my new GMC

2004 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

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.

Great combination of Luxury ride and SUV practicality. Didn't plan on getting the stylish Denali, but couldn't leave it on the lot. Gets a lot of looks from others. Nice interior. Well worth the money.

With the introduction of kids into my life, I knew I needed my wife and I needed a bigger vehicle. We weren't ready to concede to a minivan yet, and the Yukon turned out to be a great choice. We actually got one on the road cheaper than a Tahoe, which at the outset I didn't think would be possible. The ride is great, it is very roomy, and the big V8 pulls the vehicle along well. The only minus is gas mileage, but if you are worried about that, you shouldn't be looking at an SUV anyway.

RodeMaster's New Yukon

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 this vehicle. I know someone who has a Denali. I fell in love with his Denali and had to have one for myself. Even though I cannot afford a Denali I love what I have. Handles great and is very comfortable to drive. I put over 3200 miles on my in a month and a half.

overall good performance, this is our 3rd gm suv, had initial problems with steering shaft noise. Has lots of room and power, pulls small boat with ease. would like to see better mpg, tighter handling and please upgrade interior materials , getting several squeeks/ rattles after 35000 miles. also could improve acess to 3rd seat.

I'm a big & tall guy. Most vehicles today just don't have enought head, leg, and hip room. The worst feature on most cars today is the center console - it cuts into leg room. The Yukon with the split-bench front-seat is extremely comfortable for a guy like me. The ride and handling are great. Good acceleration and braking. I've got a 2WD base model with the standard engine, and I get very respectable mileage for such a big vehicle: 15-16 around town and 20- 21 on the highway. I got mine without running boards, which is good for me so I don't rub my pants on dirt when I get in, but shorter folks like my mom have a hard time climbing up into the Yukon without the step assist.

Yukon XL

We got this SUV in July 2004 after 1 test drive. It ran so smooth and quiet, and was so comfortable, we had to have it. Our last SUV was an Expedition, and it was noisy and the doors closed like a cheap truck. The Yukon doors close, and it's quiet like a Caddy! The handling is superb, and the power for passing and hauling is excellent!

I have driven sports cars and sedans and this has to be one of the best built and best riding vehicles I have driven. The heated leather seats have been great during the cold winter mornings. The Bose audio system is pretty nice as well. The engine is strong and the vehicle has great towing ability and I am getting about 18mpg on the highway with the 5.3L V8

This vehicle is the best SUV by far I've ever owned. It looks great, and performs excellent. We use it to tow our boat, it pulls our boat with ease. It is soooo comfortable to drive.

This was our third and last Yukon. This one was a loaded SLT with a 49K price tag. Wifes car, never off the pavement. At 42K miles the transfer case failed. Was at dealer for 3 weeks. At 51K miles, transfer case noise,same problem,another new transfer case. Squeeks and rattles at 32K miles. Electricial issues since the first month. Vehicle loses all preset data. Tire air sensers fail constantly. I will not buy another one. Pathetic fuel economy, but will pull a house.

Bought it as a lease return with 36K. 5.3L, AWD, 17" wheels. Wanted a Denali, but not the mileage. Surprisingly tight turning radius! Loaded with moonroof, Bose,DVD,etc. No surprises. Very comfortable, enough space for family, very good power. Suits me perfectly! Gets slightly better MPG than my '98 Blazer with V6. 100 more miles per tank.

I really love this car! I bought it new in 2004 and it has 82,000 miles on it now. The only things I do to it are regular oil changes and tire rotations. I also changed the tires at 50,000 miles. I do not care for the third row seating as it is a pain to climb over the second row. Also the power and acceleration are not that great. Otherwise I will buy another Yukon when I buy my next vehicle.

If you love comfort-ability you would love the 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. Its very very spacious for if you have several kids or friends. Also if u need to load something up in your trunk just remove the 3 rd roll seats and you got plenty of room. The truck hold great on the road. Its engine is unbelievable.

I purchased this vehicle exactly 2 years ago. My previous vehicle was an Isuzu trooper. I can't began to tell how much difference a powerful & reliable vehicle can make. Other than a few minor issues, this is an excellent vehicle. I considered the new '07 Denali but it looks too much like a Ford Explorer.

The bus

All our friends call it the "bus". When we all want to go out together, they call us. We have hauled a lot of stuff in it while remodelling our house. The water pump was replaced under warrany, but, no other problems. Gets 15 mpg no matter where or how you drive it, but 4 people and lots of luggage ride in comfort.
