2016 GMC Yukon XL Consumer Reviews

In the past you could key in your vehicles pertinent information and get values. No More! Now you have to enter a dealer you would like to get a trade in value from. I would like to have that number BEFORE I go to the dealer of my choice, What happened to the days this was a useful site to get the potential trade-in value vs the personal sale value? Absolutely useless.

Hello. A 23 year seasoned automotive repair professional here. Overall, this platform is very posh yet has that ‘truck toughness’, if and when you need it. Tows well and the rear locker certainly does its job, and is good at it. As well as the factory built in trailer brake. The MPG isn’t the greatest at 22 HWY/17 CITY (personal average) but you don’t buy this sort of vehicle for the fuel economy. It’s luxury, brawn, fit/finish and material durability don’t necessarily need ‘THE BEST LARGE SUV FUEL ECONOMY’ title. Leave that to the throw away over seas manufactures and other domestics that have made me a great living. 😉 Performance is above average. Very crisp and surprisingly quick acceleration for a vehicle of its size. (Coming from a previous owner of a 9 sec. 1/4 mile C6 Z06) The transmission is smooth with power delivery and with shifting. Like anything and any other vehicle, fluid maintenance is your friend here. Make sure the differentials, transfer case, engine coolant, brake fluid, trans filter and trans fluid drain and fills are done accordingly, like and when GM advises and you will see many miles, with no anxiety. Regular alignment checks are advised to keep those big 22” tires from shaving away at your wallet. I would recommend a fuel management disabler or a complete mechanical removal of it and switching out of the 0w20 oil, for longevity. 0w20 is not ideal for a big 6.2 V8 with the stresses it’s designed to take on. That’s where the ‘bad rep’ comes from. GM, like every auto manufacturer is required to have a mandatory average ‘MPG’ across the board, amongst all models. Thinner oil is part of what achieved that average with this truck for reasons unknown. I use Mobil 0w40 Supercar, ya know, the C8 ZR1/Z06 oil from the factory that flows and protects during a solid 12 hour race, at places like Sebring raceway? No real complaints from a Large 4WD Luxury SUV. (I’m referencing the 6.2 L86 V8, as that’s what I have)

My experience with the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali Sport, 6.2, is that it is an amazing machine! Zero Recalls! The powerful 6.2 gas engine is incredible. 5 stars all the way!

I love this truck. Had a 2015 and was Tboned by a full size pickup truck and walked away from the accident. Purchased this 2017 to replace it and overall it's been a great truck. No issues.... until it hit 100,000 miles.. it now has 104K and I've had to replace all suspension, 1 motor mount, the alternator, oil pump, and front hubs. Have always had the truck meticulously serviced as the same dealership. Headlight was $400 to replace and didn't know they were so expensive until one went out. Over $10K I have put back into this truck to keep it on the road and I've never towed a thing with it. Love the truck but VERY disappointed in the quality.

With the 6.3 engine it has more power than I will ever need great modern leather! It has 120,0000 mile runs like a top we change the oil regularly and it rides as good as our Cadillac did! It probably needs shocks about now but this has been a great truck!

This is the best sub in the market , I live it and it’s worth every penny . This is my 4th GMC Yukon and I will be getting g the same thing when I decide to buy another car again.

This vehicle is phenomenal. It drives well, great parking ease with the camera, NEVER any problems with engine, etc. It just is larger than I now need since my husband's sudden passing. A GREAT vehicle. In my mid 60's, and 95 pounds, I don't know that I need one like this anymore. It drives easily/well for me. I simply, I don't need the large vehicle. If you are looking to purchase this type of vehicle, it gets more than the 5 stars. There simply is nothing bad about it!!! If I decide to trade it in, I will be sad ... we had many amazing moments with this, driving from Indiana to California, as well as the regular use for transporting musical instruments to rehearsal, etc., etc. And, I fear the moment I trade it in I suddenly will need a larger vehicle to transport something. This is a tough one ... basically, the best car we owned!

Handles good, if you know how to use it you can embarrass modest sports cars. Strong 6.2 V8 Crummy dash materials, junk infotainment system. = Get a dodge durango hellcat.
