Overview & Reviews

The Yukon XL gets a new top-of-the-line engine in addition to more horsepower for the 6.0-liter V8. Debuting this year is the Yukon Denali XL, which gets a new engine along with standard all-wheel drive and a host of other new features designed to elevate the top-of-the-line GMC above and beyond its more basic Yukon cousin.

• Unmatched interior space, strong V8-engine lineup, extensive list of available features, standard all-wheel drive on Denali XL, luxurious interior.

• Interior fit-and-finish concerns, standard Yukon XL still too similar to the Chevy Suburban.

  3/4 ton Yukon XL w/ a 496 V8! - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By VCCole - February 6 - 3:20 pm

  Interior is awesome, but I have leather. Its hot/cold and your butt doesnt stay in place, it s slick. Build quality is amazing. Was hit from behind at 35mph (I was at a dead stop) and 1/2 ton Toyotas front end was nearly non existant. My bumper had a slight dent. These are tanks! The transmission slips once in a great while. GM needs to work on that problem. No breakdowns.

  Great vehicle ... - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By KenMosher - October 29 - 6:40 pm

  I bought my 2001 GMC Yukon XL 2500 used. Initially I didnt think that I wanted a 3/4 ton truck, but it drove a lot nicer than my 1993 GMC Suburban 1/2 ton! It has smooth power, awesome towing capacity, great 4WD capability, and a cavernous interior. I really like the 3rd seat fold up feature. Its much easier to remove than in my old Suburban. It tows my 6,000 pound car trailer (loaded) effortlessly and I really like the easy "plug and play" style attachment for my electronic trailer brake controller. The only problem that Ive had was the rear heater coolant line rubbed against the frame and had a pinhole leak that took the dealer three trips to diagnose and fix (under the Certified Preowned warranty program). This is a great all around utility vehicle!

  YukonXL - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By Melrod - August 17 - 8:13 pm

  The 2001 Yukon XL is extremely comfortable and powerful. The interior is perfect fit and feel for the driver and plenty of room for the kids and cargo. I have the 2500 series and the ride is still smooth, but a bit stiff. With the 6.0, 315 HP engine, there is plenty of power, but you pay for it in gas, about 15 MPG. I would highly recommend the purchase. Adding a TV and DVD Player keeps the kids really quiet and makes trips effortless.

  2001 Xukon XL - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By Wayne Black - May 23 - 11:33 pm

  Simply the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned over 35 vehicles from 2 seater Mercedes convertibles to 1 ton pickups and every thing inbetween and if I have my way I will never drive anything but a Yukon XL again.

  Great Tow Vehicle - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By MichaelGT - May 2 - 2:00 am

  I have the K2500 with the 8.1L engine. It will haul our 8000lb trailer with ease. Is comfortable for the 4 kids. Gas mileage is around 12 mpg (@75mph). Less when towing. Great vehicle.

  Yukon XL - Best value for the Money - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By TRL - June 26 - 10:00 am

  I have owned 3 Suburbans/Yukon-XL vehicles since 1995. I currently own a 2001 Yukon-XL. It drives like the luxury vehicle it is, yet has great power for towing & mobility of a much smaller vehilcle. THe ride is very comfortable and I have had no maintenance problems WHAT-SO-EVER.

  Comfortable Family Travel & Good Towing - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By Driver Don - July 31 - 10:00 am

  The whole family enjoys traveling in this vehicle, lots of room and comfort for long drives. Amazed at how manueverable in parking spots, its better than my smaller Jimmy. We have put on 35,000mi, 5000mi of it pulling a 4000lb boat with our full vehicle. The XL is great for towing, with good range on a tank of gas. Only complaint we have had is when we experienced an icy draft on the passengers legs when up North, we think we have it fixed after two tries, next test will be this Christmas when we head to Canada.

  Our Black Knight - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By BlackKnight - July 6 - 10:00 am

  The Yukon XL is a delight, both in town and on the highway. Much to our surprise, it is more maneuverable than our Lincoln Town Car. Outward visibility is also excellent. Great road height and stability in cross wind situations gives us heightened confidence in bad weather situations. The Yukon will be in the family fleet for many years.

  Pleased owner - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
  By mear - October 6 - 2:00 am

  Excellent performance with surprising economy given the 6.0 L engine and full-time AWD. Exceptionally quiet down the road even at 70+mph; can caryy on a conversation at normal levels between driver and third-row passengers. Outstanding front and rear A/C and heater system. Great stereo, especially the in-dash 6-CD changer. Great tow vehicle for big or small boats. Onstar is very handy, too.
