passed on that 2010 Yukon XL. loved the packaging, color, everything really. but supposedly the lien was off and they had the release but they never went to DMV to get it officially cleared. didn't want to deal with that hassle, especially with trying to transfer the title to a different state. plus still need to sell my car and no interest so far (strange since subaru country and season upcoming)

i do think i need to be looking for a Yukon XL SLT though instead of Suburban LT. the packaging is a little more what i want.

Turn signal mirrors
Auto Dimming mirrors
backup camera (in the mirror)
power liftgate not a necessity but nice to have (we love it on the van)
heated and memory seats

do they all have "courtesy flash" or one touch turn signals or is that just a Yukon thing? this one had it and I like that too. don't remember it on the Burb but maybe i never tried it. it was an accident today when i noticed it.

With the suburban LT there's 3 different levels of LT from 1 through 3 so you can get a pretty stripped LT (1LT) or one that is pretty loaded up (3LT) that is very close to the level of an LTZ. So don't just look at it being an LT before you dismiss it. Look to see what level it is. I don't know if GMC has the same levels with its SLT or not.

i thought the higher levels of LT went away in the later years, but maybe that is after the years I am currently looking at.
i suppose there is no spreadsheet or list anywhere of all the options vs trim levels year by year, because that would be great

autoblog has a comparison tool for trims. it looks like anything other than 1LT was not offered after 2009 model

Well, ok :waytogo: Good info to know as you continue to search and information learned for others going forward :) I wasn't sure when that silliness began and ended.

3/4 is definitely clean and the price is right!!

That 1/2 ton looks clean but that fender chrome has got to go lol

I agree on the chrome!

If I got something like those I could keep my Subaru too:)

Of course I have researching 09+ so kinda need to start over, but thinking 04-06 are the best years.

Narrows it down to 05-06. If I got the nnbs I would want 09 for the 6l80 for sure. I could handle the 4l60 in the nbs .

Have you done the corvette servo on yours? You have 07 iirc?
