C. W. Appreciate the review, my wife and I will be shopping soon for a replacement vehicle for our aging SUV. Our oldest son is non-mobile, amongst other issues, and requires a wheelchair (Ki Mobility Focus CR). It's great to hear from someone who is not a salesman or spokesperson and I do love the HUD display feature. Love your channel and its content.
This is ridiculous, we all know that you can't drive anything, you just fly....stick to that, we know your wife drives you because cars make you nervous...lol kidding.... good review
I love the magnetic ride control ! 1st developed for the Vette. Huge handling difference in sport mode on my 2018 Denali 1500 pickup. Replacement cost for shocks is the downside...
Great review, enjoyed watching until the end. I purchased a 2021 and was curious to see what changes were made for 2023. I got to tell you, I think I got lucky with my 2021 and the options it came with. These shortages are rough and hitting everyone's pocketbooks. They have less standard and available options and cost significantly more. Your opinion on the breaks was good and on point. That was my exact reaction when I first got in. Although, my comparison was a 2011 and 2003 Yukon. The brakes on the AT4 and SLT are still good, huge upgrade from previous years. I tow quote often with ours, and this pulls and stops exceptionally well compared to my previous models. I flew 1500 miles to pick up my 2021 and drove it home. Never had any issues with the comfort. I have always found great comfort in GM SUVs and trucks.
My GMC Yukon AT4 is great, the only thing I hate it the infotainment package. With car seats it's a pain and I can't get anything to work with a thumb drive. I don't want to install a DVD player on the floor.
Loved my Tahoe when I had it in the early 2000's it was a great and versatile truck. I see you had a navigator in the right seat during your drone footage. Good top know that you aren't flying and driving at the same time! 😁
Awesome intro! Super well done! Who piloted the drone? Cameras while you are driving is an awesome add for off-road, especially going slow through obstacles.
I think you made a smart buy based on your needs and it should work far better than the last vehicle you had even though I liked it as well the reliability of the GM products to me are better and should last in the long run.
i 've seen one of those in Saudi Arabia last winter when i was working there looks amazing , love the size of the american suvs , the look like buses , the one i saw was a fire service or ambulance truck and with the equipment and lights looked like an european firetruck
Seats would be an issue for me since I do several long trips/year (4 - 11 hours). I would also think that you milage should improve as you accumulate more miles. I like adaptive cruise control although I have friends who hate it and turn it off. The start stop also bothered the heck out of me as well. Otherwise great looking vehicle, Thanks for the great review.
They become more comfortable as time goes on. The first few rides with my 2022 Sierra 3500 AT4 I thought I was sitting on a brick and made a huge mistake buying it without test driving it (had to get what I could find available and bought it over the phone), but after almost 9 months and 9,000 miles the seats are very comfortable.
I totally agree about the brakes. I purchased the Brembo big brake kit. Brake feel, confidence and distance improved however it affected my ride quality somewhat. The rotors for the kit is very heavy and you can feel that weight when driving.
Good video. It is good to see that American SUVs are getting closer in technology to European and Asian SUVs, although there are a few more steps to go. But it's great to see American SUVs maintain that imposing presence.💪
Had a 2003 yukon xl Denali then got a used 2016 Denali XL. 6.0L vs 6.2L vvt. Night and day. Nice adaptive cruise and my wife's Highlander does. Ouch GM!
I have a 2018 Tahoe Premiere with the adaptive cruise control. The reason your AT4 doesn’t have it is because they put the radar and electronics for it in the frame rail where your left front tow hook attaches to the truck. Yes, they could reposition it, but thats where it is on mine so I had to put a single tow hook on the right side for emergencies.
Really great filming and shots! Awesome review tbh. Seats becoming uncomfy after 2 hours is a big L for a long cruise vehicle. The Adaptive cruise missing is also a huge issue. GM Should do something. Appreciate the video! it's cool to see a Fighter Pilot do a review actually.
I love this exact vehicle. We have a 2016 yukon Denali with some issues and looked into getting this exact model, but just can afford it at this time. Cars are stupid expensive right now.
@jliefer2484 blown valve springs, "Chevy shake" transition issues, passenger tail light that works once in a while (GM had a recall for it but by the time it started with the problem, the milage they set for the issue, my car was already over), just to make a few. Don't get me wrong, I love our Yukon
This is a really detailed review of your personal impressions of this vehicle, and absolutely worth the watch. Thumbs up! A question: You said after about 2 hours the seats became very uncomfortable. This has concerned me because the leather padding does look firm and thin, on the AT4 and frankly the Denali too. Do you have any experience or opinion on whether the seats are the same and would have the same uncomfortable feel after 2 hours or so on the Denali? How the driving comfort of the AT4 and Denali might compare on long drives? (Not necessarily the new highest end 2023 Denali Ultimate for that apparently has higher quality leather, though not sure if it has any more padding, but at least the Denali's other than the new Ultimate. I don't really like the brown leather interior of the Ultimate anyway, I prefer the all black leather of the Denali or the black with tan accents of the AT4 after that. There are multiple reasons I want an suv, but among them are my need for comfort on many long highway drives, not just an hour or two to get to a ski area, but 5 or 6 hour drives for a weekend, or long multi-8 hour day regional drives. Apparently the Escalade would be more comfortable on long drives, but it doesn't appear to have some of the driving capability and versatility of the AT4 and Denali)
The seats get better with time, or at least the ones on my 2022 Sierra 3500 AT4 have. I'm at almost 9 months and 9,000 miles and they're a lot better than the brick they started out as.
I bought a BMW R1250RT motorcycle late last year that was supposed to come with active cruise control but mine was built without it, due to "parts availability". BMW credited me about $1000 for its being missing. I never found out which part was the problem, but they started shipping ACC once again in early 2022. I've read this kind of system has been in short supply for many manufacturers which might explain why GMC isn't offering it yet.
Great video. I just got a 2022 Z71 Tahoe, 6.2L. The brakes are not great, you have to press the brake pedal a ways before they engage. Also, I had a 2020 Yukon 5.3L and I love the 6.2L. I would have to downshift going up a steep hill in my Yukon. Not so with the 6.2L Tahoe.
I don't understand why adaptive / super cruise isn't available. It should be a purchasable option. Could be technical reasons idk. But the paint blemish shouldn't happen. There are armies of people who's sole job is ensuring top notch quality, along with a ton of systems and procedures that are under constant scrutiny. Tons of investment. Painting is done robotically so that should be a correctable issue in manufacturing. I recommend complaining about it to your dealer. P.S. Great production on this video. You're getting really good at this.
I definitely need to get a bigger car to haul my doggos in too. I was thinking a truck, but I didn't consider the AC needs for the doggos until you brought it up.
Way better than Consumer Reports!!!🤣 And far more informative. I've had Chevy and GMC 2500s my whole life. Agree about the paint. GM just sucks at paint. 6.0L engines are pretty good though, and I understand the 5.3 is similar in reliability and punch. Transmissions, "iffy."
Excellent very fair review. I get customers that work at the Arlington Plant visiting me, and they tell me this chip shortage issue continues to haunt the production line options. I wonder if the reason they haven't yet standardized the adaptive cruise in the Mid-levels like yours is because of that.
Adaptive cruise and the seats are 100% a parts shortage issue. They're reserving the goodies for the top trim stuff / highest profit margin products. The seats can hopefully be swapped eventually. Allegedly chip shortages will get some relief next year.
GM is finally offering the 6 piston package as an LPO for the AT4 trim. I can't remember what the code is off the top of my head, but dealers should be able to order the upgrade kit for install...ain't cheap, tho.
Disappointing gas mileage. O&M expenses are a major consideration when I purchase a vehicle. Drive safe Mover. Wish you and the doggies many memorable miles in the new ride.
The AT4 is nice and big and should suit your needs better than the Durango. Its better looking than its Chevy brethren..as far as the QC issues..yeah it happens to alot of companies it seems these days. Its crazy there's no adaptive cruise considering I have it in the Tacoma lol. Anyhow great review
Thanks for reminding me why I no longer buy American cars. Those "shortages" and detail problems somehow aren't a problem with Toyota, for example. I think GM probably gets little motors, etc from China & that's the reason for the "shortages."
I know I read somewhere that US manufacturers may soon have to install (with no option to disable) the stop/start feature in order to comply with updated emission standards.
My 2018 Yukon was just awful. After about a year, a lot of the interior panels rattled. The engine needed cylinder head work at 2 years, sold it shortly after those issues.
That is a super nice truck, I like it a lot more than the Durango. Maybe it’s just me being an old fart, but that’s way too many bells & whistles for me. My wife has a 2018 Terrain & I hate driving it because of all the different things it has. And agree 110% on the auto stop, I HATE it! Unfortunately on the 2018, you can’t turn it off. 16mpg is pretty decent considering the size & weight of the Yukon. My 2014 Sierra with the 5.3 & 6 speed auto gets about the same.
Honestly that’s way too much $$$ for a part shortage build with barely adjustable seats which are uncomfortable at that and no adaptive cruise control as well as medieval mpg and an infotainment screen size from the year 2010… not worth $76k and won’t hold the value one bit. Maybe ok as a lease…
The seats are a later retrofit. I agree on adaptive cruise. MPG is in line with everything else in the category. Infotainment screen - well, you're just wrong on that. Anything bigger would be a distraction, and it's certainly in line with everything else in its class. As for holding value, we'll see. Right now, they're worth more than I paid.
You don't really feel it's a huge difference in the performance between the 5.3 and 6.2 ? I have had a hard time finding a 6.2 the way I want it but plenty of 5.3. I was concerned the 5.3 is not enough power?
Nice car! 04:35 and you being an aviator, 'automation dependency' popped into my head. I do sort of wonder if automotive technology is eroding dead reckoning driving skills if the electronics crap out.
It absolutely is making people lazy and creating a new generation of people who are no longer drivers, but merely appliance users. Especially the “safety” features like traction and stability control, ABS, etc., make people think they can drive much faster or more aggressively than conditions allow, thinking their gizmos will save them. Hence why every winter in the mountains I get passed by speed demons in the snow, only to come across at least a couple who are on their side in a ditch up ahead, because they were stupid. I’ve never once smashed up a car in the snow and I’ve been driving mostly pre-ABS cars my whole life.
6:51 my 2002 Prius is more annoying when it's running and it shouldn't be than when it stops. It's especially frustrating if you're sitting at a light and it decides it has to run to replenish the cold in the A/C evaporator.
What soul has a plasticky modern GMC with tons of cheap electronic components and not even adaptive cruise control? This current Yukon version is at least one generation behind … especially with the tiny infotainment screen. Next generation will be better.
Tiny infotainment screen? Compared to what? Anything bigger would be a TV screen. It's perfectly adequate. As for no soul, it has a V8. Nothing electric will ever compare to an ICE vehicle in that category.
I just purchased one. They said nothing about the fan not being installed. I told them there was not much air coming from the seats. I am wondering if it has a fan.
Why not go with a 2500 and put a grandpa shell on the back? As much as you paid for this. I think they make those now where the back opens up right? Be able to haul the vette around and then some
I've owned 6 Yukons, the last four were Denali's. They destroyed the performance when they switched to the 10-speed transition in 2018....absolutely zero low-end torque. I sold my 2018 Denali last year. The good thing about GMC's is they hold their value better than Chevy Tahoes.
@@CWLemoine Really? I had a 2016 Denali with the 6.2L 8-speed and it had WAY more low-end torque. I felt my 2018 10-speed lost a lot of acceleration. That being said, in the 50-80 MPH range, the 10 speed is nice.
Maybe it's better with the new body style. I never drove the 10 speed in the previous generation. The 8 speed was a terrible transmission and the reason I got rid of my 2017.
So when it comes to vehicles; I am far from normal. I am a auto tech by trade. I see usually when things go wrong and I have to fix it. Sorry C.W. but I am pretty sure your Sheriff SUV don't have Brembo brakes on it. It's too expensive. Law enforcement usually gets a higher level then factory stock but not anything extravagant like Brembo brake systems. They are usually just a upgraded rotor and a two pot caliper. What really does the stopping is the pads. As for your new ride; Looks good and has features that I myself would probably turn off and keep off. I do have two little kids so I do like the ability to keep them either warm in the winter or cool in the summer but I could do without the camera's. I have 3 mirrors and two eye balls. I can't stand start/stop myself. When I worked for the dealer I unfortunately had to make sure it worked when new Chrysler/Dodge/Jeeps came off the truck..it's purpose is supposed to save gas when at long stop lights. All it seems to do is annoy me. That MPG though...better then in past years but not by much. But my daily gets over 25 mpg and about 19 if I put my foot down. As for the cruise control; It's most likely a module and a software update to make it work. You already have all the sensors in place.
The Durango Hellcat is a one trick pony..its fast but otherwise its outwardly its pretty but not really what an SUV needs to do and be. If you want fast get a sports car
For the past 4 decades GM has continually lost market share to overseas competitors year over year. I was hopeful at some point GM would learn that build quality is important to stop them from losing customers, but seems like all these years later GM still is out of touch with what is important to consumers and continues to trail behind other companies on build quality.
I don’t want to hear about parts shortages anymore…. There is another massive underlaying condition causing these manufactures not to perform at its maximum efficient level. Covid-19 has been over for years…. This is getting old real quick

Appreciate the review, my wife and I will be shopping soon for a replacement vehicle for our aging SUV.

Possibly. Super Cruise (Denali Ultimate) is on constraint. You can't even order it.
@@CWLemoine Geez. At least you got the Mag Ride. That option keeps going in and out of Constraint status for the C8.
Isn't the AT4 the off road version? Surprised you didn't mention anything about off road stuff.
That’s a lot of SUV for $76,000. Love the storage.
Adaptive cruise and the seats are 100% a parts shortage issue. They're reserving the goodies for the top trim stuff / highest profit margin products. The seats can hopefully be swapped eventually.
Allegedly chip shortages will get some relief next year.
GM is finally offering the 6 piston package as an LPO for the AT4 trim. I can't remember what the code is off the top of my head, but dealers should be able to order the upgrade kit for install...ain't cheap, tho.
That HUD should minimally give you speed, altitude, and AOA........nice vehicle..
Disappointing gas mileage. O&M expenses are a major consideration when I purchase a vehicle.
Drive safe Mover. Wish you and the doggies many memorable miles in the new ride.
It's a 6,000lb, 8 passenger SUV with a fairly large gas V8 under the hood. You don't buy these for fuel economy.
What, HUD doesn't have RAlt and deathdot?
Enjoy and drive safe
The AT4 is nice and big and should suit your needs better than the Durango. Its better looking than its Chevy brethren..as far as the QC issues..yeah it happens to alot of companies it seems these days. Its crazy there's no adaptive cruise considering I have it in the Tacoma lol. Anyhow great review
No adaptive cruise??! Hm, my 2020 AT4 1500 has adaptive cruise.. that's odd to me.
Man you kind of surprised me when you said the durango was kinda small inside , I was always under the impression the durangos were roomy.
I think Mover needs to add a Jetski to his collection 😁

No adaptive cruise is a NO GO.
Totally agree on braking and adaptive cruise. Just bought a 23' for my family and these were let downs for sure.
What dog blanket was that? Just ordered an AT4 and need to keep our 50lb puppy from getting the back filthy.
My 2018 Yukon was just awful. After about a year, a lot of the interior panels rattled. The engine needed cylinder head work at 2 years, sold it shortly after those issues.

Is this in Lew of that ill faded attempt to buy that diesel truck?
Nah, that turned into the Hellcat Durango last year.
Seats: could be because of the AT4 designation. Off road seats are stiffer.
Can anybody tell me the of the song at the beginning from what artist?
You went from a pilot to a car salesman lol
I’m not selling anything.
I would have figured you for a model s p100d for the catapult effect you’re used to in your $46,000,000 “other ride”

Yukon
I'm still shocked you got it in white vs black or even blue 🤔
What do you mean your seats have no fan? Will they install it later?
They did.
I just purchased one. They said nothing about the fan not being installed. I told them there was not much air coming from the seats. I am wondering if it has a fan.
@@larryg7109 mine specifically said it would be installed later on the window sticker. It was due to the shortage.
Why not go with a 2500 and put a grandpa shell on the back? As much as you paid for this. I think they make those now where the back opens up right? Be able to haul the vette around and then some
I want to keep the dogs air conditioned. I almost did the 2500 thing but this has more interior room.
This is the official state vehicle of South Carolina
Who’s the chick that can be seen on the passenger seat in the drone shots?
I noticed her, too. Must be the lady friend.
I’ll bet it has adaptive cruise and you didn’t turn it on. You have to hold the cruise button down to switch between regular and adaptive cruise.
It does not. Only the High Country and Denalis have it. And even those couldn’t be ordered with it in some cases due to chip shortages
Nancys Cadillac SRX is the same on the brakes. But I drive a Stingray sooo
Not being snarky but, when are you a cop?
@RonSwanson1081 He's a "reserve" deputy, which means he volunteers occasionally for the sheriff's dept., not a full time job.
All you need now is that familiar FedEx logo slapped on that fuselage.
Why FedEx? 🤔
I’m disappointed that it doesn’t automatically toggle between high and low beam
It does.
Way better than Gonky's Toyota Sienna and WOMBAT's lil Mustang.
Good choice Mover ! Now create a 6.9 engine and solve all issues 🇺🇸💪🏼
Does gonky really drive a sienna?
@@Bredddi I'm actually not sure of his soccer dad wheels. He's just a funny dude to rib poke : )
Gonky is da bomb. He reminds me of cougar in the original top gun, except he wouldn’t quit.
Gonky has a minivan and an old Dodge 3/4 ton truck.
Should’ve gotten it in Fed Black
Giggity
You should name the new Yukon SUV after the a10 warthog
Even though I love the looks of GM vehicles, I'd still remain committed to Toyota.
I am surprised you like the 10-speed in the 5.3.
I've owned 6 Yukons, the last four were Denali's. They destroyed the performance when they switched to the 10-speed transition in 2018....absolutely zero low-end torque. I sold my 2018 Denali last year. The good thing about GMC's is they hold their value better than Chevy Tahoes.
I like it better than the 8 speed 6.2L Denali I had. That transmission sucked.
@@CWLemoine Really? I had a 2016 Denali with the 6.2L 8-speed and it had WAY more low-end torque. I felt my 2018 10-speed lost a lot of acceleration. That being said, in the 50-80 MPH range, the 10 speed is nice.
Maybe it's better with the new body style. I never drove the 10 speed in the previous generation. The 8 speed was a terrible transmission and the reason I got rid of my 2017.
So when it comes to vehicles; I am far from normal. I am a auto tech by trade. I see usually when things go wrong and I have to fix it. Sorry C.W. but I am pretty sure your Sheriff SUV don't have Brembo brakes on it. It's too expensive. Law enforcement usually gets a higher level then factory stock but not anything extravagant like Brembo brake systems. They are usually just a upgraded rotor and a two pot caliper. What really does the stopping is the pads. As for your new ride; Looks good and has features that I myself would probably turn off and keep off. I do have two little kids so I do like the ability to keep them either warm in the winter or cool in the summer but I could do without the camera's. I have 3 mirrors and two eye balls. I can't stand start/stop myself. When I worked for the dealer I unfortunately had to make sure it worked when new Chrysler/Dodge/Jeeps came off the truck..it's purpose is supposed to save gas when at long stop lights. All it seems to do is annoy me. That MPG though...better then in past years but not by much. But my daily gets over 25 mpg and about 19 if I put my foot down. As for the cruise control; It's most likely a module and a software update to make it work. You already have all the sensors in place.
Look again. 6 piston brembo in the PPV
@@CWLemoine I stand corrected. Officers in my area don't have That. It's a slightly upgraded version of what comes in the civilian version.
If they have new Tahoes, they’re PPV.
@@CWLemoine they don't. I service them, our department is seriously lacking in everything. A lot of officers left due to the rioting.
The PPV on contract is cheaper than the LT model.
Well then I guess you will have to slap the brembo brake kit on it.
No the Durango Rules but the GMC is cool I guess. TOO much technology for me !
Something new, do another car review
The Durango Hellcat is a one trick pony..its fast but otherwise its outwardly its pretty but not really what an SUV needs to do and be. If you want fast get a sports car
your to light for the seat.
I'd prefer the XL version and 6.2 liter ecotec V-8 engine. GM quality has always been questionable.
The new body style has a ton of room. The 5.3L mated to the 10 speed has plenty of power.
For the past 4 decades GM has continually lost market share to overseas competitors year over year. I was hopeful at some point GM would learn that build quality is important to stop them from losing customers, but seems like all these years later GM still is out of touch with what is important to consumers and continues to trail behind other companies on build quality.
Adequate size for a single person household and two dogs … good thing gas is cheap 😂😂😂😂
3 doggos.
American cars are so far behind the Europeans ☹️
Yes… GM seats suck! I have a 2021 3500 DRW and my ass paid the price on a 10,250 mile trip !
It's a pickup with rear seats. Go German
More room than almost anything German, more towing, and it has an independent rear suspension, so not really a pickup.
Sorry, 6.2 or bust.
Meh. I don't miss it. And it's nice only requiring 87 octane.
I don’t want to hear about parts shortages anymore…. There is another massive underlaying condition causing these manufactures not to perform at its maximum efficient level. Covid-19 has been over for years…. This is getting old real quick
