Meets all my requirements of space to haul kids and their stuff and all of my stuff at the same time!

Very dependable - only requires regular maintenance. It has room to travel with my family comfortably, and the seats can either be lowered or removed completely to be able to haul large items. I wish it got better gas mileage (about 15 mpg) but it does what I need it to do so I can live with that.

GMC SUV. This is a good vehicle. It rides good in the snow and rain.

I enjoy the ride of the vehicle. The vehicle has power, rides well in the rain and snow. The vehicle has room for 6 passengers and has AWD. I highly recommend this vehicle for purchase. If you change the oil regularly and perform other maintenance procedures, the vehicle will perform to standard.

Love my vehicle! Rides like luxury but is a beast on the road!

I love that is it's a big vehicle that can fit a growing family. Also that it is 4 wheel drive for driving through snow or mud. The truck rides like a luxury vehicle but the inside is not as up to date as the newer models. Which is to be expected. Well worth the purchase!

Chelsea H

The back seats come in and out to create room for seating or storage for a road trip

I love how much room I have as well as all the added features it offers.

Tracy N

Comfortable and good gas mileage vehicle.

It is easy to drive. Turns into parking spots perfect. Good gas mileage. Comfortable for long trips with our big family.

Alyssa B

If you are going to get one, make sure the 2nd row has captain seats.

Wish the 2011 version had Bluetooth! Kinda sucks having to plug in my iPhone all the time and not being to answer the phone via the audio system.

Brooklyn C

That the gas mileage is not good at all. Also, if you have the 3rd row seat in the trunk is small.

I absolutely love my Yukon. The room is perfect and the trunk is very spacious. The only thing I dislike about it would be the gas mileage.

KRISTN S

This car is great for a family of 5 with 3 car seats. Although not a lot of room when traveling long distance.

OVER 100,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. WE DID HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE LAST YEAR. OTHERWISE EVERYTHING IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.

Marilyn R

Large SUV, seats and holds many people, with very minimal storage space.

It burns gas so quickly! Great for a large family or large groups! Not a lot of storage room though! It has a great performance and is a hefty car! It lasts a while, and will not breakdown on you! Repairs are a bit pricey! Very reliable and comfortable. Main problem is the alignment gets knocked out very easily!

Electrical problems

I love my Yukon; however my 2011 is now having a string of electrical problems that the dealership has yet to determine the cause. The dash goes crazy, the radio cuts in and out, and there are periods it won’t start. The alternator, battery, and battery cables are good so it is pointing to something in the wiring (but the technicians have yet to receive an error code). It is frustrating to say the least

Sarah E

My car has been a good car. It's been reliable and steady.

Gas mileage isn't great. I like the size in that I feel safe driving my kids around. Car is loaded.

Kris P

The pros and cons of a full size SUV.

I love the large interior space; however, it is just a very large vehicle in general and I would like to change to a midsize SUV in the future. The Yukon does have excellent cargo space though and is nice when traveling with our family of six! V8 runs great but is not overly fuel efficient. Great resale and trade in value as well.

Heidi R

Excellent large vehicle with tons of extra features.

I really want to love this car, it is been a great car. It has tons of space, the captains chairs in the back allow for my kids to have space when we road trip. However, I really hope they find a hybrid, electric or PHEV option. Currently GMC is being outpaced in that department by other card manufacturers.

Jose R

2011 GMC Yukon: spacious yet expensive.

Good for trips if you have enough money to pay for the gas, a little too big to back up. But it has space for everything you'll need including the ability to take out the two back seat to make extra cargo space. Would recommend if you have a big family.

Jeremy S

GMC Yukon Denali is not all it's cracked up to be.

Burns alot of oil & uses alotta gas but is very spacious. Doesn't have a lot of power like it should. The interior is not very durable & the leather wore out rather quickly but it is very uncomfortable. Replacement tires r very expensive. It is fairly easy to work on because of its size.

Aaron W

Awesome truck with great sound system.

It functions very well and has a great sound system inside. It has a rear view camera in the rearview mirror and several other great features. I would recommend a vehicle like this to anyone with a rather large family as it can accommodate children very well.

Crystal B on June 25, 2021

The amount of space in this vehicle is what made me make the purchase.

The only ongoing issue I have had with my vehicle is an emission leak, issue had been fixed 4 times before it was completely resolved (apparently there is 6 ways to go about fixing it? Was told this by the mechanic) the truck drives smooth, I have the xl version so there’s plenty of room. The backup camera is in the rear view mirror which is convenient.

2011 GMC Yukon xl: an amazing family car.

We have absolutely loved our Yukon xl. It drives so smooth and fits our family of 6 perfectly. While being spacious enough for the family on a day to day basis, it is also great for road trips. The trunk space is so big and can fit several pieces of luggage. It definitely feels like a luxury high end vehicle.

Pros from Owners

Christine S.

Roomy third row seats large storage fair gas mileage. Doors open really wide.Controls on the steering wheel. Room for 3 car seats. Wide enough seats. Easy to clean.Holds 7 to 8 people plenty of horsepower to pull a camper or trailer.

Abigail H.

Pros, fits 6 comfortably. Drives excellent in winter weather. Built like a tank. Sits up high to see the road ahead. Leather seats, leather interior. Perfect for a large family. I like driving the Denali.

Cons from Owners

Christine S.

Hard to get into the third row. Need a lot of space in your garage. Hard to wash. Small glove box. Small door storage. Small console storage. Sits up to high for some people to get in. Need wider running boards.

Abigail H.

The cons is due to all the seats, you end up compromising on trunk space. Because the Denali is big fitting into tight small spaces is challenging or impossible. It is a gas hog, spend over 60 to fill the tank.
