    Yukon XL 2025 Vs Grand Wagoneer 2025?

    My wife daily drives the Wagoneer, but I drive it on weekends or if we need to switch vehicles. Ours has the adjustable air ride suspension, and it's really nice. Only put about 20k miles on it though, so I can't comment on the long term reliability of it.

    Yukon XL 2025 Vs Grand Wagoneer 2025?

    I've got both a Yukon XL and a Wagoneer. I daily drive the Yukon, wife daily drives the Wagoneer. I don't have the Grand Wagoneer, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about similarities/differences. My biggest gripes with the Wagoneer are that the mirrors are manual-folding and...

    How to remove 2nd row headrest?

    Couldn't find an answer to this on this forum but thought I'd share this YouTube video: . To remove the headrests in the second row (not sure if 3rd row is the same?), you have to open the back of the seat because there is a cable connected to the headrest. You have to unclip the cable to get...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    My friend's parents had an Excursion growing up, and I always remember it being this big mammoth of a vehicle and thought they'd never make anything that big again. It was based on an F250, after all. Then I got my Yukon XL and one day an Excursion parked next to it. I was blown away that...

    Question from a first time buyer - Tahoe or Yukon advantages/disadvantages

    For the 2025's, the interior dashboard design is going to be completely different between the Yukon and Tahoe, which is new. Build-quality-wise, they'll be essentially the same. When I was building out 2024's and comparing the Tahoe to the Yukon, there really isn't much of a price difference...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    Nice rig! I agree with pretty much everything you said, though we didn't spring for the GW. Except that our insurance on the Wagoneer versus Yukon insurance is almost identical, I'd chalk a lot of that up to the vehicle value. I will say that interior shot is nice, I like that the GW has some...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    You might be right! As much as I like her Wagoneer, there's a reason I didn't want to have two of them in the garage. I wanted to hedge my bets a bit in case the Wagoneers start showing some major issues as we put on the miles. And in truth, my wife likely won't drive the Wagoneer for 15 years!

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    Haven't heard about the rear end issue, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. It's definitely something I'll keep my eye on since my wife drives it primarily and our kids are in the car a lot. Actually it's funny you mention the thing about the window trim. That is one thing I forgot to...

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    I do the same. 2Hi all the time except for when there's decent rain, then I put it in Auto. Gives me some peace of mind to have the extra traction available in a rainstorm. I imagine if we have an ice storm and I need to drive for some reason, I'd put it in 4wd, but haven't had to deal with...

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    Thanks! Honestly I've never noticed any major differences between the two transmissions and the 8 vs 10 speeds. Both seem to shift well and at appropriate times and the shifts are smooth. No complaints with either one.

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    My wife drives a black 2023 Wagoneer Series III, while I got a dark gray 2024 Yukon XL AT4. This is not a perfect comparison, but I thought I'd throw my thoughts into the void in case anyone is curious. General: Overall both are great vehicles so far. As I noted, it's not a perfect...

    Exploring 2500 Purchase Options (I'm Back?)

    My 2 cents on the bench vs captain's chairs debate. We have 3 kids, all in car seats, and a large dog. Road trips with 3 kids in car seats would be pretty miserable for me having them 3 across a middle bench seat. They would be messing with each other the entire time. Maybe all kids aren't...

    Feature / build differences: MY2024 Suburban RST vs. Yukon XL SLT

    The acoustic laminated front door glass is on the Yukon SLT, but not on the Suburban. This is a difference that you might notice if you test drive both. The other main difference will be the ventilated seats. And of course the trim/wheels - black trim and special wheels on the RST, but chrome...

    Rear storage for small tire inflator in Yukon Denali 24?

    If you can find something, I'd like to know too. The under floor storage in the trunk is awful. For now I just throw this into one of the door storage pockets but it is painfully slow to fill up the tires.

    CarPlay intermittently disconnects

    Yes I've had this issue as well, sort of. I had my home wifi connected to the Yukon, but sometimes when I started the car at home, it must have caused an issue because the phone wouldn't connect to Apple Airplay, but almost always when I was parked in the front of the house closer to the...
