Only thing I don’t like about this 3.0 Diesel in my 2024 Yukon XL SLT is trying to pass on the highway, particularly single lane roads. It feels a bit gutless when you really need it to pull. I’m not sure if the gears with the max tow package negatively impact that?
Around town it’s very peppy and the torque, both around town and on the highway, is phenomenal but I really don’t have a ton of confidence when I need to juice it past a transport truck or a line of 2-3 slow moving cars on a single lane 100kph/60mph highway (we have quite a few areas in rural Nova Scotia where we have some single lane highways).
My F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost (soon to be traded in for the 3.5) is a completely different highway experience as far as passing acceleration goes.
