Seating a Problem

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

Review

Love the ride, the power and the exterior design. This is the 7th Suburban/Yukon XL I've owned and by far the best in comfort, power, gadgets, and looks.

Favorite Features

20" Tires, 6.2 liter engine, exterior design

Suggested Improvements

I'm in the funeral business and the revised 2nd and 3rd row seating make it impossible to easily utilize for business purposes. Need to remove one of the 2nd row buckets completely and put in a custom floor for work use. GPS system is poor. I've seen better in other vehicles.

Review

Of course this Denalli is awesome in every way. I thought our 03 Yukon was the best thing since sliced bread, but the Denalli made it seem like a 2 for 1 deal at KIA. But have you ever removed your third row seats? If you don't have a chiropractor you better get one. Why are these not folding flat yet? It makes me cringe when we need the space! Where's the hood light? Also a vehicle in this price range really should have air conditioned seats. And last but not least, as expected the stellar gas mileage. Obviously OPEC subsidises these vehicles in order to keep profits up, I mean this truck will outrun most sports cars on the road today but you'll never pass a gas station.

Favorite Features

Handles like no other full size truck. Nothing but motor under the hood. Once inside you think you're in a limo.

Suggested Improvements

3rd row seating

Review

I bought this vehicle for carrying multi-passengers and for towing a boat. It does both with style and ease. The big engine option is worth it if you are going to tow, but don't expect stellar gas mileage from this. It does well for what it is. Console with DVD/Navigation gets a little busy and the illumination of the dials could be better. After 7 hours of driving I am not beat like I was driving our Lexus. This is a great blend of towing power and comfort.

Favorite Features

The power and the 6 speed transmission. The style is attractive

Suggested Improvements

Better illumination of the gauges. Fold down seats in the prior models was more functional.

2007 Denali XL

Review

Incredibly smooth ride for a vehicle of this size in and around city. Handles with great ease, acceleration is smooth and corners very well. Inside of vehicle is done tatefully with easy access to navigation and audio controls. Captains seats in second row are very comfortable and leave an access to third row for kids from middle without having to remove the second rows every time you have to get off. It also makes the inside feel very open and roomy.

Favorite Features

Hook up for iPod next to CD slot. Navigation system, captains seats in second row, cargo room for plenty of luggage. Side mirrors roll down automatically with touch of button.

Suggested Improvements

No 6 CD Changer, DVD and CD go into same slot (If you are watching DVD~~ you cannot play CD at same time) to listen in front seats. 3rd row seat has poor leg room behind captains seats. No Bluetooth compatability (Can you believe it).

Improved While Missing?

Review

Purchased on 2/23/2007 to replace my 04 Yukon XL Denali. It has a lot of upgrades for only 2k than the 03. The steering is much improved along with handling. The updated NAV and dash layout is great! Entry into the rear seats is much easier with power fold up. The sunroof does not make the presure noise of the past. Six speed trans is very smooth and increased MPG by 5 already. I miss the old seats, and dual tip computer on the steering wheel. The cruise is better, but like the old stereo controls. The center console is larger, but glove is smaller. It seems like lots of vinyl instead of leather with lots of plastic. The dash is hard to read in daylight and missing 2nd visor. New Opts a +

Favorite Features

Navigation, dash layout, park assist, BU camera. Remote start, power liftgate. Power 2nd seats, 3rd row split removal. Rear entertainment. New engine and 6 speed transmission.

Suggested Improvements

HID Headlights, more leather, storage compartments, more cup holders (larger), better (old) trip computer, chiro seats (old), double visor, front park sensor, disel with Allison Trans, fold flat 3rd row, AC front seats. Still $10,000 less than Escalade.

Review

I can't rave enough about this vehicle to do it justice! It overshot everything I expected of it. I thought my 2003 Suburban was the ultimate but this 2007 version surpasses it. It is quiet, superior ride and handling, power up the whazzoo, smooth as silk and outstanding fuel economy! Thank you General Motors! Once again you have whizzed passed all the rest with a mile or more to spare!

Favorite Features

Steering, ride, quiet, silky smooth, quality and power!

Suggested Improvements

A bit too pricy!

Review

Purchased about 2 months ago and has been nothing but fantastic! The Yukon XL handles well and GMC offers features to appease anyone. I highly recommend for anyone that is looking for a large SUV. Gets better than expected gas miles on the highway but does drink it down in the city.

Favorite Features

Navi, style, comfort, handling, nice options!

Suggested Improvements

Cannot find any at this point!

Clunk in my get along

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.

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.

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.
