2004 GMC Yukon Denali AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

All our friends call it the "bus". When we all want to go out together, they call us. We have hauled a lot of stuff in it while remodelling our house. The water pump was replaced under warrany, but, no other problems. Gets 15 mpg no matter where or how you drive it, but 4 people and lots of luggage ride in comfort.

Favorite Features

Power, ride, hauling capacity

Suggested Improvements

Looks like the 2007 has it all!

Excellent SUV

Review

I purchased this vehicle exactly 2 years ago. My previous vehicle was an Isuzu trooper. I can't began to tell how much difference a powerful & reliable vehicle can make. Other than a few minor issues, this is an excellent vehicle. I considered the new '07 Denali but it looks too much like a Ford Explorer.

Favorite Features

Body style, powerful, yet quck engine, sound system

Suggested Improvements

Light in the glovebox, an inside door handle for the rear lift gate,

Review

I am glad I bought this Yukon and that we got every option we wanted on it. I expect 250,000 to 500,000 miles out of this Yukon.Solid and comfortable ride. Fuel usage is O.K.. But this vehicle was not bought for fuel economy any way.

Favorite Features

Comfort and ergonomics

Suggested Improvements

Quad buckets in the SLE model with cloth seats

Review

It is the greatest truck I have had. I had a 1995 Chevy Tahoe, I would never buy another one, although the gas is not the greatest, the interior is great and the truck is quick considering it weighs just over 5,000 lbs. All in All I love my 2004 Denali, and would never trade it for anything, except maybe a new Denali.

Favorite Features

Bose 8 speaker Sound System, power Sunroof, Second Row captin chairs, mini menu computer bulit into steering wheel, navigation system and DVD system

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, I am only getting about 13MPG in the city and 18 MPG on a highway, which is not the best other than that leave it alone dont change anything.

This vehicle is the best SUV by far I've ever owned. It looks great, and performs excellent. We use it to tow our boat, it pulls our boat with ease. It is soooo comfortable to drive.

2004 GMC Yukon 4 Dr STD 4WD SUV

Review

I bought my 04 Yukon brand new in 10/04 and so far it has been the best SUV we have owned. The third row seat access could be better (2nd row seat should fold all the way down rather than stepping on the back of it). It drives great in the snow and ice, so far I have only used the 4WD once this Winter (Jan 06). This SUV is a beast, I only wish it wouldn't burn so much gas and what ever happened to .99 cents per gal, $60 for a full tank and only 310 miles OUCH! I don't drive it too much, time for engine improvement. Overall is great vehile and very dependable and roomy. Kids and mom love it.

Favorite Features

Room, the way it handles in the snow

Suggested Improvements

Access to 3rd row seats could used some work, especially if you have grown ups crawling back there. 2nd row seat should fold all the way down for easier access to 3rd row. For the money one spends, the interior trim should include more (digital temp controls and better radio).

Great Fun to Drive Total Enjoyment

Review

I have driven sports cars and sedans and this has to be one of the best built and best riding vehicles I have driven. The heated leather seats have been great during the cold winter mornings. The Bose audio system is pretty nice as well. The engine is strong and the vehicle has great towing ability and I am getting about 18mpg on the highway with the 5.3L V8

Favorite Features

It has everything on it one can imagine or order. The only thing I didn't get on it was the rear video system. With only me and my wife we didn't need that. I mainly got it for its towing capability. I have a couple of motorcycles and needed the towing ability.

Very fun to drive! Best SUV that I have ever purchased. Great turning radius, sleek design, very comfortable. Only downfall is the gas mileage, but that's to be expected on an XL SUV.

The driver's seat is very comfortable

Yukon XL

Review

We got this SUV in July 2004 after 1 test drive. It ran so smooth and quiet, and was so comfortable, we had to have it. Our last SUV was an Expedition, and it was noisy and the doors closed like a cheap truck. The Yukon doors close, and it's quiet like a Caddy! The handling is superb, and the power for passing and hauling is excellent!

Favorite Features

I love the heated seats and the fold back mirrors. The XM stereo is great.

Suggested Improvements

A powerful hybrid engine would be great. Rear deck seats that all fold down flat would increase hauling convenience

Review

I'm a big & tall guy. Most vehicles today just don't have enought head, leg, and hip room. The worst feature on most cars today is the center console - it cuts into leg room. The Yukon with the split-bench front-seat is extremely comfortable for a guy like me. The ride and handling are great. Good acceleration and braking. I've got a 2WD base model with the standard engine, and I get very respectable mileage for such a big vehicle: 15-16 around town and 20- 21 on the highway. I got mine without running boards, which is good for me so I don't rub my pants on dirt when I get in, but shorter folks like my mom have a hard time climbing up into the Yukon without the step assist.

Favorite Features

I love the roominess and the high ride visibility. The steering controls combined with the monitoring system are excellent. Lots of storage space. It's neat how the 2nd row head rests flip out of the way automatically when lowering the seat, rather than having to remove them.

Suggested Improvements

A cleaner, more modern interior dash design. Standard side-air bags. Smoother ride over large bumps.
