Best Yukon Denali Ever

This is truly the best out of our past 6 Suburban/Yukon, even though I say that each time we purchase a new one. The 2015 Yukon Denali is quiet, handles better and tighter, is more solidly built, than ever before. Nice updating in the interior with easy to see and operate all instruments. The only complaint besides 14 mpg, is the 3rd row seat is not removable, and when folded down, slants towards the back cargo door and everything slides out! I'm not happy about losing the 1' of cargo height either when the 3rd row seat in folded down. Also, the back window is much smaller and hard to see out of.

2011 Denali Yukon XL

I am not happy with the Heated Seats on the 2015 Denali Yukon XL --No where near the heated comfort level of the 2011 Denali Yukon XL

Love It!! Thanks Dave McMann from Dan Tobin Buick!

I love my Yukon XL! Dave McMann at Dan Tobin knew everything about it and explained it so well to us before we purchased it. Buying a car their was so easy and enjoyable! Their whole staff was easy to work with and respected and valued our time. We have a family of 6 and I do not want to drive a van! The Yukon XL is so easy to drive and so comfortable and no worse on gas than our previous smaller SUV. I will definitely buy another Yukon XL when it's time and I will definitely get it from Dan Tobin Buick/GMC !!

Smooth Ride but..............

We have had about 20 Suburbans and Yukon's over the years in our small family business fleet. 17 of the 20 have been very reliable and rarely visited the service department. We recently traded 2 of our 2012 Suburbans in for 2 new 2015 Yukon XLs. The first one was the very first sold and delivered by the dealership. Frankly its been a lemon so far. 2 recalls, and 4 other visits to the service department for a total of 6 service visits in the first 9,000 miles. Not a happy owner.

King of the Hill

We debated buying a regular Yukon in 2009 but opted for a Honda Odyssey instead due to the lack of space behind the 3rd row. But, as our kids are a bit older now, we felt we'd outgrown minivan-dom and wanted something a bit nicer. We never thought we'd go all out on a Yukon XL or Suburban but we did, buying a 2015 Yukon XL SLT. We debated going for the Denali, but since everything we wanted on the SLT had us up in the high $60k range, the Denali was overkill for what you got in return. Cargo room is great behind the 3rd row. While it doesn't go as vertically deep into the vehicle as it does in our Odyssey, it extends horizontally much further in. Seating is great. We opted for the captain's chairs on the 2nd row to aid access to the 3rd row. The kids get in and out with ease. There are buttons, bells, and whistles galore. This SUV does everything you could possibly want. The backup camera has some neat sighting aids. The forward collision alert and lane departure warning are great as well. Straying over the center line? a light flashes on the gauge cluster and your seat vibrates. How neat is that?!?! The ride is very soft and non-truck-like. And the interior is soooo quiet! If you are coming from a Honda Odyssey, CR-V, or Pilot, prepare to see what it's like to drive a quiet car for once! Size-wise, the Yukon XL is amazingly agile in parking lots. It seems like the steering wheel can turn for days. Entry and exit is easy, regardless of whether you opt for the normal or retractable running boards. My wife is 5"2' and worried this would be too much vehicle for her. Now you can't pry her out of it! We've made one road trip in it so far and it was so peaceful and quiet. Plus everyone had room to really stretch out. I can't wait to take it cross-country!

Doesn't get any better than this!

Traded in a 2008 Cadillac that was loaded, but there is no comparison to this 2015 Yukon XL! We have only had one week and it doesn't get any better than this! Our dealing with First Choice GMC was the best purchasing experience we've had! We had recommend First Choice GMC to all of our friends & family!

Great 2015 Yukon

I recently purchased a 2015 GMC Yukon from Hamby Automotive in Perry, Georgia.The vehicle is exceptional in all areas. I previously owned a Lincoln Navigator and this vehicle is far superior to my previous vehicle. I found the dealership to be extremely helpful in all areas. I look forward to working with Hamby Automotive when purchasing GMC products.

2015 GMC Yukon XL

We purchased one of the very first 2015 GMC Yukon XL's delivered in Florida - In fact I could only find 4 statewide doing an on line search when we took delivery of ours. This truck is INCREDIBLE! The interior is first class, leather, walnut, polished aluminum. Technology galore - USB ports everywhere - all three rows of seats are power. 110V outlet in the cabin - state of the art blue tooth, entertainment options. In fact we could have purchased a new 2013 Denalli for considerably less and did not due to the new look of the Yukon and the technology available. The crash avoidance and parking aids are spectacular as well. This is the very best of the best. If you need real comfort , good power, acceptable MPG's and people carrying ability - this is pay dirt. BRAVO GMC !!!
