Overview & Reviews
The Yukon XL gets a new top-of-the-line engine in addition to more horsepower for the 6.0-liter V8. Debuting this year is the Yukon Denali XL, which gets a new 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.
- Unmatched interior space, strong V8-engine lineup, extensive list of available features, standard all-wheel drive on Denali XL, luxurious interior.
- Interior fit-and-finish concerns, standard Yukon XL still too similar to the Chevy Suburban.

Beware of front differential bearings - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
By mcouch - September 28 - 5:40 amAfter a defect plagued experience with a new 1996 Suburban, I was pleased with the performance/reliability of the 2001 Yukon XL Denali I traded-in for, until hitting 60,000 miles and having the front differential bearings "come apart", according to the dealer; as if that were something I shouldve expected after 60,000 miles! If you are foolish enough to buy a big GMC SUV make sure you trade it in before warranty expires!

Typical American Car - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
By traveller29 - September 17 - 7:16 amThe Yukon XL Denali is over priced. During the first year of ownership, it was in for warranty items more than 5 times. Over the past year, fifth year of ownership and 70,000 miles later, I have spent over $2,500 on maintenance. I just spent over $900 on a faulty abs module today. You would think that if you paid over $50,000 for a vehicle that you would not have such issues at 5 years 70K.

Worst SUV ever - 2001 GMC Yukon XL
By Alfonso Ocampo - January 31 - 6:16 pmWorst vehicle I have ever bought. Spent a lot of money on this truck. This SUV slips way too much in snow even with 4wd on. I changed the battery on this truck twice, brakes were horrible they couldnt be fixed, and power for this beast needs to be improved. GM dissapointed me. GMC you just fell in the same class as a Ford.
