Have piled on 9500 miles in 5 months already...what a highway cruiser! Averaged 17.7 mpg over a 700 mile round trip, with five people and all their luggage! Just keep it under 80 MPH and the mileage is OK. Try to maintain 85 or above, and it really suffers. Power is great! I LOVE blowing the doors off of the little imports and their rev- happy 4-bangers. It's all about the torque! There's no replacement for displacement! I even SMOKED a 330i BMW the other day! I loved the look on his face! Woo-hoo!

Whats with the interior paint?

Hubby surprised me with my pre-owned '03 model. Interior paint/finish on dash has an area flaking off. Weird! Went from a Caddy Seville SLS to this, so comfort and handling was important. On the comfort side, the XL is spacious and seating is pretty well, but not as many adjustments as the Caddy. Need to be able to adjust the seats lower with more tilt for shorter folks. It handles well, but almost too sensitive in the steering. I could see some major over-correction problems with even the most seasoned driver. I pull a two-horse trailer, and rate it adequate for that, due to sense of power strain and some instability even with equalizer bars

GMC Yukon XL K2500SLT Autoride w/ 8.1L V8.....IS AWESOME! Much better ride than my 96 model. And, for a full size SUV it's fast. Excellent braking and handling. Great highway cruiser, we ran 4000 miles our first month and had nothing but a great time. Only one complaint: Delco Radio, Yuck! We pulled out the Delco and Did a slick Kenwood 911DVD with GPS Nav. Playstation2 and a Kenwood Music Keg. Cloud 9 Baby!

There's is little not to love on this vehicle. For a truck, ride and handling is superb! 6.0 engine is a nice powerhouse and gas mileage is acceptable at 15.5 mpg during first 5000 miles. Freeway driving in Southeast Michigan. If you're a "creature comfort" person, you'll adore this car Heated seats, XM Satellite radio, Bose sound system, great storage and carying space. In the short while I have owned the vehicle (2 months) I dislike driving anything else. Early recall that was inconvenient: Body Control Module for suspension would remain on after engine was turned off and drain battery overnight. Quick reprogramming at the dealership fixed it.
