Back glass in the lift gate rattles loudly, literally moving up and down. It has been in shop 4 times, they hear it and see it, but can't figure out how to fix it. Had to file a claim with GMC. Very disappointed. Most of trim on inside is cheap plastic and poorly assembled. The ride is as good as the previous model. Turns and handles like a car, not a truck.โฆ
Best Large SUV
By Paulย |ย on Tuesday, February 09, 2021
5.0
The vehicle has everyone looking at it. Powerful, comfortable. Perfect for a large family. The XL has extra cargo space. The Denali is just the right amount of luxury without dropping another $20k+ for an Escalade to have similar features, which also requires more expensive maintenance. I think the 2021 Yukon looks better than the Tahoe/Suburban and gives you a much better value than owning an Escalade. Would definitely buy another Yukon Denali, especially if it ever goes fully electric.โฆ
