Only had this truck one week. Got the Yukon XL SLT model seats eight. We tried out 5 other gmc/chevys and learned quite a lot. 1) You can't get the Bose stereo in 9 passenger. You need the Bose. The stock stereo is tinny and can't be adjusted to sound good at all. The rear audio/hvac controls work great for the kids. Once seated in the back row, a 6 footer can sit comfortably. The XM satelite radio gets 120 channels plus including disney,sports, country, and a few rock stations. The leather is nice & all the seats are comfortable. Power with the 5.3 is good, mileage has been about 15 so far. Best news? $10k off the sticker!

With a drop-down DVD player and a hand full of movies you can take the family on that 1500 mile trip without a fuss. It's big enough for all your luggage, tows trailers without worry, fits 6-8 adults without worry, offers sleeping room and seating postions, excellerates great, and handles like a Mercedes. After driving an S500 recently, I returned to the Yukon XL with a renewed point of view of how much vehicle this really is. The stable-track nearly eliminates body sway. The long wheelbase soaks up the bumps much better than a pounding/bucking ride Short-Wheel-Base SUV. Towed trailers 10,000 miles and I put a post-it note on the dash to remind me it was back there. Mercedes in GM clothing.

This is my first Yukon. I've wanted one for a very long time, and finally got it. I love my Yukon. I have four wheel drive for the snow, and it handles it perfect. I feel very safe with my family in this car, and I have never had any problems with this truck. The gas mileage is horrible, but what can you expect from an SUV? I have installed XM satellite radio and I don't listen to the regular radio anymore. The sound is great too. The only thing I dislike is the 3rd row seating. There is no leg room. Your legs are up to your chest and the seats don't fold down into the floor. I have to pull them out (very heavy) whenever I want to use the extra cargo space and its a pain. A-

Lots of room in the trunk AND passenger area. Drives like a car, not like a pickup truck. Much better than our last people mover (a 4 yr. old Suburban). Was impressed with the improvements.

Yukon Transmissions stinks

This vehicle has been in for repairs over the years at least 5 times for transmissions problems - but 36 days after the dealer recommended a "transmission flush" - the entire transmission blows up! Co-incidence? I think NOT! I think it is pretty suspicious that after a recommended procedure of "flushing" is done to have the transmission blow up only after 36 days!!! DO NOT BUY A GMC PRODUCT!!!! Basically, the dealer and GMC complaint department says "too bad, so sad"
