This Year's Model Updates:

GMC's strong-selling Yukon heads into 2002 with few changes. The 5300 V8 is now ultralow emission certified (ULEV) for California. For states with less restrictive emission requirements, the Yukon offers flexible fuel capability with the use of cleaner burning gasoline blends. A more efficient starter, more durable steering gear housing and LATCH child seat attachments anchors round out the Yukon's upgrades for 2002.

Pros:
  • Powerful V8 lineup, roomy cabins, extensive list of standard features.
Cons:
  • Interior fit-and-finish concerns, still too similar to the Chevy Tahoe.

  • Fantastic Drive - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Have had this vehicle for two months and so far it has been a joy to drive and ride in. It is a very good looking and comfortable vehicle. The power it has coupled with the handling characteristics make it a pleasure to drive. The kids love all the features it has. They can watch movies every where we go.

  • Great Power and Comfort - 2002 GMC Yukon

    I’ve had my 2002 Yukon for 15,000 miles already. Great power (5.3l) and comfort. Excellent room. The ZM9 luxury package is great. Everyone loves the seats.

  • Great Choice - 2002 GMC Yukon

    I swore off GM in the early 90s and have owned a BMW and Volvo since. This truck changed my mind. Its a wonderful vehicle that rides more like a luxury car than a truck. Of the three cars we own, the family always loads into this one. It also has function with this beauty and comfort. It eats up snow, mud, and everything else weve put in front of it. Thought GM had fixed quality problems and also purchased GMC Jimmy... MISTAKE! As good as the Yukon is, the Jimmy is as bad. We are trading that POS in after the winter!

  • Very Pleased - 2002 GMC Yukon

    Great vehicle, quality all around. Ive got the 5.3L engine and its awesome. Not the best on gas, but I knew that before I bought it.

  • Excellent SUV - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Cannot overstate how pleased I am with my Yukon. Traded a 00 Expedition and without hesitation, the Yukon is a far superior. It is more powerful and responsive, excellent engine (5.3L). It rides firmer (a positive) and handles better. It gives better gas mileage with a larger engine. I say again, excellent engine. Transmission shifts are un-noticable. Great room, front and back (dont have the 3rd seat, didnt want, my 3rd seat in my Expy stayed in the basement all the time). I like the dash and interior, great seats. This is a comfortable truck that is solid as a rock. I even compared to the 03 Expy and found the Yukon still superior.

  • If theres a better truck........ - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Actually a 2001 but Edmunds doesnt have a field for 01 Denalis. Truck now has 30,000 miles, and thus far has been flawless. Plenty of power and averages .5 mpg less than a mid-size V8 Jeep. Friends say "nicest vehicle theyve ever rode in". If you doubt Air Suspension, test ride a Denali and Yukon back to back. If you cant tell the difference, then save yourself $8,000 and buy the Yukon.

  • Great Truck - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I am very happy with my new Yukon. The ride is great. I cant believe how quiet the drive train and tires are. Speaking of tires - what is up with putting Firestone tires on? This is an extremely comfortable highway cruiser. The power is there if you need a quick jump from 65-80 to pass someone. Visibility is good. I would recommend to anyone who wants a full size SUV. This is a very nice, competent package
