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.

  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.

  3 strikes and now what? - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Rushing - March 30 - 11:13 am

  I loved my truck and for a house full of boys it is great. But why have we replaced the fuel pump system 3 times and now it has failed AGAIN? 1st in July 2008, then again in January 2009, then again in July 2009 and now just shy of a year it goes out again!

  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.

  I Just Love It - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  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.

  DENALI Review - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By jmoriarty - August 8 - 10:00 am

  Bought for safety but Denali doesnt tell driver when kids have left a passenger door ajar(only the liftgate). My 1980 Honda told me when the door was ajar!! When low on mileage the Denali doesn;lt tell you how many miles left..It just says "low fuel" this is aggravating as you dont know when you really are going torun out after less than 39 miles left in tank Plastic breaks..$50K vehicle and pwoer utility covers are flimsy and break easily with kids...too much plastic for the price. My BMW X5 has much better craftsmanship amd features for same $
