Tired of crossovers
After trying crossovers, we are back to our much loved Suburban/Yukon XL vehicles.
Nothing matches these vehicles for comfort, value and modest cost of operation.
They are bullet proof and supremely comfortable.
I cannot agree with Edmunds suggestion that the midsized Acadia, Enclave or Traverse is a viable replacement.
ONLY, if you sit in the front seats.
The second row seats in these vehicles are some of the most uncomfortable seats in any vehicle made.
And for all this loss of comfort, size and seat comfort, you gain a miseable 1-2 mpg.
Not worth it.
Before you buy your GM crossover, test drive a new Yukon or Yukon XL back to back with a new Acadia, Enclave or Traverse.
Still the "Gold Standard"
We ventured into the "midsize", or as the Edmunds reviewers say "Perfect size for most"....SUV's.
We tested an Acadia, Enclave and ended up buying a new 2011 Lincoln MKT.
That didn't last quite a year until we now have found ourselves back into a full sized GMC Yukon XL and we absolutely love all aspects of the vehicle.
So comfortable, delightful seats and SPACE.
Still hard to beat a full sized vehicle if, like us, you do lots of traveling on the open road.
Never attempt to sit in the second row seats of GM's midsize offerings (Traverse, Acadia and Enclave) if you are (1) over 5' tall or (2) over the age of 12!
Those have to be the most uncomfortable seats made in a modern vehicle!
Great 4WD
I just drove my 2012 Yukon XL from Washington D.C. to Knoxville through our first challenging Winter weather. When we got within 60 miles of the state line (north of Tennessee while still in Virginia) we ran into some real snow and ice on the roads. We had to drive from about that point south to Knoxville, TN. I had to use the Four Wheel Drive for that length of the trip - over 2 hours at varying speeds. The vehicle never missed a beat. There were cars, trucks, and semis in the ditch or over turned along the way. The Yukon had zero problems. I watched the transmission temp the entire time. It never got over 135 degrees. Very impressed. Very pleased. Having a 21 month old in the vehicle with me certainly made for a nervous trip. The Yukon didn't let me down. Very happy I had it with 4WD High - worked like a champ.
