I purchased this vehicle new. It has been extremely reliable and is very sound mechanically. The truck has 129,000 miles currently and has not given a minute of trouble. I highly recommend these vehicles for anyone needing a four wheel drive and for anyone needing to haul or move things. We have used this vehicle to move our daughter back and forth to college for four years and into and out of her condo. I cannot say enough good about my Yukon. I love it!!

I bought this truck at 99000 miles on it. The dealership was ready to wholesale it. I needed an truck for my business so I bought it. It just turned 200,000 miles and besides the regular maintence (brakes, tires, battery, Alternator) This is the best trucj I ever had. It rides great the leather seats are comfortable, (although they are cracking) It keeps its good looks and performs just great. If I ever have to get rid of it, i'm buying another GMC Yukon or Suburban. I ope GMC keeps the quality as good as this.

I may keep it for 10 years and spend no more than 2-4K$ and be very happy at that.
GMC or Chevy, the '90s R last of the old school !!

IMHO these 1500 & 2500 series are killer trucks disguised as SUV's. Cheaper to register & insure than trucks, comfortable, got balls, reliable, good interiors , controls etc. My '97 Yuke w/234K on it ran great until a deer hit and got pushed across the road into trees & rocks. Busted up as it was, I kept it on the road another year & half until insp. ran out. That beast saved my life. Ran good with minimal maint. Got lucky & found a '99 long wheel base Sub. w/223K from private owner w/good documentation. Has all the goodies, 3.73 Posi, HD susp.,towing pckge. HD cooling, xtra battery set up, a/c. all power stuff & cloth buckets w/3'd seat interior, INSIDE spare tire mount, etc, etc. It also had taken a deer hit that wiped out driver's door, windshield, and almost the owner. Size & strength saved him. New w/shield, junkyard door, and back on the road. Drove it home after a quick test drive @ 70-80, ran great except for a bit of front wheel vibe @65-70 which went away around 75-80. Balance ? Big enough to fit 4x8 ply in the back and on the roof rack. Barn doors in back for easy loading. 5.7 (350) American muscle, 4 spd. auto, prev. owner used Castrol H/M oil, same as as the Yuke got, all good. LUV IT!! YES!!

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]

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.
I love it anyway

Bought my truck new 9 1/2 years ago... now has 148,000 miles on it... Up until this year, had very few repairs, but this year, I have replaced brakes, alternator, battery and the fuel pump twice. Just spent $1300 to get rid of a "Service engine soon" light, and I still have the light... So I get my 2nd fuel pump this week. Other than that, I love my truck, but feel it may not be as reliable as I'd like... May need to buy new. It also eats a ton of gas!
God Bless Them Yukons

I have a 96 Yukon and I just bought it about a week ago, a long time Chevy/GMC fan I just love this truck. It has a 6 inch lift and is chipped and ram aired to get me 350hp on the dyno. Truly not a force to be messed with. Will go through anything anytime anywhere.
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!
Drive It Till the Wheels Fall Off

Bought my '96 GMC Yukon in '98 with 36,000 miles on it. I now have 165,000 on the odometer and it still is the most dependable vehicle I own. I have replaced the transmission at 125,000 miles. Uses no oil and never fails to start and run. New trucks should be made like this. I intend to drive it till it dies or the wheels fall off.
