2011 GMC Yukon consumer reviews

Dont get me wrong ... 2011 Yukon Denali that i own rides and performes great. The only down thing to this car is that for the hefty price of $60,000 I would expect better materials used. Inside finish is 2/3 Hard Plastic. Whole dashboard and 2/3 of all the doors inside is plastic. I would expect better materials for $60,000. Actually my wifes 2006 Hyundai Sonata which was $24,000 had better inside finish when it comes to Doors and Dashboard.

fuel consumption is too high, with current economic crisis GMC has to think of gaz consumption otherwise it is a comfortable ride

I tend to trade my cars every 3 years - though I kept the last one a little longer but traded it for the exact same make model - even thesame color - Just cannotget enough of this vehicle and cannot find any other SUV that comes close in comparison. Drove a Navigator, Expedition, Durango & Lexus each for a week and still decided to go back to the Yukon...

We have only had the car a few weeks, but we absolutely love it. The comfort is amazing in the seats in all rows, there's plenty of wiggle room for the four kids and friends, even in the third row. What would be nice is fold flat seats, but I guess beggars really cannot be choosers. The performance is just... amazing, really. We upgraded from a 2001 Expedition with a Triton V8, and this car blew us away with horsepower, it's always willing to get the job done. The Bose stereo is simply INSANE with sound, and I have yet to drive an SUV in my budget that could let you modify nearly every considerable element when it comes to things like Bass, Treble, Mid, etc. The iPod controls were a little confusing, but we got used to it quickly (thanks to my audiophile teenager!) This truck finally feels like a car, and it is just simply awesome. It does have a sort of average exterior, but still a head-turner. What is very convenient for a truck of this size is the backup camera, which was standard on our model (SLT) and really worth the splurge if not already there on your model; it's definitely worth it when backing up to park and towing. The ride noise is virtually gone too, we had a whole-car conversation... on a California freeway! What I like most is, unlike some other models, GM still realizes people still need trucks, and while towing has gone down considerably (and in comparison to the 2011 Expedition there is really no comparison at about 5k for the Yukon and a hefty 9k for the Expedition) but we usually just tow our boat and trailer, so not much was really needed anyway. The third row is just about the only thing that bugs me worth noting. I liked the new Expedition because it had a split up third row (60/40) that fold flat where this truck (with less cargo room with seats up) doesn't have fold flat seats, and can only sit one person when one half is down (50/50 bench) and the folding process is tedious and over-complicated. Overall, this TRUCK is an amazing vehicle, from the doors that close with an assuring "thud" to the grunting V8 that has the gas mileage of a light truck a 1/3 of it's size (Active Fuel Management disables cylinders when not in extreme use like on the freeway or when coasting extensively). I've always bought American, and definitely will again, especially after this!

I traded in my 2004 Trailbalzer which preformed well over the years. I test drove almost all other competitors. Came down to the Escalade and the Yukon Denali. Crossovers just fel too cramped. The Yukon ride was much better than the Escalade so it was an easy choice even if the pricing were the same.
