This is my 3rd Denali and my son has a Yukon not to mention we have had 3 other GMC products. I have been happy with GMC products, not some of the dealers for servicing them.......but happy with the product. I have 4 children and love the entertainment package.

Dealer searched this one out for me to get the desired features as I moved from a 1995 K2500 6.5 turbodiesel. Excellent, smooth and comfortble ride, with Autoride & Stabilitrak playing a big role in smoothness & stability. The seats (SD option highly recommended) are fabulous, especially for those with bad backs, providing excellent support. Excellent build quality, everything fits, no rattles, and minimal wind noise. The 3.42 gear ratio provides about 18.7 mpg at 65 - 70 mph, over 21 mpg at 55 mph--all on regular gas. I did replace the 17" B- stone Dueler HT 684 with Cooper Discoverer ATR, a move I am very glad I made. All in all, an excellent vehicle, providing comfort, room, and safety

Now at 130k..still drives strong and no major issues. Yes, not great gas mileage but knew that, electric seat components need to be replaced. Only fix has been water pump. 1st brake job at 100k. Leather interior great, sunroof great and Bose sound great. Only complaint is poor exterior paint..like many GMC & Fords of that time, fading clear coats...really noticeable on my cherry red denali. But this suv has survived 15 years of kids, dogs, building materials etc. Love the powerful drive..up steep hills & mountains with no lag or loss of power..just the damn paint is fading....

This is my 2nd Yukon XL and my first Denali and this one has been my best vehicle I have ever owned in the 27 years that I have been driving. The comfort can't be beat. We've driven it from Maine to Florida and back and had not complaints. The power is there when you need it and the gas mileage isn't bad for the size vehicle it is and the comfort. I have had no issues with mechanical problems and it's never broken down on me at all. I recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants a lot of vehicle for their money. This beats any import out there as well! Solid vehicle.
Its an ok vehicle
