Overview & Reviews

Revisions for 2005 include a new optional touchscreen navigation system. Rear barn doors are no longer available, as all models now come with an overhead rear liftgate (with separate liftglass).

• Huge interior, strong lineup of V8 engines, available Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, extensive list of optional features.

• Some cheap interior materials considering the price, bulky size makes it unwieldy for daily use.

  Yukon xl 4x4 - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By chris klein - May 31 - 7:00 am

  Great vehicle! We went camping in the mountains and the 4x4 worked great. All the camping gear for six people and the dog fit in the back. All three rows were used for passengers/dog. Gas mileage on the freeway is 17.5mpg and 16mpg in the city. All around perfect family vehicle for larger families.

  One for the seasons - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By rj stading - March 6 - 2:03 am

  The Pacific NW has lots of variations. Rain, snow, sunshine, mountains, deserts, beaches, forests. The Yukon XL takes your family and friends wherever you want to go, whenever, in the safety of a solid rig with stability and protection. The new one really does get 18-20 mpg on the highway at 65+ mph, provided you dont jump on it when you start out.

  GMC Denali XL - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By Mark - November 21 - 8:46 pm

  If you have never actually spent any time in one of these vehicles, you owe it to yourself to drive one. This is a "Drivers SUV." We use this one in our business and that means there have been several long trips logged this past year, and that is really where the Denali shines. Long trips just dont "wear you out" like they would in a lesser vehicle. Its handling is awesome (for a vehicle of its size), and its power is strong - the thing will RUN! We love the styling and we feel very safe in it on the road. The kids love the DVD but we all love the comfort it provides. I fully intend to buy another one!

  A very good performer, meets all specs. - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By TheColonel - September 3 - 12:56 am

  With approx. 7000 miles traveled, I find this vehicle meeting all specifications as advertised. Driving on highway, side roads and in snow it is better than expected. Interior room and ride comfort is rated high by all who have been passengers so far. Dash board computer read out on gas use, miles per gal, next oil change etc. is an excellent addition. Steering wheel controls for almost everything. At this time, I rate it excellent. If GM wanted to make it better, they did! Its this model.

  GMC Yukon - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By Jim Sander - April 14 - 10:53 am

  My last three vehicle have been GMC Yukons. They are an all purpose vehicle that is also very driver friendly. With a whole family loaded in the vehicle I feel very safe as well. It handles better than any SUV I have driven in the past. Its easy to park, it rides very smooth, and has all the extras for the whole family. I would never consider buying any other vehicle in this class. As a matter of fact, I will probably never buy a car again.

  Practical use in rough country - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By j savini - August 7 - 1:26 pm

  In wet or muddy conditions you need to disable the stabilization system and let the wheels spin the mud off or face getting stuck. In snow or ice the system works good.

  I like this - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
  By yukonxl2004 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  As a former Ford only vehicle person, I didnt think I would like a GMC, but I do. this truck has a smooth ride, plenty of room, and pretty ok fuel use. But hey when you buy an SUV you know what you are in for, its not a compact car after all, and your going to pay for gas. I had a Ford Excursion, that was a rough ride, HORRIBLE fuel use, and just plain old big. If you have the need for room and SUV use, I would tell anyone to buy this GMC Yukon XL.
