  My Old Truck - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By Jill - September 5 - 4:46 am

  My 2000 Denali now has 147k on it and I still love it! This is the most comfortable truck Ive ever owned, not sure what Ill do when the time comes that it has to be retired. Ive only had to do minor repairs to my vehicle, very reliable. I am having an issue with the headlights, does anybody know if there is a way I can put bi-xenon in, and if so where would I get them? Thanks.

  Great work truck with style/comfort - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By jcb77 - June 20 - 2:00 am

  Bought new, drive 20K+ yearly. I have filled both the inside and top with lumber and other heavy items and it didnt miss a beat. No major problems after driven 83,000 miles. Will buy another one when I have to, without hesitation, and recommend it to anyone.

  Cant beat an American Truck - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By Portmanblaze - June 10 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck with 80k miles on it knowing that the old 350 had a lot more time left. We make trips to Michigan several times a year from the East coast and you can hardly feel the ride in this truck. All passengers are comfortible and have plenty of room to strech out. This truck also stands out in a crowd b/c of its trim pkg from the factory. However the truck could use larger sway bars to prevent roll and something to prevent pitching when braking.

  Still going strong! - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By Kim - March 20 - 10:03 am

  This car has hauled our family, towed campers, and overall had reasonable maintenance costs. I gave it an 8 for fuel economy, although I only get 12-15 mpg, because I think it performed well in this regard considering its weight and engine power. A Denali really does ride much better than a regular Yukon. To me there is no comparison.

  Very Poor Denali - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By none - January 11 - 4:43 am

  This is for a 2004 Denali with nothing but problems. Dealers cannot find and fix the shaking and the wandering on these vehicles and are denying a problem even exists. It appears the frames or the design of these vehicles are in question and appear to drive very unstable down the road. Not all Denalis have this problem but there are a lot that do. I feels like you are driving down a bumpy road when the road is not. read the forums at http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com I can deal with the paint problems on the console and the Speedometer issues and all the cosmetic stuff, but I cannot deal with the real problems like bad welds in the frames and the wobbling down the road. I will never buy GM

  Denali - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By Glen Amger - December 31 - 2:00 am

  Good power, great handling for a vehicle of this size, AWD helps in this regard in all weather. Power adjustable seat with heat quite the pleasure, along with reclining second row seating for longer trips. Gas milage suffers due to large engine, but much better than previous owned 4x4 Durango. Great ride!

  Great ride, but.........Heated seat went out on drivers side about 1.5 years after purchase and to fix, seat has to be pulled apart, a part replaced, and the seat restitched. The process has to be performed at a reupholsterers shop. Time,time, time. Brakes a problem,too. Master cylinder had to be replaced within 6 months. Brakes need to be replaced or serviced about every other time, "because the vehicle is so heavy." Now, appears to be problem with coolant system. Vehicle is about 3.5 years old.( Im looking at a Toyota Sequoia.) Also, the "barn door" configuration in the back takes getting used to. It splits and hinders your vision.

  Off Road Use Comments - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By Bruce Beighle - May 19 - 10:00 am

  I have driven my 2000 GMC Yukon Denali in rough offroad conditions throughout the northern Rockies. At ~28k miles the transmission failed and was replaced (~$1500), at ~38k miles the fuel system failed and 4 main components were replaced (~$900), at 52k miles the front alignment pin & boots had to be replaced, uneven tire wear forced replacement of 4 new tires within 20k miles (~$500), a cracked plastic front grill was replaced (~$700) and several body parts have fallen off. In summary, this vehicle has been a very expensive lemmon and we cant wait to replace it with a more reliable and better built vehicle (e.g. Toyota 4Runner or Nissan Pathfinder).

  Heaven on Wheels - 2000 GMC Yukon Denali
  By harry - May 16 - 2:33 am

  Its heaven on wheels. The Vortec 6000 engine, luxurious leather captain seat, and bucket seats are remarkable. The exterior is so well finished and it is just so fun to drive. Its acceleration is out of this world considering it is a full sized SUV. My opinion, if you dont have get one!
