This Year's Model Updates:

The recently redesigned Yukon is virtually unchanged from last year. The high-level Yukon Denali is now based on the redesigned Yukon introduced last year. The Denali gets a 6.0-liter engine along with standard all-wheel drive and a host of other new features designed to elevate the top-of-the-line GMC above and beyond its more basic Yukon cousin.

Pros:
  • Powerful V8 lineup, roomy and luxurious cabins, extensive list of standard features, standard all-wheel drive in Denali.
Cons:
  • Interior fit-and-finish concerns, regular Yukon still too similar to the Chevy Tahoe.

  • Overall Good Vehicle - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We bought this car when it was a year old. It had 30,000 miles. It was great up until about a month ago. at 90,000 miles the water pump went($600) then the heater went out($300) And then after having all this repaired and EGR Valve went out. The dealer told us it wasnt under warranty and it would cost $1200 to fix. I expect some wear and tear on the vehicle. So overall its been great.

  • Love my Yukon. Buy American -- the best - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    This has been a great vehicle. Very reliable and a joy to drive. Seems to do everything you would expect. To bad more Americans would not wake up and buy this or another fine American made and built vehicle by American owned company... Save our country and just maybe your own job.

  • Yukon problems - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I own a Denali and will trade it in.This vehicle needed brakes and drums at 15k miles with very light use. I had the antilock brake problem fixed twice. There is a recall in effect in Canada because the antilock brake sensor corrodes from road salt leading to activation of the antilock mechanism at low speeds. GM claims the incidence of this in the US is low, but the problem is under investigation by our goverment safety agency. if you have this poblem then file a report with traffic safety or if you are contempalting buying one of these vehicles check to see if your vehicle has had brake problems and if they are corrected. It cost me $500 bucks each time.

  • I Love This SUV! - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle from an individual that was very particular with his vehicles, no chips, swirl marks,etc. I had a 96 Blazer prior to this vehicle, and new I wanted to go bigger. My first love of this vehicle was the overall exterior looks, interior styling, and the powerful drive train. I pull a trailer with 3 motorcyles and recently a skid steer and it pulls remarkably well. The overall handling is great and the turning radius exceeds many cars abilities. I have never been in a vehicle that has as smooth of a ride and as extremely quiet interior. The gas mileage is around 14 in town and 17 on highway, not really too bad. Excellent sound system and rear controls are a nice feature. My wife says "You get what you pay for" and I agree. One test drive and I had to have one!

  • Great vehicle all around - 2001 GMC Yukon

    I have really enjoyed my Yukon so far, although I have only owned it for about 8 months. No major problems so far as the person that owned it before me took really good care of it.

  • SE Kansas Review - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    We have not had any major mechanical problems with this vehicle. Interior light lenses on the doors all came off and had to be re-glued. Replaced hoses, belts, oil changes, etc., at intervals recommended. We are not an off-road family, but took it across the forest roads of Colorado, which made me thankful we had a 4x4. This was a really fun trip. The GMC is worth the extra $500 or so over the Tahoe.

    Yaaaaaaaay! My 2001 GMC Yukon Denali is grrrrreat. I switched to it from a Chevrolet Camaro and I love the additional room, high vantage point, AWD, and added comfort / features that this truck provides.

    Once all the GM "glitches" were worked out in the first year (under warranty), this vehicle has been superb! The engine is fabulous and I get better mileage than with my smaller, Chevrolet Blazer.

  • GREAT SUV - 2001 GMC Yukon
    By -

    I bought this car used to replace a Jeep Grand Cherokee lease. I love it! There is only minimal change in fuel usage from my Jeep and the room and comfort levels far surpass that of the Jeep. Excellent choice in SUV.

    This is a great car with outstanding styling. If i were GM I would not touch a thing. Except maybe make a navigation system an option.
