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.

  • Great vehicle - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    This is my first Yukon. Ive wanted one for a very long time, and finally got it. I love my Yukon. I have four wheel drive for the snow, and it handles it perfect. I feel very safe with my family in this car, and I have never had any problems with this truck. The gas mileage is horrible, but what can you expect from an SUV? I have installed XM satellite radio and I dont listen to the regular radio anymore. The sound is great too. The only thing I dislike is the 3rd row seating. There is no leg room. Your legs are up to your chest and the seats dont fold down into the floor. I have to pull them out (very heavy) whenever I want to use the extra cargo space and its a pain. A-

  • Not quite good enough - 2004 GMC Yukon XL

    Looks great, well appointed, "clunk" in transmission and whistling noise on acceleration is very dissappointing

    Nice ride,quiet,comfortable,duel air works great,tows whatever you want to tow and you can hardly tell you are towing and better fuel mileage than my 97 Tahoe at 65-75 mph but it drops like a rock if you go above that.Power is ok but next time Ill opt for the 6.0 ltr motor and I would strongly urge GM to offer the Duramax diesel which I would buy.

  • Denali Pros & Cons - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    This GMC Denali is the 5th large GMC SUV that Ive owned in 18 years and is by far the very best. This is an effortless vehicle to drive despite the size. The all wheel drive was flawless over the winter. I find the gas miles to be acceptable given the weight and poor aerodynamics. In 12,000 miles of combined city/highway the average is 14.7 mpg with 87 octane fuel. So far, no complaints.

  • Awesome Denali - 2004 GMC Yukon XL

    This vehicle is truly a family comfortable automobile. Its size and power entertain both the truck lover and the family provider.
