Is the NEW 2021 GMC Yukon SLT the best SUV for the money?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The ALL NEW Yukon is finally making its way to dealerships and GMC has brought out all the stops. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 that is pumping out 355HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the SLT features bright polished 20in wheels, running boards and lots of bright work trim. On the inside you will find a totally reworked cabin, infotainment system and lots of seating space. Is the 2021 GMC Yukon the BEST full size SUV for the money?

I've watched Joe for a few years now and he gives about the best reviews of anyone...and with great humor. I believe my wife will love this 2021 Yukon SLT. She really likes the looks of the Denali but there are a number of things we can use the extra savings on (+/- $20k). There is currently more DEMAND than SUPPLY (June 2021) but as soon as they start rolling back in I believe you have really helped make up our mind on a full size SUV! THANKS!!!!!!!
Don't think anyone does a better big SUV than America!

I bought exactly the same vehicle SLT at Sterling McCall GMC in Houston last week. It is absolutely incredible. I have had two Lexus and a Corvette and this vehicle is absolutely the best of the group. Technology beyond compare!
Love your videos! I appreciate you reviewing the SLT trim - every time I take the family on a road trip vacation I always end up renting a Yukon from Hertz. Then I never want to give them back. LOL. But if I were going to purchase - it would be a Denali - no question.
Another great review joe!
I just purchaced one yesterday and I really like the vehicle. Very comfortable seats and great quality. Nice but firm ride.
The wife and I had been debating whether it was worth it to go with the Denali over the SLT and we decided that a lot of the differences were “vanity” upgrades, so the SLT it is! Great review Joe!

Well its safe to say ur at the sweetspot of car reviewers. Awesome review and filming
Love that review, Joe!
Great review Joe. GM has certainly did a great job with the Yukon SLT line. The price point is very reasonable and it has certainly met all the requirements when it comes to options. Well done GM well done. ✔
Love the comfortable looking cabin on the Yukon. I'll take a combination of this interior but on the Denali trim level with the 6.2 POWAH! lol Keep 'em coming!

I remember when 20 inch rims were big. Those rims are a great size since the tires are so massive already, can still do some light off-roading and the ride will be more comfortable. 5.3 V8 is really all you need. Still has a great exhaust

I would like the chrome tipped exhaust on the SLT trim like on the Premier Tahoe but not a deal breaker
Watched both of your videos....how would you compare Yukon SLT v. Tahoe Premier?
Nice review.
Joe, you didn’t mention GM’s rearview camera. I thought all of the new GM SUV’s had those standard. I would be disappointed if a $60k + SUV did not have that as a standard feature.
Beautiful man. Personally I’m a Denali guy but this is a great option but certainly want the 6.2
I like how the speed and rpm are regular and the middle is digital because if the middle stops working your speed still works while you fix the middle.

The dimensions of the infotainment screen in the Denali is identical to the size of the infotainment screens in the lower trims, it’s just integrated differently and I think that makes it look much larger and grander because it’s closer to you and looks best with other interior parts *around it* complimenting the screen vs. it being a stand alone sticking up out of the dash. I think that makes it look smaller. Ford tried to do both with a screen that’s implemented so low into the dash there is no room for buttons underneath so they’re on the sides of the screen. But it’s a vertically styled integration and the screen is so tall it’s left sticking straight up out of the dash, and for reason cord thinks this looks good. Anyway I like both flavors of what GMC is offering here.
Great Review 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼😀😀

Is the review 25+ minutes long? Yes Have I watched it 5+ times? Yes!! Great review!!
You’re so silly that’s why I love your reviews always talking about twinkies and candies and oatmeal pies and milk and the list goes on lol
May I ask why you make you choose this over the Tahoe Premiere? This SLT & the Premiere are my two choices. Thanks!
Hope you can do a comparo between the Z71 and the AT4, now that they are starting to build the AT4.
This is a love in first sight.
@Joe, for ride comfort and cabin noise. do you give the edge to this trim yukon, or a limited/xlt Expedition of same/similar year?
I always see your videos because your the same size as me so I have an idea how I fit inside and outside of the vehicle.
They should put the hazard's on the blank middle area where you said you think there was a ejecting seat button
This guy can sneak Thanksgiving dinner into a movie theater
I absolutely love the Denali Duramax, however, once I found out about the DEF I almost fell over. Too bad you can't put Hot Shots in every new tank full and call it a day. I guess this Yukon is second on the list. Thanks Joe.

Likely trading in my Pacifica for a Yukon SLT next week for the family. Test drove it the other day, what a smoooooth ride. Amazing SUV. Just a shame that GMC doesn’t offer 360 surround camera and heated steering wheel as standard features. Especially in Canada, to give the customer heated seats but not wheel seems really dumb.

Do you prefer this over a 2021 mid-trim Tahoe?
Joe: has GM addressed the transmission issues and corrected them with the '21 models? I've seen story after story of failing transmissions and a class action lawsuit for most of their full size '15-'19 models having major shifting issues or having to be outright replaced.

Was this reg sus or air? If reg, how did it ride and have you tried both and can comment on if air is better/worse?
I am so glad I bought a 2020 Yukon SLT with hardly any miles on it for a "USED" price. I wish it had the newer suspension set up, if I'm being honest, but that's it. The interior of this new Yukon looks not at all truck like, which is why so many bought this before, and overall just odd to me. I don't want push button shifters or digital screens on my dash, other than to display MPH... maybe I'm an odd ball but I'm not feeling the front end of these, either. The last gen looked classy out front, this one looks... not.
