Hello! Today I rejoined the GMC Yukon club - having left it nearly 8 years (and many many MANY trucks since).

Had kept an eye out for a deal on a F-150 before EOY 2017 which didn't pan out, then started looking at GMC/Chevy.

Last night while looking at various dealers, I saw a 2015 Yukon Denali that was a one owner, local (purchased from same dealer that was selling it) with all records, CPO, 40k mile, personal lease.

I went this morning to look at vehicle, was there before anyone was even on the lot. Roughly 3 hours later I brought it home.

Certainly a world different from the late 99 Yukon SLT we once owned. Very impressed all around with the features of the vehicle. Coming from a Ram 1500, one thing that really has me very impressed are these headlights - so much brighter and clearer! Looking forward to learning more as I didn't spend much time at the dealer going through all the features. Youtube has shown me several tricks already I didn't know about such as the remote window roll down, mirror fold, etc.

Next up is probably mastering the "infotainment" system ;)

Hello, and welcome back to GM.
I never left having owned a Suburban (among other Chevy trucks cars) for decades.

Awesome! Welcome! You wring it out at highway speeds before signing on the line to make sure no vibration issues are present?

Hi - I do auto detailing as a side business and haven't gotten to work on the fun stuff yet. As for the vibration issue - I'm a truck/SUV junkie and hit all the forums across all the brands. I was very well aware of this particular topic and paid close attention on the freeway during test drive. So far so good - very smooth. I have a pretty good road trip coming up this weekend from NorCal to SoCal and back, will have ample opportunity to really get a feel for it on the highway at speed :)

I'm trying to figure out pics for this forum, looks like images need to be hosted on another site and linked, that about right?

Good morning. If what I read is accurate, I have the 8 speed. I have the wireless charging and 4G LTE hotspot and that seems to all have been introduced in mid 2015 and standard on all the 6.2's.

Oh...that would be *sweet*. I didn't even think of that lol. Like I said, didn't really go through every feature. I knew the basics and was more concerned with the service history and going through some of the features I was aware of such as adaptive cruise control, how to get the hotspot working, etc. I'm going to go try that now... ;)
