GMC Yukon XL 4WD

This longer version of the Yukon is the twin of the Chevrolet Suburban. Although it is not a sports car, the handling is more agile, steering and brakes are more precise, and the ride is smoother than the previous generation Yukon prior to 2007. Interior quality has also been improved, with a modern, sleek dash and easy to read instrumentation. The GMC Yukon XL can seat up to nine with some cargo space left over and tow a heavy trailer at the same time. In fact, this has got to be the single biggest reason people buy a full size SUV like the Yukon. Stability control is standard on all post 2007 models and a full range safety kit is fitted as standard. Reliability has been reported as below average by several expert reviewers so this is something that you will have to be aware of when doing your research. Luckily the excellent 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty should take care of most problems anyway. This latest version of the GMC Yukon XL 4WD SLE-1 1/2 Ton adds a new smooth shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, OnStar 8.0, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calls and XM Satellite Radio with NavTraffic feature. Popular options include 20-inch chrome wheels, a heavy-duty trailering package and rear-view camera system. Fuel consumption is a rather low 14mpg city/19mpg highway, however other SUVs of this size don't do any better.
