Fleet Update:  2007 GMC Yukon

One MT staffer had mentioned possible erratic behavior from our 2007 GMC Yukon SLT's tire-pressure-monitoring system, so we checked the logbook for notes. more
Comparison: 2007 GMC Acadia vs 2007 Ford Edge vs 2007 Suzuki XL7
If we were to drop $30-large on a cross-over tomorrow, we'd look long and hard at a GMC Acadia, equipped with the bench middle-row seat. Drop the budget $5 grand, we're all over a front-drive Suzuki XL7. more

Review: 2005 GMC Sierra 1500

Review: 2005 GMC Yukon
