Expert Answers about GMC Yukon XL


  • Recommendation for a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag for a 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  • Attaching a cargo carrier on your 2007 GMC Yukon XL is an easy process and combine it with a heavy duty cargo bag you will create tons of room in your vehicle. To start with I recommend the Pro Series 24x60 Cargo Carrier # 63153 which is not only economical, but, also large enough to carry most anything. The picture is of this carrier on a 2013 Yukon XL. I have also attached a short installation video on a similar vehicle. Next, I highly recommend the Extra Large Cargo Bag # 988501 which...

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • If your 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali is 4 wheel drive then you can use # TGMRG25C. These springs will fit in place of the factory bump stops on the vehicle. A spacer in the coil spring should not affect the installation. The Timbren springs begin more firm when a load is applied to them so they will help to eliminate sag at the rear end when towing. I have linked the instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you. I have also included a link to an FAQ article on Timbren systems...

  • Recommended Components To Flat Tow 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500
  • I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to flat tow your 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 behind your motorhome. Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3154-1 which has removeable arms that can be taken off when you are done flat towing to help the kit blend in with the front of your vehicle better. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-576 which has...

  • Does Edge Programmer # EP86040 Fit 2007 GMC Yukon XL with 6.0 that is Towing
  • The Edge Programmer part # EP86040 would be a great option for your 2007 GMC Yukon XL with a 6.0 liter. It wouldn't interfere with your "tow mode" either. It basically would just give you a bit more power which would help you when towing.

  • Can Timbren Suspension Enhancement Fit 2003 GMC Yukon XL with Factory Air Ride
  • The Timbren Jounce Springs # TGMRG25C are a fit for the 2003 GMC Yukon 1500 XL with Air Ride as long as it is the 4-wheel-drive version. These bolt on without drilling in place of the factory bump-stops. They work independently and offer progressive resistance as the load on them increases. I linked an install video for you. If you have the 2-wheel-drive version then instead you'll use part # TGMRYS4.

  • Recommendation on Carrying 4 Bikes on a 2014 GMC Yukon XL
  • I might have a solution for you. Unfortunately on your vehicle, 60 inch long crossbars are the largest cross bars that are confirmed to fit on the roof of your 2014 GMC Yukon XL. Plus carrying four bikes, and four bike racks on your roof might be pushing the normal weight capacity of a roof rack and the roof of your vehicle. If you have a receiver hitch mounted on you SUV and you have access to the hitch, not towing a trailer, then I recommend the Thule Swing 4 Bike Rack, # TH9027XT....

  • Suspensions Enhancement for 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali With Magnetic Ride Control
  • The Air Lift 1000 # AL60769 does not fit vehicles with factory installed auto-leveling. This means you cannot use them on your 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali. However, you can use the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40. The SumoSprings will provide you with that extra support and stability you're looking for. They will help keep you level, reduce body roll, and won't have a negative impact on your ride quality. They are also maintenance free so you don't have to worry about...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Yukon XL SLT 5.3 Towing an 8000 lb Camper
  • When it comes to transmission coolers, I recommend choosing the largest transmission cooler that will fit into the available space. The ideal place to install a transmission cooler is directly behind the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. I would recommend measuring the available space so you know what size cooler to look at. For your 2009 GMC Yukon XL SLT with the 5.3 liter engine, I would recommend using the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13504. This is a class IV cooler...

  • Recommended Wheels And Tires For Pop-Up Camper With GVWR Of 3770lbs
  • Since the highest load rating for a ST185/80D13 tire is 1710lbs that means with two tires you are only at 3420lbs which is 350lbs under the GVWR of your camper. I recommend replacing the wheels and tires with the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM32161 as long as you have enough clearance to fit them. The # AM32161 is 8.1" wide and 26.3" tall compared to your current tires which are 7" wide and 24.1" tall. As long as you have...

  • How to Carry a 98-LB Kayak on a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • For a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali, Yakima makes a great roof rack system. I recommend the HD bars, part # Y01156. They are heavy-duty bars capable of handling your kayak. To mount them to your tracks, you will need the SkyLine Towers, part # Y53TR, along with the HD Bar SL Adapter, part # Y03541, and the Landing Pad 20, part # Y00246. The total system can handle 165 pounds, but check your owner's manual to ensure your roof can handle that much. Since your kayak is so long, using the Malone...

  • Recommended 5 Bike Rack For 2016 GMC Yukon XL
  • I recommend the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # C18065. With a maximum weight capacity of 45lbs per bike, it will have no problem carrying your 5 bikes. This rack has a tilting mechanism that allows access to your vehicle's trunk. It can also be folded up to save space when not in use. This rack is usually ideal for various sizes, including adult and children's bikes; however, sometimes you will need an adapter bar for unique frame designs. I would look into the Swagman...

  • Clazzio Seat Covers that Fit 2008 GMC Yukon XL
  • The 2008 Chevy Tahoe Denali had different enough seats from a Silverado that a cover from one would not fit the other. Instead you'd want the part # AL-EAGMB7531TTT for a set of beige covers that fit the Yukon. Or for black # AL-EAGMB7531BK. To see all the fits check out the link below.

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Controller Recommendation for a 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • Based on the excellent information you have given me, I estimate about 8,500 to 9,000 pounds total. What I want to focus on is all of the weight that will be behind the rear axle of the 2005 GMC Yukon Denali. So we can subtract 230 pounds for you, a 120 pound wife, 260 pounds of kids and dogs. The gear, water, gas I assume will be in the cargo area of the Yukon or on the trailer so that is still factored in. That puts the total behind the rear axle at about 8,000 pounds. Trailer tongue...

  • RCH Legs vs Backbone Legs for Pioneer Platform Roof Rack on 2017 GMC Yukon XL
  • Having three sets of mounting points on the flush side rails on your roof is normal. You would still only need two legs. Getting three would not increase your weight capacity on your pioneer platform. If anything, three legs would be used if you're mounting three crossbars to increase the amount of surface you can put stuff on. In that case, just get a platform so that you can use ALL the space. Now, let's compare the RCH Legs # RRRCH4 with the Backbone Mounting System # RR68AB that comes...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2015 GMC Yukon XL
  • While we don't have any confirmed towing mirror fits yet for the 2015 GMC Yukon XL, I can tell you that if your mirrors look like the ones in the picture I attached to the right the part # LVT-1800 should work well for you. Another option I would recommend is the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2015 GMC Yukon XL
  • We do have some mirror choices that will work with your 2015 Yukon XL. The 2015 Yukon XL is the first model year of the 12th generation of that vehicle, so the mirrors have changed enough that the # LVT-1800 you referenced won't fit. I've checked with Cipa, Longview and K-Source, and none of them offer a custom slide or snap-on extended towing mirror for the 2015 Yukon XL. You'd need to use a universal mirror like the K-Source Clip-On mirror, part # KS3891. The mirror uses ratcheting...

  • What Happens When Third Row of Seats is Folded Up 2017 GMC Yukon XL with Weathertech Cargo Mat
  • If you were to use the Weathertech Cargo Liner part # WT43677 that fits your 2017 GMC Yukon XL and covers up the third row seats when used you'd basically need to partially roll up the front of the mat so that the seats can come up like they need to. Or you could remove the mat altogether. We also have a similar mat with # WT43678 that fits up to back of third row if you think you'd have the third row of seats up a lot.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2006 GMC Yukon Pulling a 6000 lb Trailer
  • I would recommend using a weight distribution system like a Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW, part # RP66087, for your 2006 GMC Yukon Denali. This system should help your towing set up ride more level as well as improve the handling and braking of your setup. You could try using a Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TGMRYS4, but I would recommend trying a weight distribution system first, because it will get more...

  • Recommended White RV Non-Powered Roof Vent
  • I may have an option for you, but there I was unable to find any information on a 22.5" x 22.5" RV roof vent. The closest option we have is to install a standard RV roof vent like the Ventline E-Z Lift Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent # V3092-601-00 which is a non-powered roof vent, and the install the Camco Aero-Flo RV Roof Vent Cover w/ Swing Open Lid - White # CAM40421. The # CAM40421 will install to the frame of the roof vent and measures 22-1/2" x 20" and is the closest size we have to...
