Default Upset with the new yukon xl...

We rented one this weekend and put 8 college students. I HATE THE POWER WINDOW SWITCHES. We would fall asleep and hit the window switch and instant 40 degree wake up call. The back seat are not confy, front seats are great and so is the seat heater.

Power??? horrid, stopping horrid...

I can't believe the difference between my grandfather 2002 5.3 and a new 2007 5.3. We had to pop the hood to see if it had a 4.8

What I find so upsetting is how badly it sat 8 people for 15min comutes now we put 16 people in it so it has the room.

Ohh TeePee'd YUKON

Did that have the new LS4 5.3L?

the back seats suck in my 01 hoe too. they look nice enough till you sit in them for more than 20 minutes.

did you ever try beating on it without an extra 1500lbs of pasengers inside?

Couldn't get it to brake traction on cement in a puddle of water, empty. Ohh it would brake stall 2000rpm rilly good but smelt like tranny fluid for about 15 min after. Brake stalled quit a few times. They drive so much nicer in seatle~lets us merge without running them over.

Sad part is the tires still had tread... I should comment that it had a good ride and didn't burn to much gas at 14mpg racing nascar style.

Those back back seats have that little lip right where you want to put your heels right, and can't put your feet under the 2nd row?

Well the way you flop the second row back down after getting in, you would be luck to keep your toes. I have big feed so I couldn't put my feet down to check either...
