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.

  • Awesome SUV! - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    my husband and i are looking to save money on gas. Everything about this SUV has been wonderful. I did give it a 9 in fuel economy only because its what we expected when we bought a V8 SUV. This car run smoothly, handles accurately and have been a wonderful car for the last 2 years.

  • Not Too Shaby - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I bought a used Yukon (certified). Best vehicle I have ever owned. Great engine, but it sucks gas if you dont use it properly by constantly being impressed by the sudden influence of power. The captains chairs in the front are very comfortable. Music radio okay. I was very worred about the 2WD feature since I was trading a 4wd vehicle. The stability control is acceptable on this vehicle and the vehicle is heavy enough to provide enough traction on snow covered roads and heavy side street snow. Very impressive. It doesnt snow that much in Dayton so it will be hardly missed. better gas mpg than the 4wd i am sure.

  • Yukons are Great ! - 2002 GMC Yukon

    Outstanding, solid vehicle. 19 MPG on the highway was a nice surprise as well for a vehicle this weight and size.

  • Just a Little More Help - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Great vehicle to drive and ride. Even the little wife likes to drive and loves to ride. Easy to see out all around. Turns and parks well for a large SUV.

  • Clunks/Knocks - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    The Yukon has alot of good qualities, Handeling ride,power(5.3), appearance. It does however, need serious attention in some areas, Drive train "Clunks" shifting 2/3(see GMC tech Memo), Engine "Knocks" on cold starts (see GMC Tech Memo). Sadly GMC proudly considered these NORMAL. Customer Service is really Non- Existent (Although Polite)

  • Excellent Yukon 4x4 - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We have 2 kids and plenty of room in our Yukon to haul them, their stuff and our stuff as we travel up and down the coast line from NY to Fl to visit their grandparents. Also have the ability to haul as many as 9 occupants, which comes in handy when the uncles and aunts come along too.

  • Great Truck - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Moved up from Ford F150 Super Crew 4x4 the Yukon seats should be in the living- room! GMC rides more luxurious. Only miss the higher torque, but Yukon has sufficient power (5.3L definately recommended). Couldnt be happier - dont know why everyone doesnt drive one of these SUVs. Interior storage compartment space is lacking, but handling more than makes up for this slight flaw.

  • 02 Yukon - 2002 GMC Yukon

    This is my second since 2000 and I love this truck. Gets good gas mileage for a v8 as well. Will own another one.

  • My Yukon - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Strong motor and trans. Interior plastic parts leave lots to be desired. Totally plastic dash tends to rattle. Copmfortable ride. Low road noise but some air noise around windows. Runs like and bear. Exterior styling lends itself well to cosmetic upgrades.

  • Excellent S.U.V. - 2002 GMC Yukon
    By -

    Our Yukon is a excellent ride, fun to drive, easy to park in city traffic and the on-star communications system on board is a safe feeling knowing that if your in a severe accident with air bag deployment and can not respond, help will be coming. G.M.C. may want to consider replacing the engine cooling fans with electric fans to assist with better fuel milage.
