Is the NEW 2021 GMC Yukon Denali the BEST Luxury SUV to BUY?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Yukon Denali is FINALLY receiving a makeover from top to bottom. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. GMC has lengthened not only the wheelbase of the Yukon Denali but also the actual length of the vehicle. Under the rear of the Denali you will find independent rear suspension. On the outside the Yukon receives new sheetmetal and 22in wheels. On the inside you will find a Denali specific interior with more room and technology than every before! Is the 2021 GMC Yukon Denali the ULTIMATE full size luxury SUV?

It's really not that impressive. They've got the 2nd row slide way forward giving the illusion of legroom but if someone was sitting there it would be less. Slide it back and a 2008 Expedition has as much room as that and the seat sits higher for more comfort. That third row is too low with your knees jacked to your chest. Chevy has been way behind on 3rd seating for a LONG time. They are only just catching up. Expeditions 3rd row reclines too. I don't believe Chevy's does. It's certainly improved but I think Ford still takes the edge on seating.

There are literally TSBs for all of the 6.2s famous well documented engineering faults. Now you most likely have no idea what a tsb is so ill explain it to you. TSB stands for Technical Service Bulletin. Manufacturers send out TSBs to all the dealerships to show the technicians how to repair the issue. The list of TSBs for the 6.2 is extremely long.

Joe, great video, I appreciate all of your thorough reviews and content. The only thing I’d like to see you enhance your videos would be multiple camera angles and feeds when test driving! I think that would definitely provide the viewers with the exact rich content we’re all looking for! Great job though! I wasn’t considering a SLT until after seeing your video, but you really highlight what you get and you could save $20k versus a Denali, which, as you might say, buys a whole lot of twinkies or rolexes! Thanks and keep making great videos!
Great review Joe as always. The 2021 Yukon Denali is definitely worth the wait! GM has raised the bar on this vehicle. I love the attention to detail that was put into this vehicle need less to say yes there are some options GM have missed out and should have captured from thier previous designs but hey hopefully GM will listen more and have those options added in thier next design. I do love the built in infotainment system just bang on the money as well as exterior and interior of the vehicle. The driving experience is exceptional great job GM in delivering a great product 👍🏿.
Quad pipes on a Yukon...I love it. That is an awesome SUV. Great review!

@@trentjmcdonald Yep, it's a better "value". Cadillac Escalade customers aren't worried about values. They want the very best and with the 2021 Escalade that is exactly what you are getting. We bought an Escalade because of the freaking insane tech they came out with and you can't get that in the Yukon. Also bought it because it just oozes luxury and has a ton of finishes and touches that make it a step above the Yukon. Don't get me wrong, the Yukon is nicer than it's ever been, we've had 3 of them over the years, but the new Escalade is truly something special.
