  • Not bad, but some major mechanical issues..... - 1997 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We have done a LOT of driving in this vehicle. We purchased it about 3 years ago at 107000 miles. I knew that this model was prone to transmission and fuel pump issues when I bought it so that was no surprise when it happened. True to form we did both at about 120000 miles. We did the fuel pump AGAIN at about 160000 miles. We did a radiator & steering box shortly after purchase as well. The interior is ok. The seats arent nearly as comfortable as the Expedition we own. It has a lot of room and can carry a lot gear. All in all its not a BAD vehicle, but I didnt buy another one if that tells you anything...

  • Snow Buster - 1997 GMC Yukon
    By -

    When it comes to going through the deep snow, this vehicle performs with the best of them(providing your tires arent bald). Out on the winter lakes in Wisconsin, your mind is put at ease that your in a Yukon!(see You Tube and search for an Eaton G80) Its comfortable, solid, has sufficient power. Drives like the first day it was purchased. I pull a boat and supply trailer with no problems. I have replaced the fuel pump, repaired the intake gasket @ 60K miles(costly), replaced drivers side door internal linkage, and air conditioner components (condenser, compressor, misc.). The gas mileage isnt great (12/17), but when your out driving in the wicked weather, you realize its money well spent.

  • Great on the Open Road - 1997 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I and 3 other family members took this truck on vaction last summer. It is incredibly comfortable on the open road, and you have a feeling of safety when you drive it. Swallows great amounts of luggage. Took me through deep snow banks this past winter.

  • Hire Power - 1997 GMC Yukon

    I have the Yukon Sport Gt I have nothing but good things to say about it, Comfortible to drive, plenty of room to carry people and cargo..and a very POWERFUL motor. (we like that!) Sexy stylings ..very lean and mean look to it. I have installed a lift kit and larger off road tires. This truck is a keeper.

  • It is OK but sometimes you will hate it. - 1997 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I really wanted one of these when they came out. I got mine in March 1997. I did not have any problems at all until July 1999. The transmission went out on a road trip. Since then it has 3 more transmission. Other than one little fact, this really has been a good vehicle to have. I am about to buy another vehicle but this time it will be a Tahoe insted of a Yukon. Peace Chris
