What a pack horse the 2019 GMC Yukon XL. We rented this pack mule because it would carry more clothes, kitchen items and boxes upon boxes of shoes plus the dog and cat crates, food,toys, snacks and the animals themselves for a 12 hour ride from Washington to Chicago. We did the trip in one day to avoid having to deal with animal refusals from hotels. We moved on from DC north to I 270, I 70 toI 76 and finally I 80/90 to Chicago. The 2019 Yukon was flawless, it did not hesitate on acceleration and loved to hug the road between 70 & 80 mph, passing on hills up and down in PA with ease. This Yukon was loaded from back to front with immediate items needed for us and the cat and dog, also baskets of food and animal toys too. This Yukon XL was amazing, it had 3 soft leather seats, great communication ports and the heart of an engine that left all drivers smiling for its Wonderfull ride and it’s capacity to hug the road and not be intimidated by the big rigs. Our mileage was TERRIFIC! We averaged 22.4 mpg through the PA Hills on I 70. Once on level land the big packed Yukon XL moved along at 70-80 mph. This stretch lasted for hours and when we filled our tank, our mileage ranged from 22.4 to 25.6 in a full size Yukon XL traveling at a comfortable rate of speed and passing many trucks, tractor trailers, busses , motor homes and the big foreign luxury cars. This Yukon was the best full size SUV I have driven and I can’t wait to see the 2021. But, it you can’t wait for the 2021 SUVs from GM, get down to your dealer now to get the 2019 leftovers or the new 2020s They are the best large SUVs in the world. I can’t wait for the new 2021s to come on the market. They better be good because Suburban and Yukon overs will die clutching the steering wheel.

We purchased our lightly used 2019 GMC Yukon in Feb 2020 and it now has 36k miles. We bought this vehicle to handle our family of 5 on roads trips and shuttling to our kids' activities. It fills that role perfectly. Pros: - Plenty of space in all three rows and cargo area for a family road trip - Engine provides plenty of power for city driving and holds speed well on the highway even in the mountains - Smooth highway ride, easy to travel all day - Driver aids are very useful. Parking sensors front and rear. Lane keep assist is helpful without being annoying - Radio, bluetooth, etc. are simple and work well - Has been reliable thus fall, though it is still early - Mileage is great on the highway, easily over 20, usually between 20-22 mpg. City mileage is acceptable for a vehicle this size at ~15 mpg. Cons: - Carpeting is very cheap. Definitely recommend floor and cargo mats. - Rough ride on city bumps and pot holes. We just replaced the OEM tires and that helped a bit. - Maintainbility is more complicated than it needs to be. Simple items like replacing air and cabin air filters is more involved than other cars we have owned. Overall we like the vehicle and would definitely buy again.

Bought a 2019 YUKON XL SLT 4 months ago. No issues or problems yet. The standard V8 has plenty of power and I get 22 mpg on the Highway, but I’m not a fast driver. Everything about it fits me perfectly. It does have a firm ride but I did get the 22” factory wheel that are the most beautiful I have ever seen. I could not be HAPPIER !!!

2019 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

I had a 2001 Suburban with over 316,000 miles on it and needed a new long-distance driver as the suburban was tired. I was looking at the GMT900 series trucks but was warned away from them. I decided on a GMT K2XX platform truck and a 2019 and up for the 10-speed transmission. I could not be happier with my purchase. Truck eats miles and returns high 20s and even low 30s MPG! The 6.2-liter engine is very torquey and fairly smooth. The Displacement on Demand system works very smoothly and is not noticeable, you can only tell by the V4 display on the cluster that it is in 4-cylinder mode. The exterior is nicely done, the styling is very nice, except for the hood which has too many reverse radius cuts but looks good for a huge truck. I do wish the HID headlights were the LEDs you get with the newer model. The interior is a mixed bag. There are plenty of hard plastics which I would not expect on t truck that cost over $82,000 new, but I realize that GMC is going for durability. The seats are nicely done, comfortable and heated/ventilated. The folding rear seat and captains chairs are very well done as well, but I miss the under seat storage of the middle bench seat in the Suburban. One trick I did, I wanted a truck that would glide down the highway and after putting about 4000 miles on it, I decided that the big 22 inch wheels the Denali comes with had to go. I bought a set of take off 18-inch wheels and tires and did a swap, The ride is much nicer with the larger sidewalls. If you want a truck that rides like a dream go for the 18 inch wheels and the Magnetic Ride.
