I finally had a chance to take my new 63,000 mile

2015 Denali on a trip today. I was a bit apprehensive on the purchase after reading several posts on here. I had zero issues on my 400 mile trip today. No vibrations,rattles or buffeting. The MRC ride was very nice and rode better than my 2012 Tahoe with 70k on it. I am loving it so far.

Looks Awesome!

Most owners are happy with their 2015+Yukons,Tahoes and Suburbans. My 2016 Tahoe just turned 66K miles and still rides and handles just like the day I bought it back in 2016 plus a lot of that is on NYC potholed streets.

A small sprinkling of people just come on here just to bad mouth these vehicles and blow issues way out of proportion for some unknown reason.

Very Elegant looking Yukon, love that style wheels. Took mine on a 250 mile trip last weekend which is the longest trip I've done with it so far, love the ride.

The ‘unknown reason’ is that they bought a $50k+ vehicle and it makes them sick or vibrates terribly at highway speeds and are looking for help. Luckily GM finally acknowledged it and at least issued some TSB’s.

2015. Be sure and let us know once it mushroom clouds on you.

Ha...just kidding. Looks great and glad you like it. The 2015+ body style is (to me) by far the best. Loved the way they looked from the start.

I think there is also an equal amount of people that do not bad mouth but do bring up issues they have with these trucks. Its debatable if these issues are any worse than the competitors other large/or luxury SUVs.

The vibrating, the ACs, the other issues, well they are for the most part documented, and in comparaison to owning a off lease german luxury anything are not any worse...

I think it all depends what are the person's expectation. I got my suburban used for a fraction of the price it would have been new.
So, with that in mine, I have been pretty please with mine even considering the few issues I had, and mostly got fixed either for free or cheap.

plus for people like us with a large family, the suburban is pretty much game over!

Agreed that these vehicles are hard to beat. I love my LWB, for a large family, who likes road trips in comfort, with a safe huge cabin, nothing else comes close. Oh, and it looks great too!

Most Minivans have more cargo space than a suburban (grand caravan = 140cu ft vs 121) but I wouldn’t be caught dead in one lol

(Expedition max is identical to sub except behind 3rd row)

the 140cu ft on the Grand Caravan you are talking about is with the second and third row down.
I am talking about all rows used for passengers, and loading up the rear cargo area behind third row now in our suburban

We used to have a Routan which is same as a grand caravan but with a VW badge (what a terrible car that was), and I can confirm we have way more room behind the third row.

I agree with you about the expedition MAX of course.

That is true. GC has 31 ft behind 3rd row and SUB has 39

Exactly, space behind the 3rd row is where it counts on the LWB. That’s the purpose of the LWB, to carry lots of people and lots of things at the same time, inside the vehicle. Nothing beats a Suburban or GM equivalent LWB.

Yeah I’ve never gone on a road trip vacation with 8 people in mine. Seems like lots of people here do though.

I got it wrong btw, the space behind 3rd row is 34 vs 39 ft.
