6 years later and i still love it
I love the interior with its attention to detail. The exterior just commands attention and it has plenty of power. I pull a 6200 lb. camper with ease. In 136,437 miles Ive had two problems. One with the drive line ($500) and the other with the air conditioner ($900). And the Bose system is one of the best factory sound systems that I have ever heard.
reliable and quality
I have a 2001 GMC Yukon Denali. I am the second owner having bought it at 35k miles. Now at 180k miles, the only items I have replaced are the water pump at 125k, rear evaporator at 170k and fuel pump at 178k & a few interior switches: brakes, tires and shocks as needed. Otherwise, just regular maintenance of all fluids. I use synthetic fluids exclusively; oil every 7-8k miles, trans fluid change every 50k, differentials, ps, brake fluid at 100k., brakes, shocks and other wear items. I average 14 MPG city/suburban driving and 16-17 MPG highway. Long term ownership costs even including gas have made this an economical vehicle.

I Love This SUV!
I purchased this vehicle from an individual that was very particular with his vehicles, no chips, swirl marks,etc. I had a '96 Blazer prior to this vehicle, and new I wanted to go bigger. My first love of this vehicle was the overall exterior looks, interior styling, and the powerful drive train. I pull a trailer with 3 motorcyles and recently a skid steer and it pulls remarkably well. The overall handling is great and the turning radius exceeds many cars abilities. I have never been in a vehicle that has as smooth of a ride and as extremely quiet interior. The gas mileage is around 14 in town and 17 on highway, not really too bad. Excellent sound system and rear controls are a nice feature. My wife says "You get what you pay for" and I agree. One test drive and I had to have one!
Long term plans have changed!
It has been a good vehicle for trips with riding comfort, low noise level, and interior room. I had an A/C problem that took a week to fix. I had planned on keeping this vehicle long term until I recently had a brake failure resulting in my crashing into the rear of another vehicle. I have been discussing this problem with GM but without results.
Yukon problems
I own a Denali and will trade it in.This vehicle needed brakes and drums at 15k miles with very light use. I had the antilock brake problem fixed twice. There is a recall in effect in Canada because the antilock brake sensor corrodes from road salt leading to activation of the antilock mechanism at low speeds. GM claims the incidence of this in the US is low, but the problem is under investigation by our goverment safety agency. if you have this poblem then file a report with traffic safety or if you are contempalting buying one of these vehicles check to see if your vehicle has had brake problems and if they are corrected. It cost me $500 bucks each time.
