2021 Yukon xl

[Stewmatic]

Hi,

I am picking up my first Yukon XL tomorrow. I am buying it used with 90,000 miles on it. It’s a 2021 with a 5.3L. Before I pull it off the lot tomorrow I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on things to check before I clear the lot and I’m locked in.

2 functional keyfobs, spare tire and jack with accessories. If the vehicle has locking lug nuts the lug nut tool is there and fits propertly or have the locking lugs removed before delivery.

Check the exterior close for rust or damage. inspect the windshield for cracks. Make sure the AC works and look at the tires to make sure they are not mismatched either in brand or size. Verify all the floor mats are there. Typically these trucks do not have a rear cargo mat.

If the battery is original, plan on replacing it soon or see if you can get it replaced before you take delivery. The battery is likely 4+ years old at this point and with all the electronics in these newer vehicles, a weak/bad battery can cause all sorts of strange problems.

Last but not least, check the engine oil level, coolant level and tire pressures. Make sure there are no open recalls as well.

These are all great suggestions, thank you. It’s 38 degrees out here I wonder if I can check the A/C given the climate.

You can if you have them pull it into their facility and hook it up to an A/C machine and verify the high side and low side pressures are in spec.
