Reviews Summary

With options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate.

Reviews Summary

Honda builds the 2017 Pilot for people who are exactly like me. I’m a parent. I’ve got four kids, two still living in the house, which is located in the suburbs of a major city. I’ve got places to go, people to shuttle, stuff to carry, and a Honey Do list a mile long. Does the 2017 Honda Pilot make my life easier? Not as well as other vehicles might.
