2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This Yukon replaced an 04 Tahoe w/ electrical issue. Love the comfort & interior space. Unfortunately we had it in the shop 7 times for 8 warranty issues in the 1st 6 mo. Now it's going through 6 quarts of oil in just 1,500 miles & I've had numerous other issues that were all warranty related. It's in the shop for no less than a week due to the oil issue which GM is aware of but as advised the dealer not to attempt repair. Luckily I have a good dealer they are trying to resolve the issue but have to tear apart the engine to do so. This all in 19 mo's of use. For the price it's not worth the frustration & days without it! Too bad b/c other than the warranty & oil issues I'd love it!
Favorite Features
Comfort, rides smooth, Seating for 8, sound system, the rumble, easy to use displays and information center. Customer service with the deal!
Suggested Improvements
Interior noise, fix transmission issues and oil burning issues, make sure you tighten all the nuts, bolts and screws before it leaves the plant. Use higher end equipment for the rear center consul auditory plugs.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
Replaced a 2001 YukonXL with a 2007 Denali. The quality of both has been great. The 2007 has side-airbags, stabilitrack and higher crash safety. This is not a good tow vehicle, on paper it looks great but the rear suspension is too squirmy - I think it is the air bags that level the load. The steering is ambiguous. A 3/4 ton YukonXL would have been a better choice.
Favorite Features
Engine and transmission - 6-speed and it will hold a gear.
Suggested Improvements
Steering is ambiguous, tows poorly, poor fuel use, and the windows do not have one touch up.

2007 GMC Yukon XL SLE 1500 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I have always driven Suburbans and I love them, but if this would have been the 1st one I ever owned I would never buy another one again. I have had nothing but trouble with it since I've owned it. At 13k my transmission went out and I had to be towed in and 19k the alternator went out. Transmission is acting up again and every once in a while it will say add oil to engine and they can not find a leak anywhere. Dealer had done my oil changes to make sure it is being done the correct way and it will still loose 2 quarts of oil. I am getting ready to trade it off and yes I am going to get another Yukon XL because I do love my GMC's but it will not be the 2007 model.
Favorite Features
Nice seating, XM radio, lots of room.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the transmission! Electrical problems with lights, and figure out what is going on with the oil loss.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV AWD (6.2L 8cyl 6A)
Review
I was waiting for this model to be available from the used car lot. I finally found the one I liked and was not disappointed. How surprised I was to achieve 17.5MPG driving 75MPH. I love every feature in this truck. Great improvements in the steering, suspension and transmission. the truck is much more stable and smooth on the road compared to 2001 model I had before. Great job GM!
Favorite Features
Room and power.
Suggested Improvements
Awful quality of the fog lights. had to replace them right away with aftermarket ones.
Love my Denali!

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.

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.
