This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Handsome cabin with fine fit and finish, comfortable ride, smooth powertrains, can accommodate up to nine passengers.
Cons:

  • Great ride and looks super! - 2008 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I have owned GM vehicles for 15 years now and this is by far the best I have ever had. I owned mostly 2 Chevys until this one. Looked for over 5 months and compared the Tahoe, Ford and Yukon and it was not close. The Yukon just looked and felt better. I saw the Yukon on the road and it always made me stop and look. Gas is hard, but it is for everyone right now. Only complaint I have is the folding 3rd row seat. Dont know if it is just mine but it is difficult to move and almost impossible to replace is removed. Should have looked at power seats there.

    This is my 6th SUV and I must say it is by far the best. Ive only had the Yukon for 2 months and have put 2K miles on it, but so far it has been totally problem free. As it is getting broken in, the performance and gas mileage (currently between 18 and 19) are improving. For its large size it corners really well which I attribute to the stabilizer bars. If put into passing gear around 50, it appears a little anemic, so if I were to do it all over, I may opt for the 5.3 liter or get 3.73 rear end.

    I have owned 3 Chevy Tahoes, I decided to opt for the Yukon this time big difference between my last 2004 Chevy to the 2008 Yukon the ride is great my only drawback is the rear captian chairs it leaves no room for a full grown teenager let alone an adult. GM should consider putting the bluetooth function in but then it would kill the deal with on-star and verizon. I put 22 inch wheels on the car I am getting a little rub with 305/45/22 and the ride has gotten a bit harder. Other than that I am very happy

  • Great SUV from GMC - 2008 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We purchased the GMC 08 Denali after many reviews and this SUV offered the best value compared to the other options,(BMW,Lexus,Ford,etc). We love the way it drives, comfortable layout, nice interior features. If you are looking for 30 MPG, this is not your vehicle. The only negative is the gas mileage but we knew that before buying it. I strongly recommend the GMC Denali if you like great performance (6.2L V-8 for towing),great interior features(heated seats,steering wheel,comfortable seating with lots of room) and nice look (new body style from the 2006 denali). I would recommend one to my friends and family but get a gas card.

  • World Class - 2008 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Ive owned or been around GM products for years. They have evolved over the years into real world class vehicles. This new Yukon is absolutely fabulous. Its huge, but gets reasonable gas mileage for its size. Its quiet, roomy, classy looking and handles well. We considered the Land Rover LR3, but frankly, dont need and wouldnt use the off road capability. The LR3 is a very nice truck with snob appeal. Its certainly no nicer, and certainly does not have the reliability of a GM product. Its expensive, but in line with its competitors. Get the 20" wheels and handling improves impressively.

  • 08 Denali Black/Black - 2008 GMC Yukon

    Just purchased an new 2008 Denali and I am loving this vehicle. The grade of leather and the amount of features make driving almost like flying a jet. Engine has great acceleration and the interior of the car is very plush.
