I admit I'm a knuckle dragging guy's guy. Most male reviewers are similar and focus an tourqe curves and 1/4 mile times....and I love it. You give such a refreshing perspective on your reviews, and I really appreciate it. Instead of focusing on the details that are used 2% of the time (max tow up a mountain during a snow storm); you highlight the day to day details that are actually important. Those details like how a seat folds up for access or elbow room when loading a kid in a carseat are the things we live with everyday. Thank you so much!! With that being said, I need to go sharpen my chainsaw, fix the tractor, and build a shed. Back to my cave I go.

LOL, she really has a point, though. We do buy bigger cars because we have kids, and idk about you, but my toddler absolutely screams when the sun is in her face while she's in the car.

@@louc3268 for sure! Aftermarket sunshades are crap. All cars meant to carry kids should have built-in ones.

That's what window tinting is for

[@largol33t1]

Well she has a GOOD point. Why the F should a mom spend over $45K for an SUV like this and it doesn't have rear shades?? Even a crappy Honda minivan has those!

[@taylortwinsandpreslie8662]

I love the car mom videos! I'm in the comments waiting for someone from GMC to you explain "why you did that".

[@JennC254]

I have watched just about every tour and this car (despite the no head restraint thing) has to be my dream car.

[@jayonaboat87]

No car seat tilt? Because of car mom.... that has now become the dealbreaker of all dealbreakers as the driving dad.

[@sydneythomas1811]

My gmc Acadia has it but this doesn’t and it bugs me because I need an upgrade for space!

[@mkabs19]

Just remember car seat tilt only works with forward facing car seats using lower anchors (child must be under 35 pounds) or with an infant base with no load leg. These are both short term situations just keep this in mind 😉

[@mrsAllen23]

What is car seat tilt?

[@JennaHasselkus]

I toured a 2023 the other day and it had the car seat tilt on one side.

[@shalondaedwards771]

I use the car seat tilt with my rear facing seat. Also, some boosters have the LATCH system to keep them from being projectiles. So it's useful even for my big littles.

[@ori9inalxabi]

We've already upgraded my mom car but I still love to watch your videos 😄

[@breplusthree7957]

I have 3 of those exact same graco car seats installed in the 3rd row of my 2016 suburban, so I get that Yukon could fit them!

[@darthchoice365]

Had this vehicle, loved it, never needed more space, great power, surprisingly great turning radius, fantastic ride. Double Bob Stroller and a Costco load..no problem. Then I lemon lawed it because of electronic issues whenever Bluetooth was running and you went into a parking garage. Completely shut the screens down. Sucked, but was fun while it lasted.

[@EBIndy]

Hey you got to experience Unprofessional Grade.

[@dominiquebell9812]

I agree I seen the shades on a explorer and now I want to size down just for those 😅

[@taraturner9408]

Super jealous of all that trunk space!!!

[@keytothegate68]

This car looks best on you and you look very comfy in the driver seat. As far as the car, I think it drives similar to school bus and for the back passengers it probably rides like a school bus. You are right about the absence of head rests in the third row. This is a serious omission. When you see that it gives an impression that GM shorted you there. To me that doesn't matter since I would never use the third row but it does create an impression that this was not a well designed product. However,it still doesn't matter since this car cost over 10k so I will not have to experience such problems. I mostly watch your videos to see you banging your oversized water bottle against the unfortunate cup holders. Please continue to do so in the future.

[@melissam4916]

Hey, there’s a way you can get the running boards to stay out or in depending on your preference. On your dash go to settings, then vehicle, then power running boards. Then you can select auto, off, or out.

[@TheKtay106]

@@kevinmaranan2473 how so? Genuinely curious.

[@Sarah.719]

The headrest issue in the 3rd row is a deal breaker for me. I was really excited about getting an XL for our large family until that issue was pointed out. Thank you for bringing it up. Now I'm bummed bc the Yukon seemed like the best option by far, based on space. 😢

[@phatgringo2.0]

My Volvo's from the early 90s had a center rear head restraint.

[@Carfan678]

Jeep wagoneer L /grand wagoneer L are massive and have a head restraint for the middle seat in the 3rd row

[@bradh6185]

Car Mom has got it going on.

[@rogern5368]

10:49 if the third row doesn’t have the anchors how does the car seat get secured other than with the back tether ? I have a grandson that sometimes would need to be in the rear seat in a car seat. I found shoulder center seat belt that has a special release buckle that takes a tool to unlock it. I haven’t found a center rear row lap belt yet. The manual states shoulder and lap belts shouldn’t be used with the anchor belt secured to the seat anchors that come with the car seat itself. You as a mom seem to know the routine very well. I just got my new 23 Yukon XL with second row bucket/ captains chair seats so no option to center the boy on the middle. Thanks

[@MrJared90]

I have a 21 Yukon SLT and LOVE it. I in fact did fit a queen size mattress in the back of mine FYI lol

[@anne-sophiecanhan9396]

hello ! when you said it's possible to put a queen size mattrass, do you say : flat mattrass? we want to rent one to sleep inside for our road trip. For exemple the suburban has not enought space to put even a double bed (49 inch) thanks for your answer :)

[@trishakatzfey7723]

Just curious what car has your top rating for technology?

[@JamesDingle-nb9li]

I have never liked the car mom videos, but it's truly good. I don't have any children, but I would drive the new GMC yukon xl anyway.

[@Rawdawg321]

Would you get this or a mini van for a family of 6? I don’t like the reliability of the gm vehicles so I would just lease and get a new one every 3 years. If the minivan is a better choice I would buy it since they’re more reliable.

[@CaliHotShot]

So me and my wife are torn between this xl and the wagoneer l would love a comparison video or something along those lines. Don’t really see a comparison to other full sizes. Have a family of 5 mainly looking for the bigger cargo, is why we are going with the xl or wagoneer l. Thanks.

[@therenardfamily1897]

If you press that seat fold button one more time the seat will flip up too! You won’t have to pull the handle.

[@christamez734]

No kids for me but we just ended the company lease on a 20 Navigator and I am glad since it had some electrical glitches that also led to some reliability issues. We requested a Telluride SX-P in Jan. but the company we contract with to lease dropped the ball several times so a Denali was our second choice and I found one myself 500 miles away. They deliver it next week and we chose the diesel option. This will be the second Denali the company has leased and I look forward to ditch Ford Motor Company.

[@swissmiss4138]

Looks like you've had it for a few months now- how are you liking it? We're interested in a diesel, too!

[@christamez734]

@@swissmiss4138 not bad. We get about 24mpg average and I drive it pretty fast when just me in SUV. At 5K now and no issues. Interior is less luxurious than prior Navigator we had. My dislikes, are no grab handle in 2nd row. I use it to hang dry cleaning. No auto hold button which I find unacceptable for a 85K vehicle and no signal indicators in mirror?! WTF GMC?

2021 and newer were built on a bigger chassis so they have more space.

[@staceyackerson5197]

I have a 16 XL. I just looked at a 23 XL. The cargo space looked slightly smaller (I don't know if for sure it is) The 3rd row leg room is much better in the 23

I've been fighting the price tag of one of these large SUV's vs the practicality of a MiniVan (Odyssey). Thoughts anyone? I've got a 3 row SUV, just want more space and usability.

[@Sarah.719]

Same.

[@mwichman001]

I have an odyssey. I want a full size SUV so bad but the sliding doors and the space of the van on top of a significant price difference, haven’t left the van life. I still have 3 small kids and the functionality of the van is something i can’t part with just yet. But boy is it tempting. I think it would just depend on how old your kids are and car seat set up! But I’m some places the top of the line trim on a van is still about $30k less than mid trim on these full size SUVs and are more gas friendly

[@ve2166]

@@mwichman001 see, you're feeling me. We've got a little guy who is about to be 2 and a 13 year old. I can get away with a larger SUV, as I have a 3 Row Mid Sized SUV now. Just want more room to stretch out, luggage for road trips etc when we bring the family. The only one I see that has large enough space in back with 3rd row up is Chevy Sub and Ford Expedition XL...I mean that aren't going into the 6 figure price tag. So I always end up going back to the practicality of the mini van.

I would like to see a review too. On paper, it's confusing. The Wagoneer beats the Yukon XL in trunk space by a few cubic feet, but overall cargo room is down by quite a bit. I'm wondering if leg room in the second or third row suffers as a result?

[@wearemonaco3201]

[@emilyloftis9413]

Would you suggest this or expedition max with 4 kids under 4? I have 2 FF and 2 RF while carrying the wonderfold wagon in the trunk at all times? My van is not cutting it. 😂

Benefits of the expedition max are LATCH anchors in the third row, headrests on all seats and car seat tilt.
