This is the worst new vehicle I have ever bought

2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV (6.2L 8cyl 8A)

I bought the Denali brand new with only 11 miles on the odometer. By week 2 or 3 there was already some vibrations that would shake the truck from front to back. Many months later I find out the transmission has a known problem and requires 3 complete flushes of transmission fluid. With the 22" wheels, this truck has a rougher ride than a stage coach in the old west before paved roads. A year ago I purchased 18" wheels for taking trips with the family. My wife hates them, but does notice how much smoother the Denali rides. I own an '08 4Runner, '08 Avalon, and an '05 LS430. The $78,600 Denali rides worse than ANY of those other cars that all have more than 100,000 miles. The Denali has 64,000 miles. This is my 3rd GM full-size SUV and will be my last. I can't stress this enough -- RUN AWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE. It is honestly, the most over-priced piece of crap that GM has ever built and I kick myself everyday for buying it brand new. It's 100% paid for, and my wife has agreed to drive it, which is the only reason why I don't trade it for a '78 Ford Pinto which would seriously be an improvement in ride characteristics. I haven't mentioned the front A/C issues that GM released a bulletin for, or how the rear A/C went out in less than 60K miles, but wasn't covered under warranty. I give it 2 stars because the interior is decent quality and the electronics haven't been a problem (yet). Shame on GM for building such a pile of crap.

The GMC Denali XL is great for room and yes comfor,technology is excellent ,and for a large suv,the mirage is what to be expected. The Bose system is great,and Bluetooth works all the time. Sometimes the GPS is not that accurate,however the traffic part of it is right on.overall this is my third one and by far the best of the three.if you need a lot of cubic space and want luxury to go with it,this is the right choice.

2015 XL Denali

Extremely comfortable seats, lots of space, power to spare, impressive gas mileage for such a big heavy vehicle(consistently get 22 plus at interstate speeds, transmission (8 speed) can be a little clunky at times but overall it has been fine. Very quiet at any speed. Ride is a little on harsh side on bad roads but otherwise very comfortable. This is my 4th Suburban/Yukon starting back in 1995 and have been happy with them all. Lots of new technology is pretty straight forward.
