Great, safe vehicle. Have a 2008 same model with 200000 mile and still runs great no problems.

Good on paper. Poor tech reliability

Looks great. Drives well but poor reliability. Parking and blind assist sensors went out within the first 3 months of purchase. Air conditioning broken after two years. Apple car play annoying. Definitely skip this one and consider the Expedition. Only reason we didn’t buy the Expedition is the new safety tech wasn’t available but with new model it has all the tech.

Do Not Buy!!!

I am so disappointed with my purchase of the 2016 Yukon XL Denali. The issues with this vehicle in just 1 month are endless. The main one being the brakes are sooo bad. I got in an accident after 1 week, because the brakes on the car just dont work. The quality of the seats are so poor, you can feel the springs in the seats. The transmission keeps slipping. I hate this vehicle. DO NOT BUY.

We bought a brand new Yukon XL. It’s still new but we feel its a great upgrade from our 2010 mini van!

I call it the living room

You really appreciate this vehicle after long rides. I've driven to Florida 5 times and taking kids back and forth to colleges all over and being a hockey dad - a lot of traveling - when you get out of this truck - you don't feel beat up! It's like sitting in a living room - very comfortable and very respectable gas mileage too!
