I do really like this vehicle for its size. As a mother of six children, I find it very difficult to find vehicles that fit my whole family. This not only seats my family of eight comfortably, there is also room in the back for groceries or sleds for the family in the back, which is a rare find. However, I have only had the vehicle a little more than a year and have had many issues that have been costly to fix.
Story
We love going for family rides in the country to look at pretty houses and animals and in the winter we love taking the kids to see Christmas lights in our Yukon, plenty of big windows to get good views of everything around us.
Pros
The vehicle looks nice. It has a big sturdy look, and I having running boards to help step into this larger vehicle. Seating eight, with additional room in the back is a huge pro as it is very difficult to find in many vehicles. It has comfy seats, and the front seats are heated which is great for the winter time!
Cons

There is not a lot that I dislike about this vehicle except for maybe the size sometimes. Parking in small spaces can be tricky and a little scary. This vehicle has carried me and my family from Texas to Missouri twice and from Texas to New Mexico once so far. Great gas mileage. A full tank really lasts. My husband gets back and forth to work everyday plus we run errands in it and only have to fill up maybe every three weeks. There is lots of space in it. It has the two bucket seats in front and two more bench seats in back. This was great when family came to visit. We all traveled together to places in our car with still enough room in the very back to put our things we bought from the mall or grocery store. The engine runs really well. Air conditioner is good. Recently replaced the b... (more)

Traveling to New Mexico and seeing my oldest daughter and granddaughter. Getting everyone all in the Yukon together and driving up the mountain to waterfall.

Almost too big. Pieces falling off. Seats cracked. Hard to park. Passenger seat doesn't lean back very far.
