Overview & Reviews

Despite numerous 2003 upgrades, there's not much different on the outside other than optional multifunction mirrors and new machined aluminum wheels for SLT models. Inside, you'll find tri-zone climate controls, an enhanced driver-information center and a redesigned center console and instrument panel. Satellite steering wheel controls are now optional (standard on Denali models) as are second-row captain's chairs. New entertainment options include a Bose audio system, as well as XM Satellite Radio and a DVD-based entertainment system. For increased safety, there are a standard front-passenger sensing system, three-point belts for all second-row passengers, adjustable pedals and an available StabiliTrak stability control system. GMC also upgraded the braking system for better pedal feel and performance and retuned the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system for better efficiency and less binding at low speeds. Finally, Yukons sold in California are fitted with a new catalytic converter that earns the truck ULEV certification.

• Strong engines, roomy and versatile interior, rugged chassis, numerous available amenities.

• Spotty build quality, interior materials could be better.

  3rd Denali--Getting Ready for 4th - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By Stan Arnold - September 13 - 2:00 am

  My wife was used to driving cars...until I got her into a GMC Denali. Now I cannot get her out of this vehicle! All of the features and benefits. I have sunroof and captains chairs as options. Everything else is standard! No mechanical/warranty problems in the previous 3 I have owned.

  2003 Satisfied Owner - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By Bernard - August 5 - 2:00 am

  My native Floridian 2003 4x2 SLT handled 8" of Green Bay snow without a slip. Traction control works. No rattles or noises after my 3,000 mile trip. Acceleration and steering are at the top of the class. Very quiet and comfortable traveler. I would recommend this vehicle.

  Denali - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By srt671 - July 19 - 2:00 am

  I am very pleased with the towing capacity of my Denali. I am displeased with the interior, it seems cheap. I am also displeased with the dealerships not offering loaner cars when your 50k vehicle is in the shop. We have had a noise in the steering wheel every time you turn left. The thing is almost a year old and the problem is still not corrected. The trim on the dash is starting to flake off. But other than that we have been very happy with it. We will be trading it in in Jan. 05, We will not be getting another one. Looking at the Lexus, Escalde, and Navigator.

  First Yukon and not the last - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By freqmgr - June 24 - 2:00 am

  This SUV has exceeded expectations. It handles very well (yes, we had another makers SUV before), has been totally reliable. The mileage meets or slightly exceeds what GM said to expect. Just an all around pleasure to drive. Now we need to find the free time to enjoy more road trips.

  Denali - - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By Dag - May 24 - 2:00 am

  Bought the truck new in Feb 2003. Loved it for the first 500 miles, then it started falling apart, Everything has been repaired but it took numerous.. did I say numerious, I meant countless trips to the service dept. From 500 - 25000 nothing but service. From 25000 - Now. much better. Very nice look, sweet! Like it enought not to part with it yet, wouldt buy another one.

  Total Lemon - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By East Texas - May 21 - 2:00 am

  Been in the shop 7 times in a year. Awful vehicle. Awful quality. Problems since day one. Very disappointing. This vehicle is a complete hunk of junk. Front end problems. Transmission problems. Steering problems. Interior plastic is popping off. Seat covers are coming off and coming apart. Paint is chipping off of all knobs.

  Best of Show - Yukon - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By campertom - May 3 - 2:00 am

  Having owned a variety of vehicles and makes (Jeep, Ford, Volvo, Olds, Isuzu, Porsche, VW - and driven most others) Ive been fortunate never to run across a lemon but could always easily produce a "wish" list of what could have been better. This Yukon is near perfection - very comfortable, powerful, and looks great! I cant wait for my next one!

  Near Perfect - 2003 GMC Yukon
  By walters - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Besides being an incredible gas guzzler, this is an awesome vehicle, (short bus).Do not buy for "primary vehicle" or cuz "Ill look cool in a Denali" vehicle. Cuz for one,a Denali is ONLY efficient and sufficient to own as a primary vehicle when your second car is a 14 seater stretch Hummer limo, and no, you probably dont look as cool as you think you do rollin in your Denali cuz most of the people that even realize that it is a Denali and not a Tahoe, are to busy thinking about how cool THEY are rollin in a Denali. Most people that can appreciate how sweet,cool and expensive a Denali is have one themselves.
