Stay far away from GMC

2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
My 5 month old Yukon XL Denali suffered catastrophic engine failure over two weeks ago with only 12,000 miles on it. From the mouth of the service manager at GMC, there is an ‘epedemic’ of complete engine failure, just like mine in the 6.2L engine. I need a complete engine replacement which is on back order nationwide. Funny that they have engines to build new Denali’s to sell to … unsuspecting customers, but refused to provide replacement engines to those have all who have already signed on the dotted line. Run away from GMC. Customer service is nonexistent and they, do nothing to help the consumer after purchase.
They don’t make them like they used to

2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
Although these vehicles are beautiful to look at, they definitely don’t make them like they used to. I didn’t even have it 2 full days and the radio and sound throughout the whole vehicle went out. It wouldn’t work again until I shut the car down for the night and tried again the next day. Hasn’t happened again for a few days, but from what I’ve investigated, it’s prone to happen again. … It’s got a few things that I’m not too happy about. Nothing that’s the end of the world, but definitely annoying when you pay 90k for a vehicle.
Don't ever buy one

2023 GMC Yukon XL SLT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Before buying our truck, I rented 3 Yukons for long family road trips and every time this truck exceeded my expectations. So this past Christmas, I decided to trade in my Toyota buy one. I love this vehicle and how solid it is. It truly lives up to its Yukon name. In just a few months, we have driven from Quebec City, Canada to southern West Virginia. We have loaded it to the brim and … driven through heavy snow, rain, mud and mountainous terrain. I cant say enough about this truck. It has the power, comfort and technology you need to be completely mobile and looks amazing. Gas mileage isnt the best, but even that is better than expected. I often get 20-24 mpg on the highway. Did I mention I love this thing.
