Used GMC Envoy XUV for Sale near Rentiesville, OK
GMC Envoy XUV Overview
The short-lived GMC Envoy XUV was an interesting idea that never caught on. Part of the Envoy lineup, which itself was a more upscale GMC Jimmy, the Envoy XUV was both an SUV and a pickup truck. The roof over the cargo area retracted into the main roof to open up the bed, allowing owners to fit tall or oversized items. A hard plastic interior with drainage holes meant the area was easily washable. The tailgate swung out to the side, like a normal SUV, or retracted its own window and folded out like a pickup truck, to extend the bed.
Where the regular Envoy had three rows of seats, the XUV only had two, with the backseats separated from the cargo area by a Midgate divider. The window in the Midgate also retracted (making the enclosed cargo area a good spot for dogs), and the Midgate folded down, along with the rear seats, for even more cargo space. The area could even be used as a makeshift sleeping area, especially with an optional tent cover. Otherwise, the Envoy XUV was much like an SUV, available in either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, and with either a 6-cylinder or 8-cylinder engine. Two trims were available -- the base SLE or more upscale (read heated and power leather seats) SLT. All came with full power features, cruise control, CD player, dual front-side airbags, and ABS brakes, but traction control was optional.
Though engine power was lacking for a vehicle of this size, and the gas mileage hovered in the teens, drivers were generally impressed with the handling and smooth ride. The major draw was the cargo versatility and functionality, but despite much praise in this area from drivers, the Envoy XUV never lived up to GMC's expected sales and was discontinued after 2005.

Overall, the GMC Envoy XUV is well-regarded by owners for its powerful performance, versatility, and the distinct retractable roof feature that sets it apart from typical SUVs. Drivers appreciate its capability in handling both passengers and cargo efficiently, along with solid all-wheel drive (AWD) performance in winter weather. However, some concerns arise regarding gas mileage and mechanical reliability, especially around the tailgate and the complexity of some controls. Additionally, backseat space can feel cramped for larger families, which is a noted drawback.

What people say
This is a powerful, versatile and safe vehicle that will last, with proper maintenance, well over 200,000 miles. The retractable roof is amazing and has application to a number of different scenarios. The tailgate is something that gave me a problem as one of the side hinges broke. I have not tried to have it fixed. Cargo space is phenomenal. Its one of the few SUVs that can haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood, no problem. Gas mileage is not so great. Ive taken it to Florida twice, averaging about 15 miles per gallon. If you can find one with 100,000 to 120,000 miles on it, buy it!
Loved the seat warmers and the 4 wheel drive. Like that the back is completely contained to the point that you can spray out the rear cargo area without getting the back seats wet. Was great when I had 4 big dogs.
I would like the towing power of a V8, but since I don't tow often, I am satisfied with the fuel efficiency of the V6. I love the retractable top feature, and having the sprayable rear cargo area is great. However, if you have a car seat in the back, you are unable to drop the partition to get more cargo room. Also if you plan to ever have more than 2 adults or 3 kids in the back, you will want a vehicle with 3rd row seating, which is not possible in this
The XUV is unique among modern vehicles being a large SUV that converts to a pickup truck. The V-8 version gives better mileage than the disappointing inline 6. The transmission is good for only 180k before needing a rebuild. The air handling controls are unnecessarily complicated and unreliable. Avoid the rear, air suspension although conversion to springs is about $200. A very comfortable, good-driving vehicle.
Fast for how big it is, selectable AWD, 4WD Hi and Low and 2WD Rear always cool to have. Lots of windows to open in summer, rear gate is drop down and swing out. 7500 lbs towing is nice too for the recreational things I do not have. Only bad things are rust from previous owners (lived in Buffalo) so there is salt damage from winter conditions. Also all of the power windows wont be so cool when motors and such start breaking. Over all great purchase, especially now that gas is down to 2.15 a gallon out here in York.
