Hello and greetings
I just picked up a 2016 Yukon Denali 6.2L 8speed transmission 4x4.
It had a few issues, but the dealership was great on getting it serviced.
I’m interested in getting to know more about this SUV, or as the Security of State calls it, a station wagon, go figure.
I did buy the owners manual for and found out it runs on premium gasoline. Oh well.

Welcome from Miami Beach! Nice Yukon!

It is nice to deal with a good dealer. It is hard to find a good dealer for the most part.
Oh for sure on finding a good if not a great dealership.
Part of the deal was replacing two of the miss matched tires (they got me four new tires) two new key fobs, two third row head rests ( they were missing), fix the right side power running board, the power pad in the center console and a long with the cover that didn’t latch.
I bought the premium extended warranty, which was a good thing, when they went to deliver it to me, the check engine light came on so they took it back to the dealership and found the wiring harness to the transmission was defective so they replaced that and in the meantime, the mechanic noticed front left lower control arm was not the correct one, so they replaced it as well.
At that point, I had them check the front heated seats and they were defective so I had them replace them (covered under warranty), couple of dents in the door taken out and bought the floor mats along with the owners manual for it, plus changed out all of the oils, flush out the transmission, coolant system and the fuel rails, all on my bill. About $2,200 worth.
Runs good for now.

Welcome to TYF from NY.

Happy to see you got started out on a good note with your dealer taking care of you. Too many stories of folks not happy right outta the gate and it kind of sets the tone for the duration of owning the rig.

Good for you and congrats on the new ride!

Auto wholesale here just purchased a 2016 blk/blk 22s stuffed with 105k suspension issues extremely rough ride, trying to figure out now. Has magnetic ride air suspension, Ill start with fuses and relays, then compressor. Thanks to everyone who responded to this newbie, at 75yr old the forum thing is new to me so please hang in there with me through the learning process. All new plugs , wires 2 new coil packs a few days ago. # 8 spark was a PITA best we could tell passenger front wheel removed and still a fight but finely got it. Ive had a few of these in the past and the ride was quite soft and fun to drive this one will slowly but surely get figured out and Ill post updates as I make progress.

Oh for sure on finding a good dealership; I found out that she bought the dealership from a previous owner, who ran it down. She has worked really hard and treating her employees super well, and extending that out to the customers as well.
I found out that the dealership has a 5 star rating on Kelly Blue Book and very good reviews on Facebook.
So I decided to give them a try with my Buick on service work and I had wonderful experience with the them, so when I decided to make the purchase of the Yukon Denali I felt very confident.

I do have a question about tires, I have 275/55R/20.
My question is, are they supposed to be a load range type tire?
