    2021 Yukon Denali - Upgraded to AKEBONO brakes for 5500lb trailer

    We pull a 5500lb 7x14 Cargo Trailer -> Camper and just did a 2000 mile trip to Palm Springs routing thru heavy I-5/I-10 north of LA interstates and mountains around Palm Springs. It was heavy breaking compared to our normal trips due to insane interstate traffic and we developed severe...

    2021 Yukon Denali/6.2L - Towing 6000lb trailer - 226F Trans in stop/go - OK or Design Flaw?

    Hey Folks - just got back from a Southern CA camping trip towing our 6,000lb cargo trailer -> camper. The 2021 Yukon is 'regular' / does not have the tow package. We got caught in a 38minute delay stop/go backup on I-5 north on the way home - maybe the 'grapevine' but somewhere in that area...

    2021 Yukon Denali - How best and when to use 4wd low / how does it work

    Hey Folks I've had my 2021 Yukon Denali 2+ years now and have tried 4wd low twice - both with unexpected/not-useful results. This also generated a few comments but it's clear I don't understand how it works. I'm coming from Cadillac SRX 2004 with AWD - it just works all the time. I'm...

    Low battery / FOB-electronics not working - How to open tailgate manually for unload/jumper cable access?

    Hey All I have a 2021 Yukon Denali w/6.2L. I went a little too long (week) and the battery went down so low (or in some kind of protect? mode) the FOB would not click/open the doors in the normal matter. Was able to open the front door, tried to start a couple of times but just a chug...

    2021 Yukon Denali - Navigation/Center Console Freeze

    Just did a long trip thru several western, US states in our 2021 Yukon Denali and the navigation froze as we neared our 1st destination at 25miles to go. Not only navigation but entire console screen and control and apps. None of the physical buttons (such as home or on/off) had any affect...

    Low Battery, Engine wouldn't turn over, DIC goes crazy, is this normal?

    Purchased used 2021 Yukon Denali w/6.2L last Aug and I've know it pulls down the battery but... after 5 days of sitting the battery was only at ~11.2v according to my battery monitor. Tried to start the car and engine didn't turn, brake pedal pushed back at me, and DIC went crazy with things...

    2021 Yukon 6.2L not driven much - how often does it need to be driven for good health?

    We recently bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali w/6.2L for towing our camper. I have a battery tender on it as it can be 4 or 8 or 12 weeks sitting in the garage between camping trips. Question: How often (beside battery charging) does a vehicle need to be 'exercised' to keep oil / internals...

    2021 Yukon Denali - Sudden, Unexpected Slowdown from 67 to 50mph

    Was doing some winter camping/towing this week.... 2wd driving down a high-quality, 65mph, dry, 2 lane road on Adaptive Cruise at 67mph. Nothing in front of me but oncoming traffic/rows of 18-wheelers and cars whizzing by in the opposite direction when... Suddenly, a sharp slowdown occurred...

    2021 Yukon Denali - 4wd-hi - bit noisy/awkward at 1mph, sharp steering

    Bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali last summer. Went winter camping this week and had my 1st experience with 4wd-hi in the snow. Did a little driving around on unplowed roads with 3-5" of snow, just a little slippery/bumpy from previous snows. When turning around, at <2mph, turn sharply, backup...

    2021 Yukon Denali - 250w pull is causing 120v outlet to shut-off

    My 2021 Yukon Denali has 2 x 120v outlets - that are marked as 400w. However, when I reach 250w-300w range they cut-out. Unplug and replug and they re-activate but again cut-out at 250w-300w range. Does anyone have detailed power ratings for these or how they work? Is the 400w split...

    Highway says 5% grade, 2021 Yukon Instruments say 2-3degrees

    We recently purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali and one of the features is the 'level' of the vehicle. We live among the mountains - so anyplace we go to escape town requires going over a 5% or 6% grade as posted on the various highways out of town. However, I've noticed that the rig's 'level...

    2021 Yukon Denali - Battery alarm is LOUD - what makes it stop?

    Recently installed a new battery and then a few weeks later a bluetooth battery monitor. Both times this EAR-SPLITTING alarm goes off when the battery terminal is disconnected.... I feel sorry for auto-shops that have to work on electrical systems. Frantically clicking the Fob but not sure...

    2021 Yukon Denali - Correction, the "40w pulling the battery down" was misread of clamp meter

    ***I apologize for posting a completely wrong battery draw reading*** It's actually 2-3w. I recently bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali with middle package. I drive once a week. Noticed the battery seemed really low and started measuring it at 12.0v - 12.1v. Thought it was weak (used car...

    Mirror Cracked - 2021 Yukon Denali

    Just purchased a used 2021 Yukon Denali and on it's 1st trip to the auto-shop the RH (Passenger) Mirror was loose on pickup. Still worked but would wiggle up/down about 1". I suspect the shop did it somehow but maybe it was that way when I took it in?? The shop are nice folks and it just...

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    We paid for a used 2021 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L at a Ford dealership. Part of the reason for going this way was to avoid title hassles and have the nightmare of a car that can't be titled! It's been 3 weeks since purchase and now I have a letter from the dealer saying they are waiting on the...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    We're test driving a used 2021 Yukon Denali this week. All is going well, price OK, beautiful car, towing test was a success, everything works so we're likely to buy. However, poking around I ran across the SD Card in the center console and popped it out, put it back in wondering what it was...

    Towing up Mountain Pass - 210F Engine and 199F Transmission

    I'm in the process of buying a used 2021 Yukon Denali 6.2L. A key thing for us is towing a 5,300lb 7 x 14 cargo trailer converted to a camper. In Southern Oregon we can't go anywhere without going over 4300 - 5200ft mountain passes and our old car overheats at 70F ambient or hotter. Did a...

    Front Mount Hitch (2" receiver) for 2021 Yukon Denali?

    In my previous vehicle I use the front hitch to push my trailer into a tight parking spot along side the house and I have a receiver oriented winch + portable battery so I can winch front or back. I am hoping to continue this capability by adding a front receiver to my 2021 Yukon Denali (6.2L)...
