Questions About 2011 GMC Yukon XL 1500’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a GMC? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 Yukon XL 1500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
