Great choice for a large SUV on the cheap

Car was perfect fit for us in this stage of our life. Looking for a big people mover that was cheap and this worked perfect. I hope we get a few years out of it so I don’t have to worry about young ones ruining a new car.

A great car that has no problems what so ever.

It is a great car but I decided I don?t need it no more, the car won?t give you any issues or troubles it is for a good price too.

Great ride. Superior vehicle.

Driven lots of makes, models, and sizes of vehicles and nothing really compares. Solid handling. Comfortable ride. Amazing passenger space. Our Yukon was a great SUV that lasted 200k miles I?m still great condition. Always felt safe having my kids inside.

Just bought it 10 years old with high miles

So far this car drives really tight and has already made two out of town trips for us in less than one week. The exterior styling is beautiful and the space inside is great. Even with 172,000 miles, the things like power running boards and backup camera all work as they should. I?m very impressed

Amazing Riding Truck

Couldn't ask for a better riding vehicle. Without a doubt the smoothest suspension of all the SUV's ive owned, expeditions and other GMC Yukons. Interior is clean and very well laid out.

Cadillac feel without the cost

I test drove this SUV to get a feel and to see if I'd like to own it. One Major flaw these have is that the metal used to create the body panels now no longer protect from rust as well. This was a 2008 with only 98k miles.. both rear quarters needed replaced..
