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.

    Great vehicle. Handles is great for corerning in those tough areas.

  • Very nice, but... - 2002 GMC Yukon

    Last vehicle was a 96 Suburban. Use it to tow a boat. Nice size and handling. Excellent stereo, great climate control in hot weather, rides nice but front seats lack support in our opinion and steering is too light, no road feel. Muffler had to be replaced when heat shield separated. Averaging 13.6 mpg overall.

    Very nice truck.... went from a BMW X5 4.4i because I needed more room and have no regrets so far. Solid looks, style, performance and an exceptionally quiet and refined ride.

    My previous vehicle was a 96 Pathfinder...given the Yukon is a larger vehicle...but the drive is soooo much better. The V8 engine has alot of kick to it, but not too the point where is throws you into the back of your chair. Ive had it 24 hours, and I look forward to the next 100,000 miles with my Yukon.

    GOOD LOOKS POOR FIT ON ASSEMBLY. 13MPG TERRIBLE IN SNOW WILL DONUT ON YOU IN A HEARTBEAT. PENTY OF POWER GOOD SOUND SYSTEM BOSE. TRANSMISSION NEEDS ATTENTION. REAR WIPER JUMPS EVERY TIME YOU DIM HEADLIGHTS OR USE TURN SIGNAL. ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD TAKEOFF DEALER SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. SOUNDS LIKE A ROD COMING OUT.

  • 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!

    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.
