"Owned a Chevy Tahoe, then bought the Denali. Both were constantly in the shop. Unfortunately we bought the Denali for the nice interior and room it provided. That's where it ends for these vehicles. Problem after problem and we're done with Chevy and GMC for good. Both vehicles had all kinds of problems. Mechanical, engine, suspension, etc etc. The Denali looks great but you'll end up spending more in the shop."

"Looking good is great but dependability and safety rates high on the list. Turning heads is inevitable, so get ready for that. Comfort is max, great for family excursions!"

Best vehicle I've ever had

"I've owned about every type of SUV out there and my Yukon Denali Hybrid tops them all. It's not even a comparison. To be able to average 22 mpg while having great power and comfort is unbeatable. When you drive it, it is clear it is such a solid truck. I bought it used and have never had any issues with it at all."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 135,000

"I bought my 2007 SLE 2x2 new and have babied it with regular maintenance. I rarely put more than 3500 miles on it before an oil change and go by the book with recommended maintenance. It now has 135,000 miles on it and looks like new. I started getting a "service traction control" reading and took it in for service. A funny thing happened on my way to get it serviced. The engine (5.3 liter V8) developed a small miss. I asked the dealership to check the miss out as well. They called and advised me that it dropped a valve and they found metal in the oil pan. Long story short it requires a new engine. Granted I have 135000 miles on it which are 50/50 highway and city but I know of three other people who have had a similar experience. The dealership where I get mine serviced had one the day before I took mine in as well. It had 115000 miles on it. Otherwise I loved this SUV. It was a pleasure to drive and I got 22 miles per gallon when on the road and around 17-18 in town. Will I buy another one? Probably not. I am not willing to make a $40-50k mistake."

"I have owned my Yukon for the last 5 years and haven't had any issues with it besides normal maintenance. It very comfortable to drive, turning radius is great and makes it very easy to drive and move in small parking areas. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants or needs a large vehicle."
