Loved this car

I had my Denali XL for two years and absolutely loved it. It was comfortable, quiet and handled well for a large car. My only complaint was gas mileage. I made two trips to Las Vegas for bowling tournaments with all of my bowling gear and my dad's gear plus our luggage and got it all behind the third row seat. I loved all the bells and whistles, especially the cooled seats in Las Vegas. I'm actually thinking about buying another one now that my frequent trips are over. But it can be difficult to justify the expense of this monster. $80K fully loaded is a lot of money for a family wagon. Even used they're expensive.

Loved this car

I owned this Denali for about three years. I absolutely loved it. Two trips to Reno and Las Vegas proved its value on the road. It had a ton of cargo space, even with the third row seats installed. The only downside to it was the 10-12mpg around town, but it got around 15-17 on the highway. The only reason I sold it was because I had to make weekly trips to my father's house, 100 miles away, and it was killing my gas budget. But I would buy another one in a minute.

2012 GMC Yukon Denali

I owned a Yukon previously and this is a major upgrade from my 2005 model. This car has all the buttons and features that I was looking for in my next vehicle.

Ride is amazing

Enough room for everything and everyone. Love the back up camera, remote start, heated steering wheel and seats, cooled seats and dvd players. Awesome ride, it's like it glides it's so smooth.

Nice and plenty room

Nice vehicle , big, ride good, few things need to be done but nothing major, I was looking for a big SUV and it came out at the right time. So far I’m satisfied .

loved my last one and had to have another like it

It suits my needs just fine. And that’s all I have to say about that. There’s nothing more to say about my GMC Yukon Denali.

Great vehicle all around

We have 5 kids and needed something bigger, the Yukon XL Denali is everything we wanted and better. The bigger engine can tow anything we need.

Great Family SUV

We owned a total of 3 GMC Yukon XL's over the years and it was great for our family of 5 and we never had any issues out of any of the 3.

Great family vehicle

SO far this vehicle has been great, it's very spacious and accommodates all of my family needs in terms of family travel. The trunk space is exactly what we needed.

Best vehicle I?ve owned

Very dependable, comfortable to drive. Pull a camper with this vehicle and absolutely love it. I?d buy another one in a heartbeat if I could afford it
