Runs forever

Nothing better for taking a family on a trip. Incredibly smooth ride. Comfortable. Reasonable gas mileage for a beast of a vehicle.

Last one went 360k miles

I had an 02 that went for 360k miles. I expect the same from this one. Absolutely the best thing for the interstate. Drove my last one for 12 years & couldn't wait to get another. INDESTRUCTIBLE !

This is a All Wheel Drive powerhouse fun to Drive

The Yukon XL is incredibly spacious- especially for passengers in the back rows. I have driven on plenty of icy roads and this vehicle has never disappointed me in handling and plowing through snow. Features are the latest that was available in 2003.

No Problems

We have owned this car since 2003, bought it new, take care of it and it will take care of you. We had the same brake pads for 12 years, still went strong. Never broke down, extreme comfort, lots of room, drive it for an annual 1,000 mile trip twice a year, no problems. This thing can tow no problem, had a 30 foot trailer behind it for 4 years. Extremely reliable, lots of power, if you own it, you know, the moment you get it you will never get rid of it, it's a workhorse with over 200,000 miles. Bought it in 2003, purchased for 40,000 base model, and it was worth every penny, haven't bought a new car since, now a days for 10,000, it;s too good of a deal for anyone to pass up, the good old GMC.

2003 GMC Yukon XL 4 towing and going

I found the old school bench seat I was looking for and a tow package with electric brakes. The truck does everything I need it to do and it does it well. MPG a little rough (14 in winter) but you get alot of pulling power for the MPG

Lola is a dream come true

My fiance and I had been looking for a large SUV for quite some time. We had it narrowed down to either a Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon XL. Both are made by the same people with few noticeable differences. We were extremely fortunate to be the first to find the Yukon XL Denali we found. It is a 2003 and it had just under 65,000 miles on it with an extraordinary CarFax report. We got a good number for it and bought it. She has been a dream come true. I only say a 4 out of 5 for value for the money because the gas is brutal but that should be expected. It costs me $120-$130 to fill and I do that every 10-14 days because this is just for whoever has our 2 little kids. This vehicle is perfect for people with growing families and I truly don't know how you can fit everything in a normal size SUV. Go big or go home. The Denali is gorgeous and everything we need it to be! Would make the same deal a 100 times over.
