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.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
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.
Favorite Features
Comfort and peformance. Love the rumble of the engine.

Love the style & power, like the rest.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I love the exterior styling of this vehicle and the actual driving experience. After 16 months, still love the low rumble of the engine, the power and the smooth ride. Also pleased with the space for both passengers and cargo. Most complaints are minor design flaws noted by other owners. Front console needs compartments, 2nd row needs under-seat storage, 3rd row should fold flatter, remove easier. Main complaint is the brake dust rusting on the sides of the vehicle behind the wheel wells!
Favorite Features
I really think the exterior styling makes it one of the sharpest vehicles out there, 2nd only to the Pearl White Escalade which is $10k more! I think the MPG is acceptable for the size of the vehicle and the power it has. I like the park assist feature, Bose stereo, XM radio & mp3 compatibility.
Suggested Improvements
Make center console more useful, somehow provide storage for center row, make 3rd row easier to convert, improve design on front bumper-have broken those clips & cracked bumper from the scoop effect in the snow. Please rectify the issue with the brake particles flaking off and rusting on the paint!

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD w/3SA (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Great truck. With newborn twins and two older kids along with 2 dogs this truck fit our needs very well. Was very happy with the truck until the 12000 mile service. There is already a TSB. If you get any knocking in the engine, engine warning lights, traction control or stabilitrack error messages- go to your dealer! Cylinder #3 was self-destructing and they will not let me drive it due to safety concerns. Will see how long a new engine takes and am concerned that the new one will have the same issues.
Favorite Features
Remote start, rear bucket seats, remote liftgate
Suggested Improvements
Engine that makes it past 1 year and 12000 miles. Adjustable 2d row seats. Fold-flat 3d row seats.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
This is an all-round great vehicle except for a few minor things that are ruining the experience. It has the worst high beams since my wife's Aerostar van (a candle anyone?); electrical gremlins have surfaced - the headlights go out while driving and then mysteriously return later - dealer can't diagnose and OnStar can't find anything; while idling, the truck activated the windshield washers and emplied the tank; problems with the rear view camera that were fixed with upgraded contacts. Driven responsibly, the fuel economy is on par with my 2005 AWD Yukon XL (a bit worse in town and a bit better on the highway). Tons of room inside yet remarkably easy to park in the city.
Favorite Features
Engine (accelerates faster than anything this size should!), the speaker system, heated steering wheel, review camera, nav system, cabin materials (leather seats are much nicer than the vinyl look leather from previous generation), the ride (even with 20" wheels)
Suggested Improvements
Bluetooth, fuel economy (maybe a high efficiency diesel or displacement-on- demand), a CD changer with the navigation system, second and third row DVD players (like the Escalade ESV), smooth out the 6-speed, make the heated steering wheel come on with the seats in the winter when starting by remote.

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 2500 4dr SUV 4WD (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This truck is great. I have 3 kids, a husband and a German Shepard and it fits all with great comfort. The extra space in the rear is great for the travel luggage of 5 people.
Favorite Features
XM radio, OnStar and Bose stereo, DVD
Suggested Improvements
Rain guards. The cloth seats should at least be treated before selling. They tend to take on a lot of other fabric and hair and it makes it very hard to get an ebony interior looking nice again.

Review
Bumper cracked from end to end after backing out of driveway over small mound of snow was told by owner of body shop that it wasn't our fault it was the fault of poor design of front bumper, will always have this concern because front bumper acts like a huge scoop that allows accumulation and eventual breaking of 2 clips which are currently backordered more than likely they are in demand because of all the bumper repairs was told to strongly pursue issue because of possible chronic replacements GM will not assist unless brought to GM dealership at our expense for evaluation Will they risk alerting the customer of this design fault, we think not WILL PURSUE THIS WITH ALL WE'VE GOT! GM FAILS

Redesign front bumper,TOO LOW, acts like big scoop and will gather debris when backing up and will cause clips to break and bumper to fail!! BOdy shop owner personally called us with the news of the poor design and that it will continue to happen if not addressed!!! Stand by your product GM!!!!!!!!

Review
OK so I used to drive a Mercedes Benz G wagon. I thought this Denali would be way slow. But to my suprise it was not! I love everything about it. It gets up and goes whenever I hit the gas, and the navigation is very helpful.
Favorite Features
Chrome grille, power, wheels!
Suggested Improvements
Making it in pearl white, (white diamond)
