Overview & Reviews
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.
- Powerful V8 lineup, roomy cabins, extensive list of standard features.
- Interior fit-and-finish concerns, still too similar to the Chevy Tahoe.

Excellent SUV - 2002 GMC Yukon
By walywrld1 - November 10 - 2:00 amCannot overstate how pleased I am with my Yukon. Traded a 00 Expedition and without hesitation, the Yukon is a far superior. It is more powerful and responsive, excellent engine (5.3L). It rides firmer (a positive) and handles better. It gives better gas mileage with a larger engine. I say again, excellent engine. Transmission shifts are un-noticable. Great room, front and back (dont have the 3rd seat, didnt want, my 3rd seat in my Expy stayed in the basement all the time). I like the dash and interior, great seats. This is a comfortable truck that is solid as a rock. I even compared to the 03 Expy and found the Yukon still superior.

Lots of Bugs - 2002 GMC Yukon
By totally - September 7 - 2:00 amHave had nothing but problems. With 4000 miles the car has been in the shop more then 5 times. Electrical problems are the most prevelent and the dealership has had a hard time replicating the problems. GM Customer Assist has been no help and the local reps concern was only that I was not stranded on the highway. Otherwise he concluded the warranty is working.

2001 Yukon - 2002 GMC Yukon
By joneske98 - June 6 - 2:00 am2001 XL 4x4 Yukon 5.3 LT Drive train handles the gvwr of 7200lbs very well, with such a heavy vehicle my wife and I are satisfied with gas mileage 14 city/17 hwy (note havnt had on interstate yet hoping for a little better mileage on the open road), creature comforts are nice, children love the factory installed tv/vcr really nice on trips. Havent had opurtunity to use 4x4 yet but from the looks of teh way it is designed, looks indestructable. Will likely purchase extended warranty off internet as we draw closer to end of factory one ~ $1200.

If theres a better truck........ - 2002 GMC Yukon
By ssd2000 - June 5 - 2:00 amActually a 2001 but Edmunds doesnt have a field for 01 Denalis. Truck now has 30,000 miles, and thus far has been flawless. Plenty of power and averages .5 mpg less than a mid-size V8 Jeep. Friends say "nicest vehicle theyve ever rode in". If you doubt Air Suspension, test ride a Denali and Yukon back to back. If you cant tell the difference, then save yourself $8,000 and buy the Yukon.

Great Truck - 2002 GMC Yukon
By Postman - May 11 - 2:00 amI am very happy with my new Yukon. The ride is great. I cant believe how quiet the drive train and tires are. Speaking of tires - what is up with putting Firestone tires on? This is an extremely comfortable highway cruiser. The power is there if you need a quick jump from 65-80 to pass someone. Visibility is good. I would recommend to anyone who wants a full size SUV. This is a very nice, competent package

Excellent Ride - 2002 GMC Yukon
By marshal - May 3 - 2:00 amGreat ride, excellent handling. Well built vehicle. I found the turning radius and steering of this vehicle much better than the GMC Jimmy, although that was a smaller model. The headroom and elbow room in the front seat is excellent. Very spacious.
