2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

The Yukon XL Denali is over priced. During the first year of ownership, it was in for warranty items more than 5 times. Over the past year, fifth year of ownership and 70,000 miles later, I have spent over $2,500 on maintenance. I just spent over $900 on a faulty abs module today. You would think that if you paid over $50,000 for a vehicle that you would not have such issues at 5 years 70K.

Beware of front differential bearings

After a defect plagued experience with a new 1996 Suburban, I was pleased with the performance/reliability of the 2001 Yukon XL Denali I traded-in for, until hitting 60,000 miles and having the front differential bearings "come apart", according to the dealer; as if that were something I should've expected after 60,000 miles! If you are foolish enough to buy a big GMC SUV make sure you trade it in before warranty expires!

The Yukon XL is a delight, both in town and on the highway. Much to our surprise, it is more maneuverable than our Lincoln Town Car. Outward visibility is also excellent. Great road height and stability in cross wind situations gives us heightened confidence in bad weather situations. The Yukon will be in the family fleet for many years.

Even though i can't get over the bad transmission problems i have had in the past,i love my truck. This is the best car i have ever bought!!! It is the best looking suv on the road. It is so smooth over bumps. The interior is well laid out and functional except i need more room for my cd's. The seats are comfy and supportive!!!! The designers need to use better plastic however! I hate my cargo doors because they block my view when i am trying to get over into the next lane. Build Quality ZIP!!!! I have had more problems with this truck than anything i have ever driven. If GMC keeps up i will have to get and Expedition! The dealer is the best in New Bern.

My 2001 GMC Yukon XL is, in a word, FANTASTIC!!! It does everything I ask of it, from smoothly cruising down the freeway at speed to climbing the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountains off road. Dry, wet, muddy, snowy roads are all handled with ease. It holds seven passengers and their baggage VERY comfortably, or those 4 X 8 sheets of plywood I frequently need to load into it. And it rides and handles under any load supremely. Its comfort and versatility are beyond compare. OK, so the gas mileage is what it is, I didn't buy a Geo Metro, so I'm not expecting 60 miles per gallon. the bottom line: I'm extremely happy with my Yukon XL.
