I had a Yukon Denali and traded that in for a SLT Yukon. 5.3 has plenty of power and don’t have to put premium fuel in it like the 6.2. Like the fixed running boards over the power as the power running boards had so many problems, would not deploy or retract all the time. You can get just about every option the Denali has without the crazy sticker price.
GMC Yukon price increases since 2019: 2019-2020 = 2.22% This is normal 2020-2021 = 2.55% Again normal 2021-2022 = 0.97% Below Normal 2022-2023 = 9.3% Way above normal 2023-2024 = 3.83% Above normal, not by much 2024-2025 = 15.6% Way, way, way above normal
I have a 2024 Yukon Denali, the Denali is the highest trim I got the Ultimate, I don’t think this new Yukon will top the Denali, I have a power sliding center console, it’s ain’t game over for the Denali.. and yes I have the blackout 2024 Yukon Denali Ultimate..
Oh please, the Denali has nothing to worry about but this new base model Yukon was an ingenious choice. It looks so good straight off the truck. I like the subtle chrome accents, I even like the wheels on the Elevation. Hardest choice in the world between this and a Tahoe Premier.
Bingo! I decided to go with the Elevation over the a Tahoe Premier. My Elevation has the tech package that even comes with Super Cruise, and the price was basically the same as the Tahoe which didn't have the same options. The only advantage the Premier has is the 6.2 engine, which was fine because I dont want to pay for premium gas.
Not really. This is probably high 70s with all of these options. The Denali is over 90k. That is his point. The Denali will have Denali badging, larger engine and a little more tech like power steps. I dont think it's worth 15-20K more.
I have an 8" screen which is more then plenty in my opinion, I can see these new big screens and with all the gloss black will be covered in dust an fingerprints constantly.
Regular suspension, I have the magnetic air ride and 4 corner air ride… lol this new Yukon has fixed running boards lol, yes I have all the technology this 2025 have… my 2024 Yukon Denali all the options possible are installed…
You can add power running boards after market for 2k. For 10-12k I can do without a telescoping steering wheel. I also think they do have a black option for the Elevation for like 1600 bucks. What I dont get is I like the other 22" machine faced wheels on the white paint. That is a 3295 option. That 800 bucks per wheel and tire! Do I get to keep the 20's that come with it at least, my goodness GM that is a ridiculous price!
We just bought a 25 Yukon Elevation with the Elevation black package. The SUV is an absolute road trip champion! As far as swapping 20's for 22's - Yeah, you keep them. You paid for them and they're yours (unless you negotiate a discount in exchange). Twice I've had dealerships/upfitters attempt to keep wheels, grills, steps, etc which were being upgraded. Heck no! Those are mine and I'm keeping them. We ended up selling the original parts and made back a lot of our expenses from upgrading.
You said this Yukon Elevation does not come with the adjustable air ride suspension, but what about the Magnaride, does it come with that? Thanks. I'm actually hoping it doesn't, because then it will be easier to do a 3" lift and add larger 35" tires after market, something I'd love to do to the new Yukon Denali or AT4 Ultimates but their air ride and magnaride complicate doing so.
2025 has 15.6 % over the 2024 price increase in one year! And thats just the base price. It will only grow after you add options. That Brings the Yukon up to just under 35% price increase since 2019. Normal price increase per year for GMC Yukon's is about 2.5%. So in my opinion they are overpriced by a good 20%. So for this 80k Yukon, it should be sitting at about 64k. As much as we want one, we will just keep waiting until they figure out, we are not going to pay this much anymore. Time to hold out and wake up the car industry America! We will pay a fair price not this way overpriced crap!
If it has a v8, GM screwed it with the oil pan. Full stop. - Look for the video on Bank's Replacement Oil Pan for GM and you'll see. Leaving a full quart of used oil in the pan and pickup line is not good for any engine.

What your thoughts on the diesel . I’m also in market for Tahoe or Yukon
My Yukon is the 5.3, but I have a Sierra with the diesel and I love it. Plenty of power and excellent fuel mileage
GMC Yukon price increases since 2019:
2019-2020 = 2.22% This is normal
2020-2021 = 2.55% Again normal
2021-2022 = 0.97% Below Normal
2022-2023 = 9.3% Way above normal
2023-2024 = 3.83% Above normal, not by much
2024-2025 = 15.6% Way, way, way above normal
Interesting

@ that makes perfect sense to me. I’ve heard people say the 5.7L V8 has adequate power and feels good around town.
I agree with the value proposition on these vs any higher trim but people want that status symbol appearance is really want it boils down too
After all the upgrades you might as well as get Denali. Happy to hear other thoughts

@ thanks
4wd Elevation with Premium package, Super Cruise and 3.0L would be the ultimate road tripper for me. Not sure Denali is worth the extra cash.
Facts
Even though it's the base model, for the price of that thing, it should have a lot of features.
I have an 8" screen which is more then plenty in my opinion, I can see these new big screens and with all the gloss black will be covered in dust an fingerprints constantly.
GMC needs to do a black out package and have an option for the deployable running boards!
I like the screen on the tahoe better. And I'm not sure about this new style shifter.
I got the Elevation last week. The shifter is way better than the previous buttons. You just pull in slide up for R or down for Drive. Really simple.
Great review!!! Hopefully by mid summer 2025 I’ll have one!!!!
are you waiting for the Diesel?
@ no getting it for a bday gift for myself lol
Regular suspension, I have the magnetic air ride and 4 corner air ride… lol this new Yukon has fixed running boards lol, yes I have all the technology this 2025 have… my 2024 Yukon Denali all the options possible are installed…
It would have been nice to see the panoramic sunroof, that's a major feature for me.
I love the premium package but do NOT want the rear seat media system. Is there a cost-savings to specing this out the same without the media?
I love mine!
Nice! We want a video of this truck at night.

I agree. I wish it had ventilated seats
It does have ventilated seats
@ no it doesn’t
@@suprand window sticker in the video, technology package includes “heated and ventilated front seats”…
Wow. You’re right
I was hearing the same thing early on! Thank god it has the option. Picking one up soon.

Nice car ❤❤❤
What is the rear turn indicator colour?
JB I missed it was it with the 6.2 or 5.3??
The top of the sticker saws 5.3 with the 10 speed trans

The crazy part is a lot of Americans are going to go broke just because they feel “they need to be in the latest and greatest”
No way can you get the exact same options for 64k last year. Your numbers are way off. 😂
I just googled 2024 SLT is 67K before options. The 2025 Elevation is 69K. This Yukon has the Premium and Tech package, so that bumps it to around 80K
huge glossy screens are so bad...
Can you let us know how big of a gas tank these vehicles have
24 gallon
AT4
No they did not screw the Denali the Denali is still on top
If it has a v8, GM screwed it with the oil pan. Full stop. - Look for the video on Bank's Replacement Oil Pan for GM and you'll see. Leaving a full quart of used oil in the pan and pickup line is not good for any engine.
And you say it’s game over for the Yukon Denali, boy you should be fired for saying that..
poor people buy gm
Overpriced junk
