I usually don't keep a vehicle as long as this but I plan to hold on to the Yukon. It is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. It rides like a caddy and is quieter than anything I have had. And I have owned Ford Explorer and Expedition as well as Jeep Grand Cherokee.

steering and alignment suck

The steering shaft, alignment, and crossmember keep needing work. I took it in 3 times for alignment because the tires are wearing on the outter side, and the steering shaft has been changed once, and it still makes noises and rattles when i turn, and the crossmember has been changed because it made clicking noises when i turned-- that is the only problem the dealer fixed right the first time.

I love my new GMC Yukon, Denali 2004. The word Denali, means "GREAT ONE" and that is what I have. I traded in my 1999, Toyota, Landcruiser, (my second) and was very hesitant about purchasing anything else. I made the right choice! My gas mileage is better than my toyota and is better than the sticker mileage and any review that I read. I am now sold on GMC. This is a GREAT suv in every way!

I love this car. My family is constantly arguing over who gets to drive it(our other car is a Mercedes). This car is definately more comfortable and drives better(smoother) than my E320. As for the gas mileage--it gets better MPG than my brother-in-law's BMW M3. For such a large powerful vehicle the gas mileage is pretty good.

LA Freeways and The Yukon Denali

The new 2004 GMC Yukon Denali is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. It works well in heavy stop and go traffic in the LA Basin as well as in rural snow and ice road conditions. It is very quiet and comfortable for all condtions. It sits high enough to see what is happening ahead on the freeway to avoid the daily fender benders. I would recommend it based on the feeling of security on the road.

I rate the Yukon the best in all classes of SUV's. I had a Ford Explorer that I traded for the Yukon. It was OK and never gave me trouble, but the Yukon has it beat all ways for comfort, ease of handling and the gas mileage is about the same even though the engine and vehicle is overall bigger. I love everything about this SUV

This is my second purchase. I traded a 98' Yukon for this one and there is a world of difference. The ride is like a dream, quiet, firm but not stiff, breaking seems to be more than adaquate, a real change from the old front disc and rear drums. Confidant that the vehicle will stop without worry. The ease steering is different and the suspension is much smoother than my old 4WD. The 5.3L engine is smooth and powerful, better gas consumption and real joy. Styling is great and the new Silver color is nice. I just couldn't wait to trade and I'm glad that I did.

I have owned my GMC Yukon Denali 03 for just a few months now and I can't say enough positive things about this SUV. The Denali is a lot of fun to drive with exceptional power, stability, comfort and towing capability all in one package. GMC has really improved on their overall build quality and the engine is one of the outstanding features of this vehicle. Fellas out there - this is a vehicle you can use to haul your family around without lowering your self-esteem by driving a mini-van! This by is far the best vehicle I have owned.

We bought this new GMC Denali on January 22, 2004. We have to homes to travel to being 400 miles apart from each other. When driving on the highway I believe the Denali's ride is 2nd to none as far as smoothness and comfort go. The more we drive it the more we love it.Three times back and forth from Mass. to Northern Maine in style, and it just keeps getting better.

A very fine vehicle that is fun to drive. Has great passing ability. The headlights are fine, but can be improved by useing premium xenon bulbs. With these you get great visibility. A serious shortcoming is LACK of a back up warning system. It is very much needed for safety.

Great car but is now made of or out off composite and not metal like it used to be. Ths makes for much better gas milage and the chasis is the same but not quite as safe as the 99's . The car looks great and has a great sound system (Bose) but the ride is not quite as good as the older suburbans. I did choose this over my 2002 Caddy (DeVille) i just got rid of.

Overall I am very pleased with this vehicle. The comfort, ride, and features are all way above average. I am 6'4" and this is one of the few SUVs that gives me the room I need. The stock stereo is excellent. I use the nav all the time. It's not a touch screen, but it works almost flawlessly in my experience. XM radio is well worth the money if you drive far away from big cities. it has a huge engine, tows great, will give you great acceleration for the size, and you'll have no trouble merging into traffic. Now for the negative. Poor gas mileage . At 11000 miles, I had a transmission issue. It shifted jack rabbit style into 2nd gear, the engine light came on, and I am still waiting for the warranty repairs from the dealer.

I have owned 3 Cheverolet Tahoe's (1995-1998-2001)and none of them can compare with my new GMC Yukon. It's a littler fancier than my Tahoe's with retractable moon roof, 6 CD changer, OnStar, XM Satellite Radio), and it runs like a dream. I wish it didn't have that third row seat, or that it could be retractable like the Ford Expedition. All in all, I love my Yukon and think it is one of the finest vehicles on the road today. It makes my son and I feel safe and secure and it drives excellent.

Denali is a lot more responsive than the other Yukons and actually drives better. The 17" Wheels and extra 500lbs in weight gives better separation from the road. The regular Yukes makes a popping sound when steering hard but not with the Denali.

This was my first GMC vehicle and certainly not my last. The quality which was put in to the design and building of the vehicle is extraordinary. Everything fits, nothing rattles or wobbles, or makes noise, unless it's supposed to and you can just tell that the quality is there. My only complaint was that I couldn't get 17" wheels and tires...only on the Denalli which was not worth the difference in price (about $10,000). All in all, I am very happy with this one.

Thus far, I have been completely satisfied with the performance of my new GMC Yukon XL. Although the gas mileage is a little less than I anticipated, I drive mostly city driving and it isn't off the charts bad. My kids love the space and we have really liked the fact that it is so quiet inside. As a Volvo and Merceds owner, I am used to automobiles that exceed expectations and this one has done just that. If this is what American cards are like now a days... I may rethink my next auto purchase to an American manufactured car.

I really love my Denali but very disappointed with the material used in and around the vehicle is coming apart. the molding on the inside and outside is constantly falling off, the headrest seats where they connect are coming apart. The guide for the seats to move forward and backwards is coming off. You will have to be an installer to keep the unit together. I was totally surprised at the manufacturing and material use in a General Motors car and a luxury car at that.I still feel that the tranny is loose but am told at the dealers otherwise. Other than those things it is a great vehicle.

While looking for a full size SUV--I looked at lots of models. GMC's Yukon not only turned my head, but made me a True Believer. First off, a great looking truck, and in Black, it looks fast standing still. The 4.8 has tons of low end, so quick pullouts into traffic are a breeze. The DVD-Sunroof package is the best invention for long road trips yet. The ability to plug in the XBox makes this entertainment center a winner (the rest of the car can listen to the audio of the DVD, or not--Nice feature).

I love my Denali, it is the best SUV I ever had and when choosing between an Expedition, Escalade, and the Denali the Denali just was more for me. A better ride than the escalade and a cleaner look then the Expedition it wasn't a hard decision. Only thing I wish GM had did was to make it come with wood on the steering wheel like the Escalade. Other than that GMC makes some awsome trucks!

This Denali is a dream to drive, smooth, quiet and easy to handle. The seats make long distance travel a really enjoyment. The seperate stereo sound systems for front and back make the kids happy not to mention us adults. The view of the roadway is execellent and makes avoiding problem ahead easy to see. The 0n-Star system has help several time once when we came over a hill to witness a head on accident. On-Star has some there quickly in the remote area.

Great vehicle. Third row seating should be an option not standard. AWD is a gas guzzling feature. Should be on demand 4WD. All in all, I love my Denali, plenty of power, room and very comfortable. Gas mileage could be better, getting about 15mpg.
