2003 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I bought my Yukon in 2004. It is now Jan 2008. I bought it as a primary vehicle. There are many things I like about it. 1) That third row seat is awesome. I can drive 6 people very comfortably. 2) It has great acceleration. One obviously cannot compare it to a two seater sports car but for its size, it is very quick... its a truck! 3) Take out the rear seats and my band can get a drum set, two big PA speakers, 2 half stacks, a bass rig, and amps and guitars and still have the passenger seat open for the girl! 4) One word to describe it is practical. I recently bought a lifted Ford F350 4X4 4 door with all the bells and whistles. Was gonna sell the Yukon. I will be selling the Ford.
Favorite Features
I like how I haven't had to get new tires yet. People are comfortable in it. Body style still looks nice after 5 years. Smooth driving... feel like I'm in a Caddy.
Suggested Improvements
Little wiggle in the steering, but I took it to dealer and they knew what it was and fixed it for free.

2003 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is the best riding vehicle I have ever owned. It is smooth, and the engine has lots of power. It comes with nice features and a lot of versatility. I really enjoy it. Like many folks, sometimes I wish the mileage was better, but I didn't buy it for the mileage. Nobody buys SUV's for the mileage! Sometimes people seem to forget that point.
Favorite Features
Heated seats, and the good sound system.
Suggested Improvements
Make OnStar more affordable. Maybe a user fee structure would be good.

2003 GMC Yukon Denali AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
My wife was used to driving cars...until I got her into a GMC Denali. Now I cannot get her out of this vehicle! All of the features and benefits. I have sunroof and captains chairs as options. Everything else is standard! No mechanical/warranty problems in the previous 3 I have owned.
Favorite Features
Multi-disc CD changer, Sunroof, powerful 6.0 Liter engine and captains chairs allowing the kids easy acess to the rear seat during car pools.
Suggested Improvements
None that I can think of!

Review
I am very pleased with the towing capacity of my Denali. I am displeased with the interior, it seems cheap. I am also displeased with the dealerships not offering loaner cars when your 50k vehicle is in the shop. We have had a noise in the steering wheel every time you turn left. The thing is almost a year old and the problem is still not corrected. The trim on the dash is starting to flake off. But other than that we have been very happy with it. We will be trading it in in Jan. 05, We will not be getting another one. Looking at the Lexus, Escalde, and Navigator.
Favorite Features
Power, Heated front and rear seats,
Suggested Improvements
The rear seats need to fold into floor like the Navigator.

Review
This SUV has exceeded expectations. It handles very well (yes, we had another makers SUV before), has been totally reliable. The mileage meets or slightly exceeds what GM said to expect. Just an all around pleasure to drive. Now we need to find the free time to enjoy more road trips.
Favorite Features
Memory seating, XM radio, zoned AC.
Suggested Improvements
Not much, maybe a memory seat on the passenger side.

Review
Bought the truck new in Feb 2003. Loved it for the first 500 miles, then it started falling apart, Everything has been repaired but it took numerous.. did I say numerious, I meant countless trips to the service dept. From 500 - 25000 nothing but service. From 25000 - Now. much better. Very nice look, sweet! Like it enought not to part with it yet, would't buy another one.
Favorite Features
Heated 2nd Row Captain Chairs, Turn Signals in mirrors, power folding mirrors. No blindspots. 6.0 V8
Suggested Improvements
51K should have more standard features, one touch power up windows, 3rd Row nice, but bulky if left up, not used.

2003 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Been in the shop 7 times in a year. Awful vehicle. Awful quality. Problems since day one. Very disappointing. This vehicle is a complete hunk of junk. Front end problems. Transmission problems. Steering problems. Interior plastic is popping off. Seat covers are coming off and coming apart. Paint is chipping off of all knobs.
Favorite Features
Smooth ride...sometimes...even with all the knocks and noises.
Suggested Improvements
No confidence at all in the safety or quality of this vehicle. It has only 20k miles on it, I would hate to see what its condition will be for whoever owns it at 60k...it certainly won't be me!

Review
Having owned a variety of vehicles and makes (Jeep, Ford, Volvo, Olds, Isuzu, Porsche, VW - and driven most others) I've been fortunate never to run across a lemon but could always easily produce a "wish" list of what could have been better. This Yukon is near perfection - very comfortable, powerful, and looks great! I can't wait for my next one!
Favorite Features
XM radio and BOSE sound system, awesome towing power, seats, great looks, lots of room, big but private, did I mention the sound system :)
Suggested Improvements
Fold down 3rd row seats instead of the roll-outs would be easier. Expedition's Powerfold beats the Yukon on this one point.
