Stay far away from GMC

2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
My 5 month old Yukon XL Denali suffered catastrophic engine failure over two weeks ago with only 12,000 miles on it. From the mouth of the service manager at GMC, there is an ‘epedemic’ of complete engine failure, just like mine in the 6.2L engine. I need a complete engine replacement which is on back order nationwide. Funny that they have engines to build new Denali’s to sell to … unsuspecting customers, but refused to provide replacement engines to those have all who have already signed on the dotted line. Run away from GMC. Customer service is nonexistent and they, do nothing to help the consumer after purchase.
They don’t make them like they used to

2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
Although these vehicles are beautiful to look at, they definitely don’t make them like they used to. I didn’t even have it 2 full days and the radio and sound throughout the whole vehicle went out. It wouldn’t work again until I shut the car down for the night and tried again the next day. Hasn’t happened again for a few days, but from what I’ve investigated, it’s prone to happen again. … It’s got a few things that I’m not too happy about. Nothing that’s the end of the world, but definitely annoying when you pay 90k for a vehicle.
Don't ever buy one

2023 GMC Yukon XL SLT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
It is junk..most electronic stuff does not work..it's a brand new 2023 Yukon xl and I am having issues on day two..lights are poor..transmission is rough..suspension is like my 20 year old truck that I just scrapped..the dealer doesn't give a crap and service department just ignores you saying it shouldn't be like that but can't fix it..call me and I'll tell you all the issues and for … sure you won't spend a 100,000 dollars on an unreliable stupidly engineered vehicle built by a corporation that doesn't care about anything...[contact info removed]
The nicest Yukon XL I have had

2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)
I Have owned nine versions of the Yukon XL, including a Cadillac Escalade ESV, GMC Yukon XL's and Chevrolet Suburbans. This one (2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali Diesel) has been the nicest one yet. I bought it brand new (Ordered March 2023, delivered October 4,2023) and have currently over 17K miles on it with no problems at all. The diesel is awesome, I average over 25.5 mpg on daily driving … and over 33.5 MPG on the freeway.It is quiet and smooth, people cannot believe it is a diesel.The ride quality is great, very smooth and quiet, and rides heavy, cuts through the snow with ease. My dealer is fantastic, and worked with me on price. The dealer services it (Oil changes are all it has needed so far) and I am very happy with my purchase. Probably the best vehicle I have owned so far.I am very happy with it!
