I love my 07 Yukon Denali!! It's not the XL. It has 297k miles and has lots of rust but no issues. No engine light, No TPMS issues, it's always super comfortable and super reliable. I also average about 17 mpg but have after market wheels and Mickey Thompson tires. Just a fantastic vehicle all the way around!! I have owned it since new.

I weirdly got excited for this one! When I was 13 this was literally my dream suv 🤣🤣🤣 also congrats on 15k

My 07 real world Yukon Denali non xl gets 24.7 average at 80 mpg. But I have a tune, full exhaust and the 3rd row seats removed. My profile pic is my reflection in the door.

[travisringler]

My Denali averages 9mpg in town. Not sure what hwy mpg is. But I love the truck!

I have a 2011 Denali with 263, 000 miles, I live in a rural area and average 13.5 mpg- haven't done a long highway trip yet to see what highway mileage is like. But as you stated, these aren't designed for fuel economy. I can tow my boat or car hauler in comfort and style, lol.

17 mpg in a vehicle that’s already aged and has horsepower drop off with a V8 and is a boat yet somehow gets better gas mileage then my v6 2010 explorer.

[justinburkart]

I have the opportunity at a 2008 Yukon Denali, not the XL! I’m in Canada and it has just under 200k km on it (124k miles) it’s a family members mechanics daily. He’s looking for $8, 000 Canadian which is unbelievably cheap for vehicles right now. Not sure if I should be bold and make the move, no A/C and it’s a gas guzzler!

Love the gmt900, gmt800 and older platforms. Really want a 2500 Suburban 4x4 for a duraburb.

Loved your review! Got a like and a new subscriber!

I believe that Denali with the 6.2 takes premium. Not regular

[codyturner]

Just picked an 2008 except its white. Very easy to work on and drives great. MPG is well not great only 145k on it too.

[stanants]

it would have been nice if you had also reset the onboard MPG to see if it was accurate. But great information.

WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT..
17 MILES A GALLON LEGENDARY..
KING OF THE ROAD 💯
U HAVE TO PAY TO BE LEGENDARY 💯💯

[Jfarmerthunder]

Just found out these take 91 octane fuel 😂😅

[DRod]

I thought only premium was ok for a Denali ?

[jorge.solorio]

Are y'all going to be doing a real world sound system test for the Yukon shown?

[kylechellino]

Who's truck is this? Will there be a Winding Road video on this? This is my dream truck!

[hackervirus]

17.6mpg is a dream. My yukon denali gets 12.4mpg

[danielb-c]

Can you do 2012 Chevy Silverado ltz and lzt 2500 duramax

[svaddict]

Sound demo coming? Heh. I remember the old (either sequía or 4runner one) and that one made me laugh.
