Purchased it from 2nd owner, young woman, was local dealer offlease truck. 87K. Logged over 46K since. Mild off-road use, super comfortable on long trips. Decent gas mileage considering its size, power, and era it was made (gas was cheap). I like the "old" platform better than the new one. This is one of the last of the simple truck models, good old reliable 350. It doesn't tick, knock, burns a little oil but that is normal for a GM 350 this old. Always keep the maintenance up. Only mechanical issue was worn out fuel sending unit, cost $370 to replace w/new one. Door hinge pins. Great truck, can put lots of people or stuff in it, go anywere in any type of wthr.

This vehicle has been phenomenal!! I purchased new in 1996 and have essentially only needed gas, oil, tires, batteries & brakes for the majority of the time it has been in service. At about 325k, had to rebuild the tranny after nearly 20 years of pulling a boat, snowmobiles and a heavy trailer hauling cords of wood. A couple of issues that did need attention: rear axel seals, CD player, fuel pump, heater control and blower fan; all nickel/dime repairs. The only draw back is the fuel economy @ 22 MPH highway and 16 city. Otherwise I would drive this vehicle to 1M miles or more.

Over all this has been the best truck i have ever owned. It has major potential to be anything that you want it to be. Great porformance and great towing. Very easy to see and handles like a car. I cant resist to upgrade and soup up the engine. Overall it is a truck with major potential. My yukon has 165,000 miles on it and still no problems. Sounds great with 40 series flowmasters.

Purchased the Yukon new between X-Mas & New Year '94. Best vehicle we've ever owned. While the gas mileage isn't great at 15 MPG the maintenance has been nil. I track cost per mile on maintenance and repair and this is, by far, the best rig we'ver ever owned. As an example, until 80K miles our repair cost totaled $140.00 (an electrical switch). Had a choice of a company car, any American made vehicle, I chose another Yukon. Americans can build great vehicles and this is one.

Prior to my possesion, the trans. just basically collapsed. I had the entire trans. replaced & i haven't had any trouble with it since. The space is above and beyond. Recently I went to go pick up a Double-size mattress. I wasn't quite sure if I would fit, but I took the risk, and sure enough, both the box springs and mattress fit perfectly!
