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.
nice surprise

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...

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.

Pros: • 4-wheel drive • Easy to clean • Good visibility • Lots or storage space • It’s a brick Cons: • Leather seats stay cold in winter • Loose steering • Takes a long time to heat up in the winter • Problems with door handles • It’s a brick I got my Yukon when I was 15 and have had it for 5 years and it has approximately 235,000 miles on it. It’s still runs just as good as the day I got it, with a few fixes here and there. I appreciate having a vehicle that can get around well in the snow. There have been many occasions where I’ve been out doing things with people when conditions are bad and I’m the only one able to drive confidently. Last week 4 friends and I spent 20 minutes trying to push car up a hill because it was the only road out of the area we were in, and as soon as a got back into my Yukon I was able to get up the same hill in about 20 seconds. Another plus to this vehicle is the many windows all around. Every car I’ve ever been in I’ve struggled to be able to see clearly when either backing up or fitting through tight spaces. Instead, with this Yukon, I have clear sightlines in every direction and can easily tell how far I am away from something. My junior year in high school I was hit by a person flying out of their driveway and barely felt a thing, on the other hand their whole front end was messed up. Although I do love this vehicle and am very glad I purchased it, there are obviously problems I have found with it. The steering can feel a little loose when driving on the interstate and even more so when its windy. This can be annoying on long drives because you need to compensate more for the wheels slightly changing direction. I have also had problems with the door handles, the driver side door from the outside and the front passenger from the inside. There was no major hits that the handles or the doors took that I could figure would have broken anything. But somehow a rod inside the door panel became bent on both doors and made it so the handles did nothing. Overall I’ve never regretted choosing to buy this Yukon as my first vehicle and I have been in many situations where I’m very glad I had it. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a robust, any-situation kind of vehicle that can handle whatever you can throw at it.

I've owned just about every Ford and Chevy make out there, but GMC made a convert out of me. I'm now the proud owner of my third GMC and I've loved every one. Call it "Professional grade" or whatever, but when it comes to reliability, comfort and performance, my GMC's have all been a cut above any of the Fords or Chevys I've owned.
Excellent unit

Got a '99 GMC Yukon SLE 4X4 dirt cheap with a blown motor and only 195xxxkm I swapped in another 350 Vortec and she has been very good to me. Smooth, extremely comfortable, strong V8 great ground clearance and commanding view make it an awesome winter unit! I would highly recommend getting one, spending a little to make it reliable and it will truly not disappoint.

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 )
Great Value

Having trade my 00 Sierra w/5.3 ext. cab for a 99 Yukon wasn't sure but glad we did it. Much more family friendly. Since new body styles (00+ models) and features are more wanted and much more $$$ makes these models much more affordable. Our SLT has every option you could get for 2WD. Have had ours 3 mon. Runs great. Feels just as powerful as the 5.3 and has more torque. Perhaps not as refined in delivering the pwr. Fuel econ. is worse 13-15 city but expected that. Nice quiet ride. The Michelin XC make for a good secure drive.
Nice SUV

Thanks to my grandpa I have this SUV. It has over 125,000 miles on it and still runs great! No leaks or anything. It may be almost 6 years old but it still looks new. The leather seat with heat for all passengers keeps everyone cmofortable.
Couldn't Have Better!

I see a lot of reviews of people saying that is is a poor vechile. Well don't forget that it wa made in 1999! It's not perfect like it was the day you pucharsed it, if you got it brand new like we did. It has been in our famliy since it was bought and has brought a lot of fun to us. What year are we in...2008 so yeah it's 9 years old. Of cousre it's gonna be having problems. It's old not new no more! I love my Yukon and feel very safe and love pushing faster than I should but I don't care because it can handle it. 255 hp is something!
