Used GMC Yukon XL for Sale

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.

The 2016 GMC Yukon XL is built very well. We really like the design of the body, especially for being a bigger vehicle. The headlights are sleek and give the front end a sportier and classier look. There is more than enough space in the back to store our luggage when we go on a trip. The front seats add a touch of luxury because they offer the heated option and the air conditioning through the seats option. We enjoy and frequently use both of these options. The stereo is nice and provide a good, quality sound. The sensor lights for your blind spot on the side mirrors is a nice safety feature that has bailed me out a time or two. In addition, we like the front sensors that tell us how close we are to another vehicle when parking in a parking lot. Also, the back-up camera is super helpful when trying to reverse out of a parking space in a large parking lot. It allows us to see how close our back bumper is coming to the parked vehicle behind us. The steering wheel can be heated, which is nice. I would say one thing that could be improved is the power of the acceleration.

I like that when I need more power and acceleration that the engine is more than ready and willing to perform. While its not exactly worth the fuel economy the engine on the upgraded package definitely isn't undersized for this size of vehicle. Straight away I did notice the transmission didn't seem responsive like it should be, especially in comparison to the engine's performance. Rough or borderline feeling like it is straight dropping to the next gear when pushed to perform isn't ideal. I have taken good care of this SUV and haven't put a lot of stress on it driving. It currently has 35,000 miles. Ever since three months into my purchase of it, I've been disappointed at the quality of the parts it was built with. It's not like the GMCs I remember from decades ago. The parts visually showed wear quickly. As time has gone on, I've noticed things that should not appear to be worn looking dull, broken or in need of repair. Cosmetic as well as mechanical. Things like the interior aside from the leather and carpeting looking dull. The rotors being rusted at three months is what I first frowned upon. Then as I inspected the underbody and under the hood, I found even more visual rust. I thought to myself: This isn't a luxury standard, this isn't an American product standard either. The fuel economy isn't good. I average 14 MPG around town. If I'm lucky I get 17 MPG on the highway. I didn't expect the fuel economy to be excellent though. The SUV is mostly comfortable to drive and is decently comfortable as a passenger even in the third row. It's big enough to fit my toddler, my two extra large dogs and enough luggage for two adults plus a two year old with room to spare though!
