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.

Love it! - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Misty S - March 23 - 3:03 pmBest vehicle I have owned. Used to love to trade quite frequently, but not anymore. I love my Denali. Gas mileage isnt the greatest but its a big SUV. What can you expect?

2 years with 2008 Denali - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Jay - January 2 - 4:49 pmBest SUV I have owned yet. Last three SUVs were Tahoes and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am innpressed with the creature comforts. After driving, and towing with the 6.2 liter engine I would never go back to the 5.3 liter engine. My commute is mostly highway and I average 16.5 at 70 MPH. 10 MPG towing the boat. Two problems a sticky back door lock and non sticky gas door cover that keeps opening. I have not had the dealer look at them, as I have yet go back to the dealer with 38K miles in two years.

2008 Denali AWD - 2008 GMC Yukon
By lgb - October 30 - 7:12 pmWe first test drove the yukon SLT to replace our 2005 Denali. We never used the rear DVD player or Navigation in our 2005 so we thought we would down grade to the regular Yukon. NOT! Had to go back to the Denali series because the regular yukon didnt compare to the comfort we were used too. So we purchased a 2008 Denali.

2008 Denali Problems - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Sam Samson - July 18 - 12:33 amIve had problems with the electrical systems (door locks, wipers, Navigation system,) and now worst of all the brakes. I went metal to metal on the rears after 33,000 miles. the calipers are failing to retract properly - thus Pads wearing out totally prematurely. Normally a car goes thru 3 sets of front pads to 1 set of rears. Ive had my car serviced by dealerships only, thus far. When they rotate the tires, I ask them to check the brakes since the wheels are already off. Well At the time of last visit to the dealership, (22,363 miles) All was well-- now 11,000 miles later My right rear roter is shot on the inside only due to a defective caliper. What can I do about it????

Misfire Misfire Misfire - 2008 GMC Yukon
By Rob - March 11 - 10:36 amVehicle broke down on us 5 times in less than 6 months, and the dealership could not figure out the problem, or lack of trying to figure out the problem. One day someone got a bright idea to see if any another dealerships are experiencing the same problem, the vehicle will start until it gets hot, but dont turn it off because it wont start up again. Anyhoo, some other dealer was having that same problem and at last it was fixed.

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!

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 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.

Great ride and looks super! - 2008 GMC Yukon
By RWT - April 2 - 7:04 amI 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.
