Overall This Is My Most Favorate Vehicle I Have Ever Owned. It Is Perfect. — I absolutely love my Yukon XL. Its beautiful. It looks like a million bucks. GMC went out of the way to make a great truck. I have a TV which is wonderful for my kids. I have leather seats that are heated. That is wonderful in the winter. I have alot of room for me and my passengers plus I have alot of room left for suitcases for travel. For a big truck my gas milage is reasonable. The same a a mini van and I have a much much better vehicle. Also i have alot of storage inside my truck. The stereo system is rockin and last but certainly not least I love my on star. Maintainence has been routine only. The cars acceleration is satisfactory along with the breaking and handling. I love my truck.

It Takes Us On The Long Trips Very Well — Love the room it gives us... lots of space... on long trips... Then on short ones there is the gas pig.... thank you It is a wonderful vehicle when the children were younger and needed the room for all their friends... now we still use the room, however the gassssss is a killer

Great All Around Family Car — We towed this behind our motor home, like it wasn't even there. This gave us extra carrying capacity for antiques hunting. Very comfortable ride and easy to get in and out. The heated seats are a real plus even here in Texas in the winter.

Buy American You Cheap Bastards, I Can't Stand Hundai, Mercedes, Audi ... Rebuild America — Absolutely fantastic rig, only wish the steering wheel radio controls were compatible with newer aftermarket head units. ride comfort is fantastic, fit and finish is above other manufacturers. My rig is quick for as big as it is, put a flowmaster and a cold air intake and hang on.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)
