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 truck - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By EMD - December 9 - 2:35 pm

  Bought the Yukon new in Dec. 2001. Drove it for business (mostly highway) to around 180,000 in 2008. Since then my sons have taken the truck to college with them. Now has approx. 215,000. I have always changed the oil between 3-5000 miles. We have only had to do routine maintenance (brakes, belts, tires etc.) The only irritating issue has been the drivers side window motor. Have had to replace this 3 times. Otherwise very, very solid truck. In fact, bought a 2009 Yukon and love it. The key to any car is to keep up with routine maintenance and dont beat it to death. Take care of your car.

  Not Bad for 125,000 miles - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By scott45 - November 21 - 12:01 am

  Call me crazy but I bought a 2002 Denali with 120,000 miles on it. I have had it for two months (5000 miles) and am very pleased. I would have never thought to buy a vehicle with that many miles but the previous owner took exceptional care of this car. The ride is very nice although if the road is bumpy so is the ride. The performance is outstanding. It flat out moves when you give it the gas. My biggest complaint is that the front seat doesnt quite go back far enough. The mileage is at 16 mpg with about 50/50 driving. The cars transmission was rebuilt at 110,000 miles. My mechanic said it was one of the nicest cars he has seen with that high of mileage. Inside and out.

  No problems. No worries. Nice truck. - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By AzMax - June 1 - 2:00 am

  62,500 miles and not a single repair. This is my third vehicle of this type (two Tahoes and one Yukon) and I will buy a forth when Im done with this one. Vortec 5300 is smooth and powerful making it a breeze to merge and pass on the freeway. The tight turning radius (better than a Camry or Accord) makes it equally at home around town. The 2WD is a much better ride than the 4WD version in my opinion.

  Not Too Shaby - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By james cris - January 31 - 2:00 am

  I bought a used Yukon (certified). Best vehicle I have ever owned. Great engine, but it sucks gas if you dont use it properly by constantly being impressed by the sudden influence of power. The captains chairs in the front are very comfortable. Music radio okay. I was very worred about the 2WD feature since I was trading a 4wd vehicle. The stability control is acceptable on this vehicle and the vehicle is heavy enough to provide enough traction on snow covered roads and heavy side street snow. Very impressive. It doesnt snow that much in Dayton so it will be hardly missed. better gas mpg than the 4wd i am sure.

  Outstanding, solid vehicle. 19 MPG on the highway was a nice surprise as well for a vehicle this weight and size.

  Just a Little More Help - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By Meat Head - December 8 - 2:00 am

  Great vehicle to drive and ride. Even the little wife likes to drive and loves to ride. Easy to see out all around. Turns and parks well for a large SUV.

  Clunks/Knocks - 2002 GMC Yukon
  By jmo/mpls - October 22 - 2:00 am

  The Yukon has alot of good qualities, Handeling ride,power(5.3), appearance. It does however, need serious attention in some areas, Drive train "Clunks" shifting 2/3(see GMC tech Memo), Engine "Knocks" on cold starts (see GMC Tech Memo). Sadly GMC proudly considered these NORMAL. Customer Service is really Non- Existent (Although Polite)
