Overview & Reviews

A two-wheel-drive two-door Yukon becomes available. A new 5700 Vortec V8 gets long-life coolant and spark plugs, as well as a hefty bump in power and torque. Passenger car tires on less stout Yukons result in a softer, quieter ride. Rear heat ducts, illuminated entry, and height-adjustable seatbelts debut. Four-wheel-drive models get an optional electronic shift mechanism.

  orginal owner/wish they still offered 2dr Z71 model! - 1996 GMC Yukon
  By jrr11 - October 15 - 12:44 pm

  I have 165,000 miles on my 96 4x4 2dr Yukon I bought new in late 1996. Ive never had any major problems with this truck and it just keeps on going. I did buy a replacement"life time waranty" GM starter and alt early on...that was a good move as i have gone through 3 alternators over the 15 yr span. Only minor repairs to what has been the most reliable vehicle ive ever owned. I get offers all the time to sell it as the 2 door models are becoming rare. I love this short wheel base 4x4, as it goes through about anything. I cant believe GM does not offer a short wheel base 2 dr 4x4 SUV with honest off road capability anymore. There are a lot of us that still covet them!

  I love it anyway - 1996 GMC Yukon
  By Betsy - December 12 - 2:03 am

  Bought my truck new 9 1/2 years ago... now has 148,000 miles on it... Up until this year, had very few repairs, but this year, I have replaced brakes, alternator, battery and the fuel pump twice. Just spent $1300 to get rid of a "Service engine soon" light, and I still have the light... So I get my 2nd fuel pump this week. Other than that, I love my truck, but feel it may not be as reliable as Id like... May need to buy new. It also eats a ton of gas!

  Great Truck - 1996 GMC Yukon
  By Agejones - July 20 - 2:00 am

  Great Truck has over 237,000 miles on the truck. Even with that many miles still getting over 17 mpg in combined city/hwy driving. Replaced all normal wear items without incident. Tranny and engine still going strong even when pulling a 5000lb horse trailer. Some electrical bugaboos but nothing major. (ie lights in dash etc.) Truck will probably last another few years and then will consider buying a lower mileage example as a replacement.

  I may keep it for 10 years and spend no more than 2-4K$ and be very happy at that.

  !996 Yukon - 1996 GMC Yukon
  By macadoodle - November 11 - 2:00 am

  We have over 100,000 miles on our 1996 SLT and have driven it from coast to coast with no major problems other than brake replacement every 15 to 20 thousand miles. Its been a dream to drive and very comfortable for a large vehicle. Im looking forward to many more trouble free miles.

  Disappointed Owner - 1996 GMC Yukon
  By John Green - August 27 - 2:00 am

  The GMC was wonderful before it hit 100000 miles. However, once the Yukon reached 100,000 miles the trouble started. Ill probably trade in the coming months.
