This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Yukon features the addition of a tire-pressure monitoring system and newly styled optional 17-inch wheels. A chrome exhaust tip is now standard and the trailering package includes a seven-to-four-pin adapter and electric brake wiring harness. For added safety, the Yukon now features Hydroboost brakes, and there is a front passenger seatbelt reminder. The antenna for the optional XM Satellite Radio is smaller this year, and the rear-seat entertainment system can now be combined with a sunroof. Lastly, the passenger-side exterior door lock has been eliminated.

Pros:
  • Strong engines, roomy and versatile interior, rugged chassis, numerous available amenities.
Cons:
  • Spotty build quality, interior materials could be better.

  • Tough Truck - 2004 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Bought it new. Been very tough on it, towing several tons through the 120° desert. In 2006 I put almost 50k miles on it. Survived some crashes, which, in a smaller car would have caused some major damage. In 2008 it started running funny, occasionally making some wierd sounds and smoke coming out the tailpipe. After it warmed up it was fine. Just recently, at 150k miles we found the problem. One of the valves is sticking. Also, at 130k miles the radiator and A/C began acting up, and it definitely has a leak. Now it makes terrible noises when the motor is cold, and idles at 500 RPM higher than normal under said condition. I feel itll seize up in the next 10k miles, its on its last leg.

    This was our third and last Yukon. This one was a loaded SLT with a 49K price tag. Wifes car, never off the pavement. At 42K miles the transfer case failed. Was at dealer for 3 weeks. At 51K miles, transfer case noise,same problem,another new transfer case. Squeeks and rattles at 32K miles. Electricial issues since the first month. Vehicle loses all preset data. Tire air sensers fail constantly. I will not buy another one. Pathetic fuel economy, but will pull a house.
