Review

I bought my Yukon New and have owned it for 10 years now with 165,000 Miles. It was purchased for the four wheel drive. The drive train has performed flawless. Early repairs were leaky heater hose eng. block nipple; Exhaust gaskets RR; tightened the oil filter/cooler engine mounting. The original brakes are undersized and I replaced the front rotors with cryogenic cooled/hardened “Praise” units at 20k along with their stage III pads, rear brakes just the “Praise” shoes. These rotors lasted 120,000 miles. One problem engine not starting after a foggy nite or sitting awhile...The security light is on. OK after setting awhile. Overall the vehicle is stable with lower than Honda maint. costs.

Favorite Features

Radio; AutoTrac 4wd system; torque; commanding view; comfort. Paint longevity.

Suggested Improvements

Better brakes, Improve all lamps integrity. Security system should not be so hard to fix or bypass yet the vehicle can still be stolen.

Review

I bought this vehicle with 77K miles on it, one owner, maintenance record available. Have had to replace the water pump, fuel pump, spark plugs wires cap and rotor all of which are probably a maintenance issue at over 100K miles now. Have had problems with check engine light coming on and code says misfire in 5th cylinder. Have had it worked on at 3 different places and none can figure out the problem for sure...is it a valve or injector problem?? Probably a $700- $1500 fix. Never has left me stranded anywhere. Good overall vehicle with lots of options for its age.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Third row seat, heated rear controls not just AC.

Review

I see a lot of reviews of people saying that is is a poor vechile. Well don't forget that it wa made in 1999! It's not perfect like it was the day you pucharsed it, if you got it brand new like we did. It has been in our famliy since it was bought and has brought a lot of fun to us. What year are we in...2008 so yeah it's 9 years old. Of cousre it's gonna be having problems. It's old not new no more! I love my Yukon and feel very safe and love pushing faster than I should but I don't care because it can handle it. 255 hp is something!

Favorite Features

Everything except the CD player

Suggested Improvements

AC and CD player. and maybe a little more horespower but what the heck I could change that myself!

Review

Bought my Yukon brand new. Love the looks & comfort. Don't like the gas mileage & repair costs. Brakes are poor, replaced head gasket, brake lines, brakes, fuel pump. Have 93K miles; exterior is mint but told the underside is rusting out under me. Rear doors leak and hinges sqweak. This is my 3rd GMC truck and I thought I would never change. Now I'm not so sure.

Favorite Features

Ride & comfort, tows well, great sound system, secure feeling.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, less costly repairs, rear windows should go down all the way.
