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.

    Great car if a 58" person with no previous back problems can stand the pain of sitting in the drivers seat form more than 20 minutes. Way to go GM, you got my 50K this time, but never again. We have a brand new Denali in the garage, and took the Eddie Bauer Expedition with 100k miles on it to the family christmas gathering cause I cant stand the pain of being in that seat. And Ive never been a Ford or a GMC guy in the past either, I am now.

  • Didnt meet expectations - 2004 GMC Yukon XL

    We had problems right after we drove the car off the lot. The windshield was leaking, causing a loud noise while on the freeway, which the dealer fixed. We also have the clanging noise in the exhaust that can be heard a block away. GM is aware of the problem but not willing to fix it. After much wrestling and complaining and almost going to a lawyer, the dealership agreed to replace the muffler system at a local repair shop in order to fix the problem. We bought the extended warranty, which originally they said would NOT cover fixing the loud clanging in the exhaust.

    the denalli drives like no other. it looks stylish and draws extra attention on the road. the inside is roomy and comfortable. Quality on the other hand is a hugh disapointment driving off the lot my kids had broken both the covers for power adaptors, when i shut the drivers side door the electrical control for the windows came off the door. after looking at my sisters 35,000 dollar mini van i felt shorted both on Quality and Options

  • Nice but not trouble free. - 2004 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    We bought this to pull our travel trailer and haul the four kids around. Towing power is nice but the interior is not nearly as useful as the Honda Odyssey we traded in. In the last 4 months we have had to change the thermostat, have the gauge cluster replace, and have an air bag light coming on and off. Not trouble free by any standard. This is a really nice vehicle but the quality is not all that great. Just make sure to have money set aside for repairs!
