The rotisserie chicken is an official unit of car center storage measurement! ♥️ 🍗
These older Yukon's are absolutely awesome!
Found this video while researching the 2007 Denali before buying one. We are now super excited to purchase it black on black with only 60,000 miles on it is 2024🥳Shows very little common normal wear so we know it is original miles. Was just never driven!
i might cry if i had an SUV like that but dang its baller. Used to have a 1996 Landcruiser and that used to get a combined 13mpg and alot of the driving was city when we had it. Also a full time 4wd just like this GMC. Also used to have a 1997 Suburban and that actually felt like it was a better highway cruiser because the engine would barely spin over 1500 going highway speeds with the 5.7. Filling the gas tank wasnt the most fun but gas was still under $2 those days.
hey Zach, just wanted to post a little comment telling you how much I love your content! I discovered your channel when looking up vids about the 2002 Lexus is300, since I’m switching with my dad for my 2006 Camry. I put your videos on before bed for ambient noise and I really like how often you upload. Keep up the good work man!
Out of all the Suburban/Yukons my favorite has always been the GMT800s..I feel like they had the best styling and features. The GMT900s just look to bland in comparison. It was kinda common on late 00s era GM vehicles imo. These were nice trucks though..and I do have a soft spot for this era GM vehicles. But I personally prefer 2005 and older GMs.
GMT800s are golden era Chevy in my opinion
Wow you actually responded to my comment with a video
Thanks man Loved it ❤️
I would say that the GMT800 was probably the height of the GM big SUV/truck. I like the GMT400 better, but there's no arguing that it is easily more dated and not as nice inside, which the GMT800 fixes. Plus, unlike the GMT900, I think they look less generic, and they have much better build quality (especially interior wise) than the GMT900. Plus, the engine problems with the DOD system on the GMT900 trucks. They are definitely better than the current Suburbans, but I think the GMT800 was the best of the best, all around.
800s was definitely Chevys golden era
The GMT400 in my opinion was the best platform because it had this American truck like platform and they still run strong to this day
i had an 06...it got repo'd a couple years ago, but i just purchased this 07 and I'm so excited for it! nice review!
Great review, love these GMS from that era. Looks like the interior & switchgear could have done with a Clorox wipe or 2, yuk.
I love my 07 standard length Denali. I plan on having you review it in the future!
Love the historical context!
Just bought one today. Had to watch this video to figure out what all the buttons means lol. Great video!
Would you recommend one for daily driving
Great review, I especially appreciate the interior tour. I saw one of these pop up on Marketplace at a surprisingly good price, looks like they've hit the bottom of their depreciation curve and are pretty reasonable. On one hand, I like that the 6.2 doesn't have the displacement on demand, on the other hand, the AWD system worries me.
Like it a lot Zach you made the 2 into 1 from the 55mph video you did with the history and you put it into a video
Normal video
The 01-06 generation was definitely they best for the Yukon Denali
Not really because 6.2 is king
My favorite Gen is the current one 2021+, but this one aged the best so far, the interior on the newer Tahoes already looks a little older than it is imo. And no it don’t look modern it has a late 2000s look for sure.
Love these
My mom used to have one like this but it was a 2012
I love my 2007 Tahoe. I would definitely recommend to buy any gm truck based suv from this era.
And delete afm lifters being the first thing you do when you buy one lol
@@warriorplutotrent3827 yeah that helps for sure, but mine has 245,000 with the lifters still activated, original engine and transmission.
My opinion: GMT800 was better. More comfortable, no engine issues, and while the build is a bit loose they hold up well. GMT400s are awesome too, it's such a clean design and they hold up well too. To me, GMT900 SUVs are okay if somewhat bland (engine issues notwithstanding) and the GMT900 trucks are depressingly generic.
GMs marketing department really did well to push these. They're archaic compared to the competition, especially the Expedition and Armada. The Expedition had a higher towing capacity, power folding third row, independent long travel rear suspension starting in 03, power adjusting pedals, parking sensors, ventilated seats, and an intelligent auto 4x4 that would prevent slippage and direct more power where needed. The GMT800s would just flipped on a 50/50 split during slippage. Both are excellent and ultra durable SUVs. The Ford had far better tech and driving dynamics, but unfortunately the 05+ Expedition used the 3V 5.4. So the GMT800 was definitely a better choice after 05.
2:36 I think that's a one year instrument cluster Display
any chance you will talk about the gmt800 gmc suburban (GCC yukon xl) or just the XL if you couldn't get your hands on a middle east model
I am now trying to imagine someone playing super smash bros meless in the back with the rca jacks but hopefully that won't distract the driver. Heck or even mario kart double dash although not sure what there would be to power a gamecube.
Unless the 6.2 had a stock 6-speed 2007 didn’t have the 6-speed transmission in 2009 the 6-speed was introdruced
Can you do a review on the GMT400 from the 90s I like the 1999 and older GM Trucks
The official car of the recession
These are still rather popular tho
I have a 2013 and I love it better body style than the 2023 Gm went overboard with the style just to run the price up on it smh only thing I have to do is get mines repainted because I got it from up North where salt from snow on road got to certain parts of the paint job but I sprayed some rust stop on those areas but once I get it repainted those spots should disappear at least I pray it does🤷🏾♂️
With those RCA out puts you showed in the back while watching SpongeBob, could you hook up a play station and play it while your parents drove?
I haven't had one since the PS2 but I know it had those hook ups!
Yes sir you can
I love Chevy/GMC SUV 🇺🇸
My favorite SUV
If I were to get any of these and it had AFM, I will delete it, a nice aftermarket truck cam etc.
I have a 2008 Yukon denali xl 2wd 6.2l fully loaded with tow. for 07 and 08 they came factory without afm nor dod im at 230123 miles still have the factory transmission now my fuel pump went out but man i love this truck SUV i dont give 2 fuck about gas prices that 6.2 L94 is a beast now get this model and year in AWD and supercharge that dude
Price
What's Your Opinion On a 06 Yukon Denali vs 2007 Yukon Denali?
I have an 2007 just like the one in the video nut not the XL. Regular maintenance and some other preventative but it is an awesome suv. Changed o ring on oil pick up tube, front cv axles. Oil pan gasket, recharged AC. Had 255 000 km on it. Now at 295 000 km lots of power. Minor iasues
You mean miles?
06 is more reliable
I own a 2007 denali xl. But just got a 23 sienna awd. The sienna also came with those headphones and a remote. Just sayin
Bang for buck ..best luxury car u can drive …its comfy as fuck and drives great …plus its kinda fast for a truck that weighs 5700 pounds ….i got a 2007 yukon denali stantard size not the xl ….love it and its been a tank for years just regular maintenance
13 mpg? I got 9 in it lol
GMC Yukon
04 for sale near me.
4300...... love to have it but premium gas , yuge gas tank
Nice condition but .......
Is GMC professional grade until Is DOD bricks :D :D but these were Is available tracks
Like I said
Damn, what'd you look for the most clapped out example possible?
My brother has one in identical spec to this, except a 2011 model year. Gotta say, it's... disappointing.
The 6.2 makes absolutely fantastic power, but we just passed 180k miles and the DOD/AFM is starting to fail, you can hear it stumble and try to stay running for ~15 seconds during a cold start every morning. The dash is cracked and creaks when you're taking turns or going down a windy country road. The steering wheel badge is completely silver and none of the climate control buttons have any labels any more. And that 6 speed is... kinda clunky if I'm being honest. On the upside, it's a fantastic towing vehicle
It's not really that comfortable imho, unless you're in the drivers seat, then it's like sitting on a cloud. The passenger seat feels like I'm sitting *on* in rather than *in* it, and the rear seats are shockingly disappointing in terms of comfort and legroom for a vehicle of such size (I'm 6'4" and straight up can't get comfortable in the 2nd row, it's tight on legroom). They made the right decision switching to IRS for the new gen, it frees up a ton of room, especially for third row passengers. Every time i drive it, it feels like bailout era GM, which it is. If it were my money, I'd just buy a pre-07 GMT800 with the 6.0 and be done with it
Yea your spitdometer
