Picked up our '15 Yukon XL

[vp46]

Searched high and low for the following:

Yukon XL
SLT or Denali
HD trailering or Max Trailering (whatever you want to call it that has the Air leveler)
2nd row bench
Sun and entertainment
Black On Black (because I am a sucker for Black cars)

Now have 1037 miles on it... ave 14 MPG with 87 (Excited to be towing the Boat this weekend with 93... will be interested in how we fair MPG wise)

I'm dying to!!!

I'm dying to use the back up cam to hook up.

I'm dying to hear the air leveler kick in. (I wish I could turn it off though) - my fear is tt will level the boat into the top of the garage as I am pulling it out (it's with in a MM or twof rom hitting as it is). I fear I 'll need to use the Silverado to get it out of the garage first and prepared to not care if it does.

I'm dying to have the kids in 3 separate places inside the truck far enough away from each other to allow us to tow in peace.

I'm dying to understand how it shifts under load in tow/haul mode.

I'm dying to hit the hills (the very very steep hills) and if the tow/haul mode annoys... switch it to M and tell the damn thing what it is supposed to do.

Finally...... I am dying to get a feel for fuel economy. I suspect it will be better than my silverado and am prepared to care less if it's not

Going to be a great 4th of July weekend!

Things I love about this rig:

Far better looking than any other comparable tow vehicle out there (Yukon truly is > than Tahoe)...

Using the back up cam to hook up was amazing! - normally no one is there help get me close so I end up guessing (and getting it slightly wrong is tiresome)

The air leveler kicking in... worked well. (I still wish I could turn it off though) - Leveled it was too tall and would hit top of the garage header (it's with in a MM or two from hitting as it was). Too high even with a new 4in drop hitch - I needed to use the '05 Silverado to get it out of the garage first. 6-8in drop hitch coming..

Having the kids in 3 separate places inside the truck far enough away from each other ..... DID FINALLY allow us to tow in peace.

Pleasantly surprised at how well shifted under load in tow/haul mode. (was prepared to go to Manual to get it up hwy 50... didn't need to)

Finally...... got a feel for fuel economy and... the climb killed it as expected.

Going to be a great 4th of July weekend regardless.

Great lookin' boat! Time to get your surf on for the weekend!

I've got a Tige Z1 and my Tahoe squats then raises back up nearly 1" after the tongue weight is applied and the auto-leveler kicks in. This one tows way better than my '07 but I'm still getting used to the steering when backing up. The '15 is much more responsive (touchy) than the '07 (in a better way).

P.S. Tige truly is > than Mastercraft ....just messing with ya

 

[vp46]

heh! Tige builds some nice boats - we love the 205v for a variety of reasons but it wins mostly because it fits one of the only Mastercraft that will fit in a standard garage. It's 12 yrs old now... and the Yukon makes it look dated!

RE: Surf - we do surf behind it but the pocket is small and my 13yr old is the only one that can really go wireless. As such...when I grow up I am buying an x-30

We are heading out to this spot in 15 mins and counting!

Last glamour shot I promise....

This one after a wipe down with Boat candy as I aired her out. Pretty much as good a day as it gets!

PS ignore the make shift Silver Bullet windshield shade...

 

[felixgun]

This is the exact truck I want. New body style Yukon with those exact 22's. I think they are by far the most clean and updated looking oem 22 gm came out with. Very nice boat too!

Who needs a Denali when the SLT looks that good?

Who needs a Denali when the SLT looks that good?

Someone who wants a 6.2 and 8" LED dash. Lol...
