  • 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.

  • 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.

  • denali - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I love my new 2005 Denali. We looked at the Escalade also, but finally realized that the Denali was an overall better deal. it has all the same features of the Escalde without its significantly higher price.

  • Great Luxury SUV - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Replaced a BMW X5 with an 05 Yukon Denali. Very different vehicle. The BMW was excellent, but lacked space. The Denali has plenty of room and is very luxurious. With the GM family pricing it was a no-brainer. A great choice for anyone looking for room and "stealth" luxury and who is not too concerned with gas mileage. Spring for the sunroof/nav/rear DVD package - its well worth the extra cost.

  • One SUV does it all - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We are happy with our Denali, and it has surpassed all our expectations. We will keep buying the GMC Denali. We are a family of 7 children and adults. The ride is wonderful, in the front or back of the SUV. The movies are great, the wireless are the bomb as my grandkids called them. We feel safe on the road, sunshine or rain. A plus, we can pull our boat to the lake. This is one SUV that will do it all.

  • Wife Chose this over LR3 - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We test drove 3 vehicles, the Denali, the SRX V6 Cadillac, and the LR3. I kind of preferred the LR3, but the wife likes how "cushy" the Denali is. In truth, the Denali is much more comfortable for driver and passanger. I just like the fact that the LR3 is so tough. Well, it was for her so we got the Denali instead. We love it. 5 days into it and It is awesome. By the way the Cadillac is a piece of junk, to small and no power. also the v6 SRX was going to cost more than my Denali. Our Denali has Sunroof, Nav, and Rear Seat Entertainment. I recommend this package for anyone. The SRX had only a sunroof.

  • my second Yukon is awesome!!! - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I previously owned a 2001 GMC Yukon which was very nice and rode very well even with 126,000 miles on it! I decided to buy a 2004 in December since the rebates were very good and I absolutely love it! This vehicle has so many improvements from my original vehicle and have 30,000 miles on it without a single problem. I will continue to purchase GMC Yukons as a work and pleasure vehicle for years to come. Drive one today and you will not be dissapointed!

  • What is there not to love? - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    This is absolutely one of the best SUVs GM has ever built. I have owned a 96, 99, 00, 02, and now a 05. They keep getting better each year. These trucks offer so much room and drive just like a car. The truck is very versatile and will continue to buy these trucks. I put 70,000 miles on it and I swear to God that nothing ever went wrong with it. I treated the truck well and vice versa. I own a mint 86 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, which floats down the road, but this Yukons ride is pretty hard to beat. Turning radius is sharp and the handling is great. I took a 500 mile trip a couple weekends ago and got 19.8 mpg, cruising at 60 mph. If you are considering an SUV, buy a Yukon.

  • Outstanding truck - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Ive owned a truck of one kind or another since 1972 including Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet. This is my second GMC and by far the best since my Dodge Power Wagon of decades ago. It has the looks, style, power and toys to keep me entertained and safe on the road. The AWD surprised me with its performance in the snow. It has great ground clearance for off road use, but it is more comfortable on the highway than a limo. The enterainment and nav system by Bose is expensiv,e but worth every penny, and its touch screen programming is easy to use. The whole rig seems custom built for my 250 pound frame.

  • Bst Vehicle Ive ever owned - 2005 GMC Yukon
    By -

    It is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned, and I have been very surprised with the great mileage I have been getting for such a large vehicle. It has lots of great options with the third row seat for hauling kids and cargo. Very solid ride. The dealership I bought this at is the best one I have ever dealt with.
