Overview & Reviews
After last year's redesign, the 2008 GMC Yukon sees minimal changes. The 40/20/40-split front bench seat gets built-in storage compartments, side-curtain airbags are made standard across the board and OnStar turn-by-turn navigation becomes standard on the SLT trim.
- Handsome cabin with fine fit and finish, comfortable ride, smooth powertrains, can accommodate up to nine passengers.

Wow! Im impressed! - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Ohio Yukon - January 5 - 7:41 pmI purchased a 2008 4WD GMC Yukon SLE for my wife after she wrecked her 2004 Honda Pilot. We initially were going to purchase another Pilot, however, being the savvy consumer, I also looked at the Dodge Aspen, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave. While we were at the GMC dealer, my wife noticed the Yukon after she test drove the Buick Enclave. We decided to give it a test drive and Wow! was I impressed. Even after just driving a loaded Buick Enclave the Yukon stood out as a more comfortable, smoother, and much more roomy vehicle. Plus with the $8000 dollar cash back incentive coupled with employee pricing it was an easy decision to make.

Awesome Vehicle - 2008 GMC Yukon
By CW - August 26 - 11:28 amThis is a very nice vehicle, my wife loves the smooth ride. I enjoy knowing my family is safe with the AWD stabletrac system. Avg 14 MPG, but I knew that prior to purchasing (a small price to pay for safety and luxury).

Great purchase - 2008 GMC Yukon
By FL Buyer - July 15 - 8:50 pmThis truck rides and looks great! Its been nothing but a pleasure since I purchased it 2 mos ago and I would go back tomorrow and do it all over again. I have three friends that own Escalades and they love my truck especially for $10K less because it drives and looks identical. My other cars are a BMW 750 LI and a BMW 545, but we like driving the truck. Gas mileage is averaging about 14 MPG, but my 7 Series gets only about 20 MPG and the 5 Series gets 18 MPG (both premium) and this truck runs on mid- grade! Go get a good deal on one today!

Denali promises but does not deliver - 2008 GMC Yukon
By skytop - May 29 - 7:35 pmMy 08 Denali Yukon XL SUV came to me after GM lemon lawed my first Denali. So now I have a second one. This one had little problems until yesterday. It suddenly dropped dead on the road. It went completely dead. Absolutely nothing worked including the much vaulted OnAtar. It did not work at all. I had to use my cell phone to call the dealer who called OnStar and after a 2 hour wait, a tow truck came and flatbedded the 2 ton dead whale to the dealer. I am sorely outraged that a 4 week old so called premier vehicle should totally drop dead on the road stranding the occupants. The dealer could not determine what the problem is and now I am once again victimized by GM. Bummer!

Great truck, bad MPG - 2008 GMC Yukon
By kthomas1975 - May 24 - 11:19 pmGreat truck, horrible gas mileage. Ive averaged 15 mpg. This truck has plenty of power, great ride, quiet cabin (except for the roar of my V8 when I accelerate. leg room is great. Im 65" tall, and love to sit in the back with my toddler when my wife drives. I wish I had opted for more options, and the Tahoe is exactly the same truck, but several hundred dollars cheaper similarly equipped at most dealerships. If you dont do long commutes, and have a need for lots of room, you cant go wrong with a Yukon or Tahoe. I have 40,000 miles and have never had any problems.

Great Truck - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Mike - May 13 - 1:37 pmJust so nobody gets confused, after reading all of the other reviews the biggest complaint was fuel economy. I gave fuel economy a 10 because I knew what I was getting into and the fuel economy is expected per the size and weight of the vehicle. I have owned 17 cars and the thus far my 2008 SLT Yukon is the best one. It has a lot of interior space it performs well on the back roads and highways the seats are very comfortable for short and long trips it is fun and easy to drive the all instruments are within arms and easily accessible and the configuration of all instruments are easily learned.

Settled - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Lu - May 11 - 11:40 pmI test drove 6 vehicles before I settled for this one. This one wasnt even my 1st choice but I couldnt pass up the great deal I was getting and so far its been good. The handling is pretty good and fuel economy is what can be expected out of an AWD SUV. The vehicle comes with a lot of standard features(denali) like heated seats, remote start, etc. My only real problem is the 3rd row seat. Does not fold down to the ground and is made for children. Other models like the 2008 Toyota Sequoia and 2008 Lincoln Navigator can sit full grown adults back there and does fold down to the ground and other crossovers of GM do this so why not the full size SUVs.

Great SUV - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Rick - May 3 - 9:52 amWe were putting to many miles on our 2005 Cayenne S and needed a second SUV. After doing tons of research, I found the Denali to be the best value in its class. The ride and comfort are a plus, the 6.2 V8 has a lot of power, but is slow in getting there. The transmission needs improvement, it could be a little smoother. We found the Denali worked best for us on long trips, four adults can travel in sheer comfort.

Perfect Truck - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Ron - April 17 - 9:03 pmLove the Denali. Build quality is much improved. Far more power and even better ride than my previous SUV (Toyota Sequoia) and my 2007 H2.
