I am looking to purchase a 2007 Yukon (like the styling better than the Tahoe) and have some questions. First of all I am looking at the standard length Yukon with the 5.3.
I currently own a 2001 Ford SuperCrew 4x4 that I am not getting rid of and love. It just recently hit 111,000 miles and still running well even with the abusive offroading and horrible freeway traffic in San Diego.
I went and checked out the Ford Expedition and although not bad it just did not seem to have the quality of the Yukon, the interior felt cheap and the engine was less powerful with worse EPA ratings.
I test drove a 2007 Yukon and it felt very solid and the interior is quite nice, it did have to be pushed a bit to get up a steep hill but I figure with 3.73 instead of the 3.43 it would handle that nicer.
- What gas mileage is everyone seeing with the new 5.3 with the "Active Fuel Management"? I will be driving about 80% freeway miles.
- How does everyone like the NAV system and why is the one that plays DVDs and the one that does not the same price?
- Has anyone put on an K&N filter or a cat-back exhaust and if so do you "feel" more power and do you see any better mileage?
- Does anyone know what the gas mileage difference between the 3.73 and 3.43 gears is? Is there much power difference?
I love the forums, I did months of post and reading on forums before I purchased my Ford many years ago and I figure I would do the same this time.
