Yukon 2 wheel drive SLT is a great value at $58000 you can get everything you need with all the luxury appointments no need to pay $10k plus more for a Denali! I'm 4 months out of end of 3 year lease ending December 2017. In that time I've had no visits to dealership for repairs other than a few oil changes and a tire rotation. At 20k miles the tires are at half tread also the brakes that's surprisingly good I've never had a large vehicle in this weight go these miles without needing brakes and tires replaced. I love the quality and look of the interior, the comfort ride and luxury I get to enjoy and appreciate everyday I drive the traffic in the city or on trips to Vegas, Colorado or up and down the So. Calif coast. Great gas mileage on the road, no wind noise and smooth smooth ride. I love the active safety features, subtle but effective warnings for drifting out lane, approaching vehicle ahead to quickly and side view warnings for those hanging in your blind spots. I plan on leasing on new 2018 when my lease matures. Everything I needed and expected from this model was delivered as promised. Only suggestion for improvement would be to improve the off the line acceleration. Because I drive mostly city the pedal response can lag which is mainly due to transmission lag. I believe they plan an 8 speed tranny for 2018 which should remedy this issue.

Got my SLT April 2014. In the heat of summer, started having problems with AC. As time went by, the AC was taking longer and longer to cool. Took to dealership and was told there was no known defects and sent on my merry way without any action. Short time later, AC gave out completely. By the time I went the second time they finally did have instructions. Apparently it had too much freon, factory defect. Flushed and refilled freon. AC working fine now, but I still feel there's something wrong with it. When it's on full blast the vehicle shakes, almost like it wants to turn off, but RPM'S don't change and it stops when AC is off. Have taken it a couple of times and they insist it's normal. The platform in rear is a bummer, takes up too much space, very stupid idea. In spite of everything, I still love driving it, enjoy taking road trips.

The rear differential was replaced under warranty, at 110k the transmission was replaced, the interior drivers doors panel is on the 3rd one, AC went out just after Warranty. Drives great when its working. Wheel bearing went out under warranty. Car trim came loose allowing wind to get inside. Might be assembled in the U.S.but not made here. Parts are not made to last. All the good gas mileage gone due to the frequent repair bills. Even with GM sharing in the costs these are repairs I never had to do with my 2002 Chevy Tahoe unless the mileage was at or over 143, 000 miles. I had 356k on the Tahoe and the Transmission was still good. More Bells and Whistles but less durabilit. Ordered 3rd tail light. $700 dollars. GMC did share costs when all the above went bad but it pissed me off that the quality of these parts were so compromised. Pullledcour 25ft. Flying Cloud airstream however a bit under powered for uphill climbs. Vehicle is comfortable with and a good ride. Just wished every component was made withe the intent to wear. Warranty should be 115,00 on the trans and 60,000 on everything else. Laughing my head off that they lowered the trans to 60,000 so you need to up it to 100k which in my case still wouldnt have helped me. Finally the engine died, mechanic couldnt save it. I wasnt about to put $8500 in this vehicle with around 149k on it. I have a new Ram 1500 Limited waiting to rebuilt as soon as the plant is open. I'm done with GM for who know how long. The cost of painting that Yukon was way too much.

GMC should have recalled the transmissions. Shifting slips all the time. Dealer admits they stink. Went to the dealer 5x and gave up. They just replaced fluids. And GM just doesn’t get it; do the right thing here. I have 4 friends with 2015-2017 models. All same issue. Just google it. After all these years, this is the best GM can do? Awful. For a sticker price of $85, sale price of $75k, this is competing with a class of SUVs that all “look good”. That’s all this one does. Apple phone doesn’t work on DVD system Or other electronics in the car. Brilliant GM, it’s only the most popular phone in the country since 2007. 11 years behind, just like your customer service and quality. Total failure, back to Toyota for me.
