Overview & Reviews
The Yukon XL gains numerous functional enhancements for 2003. The Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system is now available on 3/4-ton models for increased maneuverability and better stability when towing, while 1/2-ton versions now offer the Stabilitrak stability control system. Also this year, buyers get a choice of two new optional exterior mirrors: a multifunction power fold-away version with puddle lamps and integrated turn signal lights or extended camper mirrors that are also power foldable. The interior gets numerous upgrades that include tri-zone climate control, an enhanced driver-information center and a redesigned center console and instrument panel. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls are now optional, as are second-row captain's chairs and power adjustable pedals. A revised lineup of entertainment options offers buyers a Bose audio system as well as XM Satellite Radio and a DVD-based entertainment system. Finally, for increased safety, the Yukon XL now features a standard front-passenger-sensing system, dual-stage airbags and three point seatbelts for all positions in the first and second rows.
- Huge interior space, strong V8-engine lineup, Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, extensive list of available features.
- Some cheap interior materials considering the price, questionable build quality.

Prolonged Old Design - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
By Unser - December 17 - 10:00 amA first cousin with the Suburban, these vehicles ride real smooth on highways due to its weight. It is also its drawback. Low fuel economy, inflexible seating arrangement although its roomy. 2nd row Seats dont recline. Third row seats have to be taken out of vehicle to achieve space while the 2nd row folds flat. May need some interior and exterior design to optimize comfort and practicality.

Once again America Fails - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
By laxman - April 8 - 10:00 amI have my Yukon XL for 22 months. I am dissapointed in the build on the truck. I have a problem with the front end rattling after 15,000 miles. Also, the middle seat froze on me and needs a new seat riser. The best is that the dealer knows that the front end is an occurance with most 2003s. They did not have the part and said it would take a week. well 2 weeks later I call up and still no part. I guess when its under warranty, they dont want to fix the problem. I have to hound them for the part!!! I wish Toyota or Nissan would make a truck as big so I could byu!!
