2007 GMC Yukon XL DenaliVisitor, Saint Joseph, MI, October 18, 2011 17:21My wife loves this truck. Tried to trade it in for a car with better gas mileage....not a chance. You get spoiled in this vehicle. Rear defroster wire has come loose from rear windshield. Cruise control wiring issue. Cruise only comes on when you wiggle the wires under the dash with foot. Putting on third set of breaks right now at 82K miles and can't get passenger side rotor off. Willing to work through the issues. Friends say it sounds like a cigar boat when you stomp on the 6.2L monster under the hood. Takes me back to my high school days with headers and true duel exhaust. Love it!Flag ThisLike0

2005 GMC Yukon XL DenaliVisitor, Noblesville, IN, February 24, 2011 18:31Bought new in 2005. Unbelievable brakes. 151,000 miles on original rotors and pads. Changing them out only because I'm pulling a large trailer to Florida. Rotors true and no brake dust - ever. Seems to burn front lights frequently, but can change in minutes. Have changed oil prior to onboard computer recommendation and recently changed transmission fluid as well. No oil pressure or related issues. 60,000 miles on stock tires, 80,000 on Goodyear Fortera Tripletread. Great tire and on my second set. Biggest complaint is that all backlit lights on steering wheel are out as are those on part of the radio and various places throughout interior. Paint holding up great - still looks very nice. Anodized aluminum luggage racks have started to wear and much of the black is gone. Not very noticeable unless you're above the vehicle looking down. All in all a great vehicle that I plan to drive for quite a while.Flag ThisLike0

2004 GMC Yukon XL DenaliVisitor, West Linn, OR, April 16, 2010 10:47Bought this new and have had no problems until last week. At 75,000 miles the front brakes were completely shot on the inside and almost new on the outside. The front left wheel bearing also went out. Other than that, have done nothing but basic maintenance.Flag ThisLike0

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denalimacman1234, Ringoes, NJ, July 08, 2009 06:19Originally purchased this truck for myself. My wife drove it & liked it so much, it is now hers! Excellent vehicle. 33k on the clock and it runs like brand new. No major issues. Check regularly for brake/rotor wear. Just add gas & go!
