It's been a good truck to own

I bought it a year old w/ 36k miles for $25k. I wish it had a 3rd row seat available back then. It's time to trade it in for a minivan or Freestyle wagon. Trade in is $8K so it cost me $3400 a year in deperciation. Mechanically truck has held up very well. The fuel pump went out at 100k. Cost $1000 (mainly because we were stranded out of town and could not shop around for repair). ABS doesn't work. There was a recall in Canada, but it doesn't apply to the US. It will cost about $800 to fix. Intake gasket leaked ,causing loss of heat/coolant - cost $800 to fix. Overall I'm very happy witht he choice. The truck has become too unreliable for my wife and young kids, so it's time for a new car. I'd definitely get the 2005 or later Expedition if I got another SUV. Have drivien my dad's and brothers on a few trips and they are outstanding

Love the 'KON

Bought in '02 with 28K miles - currently have 93k miles. This Yukon has been a great truck. Tow 5K lb trailer to beach and to mountains with no problems. I did however put a 10K lb tranny cooler on myself, well worth the effort for the peace of mind when towing. 2 boys (getting ready to be 3) love it as well. Put up a pet gate for the dogs when we head to the hills. It has truly been a utility vehicle. Have had to replace battery once, carmax had a battery in it that was >100 crank amps too small. Brake pads, water pump gasket at 70K and drive belt at 80K. Threw on a RAVIN perf exhaust and pipes, 2 sons love the sound of the 5.7L when we get rolling. In short love it - great utility.

Snow, Rain, Sleet or Mt. Everest

I have had some nice trucks, but nothing even comes close to this. The power of a pickup and the ride of a lazyboy. My '99 yukon is the strongest most reliable vehicle I have owned yet. The 5.7 vortex 350 out preforms most other trucks. The ride is simmilar to that of a Park Ave. I think i am sold for life on Yukons....

Kept us safe in a bad accident, but...

Horrible mileage-about 10MPG. Also so many repairs required on a 5-6-7 year old car! Brakes only lasted 20000 miles. Door handles and hinges needed replacing. Needed new brake master and vacum. However all is forgiven, because I had a very nasty accident and my passenger and I both walked away safely.

Comfort at a cost

Purchased with 30,000+ miles on it, by 120,00 it was toast. Comfortable and roomy interior, great sound system and dash design. Travels well on highway. Disappointed with performance. Rear drum brakes went a week after purchase; engine ruined due to gasket/coolant problems even though scrupulously maintained. We've gotten well over 180,000 on our other vehicles. Last GMC big rig I'll buy.

I read a review on this site that said their yukon shakes at around 70mph. Mine does too. There is no evidence of abnormal tire wear though. Other than that this vehicle has been remarkable. It is a dependable, secure ride. Very smooth ride for an SUV. Press the accelarator with slow and steady pressure for the best acceleration...

100000 mile follow up

I have reached the 100000 mile mark. Still like the Yukon. However, intake manifold gasket replaced, apparently a very prevelent problem on the OEM gasket after the 60000 mile mark hold on to your check book 400-800 dollar repair depend who you call etc., fuel pump a costly 200-315 dollar part depend where bought, water pump, and wiper motor. Rides just as smooth at 50 mph as at 80 mph. Tranmission still no problem. Everything else good.

The vehicle has performed excellent, is a great car. Gas mileage is not too great but I was aware and accepted this when I purchased the vehicle. I and my family have been very pleased to date. The amenities are great and the car has been a tank through deep water ( we were in a flood last year, and in snow )
