This Year's Model Updates:

Revisions for 2005 include a new optional touchscreen navigation system. Rear barn doors are no longer available, as all models now come with an overhead rear liftgate (with separate liftglass).

Pros:
  • Huge interior, strong lineup of V8 engines, available Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, extensive list of optional features.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior materials considering the price, bulky size makes it unwieldy for daily use.

  • I wish I had came to edmunds and looked for these reviews before I bought this huge waste of money. - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    I bought my vehicle used with a clean vehicle history report. Over 4 months I get ...1) sunroof tracks out. 2)FL tire monitor malfunction, 3)transmission is failing, 4)starter went out, 5) driving lamps work intermittently, 6) check engine light on and computer says its an o2 sensor. Hmmmm which one of several? 7) One of rear seat warmers quit working. I think this earns GM a huge 0 in my book of quality.

  • This is one Gas-Burning Dinasour! - 2005 GMC Yukon XL

    Weve owned 2 in a row. I thought the 1st one was a lemon.This truck is the reason for GM troubles! If you plan on towing a heavy trailer 100% of the time, this is one solid vehicle. The other 99.9% of the consumers, stay away from it! If you transport 7 passengers, go buy a minivan. This truck will far exceed your monthly payment in gas consumption and will make you poor. Its hard to park, and believe me, youre not bragging to anyone by driving one. People feel sorry for you at the pump! Basically, a very expensive, low quality, gas-hogging beast all around. Buttons peel off, leather seats wear out in 12k miles. This car is 100% what a European or Asian car is not. Its a $45k shame!
