A few things I can share from my research of the Yukon XL (our SLE Duramax is on order). The cubby to the right of the infotainment screen is for your sunglasses (not up in the overhead console like most other rigs). The brake controller installed by your dealer is made by Curt and called the Spectrum. It's available to order direct from GM as an "accessory" in the trailering category when you build your Yukon on their site. Also, when you build a Yukon SLE, there's a packaged for ~$500 called "GMC Pro Safety Plus" which gets you blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. I agree it should be standard equipment on a rig of this size, but at least it's available on SLE and doesn't require upgrading to SLT.
Yeah the video comments had me worried becuase I was thinking you got the blind spot mirrors with the pro safety plus package. You confirmed that.. I Also ordered max trailer pkg. for brake controller and two speed case. Deleted the front console for a bench. Should be neat. Ordered mine 3rd week March hopefully gets built soon
@@obrienracing1 We ordered the week after you. Duramax and front bench are our only options. I wanted max tow, but it’s on constraint so I took it off in hopes that our order gets picked up sooner. I’ll just wire in for the Prodigy P3 I already have. Hope your order gets picked up soon!!!
I would love to add this exact vehicle to our garage. I guarantee you that lack of blind spot monitoring is to push people to the SLT. Great choice!
Yeah they have to do something to get people to buy the higher trims, I didn’t fall for it though. Thanks for watching!
Very good honest opinion of your new set of wheels! Thanks….. I want one! I allways buy loaded up Duramax pick ups! Easy to sell when a couple years old with 40K on them! Was waiting to hear from a new owner like u to get an honest evaluation of the 3L in line 6 Duramax!
That's for watching, I'll be doing a follow up review shortly!
Just two weeks ago we bought our brand new 2022 Yukon 4X4 SLE Duramax and love it so far, great mpg.
They are great vehicles, we are very happy with ours as well!
Great review! Thanks for showing us the SLE. There is not a lot of reviews on this model.
Yes!!
Great review
Thank you very much!!
That’s exactly i was looking for
I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching
We were ready to order an SLE and then the wife found you could not get a power lift gate and that was a deal breaker for her. I still wanted the SLE, but we ended up ordering a SLT to get the power lift gate. I am typically a minimalist, less stuff to break type guy. I was however disappointed in the fact that you can not get adaptive cruise with out upgrading to a Denali, another 10k over our build. We rented a 21 last year and drove from Texas to California and the vehicle was great for a road trip. Our new Yukon will replace our 2002 Tahoe, which my wife has been driving since it was new, so it time. The Tahoe has 220000 miles on it and has pretty much been garage kept this whole time and will go to our son who just started driving. Great video. Enjoyed your presentation.
Thanks for sharing, yeah the power lift gate is an oversight on the SLE. We've done fine with just the manual gate so I'm glad I didn't upgrade to the SLT. Did you get the diesel?
@@Myksgarage No Sir, the order just got picked up 2 weeks ago......we can't wait. I am 54 and have only purchased 3 new cars in my life , so makes it pretty exciting.
Simply perfect car for big family! 👍
Yes indeed, thanks for watching
Thanks for the in-depth review of the SLE… I didn’t find any quality reviews on the lower trim and I appreciate it. The biggest struggle I have had is which engine option to select. I want the diesel but unfortunately they’re too many valid points not to buy it. We are looking to order a XL 5.3L with the max tow pkg. we have a 2.8L duramax in our Colorado and I like it a lot and we will keep that truck. I think emission systems requirements really have hampered modern diesel proliferation. The long-term reliability of these emission systems will be interesting. I truly worry about the maintenance costs. Also I’m not overly blown away it with a 3.0’s maintenance requirement at 150,000 miles for the oil pump belt, which requires the engine and transmission separated and the engine pulled for access. This engine’s critical maintenance items are against the firewall, which is a huge problem in my opinion. there’s no doubt the diesel is going to be the better tow vehicle and get better fuel economy but when you add up the additional cost of diesel fuel, DEF, filter changes in routine maintenance costs, which I’m experiencing in my 2.8L, I think the advantage diesel used to have is lost.
Those are some great points, thanks for sharing your experience
I like the updated dash of the 22 a bit better than my 21
Yeah that's a nice change they have made. Thanks for watching!
After having your Yukon with D-Max a while, what is your opinion on how it tows your 7X16 trailer? I currently have a Suburban with the 5.3 and I have a 7X16 for dirtbikes and it tows the trailer OK but I get 8 MPG when towing. Definitely needs to downshift and stay higher in the RPM's when I get in hills. Was hoping the 3.0 handled the trailer better with the low torque curve. I thought you said 13 MPG when towing, is that still a good number?
Yeah I've towed it a few times now and consistently get 12-13 mpg towing it
@@Myksgarage Awesome, thank you! I see you have a big D-Max so nothing compares but are you happy with the way it tow's your trailer or does it struggle when pulling up a grade?
This 3.0L Duramax doesn't struggle at all pulling this cargo trailer loaded down. it pulls it very well, it doesn't struggle at all. I think in large its due to the 10 speed transmission and the low RPM torque. Im very impressed with it.
@@Myksgarage Thank you again for your feedback, I struggled to find someone that could offer real world towing point of view. This really helped and I think I will upgrade to the 3.0 Duramax.
Since you ordered it in 2021, did you pay MSRP? Or did you get some kind of discount? Just wondering what, if any, discounts they were giving? Thanks
No discounts, I paid MSRP
@@Myksgarage bummer, but thanks for the info.
@@hammer-r you just gotta push harder - the discounts are there but if you don't ask they wont give
i just ordered the SLT - it was only an extra 5K CAD
@@guessable , not sure I understand your response. Seems you paid 5k over MSRP. Oh I’ve been asking and they come back with well that’s the way it is. No worries. I’m not going to pay anywhere above or near MSRP. I refuse. I can wait until they are up to their ears in inventory again 😂. Yesterday I looked at two different Tahoe’s, one was 5k over and the other was 10k over. It will get better later this year or early next year.
You rather a base Yukon instead of a suburban with a few options? Is the base YUKON that much better in the standard version?
You can get a base suburban LS which is about the same as the base Yukon SLE. A higher trim suburban would've been a lot more money than my base Yukon.
True. May opt for the LT suburban for a few hundred more. The yukon upgrades are expensive
Unless the yukon comes with a different shock system
Did you get a MSRP discount? ~how much?
I paid msrp
Does it come with remote start?
Yes it does!
As long as Diesel truck comes with DEF, I am not likely to buy unless i can remove DEF system out
Yeah removing is not an option
Let’s hope it doesn’t start rattling like a bag of marbles after a few thousand miles ….and then have low oil pressure and need a new engine and the next engine does the same and no oil on the dipstick at 3,000 miles and the nice gm techs tell you it’s the characteristics of the engine…even though it was quiet when I bought it and quiet with the new engine and quiet after I made them reset the injectors and half a tank later sounding like a bag of marbles and a detonating gas motor…I had numerous other 3.0 owners rude in my truck and they about jumped out the window when they heard the sound..shame on gm for not buying it back and telling me such lies
That sucks!
That is not what I wanted to hear! I’ve had 5 , 6.6L pick ups, I now want to retire & get a short wheel base Yukon diesel! ?? Oh what to do!
Но дизел 2022
🤷
No GMC is good unless it's a Denali😌
Debatable
Likely the dumbest thing I'll read on the internet today.
🤷
@@Myksgarage lol, Mr. Alex’s comment is likely the dumbest thing I’ll read on the internet. Not you… We have a 2022 GMC 4x4 SLE as well
Brilliant effort!! successful video!
