Hey All I am in the market for a full-size SUV and obviously love the look at new Tech and space of the Yukon.
I would definitely wait for the a AT4 for off-road version.
I have to be honest I am nervous as you know the old adage of never buying a first year model redesign.
I have always been a Toyota guy and love the durability and reliability. That being said I am open to getting a Yukon.
I am close to buying a Land Cruiser but still entertaining perhaps picking up this rig later this year.
A question to the group, If you were going to keep this car for 200,000 miles would you have any concerns buying the first year?
Any concern with the air suspension that it will last for many years.
How reliable do you think this new version will be?
Thanks for the feedback
Eric
I purchased an SLT Yukon the end of July and do have some concerns.
>First, I noticed a strong vibration that increased with speed. Had to schedule service within days of purchasing and a road force balance appears to have solved that.
>I also noticed several clicking/ticking sounds within the cabin. Most appear to be coming from headliner. Sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies above your head. You can press on the headliner and hear metal to plastic clicking noises. Very annoying while driving. (Pending service appointment.
>The front park assist keeps alerting false positives when backing up or while parked in traffic/lights. (Pending service appt)
>Android Auto will not work and USB chargers not working correctly. I've tried multiple cables and USB plugs (USB and C). It will show lighting bolt on phone but screen never goes to standby and phones heats up. It never charges. Android Auto just wont connect. I'm tech savy and it may just be my phone. (Pending service appt)
>One day the left side 360 cam showed pixelated image on screen. Has yet to return.
>I still have black specs on windows that are a b**ch to remove. I used a razor blade and somehow managed to scratch windows. Not sure this is related to the "Mayfly" situation or not. I think the spots came from the manufacturing process, as the substance is difficult to remove.
>I swear there is a slight transmission shudder with 3rd gear. Its nothing major, but I can definitely tell a difference with that gear and all others. (Will keep watching that)
>Ride quality is good, but I expected better. I test drove Tahoes before this (based my purchase off of Tahoe) with magnetic ride and it was better. My Yukon does not have that, only the "premium smooth ride" suspension.
>5.3L is severally lacking in power, in my opinion. I'm coming from 2019 Ram Hemi. Probably the slowest vehicle I've owned. Would recommend the 6.2L.
>No more adjustable pedals; which would be nice because I don't thing the adjustable power steering comes out far enough.
Should we create a 2021 problems and solution thread?
Sorry for the long post. I like vehicles and purchase or lease very often. I'm very picky, maybe to picky. I am really hoping the dealer can solve my small complaints, because it really is an excellent vehicle. My kids love it; the media system/infotainment is great. Looks awesome, inside and out. I just have reliability concerns and really can;t stand interior squeaks and creaks!
Thanks
