    First 5,000 miles

    I have several of these vehicles over the last years. Some with the 5.3 and others with the 6.2 From my experience both motors get about the same MPG no matter what i did or where I drove. My typical highway MPG was/is 18. I can top 20 if its just rural 55 MPH highways. But anything on the...

    Anyone waiting for the next gen V8s?

    It wouldn't wait for something that may or may not be a thing. But then I would get another 6.2 in a heartbeat. I think the 3 engine choices in the big SUV are fine and would have not trouble with getting any of the 3.

    First 5,000 miles

    I could probably get on board with the black out look wheels at 24".

    First 5,000 miles

    My current 26 Yukon is our 4th SC vehicle. (My wife currently has a 26 Acadia Ultimate with SC) The 2026 Yukon had some SC features the other vehicles didn't have, mainly auto on once adaptive is engaged. I didn't like it at first but now really prefer over my wife's 26 which doesn't have the...

    First 5,000 miles

    you are right. I was just exaggerating my point. I am just not a fan. They throw the profile off in my opinion. The 22” wheels really work in my experience.

    First 5,000 miles

    Interesting comment on the 24"s. My local dealer has a 26 Tahoe with 24"s on the lot. They are actually a turn off for me. The 20' and 22" look and run perfectly with these rigs. Hey GM, No one wants 24" rims.

    Options v. Color

    Options every time. I had the air suspension and retractable steps on a few recent Denali's. Great options. The air ride is beyond fantastic.

    There really is nothing like these trucks!!!!

    Nice new ride! I bought my Suburban in 15 and have never looked back. Tried a Traverse for a few months and had to get back to Yukon/Tahoe. Will never go back. Most folks driving these little Subuarus and Toyotas have no clue what we have going on in these rigs.

    2022-2023 Denali issues?

    I really miss my 23's with the 6.2 Great engine for me.

    2022-2023 Denali issues?

    I had 2 - 2023 Yukon Denail's (his & hers). Stupidest move I made was trading them in. They were wonderful vehicles with zero and I mean zero problems on ours.

    Considering a 26 Tahoe or Yukon. Which engine is the most reliable?

    I currently have a 5,3 in my 26 Yukon XL. I have had 3 of the 5.3's since 2015 and all performed well, poor gas mileage but that is the deal with these vehicles. Honestly I miss my 6.2's. Love the rumble and ample acceleration. Never had a lick of an issue with my 3.

    Whats new on the 2027's ?

    I really use and rely on my Iphone thru Carplay. The base Google system in my 26 is unimpressive and not sure why GM would consider messing with Apple compatibility. Its hard to believe that there will be no work around to connect Iphones.

    Just seeing if there is anything goming with 2027 model year?

    Advice Requested on "Lemon" Tahoe

    I think being 4 years in that you will have trouble getting GM to do much at a buyback or lemon law type level. I would suggest leaning on the selling dealer and try to work something out. I went through a buyback last year on a 26 Traverse. It went well but from my experience I would be...

    Accept Buy-Back or Not

    I had a buy back on my 2026 Traverse in October 2025. It went well, I came out about $5000 ahead and rolled eveything into my 2026 Yukon XL Elevation. My dealer did guide me on how to proceed and what question and things to ask for. All in all a good experience. Hated the Traverse. In shop for...

    Test Drove a 26 HC

    I have had 4 Yukons in the last 8 years. Currently a 26 Elevation with Super Cruise (not much else for options). My favorite was a 2023 XL Denali with Denali Reserve Package. Hands down the best ride I ever owned. I traded it for a Traverse RS (hated it) and then got into my Elevation. Wish I...

    Vibration (like buffeting) 68-73MPH new tires, 3 different shops checked

    What OR Vietvet described sounds about what happened. As the rim was spinning I could see it wasn't true and straight. It was frustrating as I had the problem from new but had put about 6k miles on before I dealt with it. Dealer did pay for mounting and balancing.

    Vibration (like buffeting) 68-73MPH new tires, 3 different shops checked

    I had a similar issue several years ago on a new 18 Denali (not XL). slight vibration and odd steering sensation at approx. 65 mph. Turned out both left side rims were slightly bent/damaged. Always felt they arrived damaged as the vibration was there almost from the beginning but was a bit on...

    Finally got my new 26 Yukon Elevation rolling.

    Yes, I am happy. The "service brake assist" issue was unfortunate. My dealer took great care of me. I am back on the road enjoying the XL.

    Finally got my new 26 Yukon Elevation rolling.

    You know, not a big difference. I like the air ride on the ultimate. My 26 has the giant screen which I have grown to like. I would say save the 30k and enjoy an Elevation. That was my logic. The elevation is very smooth, quite luxurious. Love the 5.3

    Finally got my new 26 Yukon Elevation rolling.

    I’m just off a buyback for a 26 Traverse RS that worked out well for me. Ordered the Yukon while we wrapped up the Traverse.

    Finally got my new 26 Yukon Elevation rolling.

    Ordered a 2026 GMC Yukon XL Elevation with Supercruise and Tow package. Received around mid December. We had a "service brake assist" warning every single time we start the vehicle. You could click it away. The dealer brought it in mid January and thought it was a simple fix. No sir. Every fix...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    Got a 26 Yukon XL 5.2 Elevation with Super Cruise approved last week on 9-11-25. Build date of October 7

    2026 Yukon build date

    After a long summer to get what we wanted we placed an accepted order 9-4-25 build date of 9-15-25 week. Our dealer had been trying to get what we wanted over the last 3 weeks in either a Suburban or Yukon XL. Here is what was ordered: 2026 Yukon XL Elevation red, lighter interior Super...

    Ordered 26 Suburban

    It should look pretty high end for being an LT. The Supercruise package really bumps up the equipment. Supercruise is a must for me as well as the rear view camera. Going with 22 black rims and badging will be pretty distinct. I really messed up trading my Yukon XL Denali for a Traverse RS...
