Black 2013 GMC Yukon Denali XL

We bought this car a little over a year ago with very low Milage & it's been a very smart decision for our family of 5. We have 3 children ages 11-2. The bucket seats in the middle make it very easy to maneuver around inside. The Tv's are helpful on trips. It's fully loaded with all the bells & whistles. The only complaint I have is the color, the black is very hard to keep clean. Other then that none.

Best purchase!

I recently purchased a used 2013 Yukon XL. I've been completely satisfied with all aspects of this vehicle. It does take a bit of time to get used to parking the beast but that is easily managed in time. The overall size was the main factor in my purchasing decision. We have 3 children with many sporting events, equipment and friends to tote around. The gas mileage was listed as 15/21 and that is a very accurate representation. It basically matches what my precious minivan was giving me but much more space. I can't say one negative. LOVE this vehicle. This vehicle more than met my expectations. Lovin it.......

Almost perfect

I just bought a used 2013 Yukon XL and find that it is a great vehicle...except....the nav system. It is BY FAR, the worst nav I have used. It uses two different voices, one of them sounding very mechanical. But, the real issue I have is, that it is slow in determining where you really are, when you are using it to navigate. Several times, it missed telling me in a timely manner, that I had a turn to make. The interaction of the map is also sub-par. It's too hard to zoom in or out. In short, I'd love to tear out the nav and put in an aftermarket one that actually works.

Lee

I love the pearl black, the feel, handling and comfort. The dealership and salesman were very knowledgeable, courteous and polite. I feel they did their most to make our car buying experience as pleasant as possible. The one drawback is that I feel all cars are just too costly which has nothig to do with the dealer, but the dealer did save me some $$$ with 2.95 financing. Overall experience was 4.5 stars with list price as my only complaint.

Reliable so far! But it's nearly new! Should be!!

I moved up ten years with this vehicle so it has features I haven't had before; Back-up camera is nice especially w/such a long vehicle & I lack depth perception. Don't have a navigation system. However as they become outdated so quickly due to modern advancing technology I think that is good. The heated leather seats are especially comfy in cold weather as my old vehicle had them. Heated steering wheel would be nice as would be seats w/cool feature as well. I especially like the extra room the Yukon "XL" has over the shorter Yukon as we have a vacation home in the mountains about two hour drive from home. Haul lots of stuff.

Yukon XL Denali

Just upgraded from a 2008 Yukon XL to a 2013 XL Denali. Glad we made the purchase! The denali performance is much impressive than my older model. Gas mileage is around 13 compared to 14.5, no big difference. Interior is great just would like the middle seats to slide forward or backward. Also would be nice for the rear seats to fold flat. Overall great SUV that can carry a boatload of stuff.

Best SUV for the money

I love the design and looks of my new 2013 Yukon.It is comfortable to drive,but when i look at the gas milage i am disapointed.11-12 miles to the gallon in city.I know it is a big V8 engine but i expected a little better.Ihave not got a chance to check the milage on the highway yet but i hope it is at least in the low 20's.
