  • My third Denali but not my last - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I have owned just about every luxury SUV auto available, including Mercedes, and the GMC Yukon Denali is far and away the best SUV vehicle I have driven. The quality gets better every year it seems too, despite a high level each year. My only "wish" would be that it would have selectable AWD vs. 2Wheel drive.

  • Great ride - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I am averaging 18 MPG overall since I purchased and about half of my driving is in the city. Would highly recommend this vehicle.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2005 GMC Yukon

    Buy one, you wont be disappointed. This has been the best vehicle we have ever owned for a family of six that likes road trips.

  • Awesome Denali - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We looked at Escalades, Navigators, Excursions, Expeditions, Tahoes, etc. but really liked the Yukon Denali the best overall.Excellent horsepower, fair fuel milege, very comfortable seating for a family of 4 and gear. If you have the need for more than four then you better get the XL or you will be disappointed.

  • I love my Yukon! - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    This is the first full size SUV Ive owned and although gas is now $3 a gallon, I love my Yukon. I get around 19 mpg on the highway and 17 in town. The interior is very comfortable for a short person since the gas & brake pedals move forward. I dont feel like Im sitting right on top of the steering wheel.

  • 05 Denali - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Bought the Denali at the end of July. Black, Tan leather 2nd Row Captains 20" EOM Wheels....Loaded! I love this ride, even though my wife is the main driver. I put 20% all around including sunroof and it definately stands out. I have already had a recall with the blower motor on the A/C not keeping the recycling on the "in cab" air going, small issue. Already been on 3 road trips.. Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville. Rides like a dream. The power is there if you need to get on it, but watch the gas. I have ordered the Billet Chrome "GMC" for the grille to get rid of the EOM red. Taking off the red in the rear as well. Looking at purchasing the programmer for HP/MPG All in all... Awesome!

  • Better Than Expected - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Nice vehicle. Better than I expected. Gas mileage is poor, but I knew this going into purchase. Roomy interior for passengers, but not a lot of cargo space behind third row. Gaps between body panels could be improved upon. Strong engine performance. Only problems to date have been excessive moisture in a front corner lamp and a squeaky drivers door. The dealer replaced the corner lamp and a check linkage on the drivers door.

  • Great vehicle - bad mileage - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    This is a great vehicle. The gas mileage is bad, but I knew that going in. I have not had any problems with the vehicle. This is a very comfortable ride. With the GMC "you pay what we pay" campaign I was able to finally get the vehicle I wanted. Excellent car, and I highly recommend - just be ready to spend some money on gas.

  • Good Family vehicle - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    If you need a large, family car - this is it. We bought it for the 3rd row seat and storage behind it. We tried the shorter version but with the 3rd row up, you had little storage room left. The long version is the way to go. Handles well (braking, cornering, acceleration) for such a big vehicle. Be aware, even with an reasonable foot, it will average 15 mpg hwy and 12 city.

  • What a truck - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    The Yukon has been flawless since we purchased it a year ago. Yes, the mileage could be better, but thats not the vehicles fault. We knew it wouldnt be great. The ride is comfortable, and the performance has been much better than we expected. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for this style of ride who isnt squeamish about gas mileage.
