Jus Cruisin

I have a 2025 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali Ultimate with the 3.0l. I had an issue with mine at 5,000 miles. Engine siezed. It was replaced and trouble-free with the replacement. I'm going to order a 2027 GMC Yukon once the order banks open and it'll be another 3.0l.

I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. By the way this is the "signature... ¬ look down...

It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver. My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

The 2027 Ultimate is my #2 choice,as long as they will offer the painted wheelwell flairs. #1 is the Yukon Ultimate. The new gas engines don't matter to me. I'll go diesel either way.

I'll be buying another 3.0l when I replace my 2025 Sierra. I had an issue (engine siezed) but it was replaced and has been fine ever since. I'm spoiled with the excellent fuel economy to swap to a 6 2l or its replacement.

I see that the existing powertrains are being carried over on the Yukon... I find that odd. I I initially was looking for a "now" buy but there are none within 250 miles with the equipment I want and the 2027's SOP is around the 2nd week of Sept. Couple of months and I move up a model year. The dumb things are priced about like an Escalade but no diesel or towing packages. I want the Yukon to have the trailer camera wiring. I have the GM trailer camera already installed on my trailer.

Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

I'm not going to be a first year engine owner. I'll be buying a new 2027 but it'll be a Yukon 3.0l.

There are plenty being sold. I had a 6.2l 2023 that I sold prior to the actual recall. I would have kept it had the recall come out before I bought the 3.0l 2025. I'm ordering a 2027 Yukon next month with another 3.0l diesel. I'm thrilled with the fuel economy of the diesel. Go to your local dealer service department and talk to the service manager and get his take. If I was sold on a gasser, I'd lean towards the 6 2l rather than being a first year owner of the 6.6l.

The tailgate of pickups is not designed to be water tight. There are seal kits for them but I doubt they work effectively. But, I've not tried them. I always have hard folding tonneau covers and the BakFlip brand has been my favorite. And, for the most part, the bed stays dry. I would invest in some bins that can be closed to better protect sensitive stuff.

I wouldn't do any DIY sealing. I'm thinking they need to "breathe" and need venting to allow them to dry. I've never looked into them but I'd leave it as designed.

A little late to this. I am going to order a 2027 as soon as the order banks open. It'll be a 3.0l again. This time in a Yukon.

Yes.....to overreacting

I'm good with the auto climate control in both the 2023 and the 2025. Both keep me comfortable at 73°year around. My wife keeps the passenger side at 72°. We rarely adjust the temps.

My 3.0l engine failed at 5,403 miles. It just stopped running while accelerating away from a roundabout. No warning, no dash lights. Just quit and I coasted to a stop. I had steering. A message popped up on the screen that read "please restart engine" or something like that. It wouldn't and it was towed to the dealership. They determined it siezed. GM didn't pay for them to tear it down, just immediately approved a new engine. I doubt I'll ever find out what failed. It took 50 days to get the truck back. I have 300 miles on the truck since and it's running just fine. Fingers crossed it was a fluke.

So, I traded my 2023 6.2l before the recall came out for an identical truck except for the engine. The new one has a 3.0l. The 6.2l was trouble free but there was enough issues popping up we decided to swap it out a year early. Fast forward. My 3.0l engine siezed 3 weeks ago and it sits in the dealer service lot waiting for a replacement engine. Just my luck. But, even if it went into a lemon law buyback, I'd get another 3.0l. I don't plan on dumping this one once fixed.

My loaner had that happen (no sound from anything) last week. "Fixed" itself an hour after shutting it off and then restarting. A 2026 Sierra 1500. Hasn't happened since.

So my 3.0l lasted exactly 5,403 miles. Engine siezed. Waiting for a replacement. No warning. Just a "ding" from the dash with "please restart engine" or something like that.

When I lived in Florida most seemed to just use plain water. Up north just need something that doesn't freeze.

Pretty sure he's not going to carry a spare.

Probably not enough. Just a guess.

I have never paid attention to "top tier". I buy gas and diesel from busy stations around me and I've never had fuel issues.

Nice Photoshop

I received a competitive trade value for my 2023 when I got my 2025 a few months ago.
