The 2006 GMC yukon denali xl It's quite a good vehicle..but GMC could and should have made it so much better. For one the sound proofing should have been doubled" the top engine choice should have been the 8.1L vortec with 500 hp and a 6 speed allison automatic transmission and all wheel drive' next the paint job is horrible how it fades and clear coat peeling off' should have had 4 coats of the very best paint and 4 coats of the very best clear coat' then there is the air suspension that was made very cheaply' could and should have installed the very best four wheel air suspension system' the rear third row seat should have folded flat' and the rear lift gate door should have been power opening and closing' and the bumper to bumper warranty should have been 6 years or 100,000 miles and the drivetrain warranty should have been 7 years or 150,000 miles. The cooling system should have been made more heavy duty' this includes for the engine' transmission' oil' and power steering systems. Overall this vehicle rates a 4 out of 5 because there is so much room for improvement..still much better than so many other SUVs out there

The Denali XL is the best on the market. Even though it is expensive it is worth every penny. I searched for a vehicle that would be suitable for the entire family for 2 months. When I saw the Denali online I told my husband this is what I want. The drive is beyond smoothness. Very comfortable.

I love this vehicle. It fits my whole family, plus relatives in town, plus all of their luggage. The fuel mileage is better than I expected on a 4wd and the Onstar phone system is very convenient. Most people that see me think I am a football player because of this car. I simply agree and then walk away. If you are in the market then buy this car.

Lets start by saying I bought new and right out of the dealer it was problems. 1) Front end will not stay in alignment / 4 set of new tires with now 103,000 miles. 2) Transmission is about to go but has always been hard to shift. 3) Every thing in the cabin shakes, breaks and falls apart ( trim pieces ect. ) 4) Both A/c units have failed due to some electrical part,,,$ over $ 2000.00 to fix both. 5) Water pump out at 32,000 miles, driver & pass window regulator replaced $$$. This has cost me more in repairs than my 32 foot sail boat ! GM has ZERO customer service when it come to warranty, ZERO confidence in their product but damm I love this 12.5 mpg beast. I pack 4 kids / 2 dogs and
