Great for big families

the Yukon XL Denali was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. It's just the right size for a family of 7. It has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

Best truck I've ever owned.

This truck has everything I wanted and more. I've owned it for about 6 years and have had no major mechanical issues. It rides and drives like a dream. Love it.

High Quality SUV

This has been a great and capable SUV. It eats up the highway with ease while providing a comfortable place to sit. Plenty of power and space. Yukon XL is refined with a quiet cabin and an excellent sound system with Bose speakers.

Best truck ever owned

Perfect for family vacations and trips, especially good for daily driving in the harsh Northern Michigan winters.

Would buy one every time I shop!

This car is exactly what we need. It has the 6.2 in the denali form for the hubby. It has the room for 3 kids and hockey bags and room for the luggage to go along with it. The comfort is second to none! Love it!

Not the best purchase we've made.

This car is comfortable and very spacious. At 112,000 miles a valve lifter collapsed and shot into the piston head doing damage. Overall we ended up spending an outrageous amount of money to have it repaired, having to be without a vehicle for almost 6 weeks while the engine was taken out and completely R&R'ed. For a nine year old vehicle, we are not pleased with how it's holding up. We are to the point where it should run for another 100,000 and that's unlikely. Door handles falling off, running boards don't work, DVD recently quit working, lift gate arms, the list goes on, and on, and on...premium fuel required and only getting 9mpg. I would advise someone who is looking to get a vehicle of this price range, to ensure they are covered with a warranty as there hasn't been a single cheap repair on this vehicle.

Best car I've owned

Was in a recent car accident and was rear ended at 60-70 mph on the freeway. I had my son and 3 dogs in the car. If it wasn't for the strong durability of the GMC Yukon XL, we would have been seriously injured. I will never own anything else besides a GMC Yukon XL, it has literally saved our lives.
