  Awesome! - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By AJ - October 7 - 9:23 pm

  Awesome vehicle. Now has 60,000 miles on it. White with tan Leather. It is a fully loaded Denaili, lots of options. A lot of fun to drive. Great power. Seats are extremely comfortable with plenty of room. Has been very reliable, only thing was the sunroof motor went at 55,000 miles, dealer fixed it at no cost. Gas mileage isnt good only getting 12 mpg but expected with a big V8. Overall great vehicle and Highly recommended.

  Becoming a bad experience! - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By Ice Genie - August 17 - 12:44 am

  We got our Yukon about 10 mos ago. Loved it up until the last 5000 miles. Inside of tires wearing, suspected bent frame. Dealer trying to push it off. Still trying to get resolved. Very comfortable for long trips with a family of 5. We think the cup holders could be improved upon (they did in 07s). Thinking I will have to find different SUV to replace the damaged one we have now. Check out the 4 recalls and 150 service bulletins. Not too impressive for a $50,000 vehicle.

  My third Denali but not my last - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By Wilich - December 1 - 8:21 pm

  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.

  I love my Yukon! - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By pen - October 18 - 11:44 am

  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 YukonYoshii - August 28 - 11:43 pm

  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 Mike - August 25 - 1:31 am

  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.

  Good Family vehicle - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By Ray - August 8 - 6:03 pm

  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.

  Finally, an improved interior - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By Family Great - July 16 - 9:33 am

  I have always owned a GMC Jimmy/Yukon, and through the years any issues I have had with one-to-the-next has been improved on, such as the interior. When Yukonss first debuted, the interior seemed to be "not completed" with rough edges, exposed door mounts, and open galleys where it looked like it was meant for something. Now to the warranty, after about 40,000 miles it seems to go to pot. from the computer sensor chips to powertrain problems, this last Yukon has been in service 3 times for the same recall. This is why every three years I trade it in.

  Yukon on the go - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By yukonjack9408 - June 6 - 5:10 pm

  This is my third Yukon, and in some ways, it is the best one. The fuel mileage is good for the size of the vehicle. Its great as far as comfort ane room. I still want the little things, such as the tape player, the little storage compartments that have been available in the past, and the double sunvisor that was in my 03 model. Overall, its a great car. Keep up the good work, but lower the price, and you would truly have a winner! Yours truly, a happy owner

  Macho SUV! - 2005 GMC Yukon
  By Sir helsing - May 12 - 5:54 pm

  My Denali has pleased me. It has never broken down due to mechanical failure. It sounds and feels like a Corvette, well for a vehicle of that size. It is stout to say the least .All the while my wife and children can enjoy a luxurious ride to school and the grocery store. The Denali is the SUV of choice.
