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.

  Some problems with my Yukon - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By cboshdave - July 1 - 8:06 pm

  Overall, it has been an decent vehicle. Although, my transmission went out at 42,000 miles requiring a replacement. My biggest gripe is the emergency brake. We need it on boat ramps and it just doesnt work. It is a weird system with separate ebrake pads. I usually do this work myself. I guess I am going to have to break down and take it in.

  6 years later and i still love it - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By brian - June 25 - 12:03 am

  I love the interior with its attention to detail. The exterior just commands attention and it has plenty of power. I pull a 6200 lb. camper with ease. In 136,437 miles I’ve had two problems. One with the drive line ($500) and the other with the air conditioner ($900). And the Bose system is one of the best factory sound systems that I have ever heard.

  Best truck for the money! - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Vinny - December 10 - 12:05 am

  I have owned my 01 Yukon for about 2 years now and it has been very good to me. I currently have 66k miles and do about 12,000 a year and it gets reasonably good gas mileage for its size. I push the truck a little hard and it still gets 15 mpg(higher if I drive more conservatively). Overall I love the Yukon. It looks great, drives very nice, even with aftermarket 20 wheels and 11 wide tires, and it never has any issues. Just do the average scheduled maintenance and the truck will run forever. 4X4 takes on the New England snow with ease, which is great because I usaully have to leave my house before the roads are plowed. I would definitely buy another GM full-size SUV. The best!

  Nice Truck - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By dekenney - September 2 - 5:48 pm

  Sold wifes 93 Ford Explorer and bought her the 01 Yukon with 76K miles. Quite a bit bigger than the Explorer, and she loves it. 4wd system works great. 3rd row of seats come in handy, and fold easily. Very comfortable for any distance of driving. Why buy foreign when these work well, have more comfort, and dont cost an arm and leg to repair?

  Long term plans have changed! - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Eakin - April 29 - 11:10 am

  It has been a good vehicle for trips with riding comfort, low noise level, and interior room. I had an A/C problem that took a week to fix. I had planned on keeping this vehicle long term until I recently had a brake failure resulting in my crashing into the rear of another vehicle. I have been discussing this problem with GM but without results.

  Overall Good Vehicle - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Robert - January 5 - 11:27 pm

  We bought this car when it was a year old. It had 30,000 miles. It was great up until about a month ago. at 90,000 miles the water pump went($600) then the heater went out($300) And then after having all this repaired and EGR Valve went out. The dealer told us it wasnt under warranty and it would cost $1200 to fix. I expect some wear and tear on the vehicle. So overall its been great.

  Great vehicle all around - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By farrell - May 26 - 3:06 pm

  I have really enjoyed my Yukon so far, although I have only owned it for about 8 months. No major problems so far as the person that owned it before me took really good care of it.

  By dnewman - October 14 - 2:00 am

  all three vehicles i have owned have been gmc. i love the product but this time im skeptical. i love my yukon but have had a few problems since i bought it used in feb. Already had to replace fan belts, catalytic converter, O^2 sensor on exhaust, a/c compressor and that took four different trips to dealership. still have a popping noise when turning and random times during acceleration and stopping there are one or two clicking noises. but i love gmc none the less and will keep going with them

  GMC Denali - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Teenybutt - May 11 - 2:00 am

  I love everything about my car except for some of the interior features, which I feel should have been a little more upscale for the price.

  Outstanding Product - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Moose - July 26 - 2:00 am

  I could have bought any vehicle, but the GMC Denali is outstanding! Its ride, quality, raw power, and overall comfort for my family has been excellent. The product quality is superior to any vehicle I have every driven. Also, I am very surprised at how well the dealer takes care of the customer to make sure I am satisfied. It rides like a caddy, tough like a truck. Its very strong and catches the eye of everyone. Gotta love the american ingenuity!!! Absolutely a dream vehicle. My Chinese friends are stunned at the quality. Duck hunting trips have never been better! Unfortunately, my lovely wife likes to drive it!!! Therein lies the problem.
