denali makes a whistling sound when sitting idle. I have taken it in and the dealership claims not to know what it is. Ironically, I know someone with the exact same model that is having the same problem. I've owned my truck for less than 8 months and I wish I would have bought the Escalade ESV.
Favorite Features
Suggested Improvements
More wood, muffler improvements to stop whistling sound coming from chrome muffler cover
