Nice big SUV for large family.

2012 GMC Yukon SLT

This SUV is extremely reliable. It has an extra roomy trunk area. The power heated leather seats are great to have in the winter. It power windows and child locks. Makes decent gas mileage for the size of vehicle. There is enough seating for 8. Overall great SUV.
