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.

  Great after 4 hard years! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Brian - August 11 - 2:40 am

  Reliability has been flaelwss! Not one problem after 65k miles of hard living. I tow boats and a heavy boy scout trailer regularly, drive up to the mountians in snow and cruise at 90 on the highway. This SUV never flenched, squeeked or rattled. The air shocks and towing package make this an acceptionally stable vehicle to tow with. It will yank my 6500 LB wet boat our of the water with authority. The all wheel drive and stability control work flawlessley; I dont think its possible to get this SUV stuck. It also is very useful when going camping or taking my daughter to college with all her worldly belongings. It swallows up cargo like a fat kid eating a donut; wooofff; no sweat.

  Impressed! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Doug - December 12 - 6:10 am

  I am very pleased with vehicle. It has 110,000 miles and it still smells and drives like a new one. I have had different brands of vehicles, but not with the quality this Yukon XL has. I would never buy another Toyota after driving this GMC. I am very satisfied with everything this machine has to offer! I have been driving GM vehicles for 40 years now and I havent found anything yet that even comes close to the quality! Thankyou GMC

  Luv my new XL - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By LuvmyXL - May 17 - 10:00 am

  I have been extremely pleased with my Yukon XL. It handles and rides so comfortably. I strongly recommend the second row captains chairs. It really makes it easier to access the third row of seats. I love the cargo room!. We actually hauled our wooded swingset boxes (they were huge!!) home with both seats folded down. So much fun to drive!!

  Excellent vehicle for hauling whatever you need. Gas mileage isnt that great, but the utility is excellent, and the Quadrasteer option is amazing.

  Good solid feel to this SUV. Fun to drive, big improvement over windstar van. Solid feature from XM radio to memory seats that remember your personal preferences-pretty cool. Gas mileage a little lower than expected. Performance is outstanding.

  I cant part with it! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Mike - December 28 - 6:36 pm

  I bought my Denali new and do a lot of hard driving with it. I tow trailers, take road trips fully loaded and take trips to the mountains in the snow. All I can say is, Wow! This is a great vehicle! I literally have had no problems with it except one battery and one set of tires at 40k. This mule will jerk my 6,000lb boat out of the water on a wet ramp with authority. (I laugh at other vehicle skidding with much lighter loads). Acceleration, ride, comfort and reliability have been exceptional. What really surprises me is the reliability. No issues. Much more reliable and durable that Japanese makes I have owned. No squeeks or rattles. I would buy another; I just cant part with this one!

  No maintenance - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By JRod - September 22 - 5:13 am

  I bought new in 03 & spent less than $600 total on maintenance items. Replaced water pump 1 month ago & front brakes @ 60K miles. Wife drove the heck out of it until I took over @ 60K miles. It now has 85K miles & drives & rides like new. GM quality is A+ and even if it breaks down, it doesnt break my wallet to repair. Extremely happy with the Yukon.

  By Gayle Davis - August 8 - 9:30 pm

  Even the gas mileage has been better then the sticker claims. No problems at all now at 25,000 miles. No disappointments at all.
