This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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

  • Cool Looking And Fun To Drive - 2007 GMC Yukon XL

    Best looking SUV for the money. Great at the pump without sacrificing performance and comfort.

    Upgraded from a 2003 Envoy XL. Love the Denali model. Big truck, the 6.2l engine has a nice rumble to it. MPG is as you would think, about 12mpg. But hey, if you wanted 40mpg, go buy a Honda.

    This truck is great. I have 3 kids, a husband and a German Shepard and it fits all with great comfort. The extra space in the rear is great for the travel luggage of 5 people.

  • Oil Consumption & loss of pressure - Recall - Dont Buy - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    In a nutshell, Ill advise anyone considering purchasing a GM truck with their 5.3 liter aluminum block to stay away. GM doesnt acknowledge the consumption problem & will not rectify it. "Sorry, but until it uses a quart every 1200 miles, its considered normal." Since brand new, we religiously change oil & filter at 3,000 miles & have records to prove it. It began at 15,000 miles with "low oil level" alarm. Now.....1.5 quarts every 3,000 miles. Low oil alarm comes on anytime, anywhere but more frequent during freeway driving. Problem #2, "low oil pressure-turn off engine" oil pressure gauge goes to zero. Anytime, anywhere! What a nightmare! We are scared to leave the city with it.

  • Best full size SUV - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    Excellent SUV for price/size/features. I am totally satisfied with the ride, handling and power. My wife and kids loves it. I think its mileage is better when compared to other SUVs at the same size.

    I love driving my wifes new Yukon. Overall a really great ride. I drive 2005 Ford Truck and this GMC truck rides like a car. Ford can take a cue.

  • First Yukon XL delivered to my dealer. - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    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.

  • Good Towing Vehicle - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    First, I am a volleyball mom, buses the kids great with room to spare. It is also my ski vehicle and I havent missed a great snow day yet with the 4WD, traction, and ABS. In the summer it tows my 5500 lb. boat over Colorado passes to my favorite lakes. It also towed my 30 ft. travel trailer up the entire California coast. Lastly, it tows my motorcycles to my favorite off road trails. I have only bottomed out once! Great tow with room for gear!

  • GM lovers beware - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    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.

  • Very very close to a homerun for GMC - 2007 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    Have had mine for a week+. Ive had two other Yukon XL Denalis with an 05 the last. This one promises to be the best. One major flaw and a safety issue is that you cannot see the instrument cluster in daylight. Night viewing is fine. Before buying check that out and ask the dealer to guarantee a fix. The old Denalis had a built-in mud guards & the 07 doesnt so you should consider adding that or the sides of your vehicle will be a mess. With these two items fixed I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a BIG SUV to tow a trailer, boat or just to haul a bunch of "stuff" and/or people around in relative. I didnt expect great mileage and that expectation was fullfilled.
