2006 gmc yukon denali xl.

My favorite car I have ever owned. I've had cars, trucks and a couple of small suv type vehicles. I thought it would feel like a big blazer. And boy oh boy was I wrong. I bought it ar 180,000 miles and it drives like a dream. All the power I could ever ask for. A bigger engine than my camaro had and almost as fast. My kids love it, I love it the wife hates the mpg but if we have a snow storm we take the denali, when we have the 4 kids me and mom and we can still fit another adult and any and all luggage. What is there to complain about. It's reliable and when you expect the instrument cluster panel to be wonky from bad wiring. Well it's nothing that stops me from getting where I want to go everytime. I love the vehicle and hope to keep it for a very long time.

This big cat corners well with power to spare

All the comforts of home in a dependable / capable / safe vehicle . 7 people can travel in style and arrive relaxed after a 4 hour drive ( with room inside for their luggage. )Lots of onboard entertainment options including a Panasonic blue ray player . I Repair vehicles for a living in a harsh Canadian climate and have been pleasantly surprised with the durability and toughness this vehicle has exhibited for 6 years . It’s base design stemmed from 2002 technologies that were modified with communication networks. It was totally redesigned in 2007 . I purchased mine with 246,00 k and currently have 308,000 k on it. With proper maintenance it drives like new . You can tell this vehicle was manufactured in the good old days nothing flimsy here .
