Best family hauler on the planet
I bought our 2007 Yukon XL Denali in 2018 when it was 11 years old. I bought it with 192,000 miles as a 2nd vehicle, and it now has 242,000 miles and is our primary traveling vehicle. It is by far the best family vehicle I have ever owned. I did some maintenance to it when I first bought it, such as front suspension work and a few other things, but it has been absolutely reliable and has never let us down in thousands of miles of road trips. We have two kids, and often take trips with our in-laws, so all six of us fit in comfort plus the dog. Best of all, when it does need maintenance, everyone and their sister knows how to work on it, and parts are cheap and widely available.

Best family vehicle ever made
I love this car. It drives smooth and nice with plenty of power on tap. Tons of space on the inside for kids, pets and stuff. Only negative is that the 3rd row seats are not completely removable.

The Yukon XL Checks Every Box
I've owned 2 Yukon XLs and they both met every need I've ever had. Seats for everybody and the cargo room for all their stuff. These can be about $50K-$70k brand new so I've always bought them used. The V8 engine is amazingly powerful and the first one I drove to about 250,000 miles and could have gone more. The options on them are seemingly endless and they definitely stand the test of time.

Newly Purchased
The vehicle absolutely met the current needs of my Family and I. I was going to purchase a newer Yukon XL Denali or Escalade, however this vehicle was 1/3 of the price of the one's I was actually going to check out and eventually purchase. I test drove it, reviewed the car fax, and for a 13 year old vehicle, the single owner prior had cared for it meticulously, as was evident through the service records, the lack of wear on the leather seats, to include the drivers, and the vehicle's interior looked and smelled practically brand new, I was blown away at how well cared for it was, I couldn't pass it up, especially at a fraction of the price I was going to spend on a newer one. Absolutely happy with the purchase.

Great family vehicle
Love all the features. Nice having second row heated seats! Lots of room. With having a tiny human it's nice to have auto start for winter. Will never go back to having a smaller vehicle.

Haven’t had it long but we love it nonetheless.
We were lucky to find a 12 year old car in such great condition. Previous owners did a wonderful job of taking care of both the exterior and interior of this vehicle. It’s a Denali, so, leather, sunroof, wood trim, retractable running boards, 6.6 liter growly engine, movie system, and remote tailgate all still work beautifully. As I said, we’ve only just obtained this car so I hope this review will last through the one year extended warranty and far beyond.

Worst experience buying a used car.
I loved it when I bought it but the dealer I went to masked huge problems now it's my problem. Beware of used car dealers when it seems to good to be true.

Worst vehicle I've ever owned
One would think GMC would know how to make a quality, reliable vehicle. One would be wrong. I've owned my 07 Yukon XL Denali from 100,000 miles to the current 128,000. It has had over $10,000 in repairs PLUS now it needs a NEW ENGINE. It dies on long trips randomly then comes back an hours later (insanely common and GMC does NOT KNOW what causes it in thousands of their vehicles.) The oil pump went out, starter bad, water pump leaked, air shocks blew, steering rack failed, rear main leaks, all the interior door handles have chipping chrome that have made both my children bleed, the zone heating doesn't work, transmission shifts rough and clunks after 3 motor mounts replaced and dealer states "it is normal per GMC". I personally know 2 other people that have this engine who have the dying out problem as well without solution. Did I mention it has now spun a cam bearing and I need a new engine at under 130k? I expect problems over 100,000, but not this. Terrible.
