Overview & Reviews
The recently redesigned Yukon is virtually unchanged from last year. The high-level Yukon Denali is now based on the redesigned Yukon introduced last year. The Denali gets a 6.0-liter 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.
- Powerful V8 lineup, roomy and luxurious cabins, extensive list of standard features, standard all-wheel drive in Denali.
- Interior fit-and-finish concerns, regular Yukon still too similar to the Chevy Tahoe.

Yukon problems - 2001 GMC Yukon
By bobrmd - July 29 - 7:18 amI own a Denali and will trade it in.This vehicle needed brakes and drums at 15k miles with very light use. I had the antilock brake problem fixed twice. There is a recall in effect in Canada because the antilock brake sensor corrodes from road salt leading to activation of the antilock mechanism at low speeds. GM claims the incidence of this in the US is low, but the problem is under investigation by our goverment safety agency. if you have this poblem then file a report with traffic safety or if you are contempalting buying one of these vehicles check to see if your vehicle has had brake problems and if they are corrected. It cost me $500 bucks each time.

$37000 Lemon - 2001 GMC Yukon
By witch - December 16 - 2:00 amVehicle was great when it was new, but as soon as the warranty expired, many things started to fail. If you decide to make a mistake and buy a GM SUV like I did, make sure you get the extended warranty. This is the last GM vehicle I will ever purchase.

Tried American, but back with import - 2001 GMC Yukon
By ptm - October 29 - 2:00 amBought GMC ext warranty because of the high mileage driven. We had a piece of side molding replaced, and the car had a terrible knocking sound when there were high winds. Took dealer several times to find the problem. The water pump failed ($100) at 67K. The auto-down switch failed ($100). Engine de-carb, and fuel inject cleaning at 65K ($300+) for an intermittent hesitation problem. Hinge on the rear window lift- glass failed. Extended warranty would not cover hinges - $793 to repair. Toyota dealer offered us 16K and Carmax offered 14.8K. Wound up taking the dealers offer. We wont be buying GM products again.

Wouldnt get another GMC - 2001 GMC Yukon
By Julie1 - July 8 - 2:00 amThis is the worst vehicle Ive ever had. In 15 mos of ownership its gotten 2 new sunroof switches, a new sunroof, a new clock, new radio, new controls in console for rear seat passengers, and has been in for several electrical probs. The dealership has been very accommodating and certainly embarassed. I spoke with the area rep who made it out to be my fault and said these problems could occur in any make of vehicle. Ive owned lots of different makes and have never had this many problems. Im just waiting for the next thing to go wrong.
