2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Just a fantastic vehicle, drives wonderfully, handles well, never any problems. Love the GPS system, very easy to use.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, GPS system, and entertainment system.

Suggested Improvements

Add a "Pause" button to the CD system, (Wow, is that annoying)second and third row that will fold "into" the floor like the Honda Odyssey. Add A/C to seats.

2006 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

We have had numerous repairs to brake system rotors pads to no avail. Brakes squeak like crazy. Tires wore out at less than 15,000 miles. Replaced with Michelins and rotors warped and brakes still squeak. GM says brake noise is normal. Not for what I paid for this piece of junk!

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

The Denali is a great vehicle for someone looking for a long term vehicle that can handle anything you through at it. It can tow. It can haul. It can deliver you to far away destinations with supreme comfort and entertain you and your passengers on the way. It even tells you how to get there.

Favorite Features

GPS, built in XM, DVD player, heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

Exterior trim is easily damaged. More metal, less plastic please.

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

We traded in our 2004 Dodge Duango Limited in November on a 2006 Denali XL. The ride and comfort is much better in the Denali and it's packed with features for only being priced in the mid 50's. Our new found love for the Denali did not last long. We have had problems continuously. Some as minor as the radio freezing up to severe problems such as a transmission replacement at 14,000 miles! The DVD system acts up, the Nav only works about half the time, the transmission still shifts hard, the radiator and hoses were replaced at 14,500 miles, you name it, it's been worked on!! The quality of build is poor for the price and I wish we would have considered Lincoln, Infiniti a little more.

Review

The only thing that seems to be missing is the "back-up warning system". Why GMC and Chevrolet have not included this feature (especially for such large vehicles) is beyond me.

DVD and XM radio

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

The Denali XL is the best on the market. Even though it is expensive it is worth every penny. I searched for a vehicle that would be suitable for the entire family for 2 months. When I saw the Denali online I told my husband this is what I want. The drive is beyond smoothness. Very comfortable.

Favorite Features

Seat Warmers in the rear.(kids love it) DVD, satellite Radio, Navigation System and OnStar. Spacious in the rear. automatic lock and sunroof. Just awesome.

Suggested Improvements

More leg room in front.

2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Since back surgery a few years ago, I've been lucky to be able to sit in a car for more than 3-4 hours. With the Denali, that is a thing of the past! I've had a couple of 10+ hour days behind the wheel and felt great once arriving to my destination. This alone justifies the cost to me, as I can now visit clients further away more often. And this thing is FUN to drive! You don't really notice all the size except when parking, and the car has a very responsive and solid feeling while on the open road. My favorite car yet. Sad to say, the classic exterior styling of the Denali is gone in favor of a more "Ford" look in the 2007 line.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, navigation system, rear entertainment package, second row heated seats, (used very often), overall styling (esp with chrome wheels).

Suggested Improvements

Needs a heated steering wheel. Should offer larger rear video screen. Navigation system should allow an override that allows use while driving (for passenger use) and screen should be larger and allow for video. Needs 6" more legroom in the front. Back-up camera & remote starter would be great.

Review

I love this vehicle. It fits my whole family, plus relatives in town, plus all of their luggage. The fuel mileage is better than I expected on a 4wd and the Onstar phone system is very convenient. Most people that see me think I am a football player because of this car. I simply agree and then walk away. If you are in the market then buy this car.

Favorite Features

Navigation Radio, 6 Disc CD changer(in dash), Onstar hands free calling, 300+ Hp.

Review

This our 3rd Yukon and I have had a great experience with each one! Between carpooling and out of town trips we are in this truck all of the time and it is always comfortable and reliable!!

Favorite Features

My favorite features are the DVD player and navigation system. They makes those long car trips nice and quiet and less stressful.

Suggested Improvements

I would love to see a rear camera so I can better see what is behind me while backing up. I would also like to have a door locking button by the back hatch.
