Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful V8 lineup, roomy and luxurious cabins, extensive list of standard features, standard all-wheel drive in Denali.

• Interior fit-and-finish concerns, regular Yukon still too similar to the Chevy Tahoe.

  $37000 Lemon - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By witch - December 16 - 2:00 am

  Vehicle was great when it was new, but as soon as the warranty expired, many things started to fail. If you decide to make a mistake and buy a GM SUV like I did, make sure you get the extended warranty. This is the last GM vehicle I will ever purchase.

  Tried American, but back with import - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By ptm - October 29 - 2:00 am

  Bought GMC ext warranty because of the high mileage driven. We had a piece of side molding replaced, and the car had a terrible knocking sound when there were high winds. Took dealer several times to find the problem. The water pump failed ($100) at 67K. The auto-down switch failed ($100). Engine de-carb, and fuel inject cleaning at 65K ($300+) for an intermittent hesitation problem. Hinge on the rear window lift- glass failed. Extended warranty would not cover hinges - $793 to repair. Toyota dealer offered us 16K and Carmax offered 14.8K. Wound up taking the dealers offer. We won’t be buying GM products again.

  problematic - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By dnewman - October 14 - 2:00 am

  all three vehicles i have owned have been gmc. i love the product but this time im skeptical. i love my yukon but have had a few problems since i bought it used in feb. Already had to replace fan belts, catalytic converter, O^2 sensor on exhaust, a/c compressor and that took four different trips to dealership. still have a popping noise when turning and random times during acceleration and stopping there are one or two clicking noises. but i love gmc none the less and will keep going with them

  My Denali has been great - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By orwoody - September 1 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 2001 Denali new and have driven it almost 40k miles in just over two years. It is still solid, no rattles, no breakdowns and has had excellent reliability. We love road trips in this rig.

  The best vehicle I have ever owned! - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Snowman - June 4 - 2:00 am

  This is the 2nd Denali I have owned and I dont know how the folks at GMC can top this one! I owned one of the 1st Denalis to come out and had only 2 suggestions to improve that one. 1. More HP! and 2. 4 wheel disc brakes. Both of those items were addressed in the 2001 Denali I have now. My partner and I have 2nd thoughts about even looking at new ones (We have bought 2 of them both times we purchased new cars in the last 5-years).

  2001 Denali - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By MSB - May 29 - 2:00 am

  The Denali is a realpleasure to drive, especially nice on long trips. Mileage is 14.7 religiously. Excellent acceleration! Braking is reliable, but not as quick as it could be. This truck is used on unimproved dirt roads on a regular basis and the sure footedness of all wheel drive is exceptional. Handling feels a bit top heavy at higher speeds. Exterior styling is fantastic. Excellent curb pickup. Inside is soft and quiet. Im looking at a 2003 right now strictly because of colors and features that were not available on my 2001 model.

  GMC Denali - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Teenybutt - May 11 - 2:00 am

  I love everything about my car except for some of the interior features, which I feel should have been a little more upscale for the price.

  Great Truck! - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By jwe - March 20 - 2:00 am

  We love this truck! Got a better deal than on Tahoe, and got the loaded version. Drives like a dream on the highway, plenty of power and pickup. It is sometimes a bit "trucky", but has worked great for towing, family trips with the kids, and even impresses business clients and colleagues.

  What happened to the giant G.M.? - 2001 GMC Yukon
  By Rodgersbuck - February 18 - 2:00 am

  I have been a G.M. owner all my life but this vehicle has made me switch! I noticed a ticking sound coming from the engine right after I bought it. I was told it was "piston slap" by the dealer. After almost two years of waiting for G.M. to figure out a fix to the problem, Im now being told they arent going to fix it- that this condition is normal. It appears the problem is too costly for G.M. to fix so they are just going to ignore it!
