Solid truck

I bought this truck with 75,000 miles and it now has nearly 175,000. I love this truck. Comfortable, big as an aircraft hangar inside. I have towed many antique cars up and down mountains and the old GM 350ci engine can't be beat. Very little pickup - sometimes need to stand on the accelerator. But I have beat the crap out of that engine and it doesn't even burn oil. Surprisingly, the tranny is still OK after all those miles and all that towing. Did have significant A/C rebuild at 120k, but that's all the major stuff. Great truck!

Have had this Yukon for 235,000 miles. I recently used it to pull a small house, thing did it slow but effortlessly. Still a beast to this day!

The GMC was wonderful before it hit 100000 miles. However, once the Yukon reached 100,000 miles the trouble started. I'll probably trade in the coming months.
From California to Uruguay, (South America)

As a retired Contractor and "Expat" moving to Uruguay, (2013) I could bring any car or truck I wanted. So, I decided to bring my loyal and strong "GMC SLT 4wd Yukon", to South America. It was meant to be, the last car in y life. Why did I choose this loyal and impressive work horse overseas? Well... I spent many years doing home renovations all over California and all over the USA, carrying tools and workers and even some big tools trailers sometimes. Always counting in this green Truck to go from home to work, to suppliers, back and forth for many years. (including many camping and field trips) After the arrival in South America, I had done a complete refurbish and tuning of the Engine, Brakes, Generator, etc. by the best GMC mechanic in Uruguay and now, with almost 200.000 miles in the odometer, still running and purring like a dream !! Every control, lights and features in this comfortable and spacious space ship, it works just fine; from the compass in the rear view mirror, to the Back door window washer... I did change the driver's seat door handle, by my self and it was easy. Factory paint still on and so are the seat adjustments, dashboard controls and everything else. This is a classic old truck, (26 y/o), that I wouldn't trade for a brand new "Tesla" truck... This trucks were made to last 1,000,000 miles !!! Regards to all from Ciudad de la Costa; Uruguay; South America. [non-permissible content removed]

I bought my yukon with 50,000 miles. It has a diesel engine. I now have 150,000 + miles, with exception of about $3000 in up keep (seals, idler arms, etc...) I have not had many problems.
