I am new to the forum. I have been lurking for about 1.5 years. This forum has been a wealth of knowledge for me. My wife and I had a 3 child about 16 months ago and our 2018 Armada Platinum just didn't cut it size wise anymore for road trips. We previously owned a 2015 Yukon that my wife felt had the best ride of any truck she has ever had. That begin my search for a yukon xl. I inquired about ordering a 2023 but there was always constraints. Fast forward of the announcement of a refresh, we decided to wait to order a 2024.

Fast forward,refresh was canceled so i begin to look for gently used Yukon XLs. Found a 2021 SLT built exactly how I wanted it with rear seat media, black wheels, hd surround cameras. The works with less than 22k miles. We had to compromise on color as we wanted white. This will hold us over until the next redesign.

Thank you for all the welcomes. I am from Mississippi.

@swathdiver this is my wife's daily driver, grocery getter, and our road trip vehicle. Wife works from home so this truck will see very little use outside of the road trips we take yearly.

@Joseph Garcia I do plan to participate. I have learned alot about these vehicles during my time lurking.

Glad you mentioned this as I have a word of advice for you. Even when not being driven, the truck's computers turn on and off all the time to do various things and this of course discharges the battery. If your wife makes numerous short trips, this will further deplete the battery, it never gets a chance to become fully re-charged. We see this a lot post-covid with people of complaining of bad batteries in their new cars.

Anyhow, the solution here is to put the truck on a battery tender when you know she's going to be sitting or just uses it for errands not far from home. There are lots of choices out there, we even have a guy on here who attends a battery tender anonymous counseling as he's seemingly addicted to them!

Battery Life when parked, 2023 Tahoe

How long can I expect the battery to last when the 2023 Tahoe is parked? Can I go 2 or three months and have it start, or am I looking at 2 or 3 days? I know that asking for a month or more is a lot but my 2008 Chevy gives me a dead battery in 2 weeks. I successfully fixed this issue on the...

Battery Tender with De-sulfication Built It

I'm interested in purchasing a battery tender with the additional feature to remove sulphur deposits from the plates. I believe that some on you have made this purchase, and I'm interested in what brand that you purchased, and your thoughts on how it performs.
