Overview & Reviews

The GMC Yukon XL has been completely overhauled for 2007. The most notable changes are an even more spacious cabin with upgraded materials, more powerful V8s, available power-folding second-row seats and head curtain airbags.

• Attractive interior with quality materials, powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine in Denali, smooth road manners, relatively tight turning circle, seating for up to nine passengers.

• No folding third-row seat, 5.3-liter V8 tires a bit under heavy loads, hefty curb weight dulls handling.

  First Yukon XL delivered to my dealer. - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By Joe - May 8 - 5:36 am

  The vehicle performs very well. Towing a travel trailer across the country I got 12 mpg which I thought was fine. Solo it gets close to 20. Over 6,000 miles it has used no oil and the computer says to change it at 15,000 miles. The fit and finish was a little disappointing. I need to take it to the dealer to have the strip on the passenger side replaced as it is falling off. The right rear wheel well also has a slight defect. Other than the finish problems the vehicle performs very well. The navigation system is very good and performs exceedingly well. It got us out of several problems with detours. The preprogammed trips are excellent.

  GM lovers beware - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By Sadbuyer07 - January 22 - 8:30 pm

  This was our third Denali. First 2 we loved, but new body was a headache. Constant downshifting with trans and dealership wouldnt acknowledge problem. Friend whos a mechanic has same computer as dealer and tells me all types of codes appear with his computer. Says they dont want to have to do recall with auto sales down (opinion). Paid cash and was dissapointed from day one. Poor gas mileage. Other than that, very comfortable and nice equipment. Have friends with either Yukon or Suburbans or Tahoes and everyone seems to have some type of tranny problem and dealers are looking the other way. Please beware of GM SUVs now. We just have to sell ours.

  Clunk in my get along - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By Reeree - August 5 - 7:23 am

  At 3600 our 07 Yukon started having what I thought was transmission slipage. Dealer lubed slip yoke, then proceeded to replace 2 of them to no avail. Now worse than ever! If I didnt have a klunk in my rear end I would be very happy. Much improved from our 99.

  A Nice Upgrade - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By smokeyta - December 2 - 11:30 am

  After being a happy owner of an 03 5.3 Yukon XL, we upgraded to the Denali in 07. What a great vehicle it has been! The main reasons for this selection were the upgraded features, the towing ability, and generous cargo/people space. The burble of the 6.2 reminded me of the string of late 90s TransAms I did time in. Things that made the GMC the best choice over the Navigator were interior ergonomics, the discrete (if not slightly understated) luxury, the engine/6-speed with manual shift selections, and the interior decor (looks great in tan/brown) two tone). Almost two years later, we have not been disappointed. We have had no quality or warranty issues what-so-ever.

  Nice Vehicle / Poor Electronics - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By Roger - September 16 - 12:46 pm

  We chose the Denali over the Infiniti QX56 purely because of interior space. And while the Denali has proved to be a great vehicle for toting the kids around to all their sporting events and our cross country vacations, it always seems to be in the shop. A couple recalled items and several different electronically problems (one of which is still not fixed) have caused several headaches trying to schedule time to get the items fixed. The service and dealer folks have been very friendly and pleasant to work with but Im very close to trading it in for a QX56

  Love it but some issues - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By timber - October 27 - 5:13 pm

  This is a great family vehicle. Love its style and comfort. We got a good deal 10,000 off msrp. Only problem is a phantom rattle or vibration in front at low coasting speeds. Dealer cant seem to figure it out. Also we did not get leather so the seats are a terrible lint trap. They collect everything from lint to hair. Towing is great. The fake chrome interior door handles are bad, had to be replaced due to chipping. At that price you think it would be cheaper to do it right the first time.

  Questionable reliability - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By Jafobob1 - October 29 - 4:10 pm

  This is an all-round great vehicle except for a few minor things that are ruining the experience. It has the worst high beams since my wifes Aerostar van (a candle anyone?); electrical gremlins have surfaced - the headlights go out while driving and then mysteriously return later - dealer cant diagnose and OnStar cant find anything; while idling, the truck activated the windshield washers and emplied the tank; problems with the rear view camera that were fixed with upgraded contacts. Driven responsibly, the fuel economy is on par with my 2005 AWD Yukon XL (a bit worse in town and a bit better on the highway). Tons of room inside yet remarkably easy to park in the city.

  Another oil burner - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  By linkowski - February 5 - 6:20 am

  I love my Yukon. However, it has been burning oil for about 3 years now. Three years ago I took it to my original dealership who told me that it was normal (with a straight face!). They refused to do anything. Fast forward to 96000 miles, took it to a Chevy dealership who listened to me and said they have had this problem. Next Monday its going in to have the "shields" put in. I am still worried. GM customer service told me they didnt know anything about any problems, that the dealership handles all of this. I know they know, but as long as they can deny it, they will. Will post again when it is allegedly fixed. Very very unhappy with GMs response.
