As a former Ford only vehicle person, I didnt think I would like a GMC, but I do. this truck has a smooth ride, plenty of room, and pretty ok fuel use. But hey when you buy an SUV you know what you are in for, its not a compact car after all, and your going to pay for gas. I had a Ford Excursion, that was a rough ride, HORRIBLE fuel use, and just plain old big. If you have the need for room and SUV use, I would tell anyone to buy this GMC Yukon XL.
I Love It!

This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned! I'm partially disabled, and this is not only the easiest car to drive, I've found it to be the most functional. The running boards make it easy to get in & out of; height & design give me great visibility. We took out the 3rd seat (2 minutes!) and I can easily put the back seat down (it's split so I can carry cargo and passengers!) to carry the dogs, groceries, and just about anything else I can think of! There's over 6 feet back there. Controls are thoughtfully arranged, along with separate climate control for the rear area....the dogs just love it~! And the stereo w/Bose speakers is icing on the cake!

Overall the ride is great. The tire monitor wasn't working at purchase (warranty issue). The nav system is excellent. Stock DVD player is not as current/fancy for what you can buy aftermarket given the same price. The front door required more force to close (warranty issue). The Denali has a leather interior with the exception of the 3rd row seat. My 2000 Yukon XL had leather 3rd row seat, but the 2005 Denali is now vinyl. '05 Denali no longer comes with protection stip on the roof. Front grille should be metallic versus chrome-over-plastic. Last '00 Yukon XL was in a 70+ mph head on collision with 4dr Honda. We are survivors. The Yukon XL is a life saver.
I wish I had came to edmunds and looked for these reviews before I bought this huge waste of money.

I bought my vehicle used with a clean vehicle history report. Over 4 months I get ...1) sunroof tracks out. 2)FL tire monitor malfunction, 3)transmission is failing, 4)starter went out, 5) driving lamps work intermittently, 6) check engine light on and computer says its an o2 sensor. Hmmmm which one of several? 7) One of rear seat warmers quit working. I think this earns GM a huge 0 in my book of quality.

Bought this truck with 28,000 miles. Was great until 40,000. The rear Air spring compressor went out, the factory CD player jammed and had to be replaced, Needed new A/c O-rings, the airbag needed to be serviced, there's a popping noise in the front end now, and the interior is flimsy and cheap. There are tons of wind noise and it seems like there's a new squeak or rattle every month. The fact that i can remove pieces of the interior with my bare hands is downright pathetic.
