Would you buy your Yukon or Tahoe again?

Thanks for the post. Just this morning I was trying to figure out why I couldn't scan from the steering wheel. Now I know why. Thanks

Dumb isn't it? And annoying. I live on the border of another state. Within maybe 10 - 15 minutes, my 'favorite' radio stations from my house are no longer legit, but I can't scan through stations available in the area unless they are pre-programmed as favorites. Must have been a Monday morning design for sure - sometimes you just shake your head, like who the heck thought that was a good idea?

What I found out is if I’m listening to Pandora via USB it will seek through the favorites. When listening through Bluetooth it will change the track. I bought a cigarette lighter charger and use Bluetooth now.

I've had my 2017 Denali XL for over a year now. Love the car except for the inconsistent 1-2 shift under medium throttle. Everything else is perfect. Would definitely buy the car again but only with the new 10 speed. Would not but the car again with the current 8 speed.

I would just like to scan through FM & AM stations from the steering wheel. I have a 15 Tahoe, but I think my previous 07 Tahoe had that feature. Why did it go away....

Yep. 31K and no issues with my 2016. I'd probably buy the RST if I were in the market right now, but really the 5.3l engine isn't underpowered at all.

Bought a new 16 Denali already has 53k miles. Only issue was AC crapping out but fixed under warranty. Otherwise rock solid. Can't beat the size, power and associated items like captain chairs etc. And agree with a previous post, the new 10 speed is an upgrade if purchasing new. Only ride I'd take a look at before pulling the trigger again on a GM is the next gen MB GLS which comes out soon. From what I've read it's longer and wider, and the interior redesign makes it much bigger on the inside.

What's up guys...brand new to the forum. I am a current Toyota owner (Tundra and Land Cruiser) and our last 5-6 vehicles have been Toyota or Lexus. Despite the fact that they are boring with not a lot of bells and whistles, the reliability is what has kept me coming back. That said, I came really close to buying a Yukon Denali a couple years ago for my wife until we stumbled onto all the online threads/articles about the booming/buffeting. That's when we decided to stick with Toyota and go with a certified pre-owned '14 Land Cruiser.

My Tundra Limited is an '08 and still in really good shape (only 150k miles) but I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a new vehicle. That said...I absolutely LOVE the look, size, and features of these Yukons however the nightmare stories that I read online about vehicle problems and/or horror stories about getting shafted by the dealer scares the crap out of me. This is a huge investment to have to deal with a ton of vehicle/dealership problems.

So my question to you is...if you had to do it over again, would you buy another Tahoe or Yukon? There are so many of these things on the road...it is hard for me to understand whether the horror stories and negative reviews online are the minority, or the majority and folks keep buying them anyway.

Thanks for the help guys.

We have owned 3 Toyotas for a number of years. Bought them because of their bullet proof reputation but had problems from the start with our new '11 Highlander. Machine screws falling out from under the dash and never ending rattles and squeaks. The local Asheville NC dealer Service Dept was less than helpful and for that, we went with GMC.

We are on our first Yukon Denali 4x4. So far we would buy again. I'm glad we waited for the '18 with 10 speed and highway mpg is better than the '11 Highlander V6 getting 24+ on long highway trips doing 70-80. Around town the highlander edges out the Yukon but it is close.

Have not had to deal with the local dealer service dept yet but they seem to be efficient and helpful. So yes, no buyer remorse.

Did you buy new, or Certified Pre-Owned?

Bought Camry , Tacoma, and Highlander brand new within two years. Only one we didn't have problems with was the Camry. The Camry Dashboard is now "melting" but covered by TSB. Sunvisor fell off but daughter didn't take advantage of recall in time frame. Highlander also had rear hatch hinges and seals replaced under warranty ( leaked dust and water) and spent 2 weeks of our first month of ownership at dealer with an elusive short in the "downhill mode". Tacoma heater motor was intermittent but wouldn't go out at dealer, banged on dashboard and it would come on. finally went out for good and dealer said "warranty expired" As posted earlier, the lack of dealer service put the last nail in the Toyota coffin for our family. Giving GMC and Honda a chance, wondering about Honda but that is a post for a different forum.......................
