This Year's Model Updates:

Half-ton models now feature standard Hydroboost brakes, a tire-pressure monitoring system and newly styled optional 17-inch aluminum wheels. The trailering package now includes a 7-to-4-pin brake wiring adapter. For added safety, there is now a front passenger seatbelt reminder. Also, a sunroof and rear-seat entertainment system can be ordered together for the first time. Lastly, GMC has lowered the output figures for the Vortec 8100 -- the engine is now rated at 320 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque.

Pros:
  • Huge interior space, strong lineup of V8 engines, Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, extensive list of available features.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior materials considering the price, questionable build quality.

    Want a big, luxury SUV? Deck out an XL with SLT trim and save some big $$. Lexus and Caddillac cannot show me 20+K worth of advantages over this ride. Its got big power, lots of room, all creature comforts and a feel- good vibe. Best vehicle Ive ever purchased.

    This is my first Denali, coming off a 2001 Excursion. I do miss the interior room, but this is a much more advanced vehicle. It is comfortable, quiet, well appointed, and less expensive than the Escalade. Fuel economy is only 15, but not surprising with all that power. Also, the climte control with dual sided controls works quite well.

    Nice roomy SUV . Bought it to carry the new twin grandchildren. Removed passenger side bucket seat to facilitate loading & third seat useage. Need to have sliding windows in cargo area for pet comfort.Interior cheap materials, no locking gas gap door or spring loaded wipers. Now there is a Envoy Denali. What next a Malibu Denali? Nav system somewhat difficult to program. Not a full size spare & manual reccomends you dont use chains. Kind of negates use in snow country.

    I have purchase about 10 different vehicles in my lifetime. This has been the best vechicle I have ever driven! The ride is exceptionally smooth. It seems to glide. The interior is extremely roomy. I will never purchase another type or model again!

  • 2004 Denali is pretty kewl - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    Other than it being a gas guzzler shoot, its a beauty!! I absolutely love it, it was a Christmas present this year from the husband and whew am I in for a real treat come summer months. I was alittle skeptical after reading some reviews from others with past model years but so far everything is smooth sailing. This is our 2nd GMC and this one is 2nd to none.

  • Yukon XL is better then I ever guessed.. - 2004 GMC Yukon XL

    I purchased this car as a gift for my husband -it was his dream truck. He loves this car and practically worships it. Weve driven it to Boston and it was a fantastic ride. With five children, the DVD and separate music system is a trip saver. It is hands down the best deal weve ever experienced both in terms of price, quality, reliability and comfort. Great job GMC!

  • Yukon Transmissions stinks - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    This vehicle has been in for repairs over the years at least 5 times for transmissions problems - but 36 days after the dealer recommended a "transmission flush" - the entire transmission blows up! Co-incidence? I think NOT! I think it is pretty suspicious that after a recommended procedure of "flushing" is done to have the transmission blow up only after 36 days!!! DO NOT BUY A GMC PRODUCT!!!! Basically, the dealer and GMC complaint department says "too bad, so sad"
