I currently have a '95 chevy blazer and it's just too small. I have two children (and all the strollers, playards, etc..) they come with. I'm opting for the 3rd row seating. Is this truck worth the money? Does it hold it's value? I plan to buy the car... and have it for some time. Main concern is the guts. Does the trani/engine hold up well? Any suggestions on the add-on's?

the 07 Yukon is a nice SUV. i work at a gm dealership and can tell you the engine and trans. won't give you any problems. with regular oil changes the engine should last well over 200k miles with no trouble. they do now have active fuel management to help with gas mileage. i have personally driven one for a week and got about 22mpg on a 2wd. gmc made alot of changes and they seem to work well together.

I believe the Yukon to be a great SUV. More room than your "95" Blazer. The engines and drive trains are excellent in the new GM autos. I just bought an 2006 Avalanche and truly do enjoy it. I'm getting 19 MPG around town. My grand-daughter's car seat fits easily in the rear seat. Oh, I also worked at GM for 30 years at the truck factory in Arlington, Texas. We are the tops in quality and workmanship.

Have you seen the gas prices lately???? Madness!!! Think outside the BOX (SUV) and go buy a brick!! Thats what we call our Volvo wagon... we get 25 MPG and we drive one of the safest cars on the road. Oh and yes we have two kids, strollers etc. You can even get that 3rd row setaing... and speaking of the guts ours runs great (we have 2). One is a little sick right now (117k) but the other runs like new (189k). Super reliable and SAFE!!!!!

My father in law just bought one and its OK for a Chevy , (GMC) same.but the back seat for a full sized person let me say they missed a step there, made for small people only, five full sized adults will fit OK in the front, the back you will have complaints its to small and no leg room, other wise top heavy and they do flip all the time here where i live but other than that its OK

I'm in the same situation, I need the 3rd row seat too. We test drove one and we only went about 10 miles and you could litterally see the gas gadge needle drop, but they are better on gas than a ford expidition. Otherwise if you don't mind paying alot for gas than I would say go for it! They are gerat trucks! And better than a minni van!

This is a good vehicle , top of the line for GM- but to be sure go to JD Powers, look until you find the spot to check reliabilty- I think Edmonds has a site like that also.

the 2007 Yukon is great if you have a big family, or haul alot but on the fuel mileage side you could pick something better
