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.

  • Bad workmanship - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    My GMC has had three front differentials and MANY, MANY other problems. I know the whole service department by first name basis. They have even asked when I was going to start getting a pay check... GMC does not stand behind their product when it comes right down to it. They might fix it if you know what you are talking about, otherwise thay might pull a quick one. GMC has been making these SUVs for a long time so you might think they would have all the quirks worked out ~ at least thats why I bought GMC. BUT its NOT the case.

  • Poor quality - defects - 2004 GMC Yukon XL

    We recently bought the Denali. It cost $53,000, so we expected a top of the line vehicle. What we got instead was a lemon. Even with the extended warranty, we are not able to fix a problem with loud clanging in the exhaust which is known to GMC corporation. We are not aware if this is even a safety issue. The corporation does not offer any information. We did get the seal of the windshield fixed. It was very loud because of the windshield air leak, which may also be a hazard.

  • DONT BUY!! - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    purchased 2004 yukon xl 2wheel drive, makes loud popping or clanging noise continues for at least five to ten minutes after car is turned off, it rides like a fifteen year old car that needs a tune up, vibrates in steering wheel and dash while sitting stopped, dealer says these 2004 just make more noise than older models, dealer wants to put weights on exhaust to stop vibration, basically when you spend 43,000 on a new suv and only have 1500 miles, we should not have to be going to dealer every other day and waiting on parts to "rig" the exhaust. ADVICE, DONT BUY GMC YUKON XL 2004 MODEL
