    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    Just replaced my Bridgestone Alenzas 275 50 22 on my 23 Yukon XL. 10,000 miles on them down to 5.5/32. I had a flat in one on the sidewall, so once I looked at them I was like, Ugh. Replaced all 4 and be done with them. Went with Pirelli Scorpion +3. Good looking tire. Odd, my other Yukon has...

    Buyer Beware - Don't Buy a Yukon

    I hear you but this is just your own personal bias/experience. I have had 4 Yukons since 2016 with never a lick of a major issue.

    Do you use your rear-view mirror in camera-mode?

    100% of the time. Don't even consider the regular mirror anymore.

    Soon to be New Yukon Owner

    I have generally stuck with OEM mats. The newer Denali's have a slightly different mat than say a Yukon SLT or Tahoe. Both do the job. I know what you mean about the oversize mats. Havent seen them in a long time. I also dont let my mats/carpets ever get out of hand. Even in winter I will...

    Why the switch to big rims?

    I have had factory 22" on my last 4 vehicles and I really like them I did not notice any comfort drop off from 15 Suburban that had 18". My 2 current Yukons have 22" and also air ride suspension which makes my ride feel like a 75 Caddy with red velour interior!

    Soon to be New Yukon Owner

    Carpeted mats turn out great in the washing machine and dryer. Really turn out like brand new. I get it. Everyone likes something different. I always found the rubber mats just trapped all the winter goo in the foot well and then my pant cuffs would sit in the puddle of goo. Once i figured...

    2022 Tahoe - 12k Manufacturers Warranty?

    I think you hit the nail on the head. GM views a base Equinox the same as an Ultimate Denali. I do think GM could up their game and make the Denali line its own entity. I do not think that they will but it would make sense. As long as folks like me keep forking out the dough for a Denali they...

    Soon to be New Yukon Owner

    I got additional GM carpeted floor mats for my tricoat Yukon. Denali's should not have rubber floor mats!

    Any tips on bug and road tar/gunk remover?

    3 folks in a row must know their stuff. I will pick some up. Is Goo Gone ok on the paint?

    2022 Tahoe - 12k Manufacturers Warranty?

    Actually I do. My dealer gave a no charge Equinox last fall because I didn't want to park my Denali at Mitchell Field in Milwaukee. This is 2.5 hour drive and parked there 4 days. But, I think you are missing my overall point. If GM wants to continue selling "luxury" type trims at absurd...

    Any tips on bug and road tar/gunk remover?

    I have noticed that the shape of the Yukon/suburban/tahoe seem to allow micro dots of road gunk to adhere to the back lid. I notice it on both of my Yukons. I have been using Turtle Wax bug and tar remover to reasonable success. I would rate it a 7 out of 10. The only better product is the long...

    Super Cruise - No Road Information?

    I love it. Had it about 6-7 months. Use it all the time. Longer trips is where is it really shines. It gives the driver a break. You still must be careful and monitor as usual it just takes the edge off of longer trips.

    2022 Tahoe - 12k Manufacturers Warranty?

    This is an issue GM, Ford, Jeep don't get. Folks spend 90K on a vehicle and expect "white glove" service. GM wants to treat the YUkon Ultimate buyer the same as the Equinox buyer. I think that is a recipe for disaster. I believe GM should elevate Denali service, warranty, etc.. They kind of want...

    2022 Tahoe - 12k Manufacturers Warranty?

    Technically they are correct according to their limited warranty. However a good dealer would get this done. I would let them know that in a firm not jerky way. I am fortunate living in a small town where our dealer bends over backwards.

    Denali Duramax: Expectation vs. Reality

    I have been pretty happy with the ease of cleaning the Light Shale interior. I have found a leather clearing/conditioning package that I am happy with (Lexol, easy to get priced well). I did notice your white color preference. We were waiting on that Sage green color. The white tricoat...

    Denali Duramax: Expectation vs. Reality

    I had a 23 Ultimate on order for 6 months. Never showed. I ended up with 2 - 2023 Denali's with the reserve package. One (the XL) stickered at 99 so no real savings over the ultimate. Just fell in love with. My other one was a "good deal" sticker at 93 with dealer giving me 1500 off, plus a fair...

    anyone have any Super Cruise updates/fixes

    UPDATE: Dealer spent the day with my Yukon. They had 3 different folks take it out and SC worked great with all of them. Ugh. They delivered the Yukon and suggested really hard that I adjust seat/steering wheel. I really wasnt happy. I had my wife take it out and no problem. Shoot. I get on the...

    Need suggestions - After the mess I have gone through over the past 9 months, what should I ask GMC to do? Vehicle repurchased, new vehicle in shop

    Possibly the best comment of the year here! This is exactly how I feel. Both my Yukons were north of 90K. Sadly I do feel like I should be handled differently that a guy that buys a base Equinox. Maybe I am just full of myself, I dont like that I feel this way but its my truth.

    anyone have any Super Cruise updates/fixes

    My 23 Denali has not had functioning SC since delivery on 10-1-23. They ordered a camera module. Cam in last week, installed and reprogrammed. Same problem pops up on first try ("cant see face clearly"). Have an appointment for next week to see what next step is. Ugh. My dealer staff told me...

    How can you afford the cost of a new SUV?

    I think this question is very different for everyone. As you get older, you start understanding the old saying "life is short, enjoy it while you are able to". I have 2 Yukon Denalis and could clearly get by with a Traverse and an Acadia. But, I don't want to and am fortunate to be able to...

    MPG on my 2023 Denali

    On my 23 Yukon XL I average around 18. On my 23 Yukon it is about the same. I can easily average low 20's on highway driving. Edit: my first 500-600 miles were all over the place. I now have about 3000 on my XL and 1200 on my regular Denali.
