Bought my 02 Yukon 6 months ago, and love it. Yes, she's a little thirsty (14/18), but it's like driving a Cadillac on a 4x4 frame (w/ a tighter turning radius!) Fun to drive, safe in a wreck, and the easiest interior configuration I've ever used. As a gig musician, I'm always loading/unloading varying amounts of gear. This rig is so easy to pull seats out, rearrange space, etc.

Excellent Value

Perfect SUV for a family of five, surprisingly MPG's is not as bad as we were expecting...average 16-17 with the 6.0L. Handles great in the Wisconsin winter roads.

Bought the Yukon new in Dec. 2001. Drove it for business (mostly highway) to around 180,000 in 2008. Since then my sons have taken the truck to college with them. Now has approx. 215,000. I have always changed the oil between 3-5000 miles. We have only had to do routine maintenance (brakes, belts, tires etc.) The only irritating issue has been the drivers side window motor. Have had to replace this 3 times. Otherwise very, very solid truck. In fact, bought a 2009 Yukon and love it. The key to any car is to keep up with routine maintenance and don't beat it to death. Take care of your car.

Not Bad for 125,000 miles

Call me crazy but I bought a 2002 Denali with 120,000 miles on it. I have had it for two months (5000 miles) and am very pleased. I would have never thought to buy a vehicle with that many miles but the previous owner took exceptional care of this car. The ride is very nice although if the road is bumpy so is the ride. The performance is outstanding. It flat out moves when you give it the gas. My biggest complaint is that the front seat doesn't quite go back far enough. The mileage is at 16 mpg with about 50/50 driving. The car's transmission was rebuilt at 110,000 miles. My mechanic said it was one of the nicest cars he has seen with that high of mileage. Inside and out.

Happy

Bought this truck at an off lease five years ago. Just got back from a 4000 mile road trip with no issues (115,000 miles with just routine maintainance). Nice leather interior, stylish exterior (with 20" rims from 2007 Yukon) plenty of 12v outlets & plenty of power (with the 5.7L you hardly know your trailer is back there). Fuel milage (not great) beats my friends with Lexus G470 and Lincoln Navigator with 16-18 mpg. Before my big road trip, I overhauled the brakes, plugs, belts, filters, hoses etc. Hadn't done the brakes in 60,000 miles and I was amazed to see that the massive rear brakes had about 60% life left on them and the original plugs were almost like new.

Excellent SUV, Highly recommend!

I have a white 2002 Yukon SLT 4WD. I use it to pull my 4 horse trailer. It does great up hills, around curves and has a great towing capacity. I love it for family outtings since I have 2 kids and 3 dogs, and my husband likes it for the handling and drives it to work everyday without a problem. I feel very safe in it. Highly recommend this SUV, I wont ever depend on a Ford after driving my Yukon for so long!

I bought mine new in 02. I traded in a 97 GMC Yukon that had many problems. My 97 was basically a dog after the first 25K miles. The 2002 Yukon is head and shoulders above the earlier body style. So far, 127k miles on the 2002 model and nothing but routine maintenance tires and oil. I have been rough on this vehicle but do maintain it. In the current economy fewer people will be able to own and operate a vehicle like this. If you are one of them, this is an excellent SUV to own. The 02 Yukon has exceeded my dependability expectations. Grade it a A+

Warning: the Yukon started making a rattling & knocking noise. The GMC dealership themselves sent a letter to me stating the problem is (cold start engine knock) and there is nothing they can do and it would cost too much for a recall. They said it happens in some GMC and Chevy models and it has nothing to do with the motor, so don't worry. What! People don't pay good money for this vehicle to hear clanking noises. I found other people that had similar experiences with this suv on yahoo autos. Go check out some of their reviews before you buy.

I love this vehicle. It is just big enough to haul everything and small enough to enjoy! The ride and comfort surpasses any vehicle that I have owned in the past. The only complaint that I might have is the access to the 3 row of seats..but then I very rarely use them and don't have to get ride there anyway. There is not anything I can say bad about my vehicle. In the 3 1/2 years that I have driven this vehicle we have only had to replace the starter and one of the u-joints.That in my opinion can only be called reliability to the max!

62,500 miles and not a single repair. This is my third vehicle of this type (two Tahoes and one Yukon) and I will buy a forth when I'm done with this one. Vortec 5300 is smooth and powerful making it a breeze to merge and pass on the freeway. The tight turning radius (better than a Camry or Accord) makes it equally at home around town. The 2WD is a much better ride than the 4WD version in my opinion.

Awesome SUV!

I bought a used Yukon (certified). Best vehicle I have ever owned. Great engine, but it sucks gas if you dont use it properly by constantly being impressed by the sudden influence of power. The captains chairs in the front are very comfortable. Music radio okay. I was very worred about the 2WD feature since I was trading a 4wd vehicle. The stability control is acceptable on this vehicle and the vehicle is heavy enough to provide enough traction on snow covered roads and heavy side street snow. Very impressive. It doesnt snow that much in Dayton so it will be hardly missed. better gas mpg than the 4wd i am sure.

The Yukon has alot of good qualities, Handeling ride,power(5.3), appearance. It does however, need serious attention in some areas, Drive train "Clunks" shifting 2/3(see GMC tech Memo), Engine "Knocks" on cold starts (see GMC Tech Memo). Sadly GMC proudly considered these NORMAL. Customer Service is really Non- Existent (Although Polite)

Moved up from Ford F150 Super Crew 4x4; the Yukon seats should be in the living- room! GMC rides more luxurious. Only miss the higher torque, but Yukon has sufficient power (5.3L definately recommended). Couldn't be happier - don't know why everyone doesn't drive one of these SUVs. Interior storage compartment space is lacking, but handling more than makes up for this slight flaw.

Our Yukon is a excellent ride, fun to drive, easy to park in city traffic and the on-star communications system on board is a safe feeling knowing that if your in a severe accident with air bag deployment and can not respond, help will be coming. G.M.C. may want to consider replacing the engine cooling fans with electric fans to assist with better fuel milage.

Last vehicle was a 96 Suburban. Use it to tow a boat. Nice size and handling. Excellent stereo, great climate control in hot weather, rides nice but front seats lack support in our opinion and steering is too light, no road feel. Muffler had to be replaced when heat shield separated. Averaging 13.6 mpg overall.

My previous vehicle was a 96 Pathfinder...given the Yukon is a larger vehicle...but the drive is soooo much better. The V8 engine has alot of kick to it, but not too the point where is throws you into the back of your chair. I've had it 24 hours, and I look forward to the next 100,000 miles with my Yukon.

I swore off GM in the early 90's and have owned a BMW and Volvo since. This truck changed my mind. It's a wonderful vehicle that rides more like a luxury car than a truck. Of the three cars we own, the family always loads into this one. It also has function with this beauty and comfort. It eats up snow, mud, and everything else we've put in front of it. Thought GM had fixed quality problems and also purchased GMC Jimmy... MISTAKE! As good as the Yukon is, the Jimmy is as bad. We are trading that POS in after the winter!

Cannot overstate how pleased I am with my Yukon. Traded a 00 Expedition and without hesitation, the Yukon is a far superior. It is more powerful and responsive, excellent engine (5.3L). It rides firmer (a positive) and handles better. It gives better gas mileage with a larger engine. I say again, excellent engine. Transmission shifts are un-noticable. Great room, front and back (don't have the 3rd seat, didn't want, my 3rd seat in my Expy stayed in the basement all the time). I like the dash and interior, great seats. This is a comfortable truck that is solid as a rock. I even compared to the 03 Expy and found the Yukon still superior.

Have had nothing but problems. With 4000 miles the car has been in the shop more then 5 times. Electrical problems are the most prevelent and the dealership has had a hard time replicating the problems. GM Customer Assist has been no help and the local rep's concern was only that I was not stranded on the highway. Otherwise he concluded the warranty is working.

2001 XL 4x4 Yukon 5.3 LT Drive train handles the gvwr of 7200lbs very well, with such a heavy vehicle my wife and I are satisfied with gas mileage 14 city/17 hwy (note havn't had on interstate yet hoping for a little better mileage on the open road), creature comforts are nice, children love the factory installed tv/vcr really nice on trips. Haven't had opurtunity to use 4x4 yet but from the looks of teh way it is designed, looks indestructable. Will likely purchase extended warranty off internet as we draw closer to end of factory one ~ $1200.

If there's a better truck........

Actually a 2001 but Edmunds doesn't have a field for 01 Denali's. Truck now has 30,000 miles, and thus far has been flawless. Plenty of power and average's .5 mpg less than a mid-size V8 Jeep. Friends say "nicest vehicle they've ever rode in". If you doubt Air Suspension, test ride a Denali and Yukon back to back. If you can't tell the difference, then save yourself $8,000 and buy the Yukon.

Great Truck

I am very happy with my new Yukon. The ride is great. I can't believe how quiet the drive train and tires are. Speaking of tires - what is up with putting Firestone tires on? This is an extremely comfortable highway cruiser. The power is there if you need a quick jump from 65-80 to pass someone. Visibility is good. I would recommend to anyone who wants a full size SUV. This is a very nice, competent package

Excellent Ride

Great ride, excellent handling. Well built vehicle. I found the turning radius and steering of this vehicle much better than the GMC Jimmy, although that was a smaller model. The headroom and elbow room in the front seat is excellent. Very spacious.

Love this truck

I replaced my ten year old suburban with this vehicle. I use it for work and family use. My first trip was an 800 mile round trip to visit my daughter.It was a joy to drive on the interstates and in the city. Very comfortable and almost nimble in heavy traffic. Great lines of vision. Very low wind noise at highway speed. A very comfortable ride quality. Go get yourself one!

This vehicle is great to drive. The ride and feel are excellent for such a large heavy vehicle. I'm amazed at how well it holds the road. The 5.3 V8 is very powerful. I'm very happy with the comfort/feel/performance of this vehicle.

Great family SUV

I have a 5.3L Yukon SLT. It is a great SUV with excellent pickup and smooth ride. Lots of space and third row seating is of great help.

Just bought a 4X4 SLE in storm gray metallic with the 5.3, third row, running boards, trailer tow, and all-season tires. Very impressed with the quietness of the cabin, tight turning radius, and ride. Owned a Toyota Tundra before and this is my first GMC purchase. Overall I am impressed, but shouldn't I be for the money! Hope I get the same reliability!

Yukon is it

Great SUV for the family. I drove a small foreign SUV before and it doesn't even come close. My last SUV rode like a tractor in comparison to the Yukon. Great acceleration and comfort.

FUN SUV

We used to drive and Expedition but it's not even in the same league as the Yukon. Great comfort and handles like a dream compared to the Expedition. Easily the best full size SUV on the market.

The Tahoe++ is worth the differnce

I owned a 2000 Tahoe before I traded it for a 2002 Yukon Denali. I love the size etc of these vehicles. The Denali's Bells and Whistles are very nice if you want them. The Denali has the following features that you can't get on a Tahoe: 320 hp engine vs 285 hp 6 disc CD changer vs no changer better tires 17 inch Chrome wheels running boards that and bumper that match the paint on the rest of the body
