Yukon XL

This is the fourth Yukon I have owned. This is the first XL however. I love the extra room I have and the XL is just as easy to handle as the shorter version. The heated front seats make early morning travel a pleasure! The electronic folding mirrors make going through a car wash so easy. I plan to purchase a new 2007 XL in about 6-12 months. This is the best large SUV on the market. The trade in valus doesn't depreciate like the other SUV's.

Gentle Giant...Highly recommended

I have been driving this gentle giant for close to a year with no issues. The service is great too. Powerful, and easy to maneuver and park with the quadra steer. I get 15 MPG in mixed driving. DVD & Navigation system is good. The interior could be better. Seeing some ugly plastics around the seats looks awkward (for the price). The back exterior gives the Suburban feel. The wood-like trim and front exterior appearance is great. I love this truck!

My first Yukon

I absolutely love my Yukon XL. I had two Expeditions prior to this, and I love this more. It pulls our 26 ft. travel trailer like nothing! It's very comfortable for long trips. OnStar is definitely a great safety/security feature. It has some extra special features the Expedition doesn't. I love the extra cargo space. It drives beautifully, and engine is so quiet and smooth running. Freeway mileage is great. This is finally the vehicle I can honestly say fits all my needs. This one is a definite keeper. It can haul kids, grandkids, pets, everyone, and comfortably. Seats 8...What more can I say? Check it out. You won't be sorry!

This has been the most comfortable, smooth riding, trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned. On the highway at speeds of 65-70, I get 19- 19.4 mpg without air and 18.5 with air.Of course when you drive faster than that, mpg drops like a lead rock. Can't complain for a vehicle this size.

I absolutely love this vehicle, It's so much better than a Suburban - no comparison! Anyone with kids who play sports, or have friends who travel will love this SUV. It gets good gas mileage, especilaly on the road! This is our second XL. The 1st one had 135,000 miles in 4 years - Love it, love it, love it!
