2018 GMC Yukon XL SLT Standard Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 6A)

So, I chose he NON denali model. Heres why....No magnetic ride control, no air shocks on rear, no power running boards. Why? long term having owned an esclade these items fail and when the fail outside of warranty they are very expensive to have fixed. This model is basically the poor mans version of the Denail. It offers all the bells and whitles I need. Front heated cooles seats rear heated seats, capt chairs, two over head tvs, same dash as the Denali on board wifi. Power rear seat and rear folding seats. Guys for the money you get the best of both worlds. This engine 5.3l gets respectable milage, 20's. Got the nice chrome 22 wheels. I removed the factory tires and put Michillens on to get rid of the nagging vibration, FIXED ! The only thing you want to watch for is your buying one used make sure the ac condenser has been replaced !!!! Its a KNOWN problem. Mine was done under warranty before I got it. Ive had no issues. The only other thing is do the maintenance !!! Ive not had any issues with it. I can go almost 600 miles on a tank of fuel outstanding !! I only run 93, it says you can run 87 but the motor and throttle responace is better on 93. LIsten this is a 70K truck so if you cant swing the $70-80 fill ups you out to not own one. Its fantastic for trips and every day drive, smooth quite super comfy and technoligy loaded. But again I only wanted the Yukon XL Slt Prem Edition which is a close to a Denali you can get less the BS suspension crap and pwr running boards. Folks regular old struts and shocks. The only regret is I wish it had the 3.42 rear end vs 3.08 gearing for towing. the 3.08 is ok, but 3.42 would be better suited for hills. It pulls fine, but having towed for 20+ years the 3.42 would be a heck of a lot better. Will it pull a 5500lb boat yep. Will it pull your cargo toy hauler yep. And all if you can keep your foot out of the motor a respectable 15-18mpg. Stay away from 15,16, models too many problems. The 6 speed transmission is a good transmission if serviced on a regular basis, which Ive had not issues. gm says every 45K id do 30K. Im on my second trans service and no problems. 60K basic of trouble free driving Oh and DONT drive the 4wd in auto mode it kills the transfer case and transmission it beats it death with on off. Just drive it in 2wd when you need 4wd put it in 4WH and call it a day.

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)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
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.
