I'm looking at my Odometer it's at 349189 , I'm waiting to hit 350000. A few years ago I watched it hit 250000. Going through the Texas Panhandle heading back from vacation! People jaws always hit the floor when I tell them it's a 2001 has almost 300k on it. I've owned it for ,7 years now, only replaced brakes, belts hoses and a few other wear items. Only major repair was a transmission rebuild at 240k when I lost reverse and that was technically a minor issue because it was a small rubber oring that failed the rest was still solid. I did have the entire transmission rebuild just as a precaution. All I can say is take care of it, oil changes every 3k only use Mobil One Full Synthetic, tires, Brakes Hoses etc oh yeah I did have the fuel pump replaced the week I purchased it probably why they traded it in. And of you live in the salt belt treat the under carriage with something like Fluid Film and keep on it. If you're in the south it should last forever.…

Just a great vehicle

Bought my 2005 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Denali about 5 years ago for $5500. Put another $5000 in repairing every little things to bring it to like new condition and since then I've only had to keep up on the preventative maintenance and it's been great. Incredibly comfortable, feels like I'm driving from a lazy boy chair. Acceleration getting on the freeway is very good for a vehicle so large. While the mpg's leave something to be desired, it's a reliable and dependable. With the 3rd row removed and middle seats down I can fit 4x8 sheets of plywood in it back and the back door will still close all the way. I've had 4400 pounds of cement bags in the back and the self leveling rear suspension made it feel and handle like it was empty just going for a Sunday morning drive. I'll probably buy another one, same generation, down the road to have as a backup vehicle. Would definitely recommend this SUV and will buy again.…
