My Yukon is a 2003 model. We bought it used with 215,000 miles on it. We wanted this vehicle to pull our boat and be able to take guests with us to the lake, etc. The interior is leather and the driver and passenger seats are splitting on the edges, which I believe is pretty typical for the Yukon and Suburban counterpart. I love the roominess and being "up" high. At about 225,000 miles, the transmission went out and the transmission specialist said he was surprised it hadn't gone out sooner. Evidently another typical thing that happens with this vehicle. We had it fixed and haven't had any problems since. The exterior has started to rust in a few places, but that's probably pretty typical with the age of the vehicle. All in all, no real complaints about the performance. It is a safe, comfortable and reliable vehicle. We drove it to Colorado last year without incident. We even make a makeshift bed in the back so we could take turns sleeping! We enjoy yard sales and recently went to a "miles long" sale. There isn't much we can't fit into the back of our Yukon. This is the third Suburban/Yukon we have owned and would most definitely buy another one.

I feel very safe in this vehicle. I feel like I have more control over its movements. It feels heavy and strong like it won't slip if I move quickly. I enjoy all the technological features in the truck. They help me feel connected and not alone on the road out there. I can easily find the buttons I need without having to take my eyes off the road. It even has preset features that allow me to focus on safe driving instead of fiddling with controls and buttons. I like the automatic lights so I don't have to worry I forgot them and then get pulled over. The rugged seats and leather stand up to the toughest test, my dogs! I like that I can take my dogs with me places and not have to worry the leather will be destroyed. The fabric seats holds great no tears and clean up nicely too. I would definitely buy another one of these. Probably newer so I can use the new parking assist and more camera features. But, it will be the same truck. I would never switch. GMC for life!

The Yukon XL was on the short list in our household as a potential replacement for our minivan. Our family has five members and a rather large dog, so we were looking for something roomy that was going to be very safe, reliable, and travel well. The 2006 GMC Yukon XL fit the bill, so we bought one used with about 100k miles on it. Almost three years later, now with about 170k miles on it, I still have no regrets and likely will never go back to a smaller vehicle. Apart from some minor repairs (A/C charging, daytime running light replacement), this thing is a beast and still rocks the same factory rotors. It is a real workhorse. It has taken us safely through snow and ice storms to 4WD-only parts of the beach and coastlines, to everywhere in between. Trucks have evolved a great deal from their work-only persona into a must-have for families that like adventure, or simply travel a great deal. You can't beat GMC's legendary ruggedness and reliability blended with creature comforts like built in XM radio, heated seats, moon roof, leather, and a DVD player.
