Silver/gray Yukon: DVD player also.

The heated seats really come in handy in the winter months. The sunroof is awesome. I love a sunroof. It always has plenty of space in the back. Especially when you take out the third row seating. It is removable. The stereo has never failed me. And the OnStar capabilities can prove to be quite handy and very helpful in the most dire of situations, if you choose to have that option. Overall it's the best car I've had yet

The most important thing is that it does not give much mechanical problems.

There are many things I like about my Yukon. What I like the most is that it does not give me many mechanical problems. What I do not like is that it is not very economical.

5 Star 2006 GMC YUKON Review

My husband and I just recently purchased a used 2006 GMC Yukon. We needed a larger more spacious vehicle to accommodate to our families needs that would also handle better in the winter time than our former vehicle given where we live! We certainly got that out of our yukon! Not to mention it is used with over 254,000 miles on it and it is still in great condition and running like a champ! We couldn't be happier!

It has been very reliable and I've only had to have it towed once because it stopped on me.

I bought this vehicle new in 2006 and currently have over 189,000 miles on it. Over the years of owning it I have not had major problems while under warranty. Over the last three years I have put more money into it than I wanted, but my logic is that it doesn't cover a car note that I would have over the next six or seven years if I bought a similar vehicle. Currently, it still runs great and is just now starting to rust. I would certainly buy this same type of vehicle again if financially able to.

2006 GMC fully loaded Yukon.

I love my vehicle. It rides smooth and has all the bells and whistles that I was looking for when buying a vehicle. Although it is a bit older now it still looks great and rides great. The hardest part about finding the exact vehicle I wanted was finding one with the captains chairs. I found a lot of vehicles that I like in the Yukon model but very few of them had the captain's chairs. Once I got that out of the way it was easy to make a decision. Since it the version right below the Denali I didn't have to suffer to much with everything that came with the vehicle. It has automatic everything and even a DVD player which my passengers love on long road trips, of which I have taken many. Although, I do love this vehicle there have been a few things that have gone wrong over the years. The most annoying of those is the abs sensor. This has gone out about 5 times and is a tad pricey to replace each time (about $300). So I found a work around, just turn off the traction control and the problem goes away. The other small problem I found is that from time to time the rear windshield wiper does not turn on right away. It always does come on but sometimes it is about three minutes after I hit the switch. I am use to it now but the first couple of times is scared me pretty good.

It gets me from point a to point b.

I love the room for my kids, even though I own it is never paid off and always needs updated and work on.

Jackie C

Nice color, smooth ride, air works well.

To many miles, needs work, old, falling apart, seats worn out, paint is worn off of dash and levers.

Gabriela S

Yukon GMC spacious but not dependable.

It has broken down many times. Has a lot of electrical problems with sensors. It uses a lot of gas. Fills up with about $80. It is also very tall for me. I like the space and comfort of the seats. It is an eight seats and is very spacious. Good for big families.

Miguel F

It is an overall okay vehicle.

It eats up gas like no other car I have ever seen but it has great leg room. If you have a big family this is definitely the car for you. It has 8 seats 3 in the back 3 in the middle and driver and passenger seat. Great for long trips or just to the park a bit big but not huge.

Heather L

It is large enough for 5 to ride very comfortably and lots of space for anything in the back.

I like the look of the vehicle. I dislike that it's a bumpy ride. I dislike that it always seems to need work done on it. I like the space.

Chris H

Runs grate and drives grate a good truck.

It has no problems runs great drives grate it's just a little out of date. I would like a newer car. Trucks are kind of expensive right now because of gas prices. But I would consider buying a newer truck that's more fuel efficient. A car is more fuel efficient and that's what I need right now.

Eric B

The value and comfort of it. The truck is roomy and comfortable. It has good power to move at local and highway speeds.

The size is nice for a family, but it is not the most fuel efficient vehicle. It provides us with the room we need to transport our family. It provides good power to move about.

Drives and handles like a car.

Love the versatility. I can use it for anything from grocery shopping to camping and towing. Large enough for me to feel safe but not too big to maneuver.

Steve L on March 20, 2021

It's a large vehicle so it doesn't stop on a dime, it flows down the highway like the king of the road.

We have 4 kids and this truck is perfect for that. It's been very reliable, and the Denali package is great. Lots of bells and whistles. Only dislike - fuel mileage

Pros from Owners

Devaughn J.

Very spacious a family vehicle. Driving this vehicle has all the comfort. Great for road trips and or family trips. Great for camping and outdoor activities. Ideal for its tow capacity. Very comfy for long road trips.

Amanda F.

Drives super smooth and parks like a little car. Nice size for a family of 5. Rear heat and cooling makes it nice for rear passengers. Large enough to feel safe while driving but not too big to feel like your in a truck.

Luna L.

It has Seat warmers, it has 4 wheel drive, the car itself seats 8 people, the seats are very comfortable, The truck can haul many items, the weight limit it over 200 pounds, the air conditioning works very well, the filter doesn't need to be changed very often.

Marissa C.

It has a lot of seat space for the kids car seats and the seats are easy to clean! With having 2 kids in seats we really needed the space. There is also a DVD player in the back for the kids to be entertained on long trips.

Cons from Owners

Devaughn J.

This vehicle takes a lot of fuel. Although it does good on gas mileage when vehicle is properly maintained or maintenance. This vehicle can be difficult to hand wash and detail on your own, or it can be time consuming.

Amanda F.

Gas mileage is not the best. Cost $80 on empty to fill it up. Can only go roughly 300 miles per tank of gas. Blind spots in the back behind second row while driving. Light covers on doors fall off kind of easy.

Luna L.

Fuel efficiency decreases over a long time, the vehicle is very big, the turn radius is very large, the oil needs to be changed frequently, oil filter needs changing a lot, headlights don't work, needs to be repaired a lot.

Marissa C.

The only things I do not like is that the seats get really hot in the sun. There's also not a lot of trunk space. It is such little space that the trunk barely closes with the stroller. Also the trunk always gets jammed and will not open.
