2011 GMC Yukon Denali Owners Manual - Good day our dearest visitors, this is an online blog which share all info that related to the Owners Manual book. We will update this blog daily, so do not worry to come back. Allright here we have the review about 2011 GMC Yukon Denali. Read this before downloading the file.
Though elegant and powerful, the 2011 GMC Yukon Denali seems a bit of overkill. If image is more important than practicality, however, and the Cadillac Escalade is just too ostentatious, then, by all means, give this quasi-posh sport ute a look.
Upping the horsepower a bit over its more common siblings, the conventionally powered 2011 Yukon Denali Base comes equipped with a 6.2-liter Flex Fuel V8 engine and six-speed auto-manual transmission. This monster cooks up 403 hp at 5,700 rpm and 417 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm, with the drivetrain featuring a standard rear locking differential. Variable valve timing does its best to help this hefty ute achieve 14/18 mpg in RWD versions and 13/18 with available full-time AWD. Towing is maxed out at 8,300 pounds in the properly equipped RWD Denali Base and 8,100 pounds in the Base AWD trim level, with its center-mounted mechanical differential. This is some 200 pounds less than the lower trims with the standard 5.3-liter V8. Go figure! Anyhow, the Flex Fuel V8 is recommended to burn premium gasoline, and when using E85 ethanol fuel, mileage figures drop significantly.
Both the 2011 Yukon Denali Base and Denali Hybrid feature a short and long arm front independent suspension, front and rear stabilizer bar, and multi-link rear suspension. All this complements 20-inch alloy wheels on the Base trims, and 22-inch, 8-spoke alloy wheels standard on the Hybrid trims. As befits its royal status, the non-hybrid Denali sports GM’s Autoride active, load-leveling suspension as standard equipment, with the Hybrid boasting the standard Premium Smooth Ride suspension. All trims, meanwhile, roll on standard all-season radial tires.
Gas mileage is mentioned most frequently by owners when discussing shortcomings in the 2011 Yukon Denali Base. All, however, are well aware that this big Jimmy just isn’t built for fuel efficiency. Those frustrating removable third-row seats still come in for their fair share of owner vituperation, while some owners are a tad disappointed with so much hard plastic still dominating an otherwise well-wrought cabin. Finally, a number of owners bemoan the Hybrid’s hefty pricetag, perhaps realizing the difficulty of recouping its initial cost in normal gas savings.
