2004 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Bought it as a lease return with 36K. 5.3L, AWD, 17" wheels. Wanted a Denali, but not the mileage. Surprisingly tight turning radius! Loaded with moonroof, Bose,DVD,etc. No surprises. Very comfortable, enough space for family, very good power. Suits me perfectly! Gets slightly better MPG than my '98 Blazer with V6. 100 more miles per tank.
Favorite Features
295HP, AWD & firm (not harsh) ride. I love sound system & the DVD keeps our daughter entertained. Lots and lots of bells & whistles.
Suggested Improvements
I hate the owners manual. For almost $50k GM should write one for every vehile as equipped! Manual talks about how to turn on traction control/stabilitrac, which comes on automatically with ignition. I wanted to turn it off to have fun in the snow. I found out how by chance.
Was not "Professionial Grade"

2004 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This was our third and last Yukon. This one was a loaded SLT with a 49K price tag. Wifes car, never off the pavement. At 42K miles the transfer case failed. Was at dealer for 3 weeks. At 51K miles, transfer case noise,same problem,another new transfer case. Squeeks and rattles at 32K miles. Electricial issues since the first month. Vehicle loses all preset data. Tire air sensers fail constantly. I will not buy another one. Pathetic fuel economy, but will pull a house.
Favorite Features
Design and tow ability. Comfortable.
Suggested Improvements
A better warranty. Better customer support. 2WD-4WD option. There is no excuse for a $50K SUV to have these issues. Never Again...

2004 GMC Yukon Denali AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
The spare tire is a 16" tire. At 25,300 mile I had tire damage, drove 200 miles on spare with 17" regular tires. Had to repace all 4 tires due to being a AWD and 25M miles on 35M mile tires. Repaced spare with correct size. Contacted GM and received a reply of nothing. Out $875.00 for tires at 25M miles. How cheap will GM go on a $50,000 car? Please check this problem if you buy a GM AWD. They will not stand behind any mechanical problem that may occur. They could at least put the correct spare tire on these expensive cars.
Favorite Features
The car is a pleasure to drive and I hope safe.
Suggested Improvements
The least thing, please put the correct spare tire on these cars and advise the purchaser of the possible problem and don't be so cheap. $50,000 is a fair amount of money to be this cheap.

2004 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
A nice one to look at, but the squeaks and rattles are horrible. My transfer case bearings went bad at 40k miles, coolant leaks were due to bad factory hose clamps,The bearing issue is a known problem that should be recalled. Poor build quality. Dealer did not have bearing bearing is stock. Pathetic for a $53K Vehicle. My next will be a Toyota. If youare considering a Yukon, buy an extended warranty!
Favorite Features
Style and room.
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel economy. 14MPG is a joke. A better factory warranty. Better dealer support.

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!

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

2004 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
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

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

Review
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 SLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
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.
