I recently purchased a 2016 Yukon XL Denali. I'm mostly happy, not much of the noise issue, just a small pressure when i'm driving 40-60mph at times.
My question is about driving at highway speeds. It's hard to explain, but during my 35 mile highway commute I'll feel an odd sensation perhaps twice each way (at differing locations). It's like the truck floats or drifts, or maybe it tracks, just ever so slightly. Like the steering wheel disconnects for a fraction of a second. Usually it's where the highway is curving a bit, always at 70 mph highway speeds, and only the driver would notice.
Things that come to mind are:
- it's just new tires and the road, don't worry about it
- over inflated tires?
- something about 4 wheel drive?
- or, something catastrophic such as a LCA not right, or steering?
I've driven a lot of vehicles in my life, my prior vehicle was a 2WD crew cab Sierra denali, so roughly similar. Never felt it.
