ITS ONE OF A KIND, TO DRIVE. STEERING CONTROL IS GREAT--LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING A CAR. THE BRAKES ARE AWESOME TOO. LOVE THE CARGO ROOM. THE ENGINE IS THE BEST. A SAFE PLACE FOR THE KIDS TO RIDE IN. I LOVE MY YUKON.

Denali XL AWD

This truck is the best I have ever driven. With outstanding ride and handling for a truck of this size, it is a definate best buy. Still a luxury suv without the "hand-off" feel of it's more expensive cousin, the Escalade ESV. An engine beyond comparison(Vortec 6000) it beats out the competitors 10 to 1!

We love our Yukon XL. This is our fourth one. We've owned a '99, '01, '03 Yukon, and this one - the XL. Traded the shorty two months later for the longer wheel base. It has a smooth, quiet ride. Dependable. It feels safe on the freeways, and handles very well for large vehicle. I wish there was a way to get better "in town" gas mileage - avg 14 mpg. Highway gets 20 mpg. It pulled our RV with little effort - never knew it was there! We love the large cargo area. It hauls luggage, bikes, and anything else you need. I highly recommend SLT model - all the bells and whistles are fantastic.

Nice Ride!

Very nice looking exterior vehicle. Denali XL interior is definitely a step up from the Yukon XL, offering more of a luxury look. However GMC still uses that cheap looking plastic dash board and plastic knobs (mirror ajustors, door locks etc). Very Smooth ride and comfortable with the optional captains chairs (2nd row).

Had two problems within 6 months...the 4x4 went and gear box had to be replaced as well as the pwr box in the seat, controls the power seats and heater. Otherwise, love it. Avg. mileage is 14, not bad. Love the cargo room! 3rd row is heavy but can be handled by one man and comes out easily. I am 6' and could use more leg room. Captain chair arm rest is too close to body to lay comfortably. This new design is not smart. Have added bull bars for a great look better buy than the Navigator and Expedition.
