    Diesel Appropriate?

    This is the reality of our day to day. Very short trips most days but usually a 30 mile trip or 2 to one of the rinks my son plays at. I haven’t had any issues. We get a decent amount of road trips in for summer vacation and hockey as well. I think the big thing is if you’re literally just...

    Used 2023 Yukon Denali with 25k miles on it

    If keeping it that long, why not just try and snag a deal on any left over brand new 2024’s or a factory order 25? I know higher price but, won’t amount to much over 10 years.

    EV Section

    Exactly. A refresh (targeted updates) isn’t a re-design (new generation).

    Drivers Mirror Memory

    My 2024 Yukon XL SLT mirrors sometimes go wonky too… I feel like the reverse mirror tilt and folding mirror combination is sort of the reason. Usually if I hold the memory button the settings will recall but sometimes it’s still off slightly.

    Diesel Question

    Low end torque… it pulls very well at lower rpm’s…. Different than a gas engine. You’d need to test drive it to understand but these trucks rarely downshift on the highway unless you smash the pedal. Up and down moderate hills…. Very little downshifting.

    EV Section

    Yeah I don’t get it. It’s an EV section. The 2025 model is still part of the 2021+ generation. A new grille and touch screen isn’t a redesign.

    Looking to Come Back to the Family - 2022 Yukon XL - High Miles

    So obviously this was a limousine/taxi of some sort . That’s insanely high mileage. I personally wouldn’t buy it.

    When to wax new vehicle?

    I have the x-act liners for my F150. I like them too. Went with GMC liners on the Yukon XL… they’re ok. Not gonna be great in the middle of winter with snow/slush.

    Diesel Question

    I’d encourage you to test drive. It’s not that bad but anyone saying acceleration is not a bit sluggish at highway speeds (when you mash the pedal) has a different view than me. It’s a great engine and has a ton of torque. The diesel pulls this thing like a champ. I have zero regrets especially...

    Curb Rash Black Wheels

    Yeah I don’t even know where it came from. The tire wasn’t even scuffed. I knew it was a risk with these rims… the profile of the 22” gmc rim and tire sidewall is such that this was bound to happen. Never scuffed a rim in my 20+ years of driving.

    When to wax new vehicle?

    What mud guards do you have?

    Diesel Question

    This is my only complaint. My 2024 Yukon XL diesel is sluggish when you mash the pedal at highway speeds. It’s almost better if you keep the RPM’s mid-range. Around town, accelerating to highway speed… lots of pep. But if you’re cruising at 60mph or a bit less on a single lane highway and you...

    2024 Z71 mpg .. can it be this bad?

    Yeah, I mean not sure the 22” wheels is the issue but rather the mud tires that are on it. That and a lift would have to be your culprit and would explain why your highway mileage is suffering.

    Fuel efficiency drop in newer models ?

    Not to contradict you but I don’t know in what world I’d expect to get 26-27mpg in a V8 Chev Suburban. Maybe very flat, perfectly paved country roads doing 55mph…. But that is in no way a realistic highway number if you’re driving over 70mph.

    2024 Z71 mpg .. can it be this bad?

    Maybe engine break in period?

    Wow great mpg

    I find people generally drive slow/normal in FL aside from the random maniacs but maybe it’s just me. Will be down in Fort Myers area in March so we’ll see how it goes on 75. Haven’t been down that way since Jan 2020.

    Wow great mpg

    I have hand calculated every tank over the first 8,000km (5,000miles) and the onboard computer is accurate within 0.1L/100km (0.2mpg) on every tank so far. I’m attributing this to the fact that the diesel fuel consumption just isn’t as volatile as the gas version and is more rangebound. On my...

    In the driveway

    Thanks for the comments. Fyi to open the lift gate /hatch from the driver seat just press the centre of the dial that allows you to adjust how far the lift gate opens (near the garage door opener buttons)… took me a few weeks to figure that out lol On that note, if you want all the interior...

    2024 Yukon Denali Diesel impressions

    Because I like having my fog lights on at night and it provides more light in front of the hood. There is nothing unusual about my issue and apparently it seems as though others feel the same. I’ve never owned a vehicle, let alone a $100,000 one, that has this kind of light/fog light/high beam...

    2022 Yukon SLT A/T Tires on 22” Wheels Without Lift?

    Defenders or not aggressive enough?

    Curb Rash Black Wheels

    Perfect thank you. Yeah just looking for a 90% of the way there job. Like you said, just trying to make it not noticeable from 5-10 feet away. Would you bother trying to spot sand it first? Either way I’ll give the rustoleum a shot!

    Curb Rash Black Wheels

    Not sure when and how but noticed this bit of curb rash on the gloss black wheels last night. Always knew it was a risk given the profile of the tire sidewall and how the rim spokes stick out. Any tips on how to fix? It’s not a huge scrape. Can I spot sand and paint? What paint do I need? For...

    2024 Yukon Denali Diesel impressions

    Interesting…. That makes some sense at least. Still drives me nuts but if there was some logic at play I’ll leave it be lol.
