Truck for the family

Large and nimble. Luxurious and tough. Big enough to do the job and small enough to feel in control of. Whether it's cruising through the forests of the north woods with the sunroof open, or blasting down I-80 to and from Colorado in 10 degree weather or going out to a restaurant with 7 passengers in 95 degree heat this truck does it all for our family. When we travel we do a lot of living in there, kids sleep, pee and watch movies on long trips while we move. Going to the beach? Sand toys, inflatables and oh yeah, a 8,000 # boat, too - no problem.

I Love this SUV & would never get rid of it if it werent for gas prices. One of the most comfortable & reliable cars ever. Love it! Love it! I always feel safe in it and it is the best on trips! Only had one problem with a fuel pump at the very beginning & had to replace it, but factory refunded my money. Also the emergency brake sticks & have had it in several times for that. Otherwise I really love this SUV!

The Yukon XL is a delight, both in town and on the highway. Much to our surprise, it is more maneuverable than our Lincoln Town Car. Outward visibility is also excellent. Great road height and stability in cross wind situations gives us heightened confidence in bad weather situations. The Yukon will be in the family fleet for many years.

Even though i can't get over the bad transmission problems i have had in the past,i love my truck. This is the best car i have ever bought!!! It is the best looking suv on the road. It is so smooth over bumps. The interior is well laid out and functional except i need more room for my cd's. The seats are comfy and supportive!!!! The designers need to use better plastic however! I hate my cargo doors because they block my view when i am trying to get over into the next lane. Build Quality ZIP!!!! I have had more problems with this truck than anything i have ever driven. If GMC keeps up i will have to get and Expedition! The dealer is the best in New Bern.

My 2001 GMC Yukon XL is, in a word, FANTASTIC!!! It does everything I ask of it, from smoothly cruising down the freeway at speed to climbing the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountains off road. Dry, wet, muddy, snowy roads are all handled with ease. It holds seven passengers and their baggage VERY comfortably, or those 4 X 8 sheets of plywood I frequently need to load into it. And it rides and handles under any load supremely. Its comfort and versatility are beyond compare. OK, so the gas mileage is what it is, I didn't buy a Geo Metro, so I'm not expecting 60 miles per gallon. the bottom line: I'm extremely happy with my Yukon XL.
