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.

  In Love with the Denali - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Tom G - September 18 - 2:00 am

  Theres is little not to love on this vehicle. For a truck, ride and handling is superb! 6.0 engine is a nice powerhouse and gas mileage is acceptable at 15.5 mpg during first 5000 miles. Freeway driving in Southeast Michigan. If youre a "creature comfort" person, youll adore this car Heated seats, XM Satellite radio, Bose sound system, great storage and carying space. In the short while I have owned the vehicle (2 months) I dislike driving anything else. Early recall that was inconvenient: Body Control Module for suspension would remain on after engine was turned off and drain battery overnight. Quick reprogramming at the dealership fixed it.

  GMC Customer for life - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By AVIACREWS - December 7 - 2:00 am

  Very happy that I paid a bit more for the Denali versus the Yukon XL. Smooth, quiet ride, huge amounts of power available. Extremely comfortable SUV! After one year and over 12000 miles, no problems.

  Dream Vehicle A Reality - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Mister - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Wanted a usefull SUV, not a tall car.. Test drove everything in the class including the Chevy, the GMC stood apart. Excellent engineering inside and out, VERY capable (no problems extreme off-rading) leather interior exceptionally comfortable. Pretty good sound system (the sub will distort at high volumes). I tow my 17 runabout without knowing its there. Autoride is a huge plus in my book, load it up and trailer and keep the level ride. One waranty issue (leaking front differential vent) that I spotted whilst chainging the oil, fixed in a jiffy and no problems since. A must have if you wnat the Utility in an SUV.

  A great vehicle with over 100k miles - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Bayer - May 14 - 2:23 pm

  I have over 100k miles and still have yet to have the first problem. The tires last to about 50k miles, it tows like a mule and rides very comfortably. It still idles like it was new; you cant tell its running. GM did a good job with this machine!

  Fill it up with Kids! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Noahsarc - April 6 - 10:00 am

  This truck has lots of room for kids. Much better than a minivan and my wife is not afraid of driving big trucks. The 2003 models came a long way since its new body style in 2000. To much improvements to name. The gas mileage is expected considering its size, but the mileage increases after a couple of oil changes. It handles very well for its size and a smooth comfortable ride. But be careful, you dont realize you are driving 75 mph until you look at the speedometer.

  Yukon or nothing! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Troy A. Kost - March 12 - 10:00 am

  The GMC Yukon XL is one of the best SUVs on the market, if not the best. This is a far better truck than my best friends Sequoia, and a lot more truck for the money. Its even better on the gas in real world driving (because you dont have to floor it to go like the Toyota). The only problem is that a lot of the people that I give a ride to say "I NEED one of these".

  Buy This Car! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Badster Adster - January 16 - 2:00 am

  This Car since i bought it has been an outstanding one. Compared to my new Mercedes SL600 2002, this 2003 Yukon XL Denali keeps up very well. I am extremely happy with the build. The only thing I would possibly change is the gas mileage. I have 8 children and this is truely the best car yet. I am considering buying a second. I havent had any problems with it yet and i dont expect any either.
