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.

A Little Worried - 2003 GMC Yukon
By a little concerned - October 24 - 2:00 amI bought this car on 10/11/03. I read all the reviews on here and became skeptical after reading stories about how poorly made these trucks are. The discounts and financing deals on the Denali were too good to pass up so I decided on the Denali. I think I may have made a huge mistake. The car has been in the shop for the past 7 days. It has engine noise coming through the speakers. They say they have figured out the problem, but I truly believe I will be back in the shop again very soon. I highly suggest that anyone who is thinking about buying a SUV to buy a foreign SUV. Did I just make a $50,000 mistake?

MORE SPACE AND AGILILTY - 2003 GMC Yukon
By GODUMS - October 19 - 2:00 amTHE 2003 YUKON DENALI IS BOTH SPACIOUS AND HAS GREAT HIGHWAY AGILITY. HAS BEEN BY FAR THE BEST LARGE SUV I PERSONALLY HAVE DRIVEN YET. SMOOTH AND COMFORT WITH LARGE FAMILIES IN MIND FOR SAFETY IS ONE OF THE SELLING FETURES. THE MAINTENCE THAT IS EXPECTED ALSO HELPS MAKE THIS CAR A EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR THOSE WHO WANT A CAR TO LAST.

2003 Yukon Xlnt Ride - 2003 GMC Yukon
By motorman - October 12 - 2:00 amI am very surprised by the smooth ride of this large SUV. (2003) I dont even feel the speed bumps in my neighborhood. It is extremely quite, the AC is cold (I live in AZ). The turning radius is incredibaly small, which is not the case with my Chevy full size pickup. I get about 15 mpg around town. But, I believe that will improve with age, as have all my previous vehicles. Only complaint, the doors dont have that heavy feel or sound when I close them, but thats minor. The high profile view around town is an asset. I would definately buy another one, in fact my wife bought a Tahoe a few weeks after I got the Yukon.

Great vehicle - 2003 GMC Yukon
By saplumr - October 10 - 2:00 amI tow a 20 7500lb car trailer throughout east coast and my Denali never misses a beat. Great pulling power over mountains. Fuel mileage is not good, but a trade off I will gladly take. I love this vehicle.

Excellent Truck - 2003 GMC Yukon
By Joann OToole - September 12 - 2:00 amI am so happy with my Yukon. I was undecided between the Sequoia and the Yukon and I know I made the right choice. The ride is very smooth and non truck like and the performance has been excellent. I dont know why people rate the interior design so low because I think its very nice. Much nicer than the cheep looking brown paneling in the Sequoia. I just cannot say enough about my Yukon. I always purchase foreign and decided to give an american vehicle a try and I am so glad I did because its an excellent truck!

Denali review - 2003 GMC Yukon
By jobki - September 6 - 2:00 amThe first time I climbed in my Denali to test drove it, I knew I had to have it. It is so comfortable to drive- even for a woman. Many cars are built for an average sized man. If you are an an average sized woman then its hard to find such a comfortable riding car. I have had only minor warranty work done on it, therefore it has been extremely reliable. Most importantly, I feel totally safe driving it. It handles well for an SUV except I notice that when I turn a sharp curve, like when exiting the freeway, the tires squeel. Anyway, I would buy another one when this one gets old!
