This Year's Model Updates:

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).

Pros:
  • Huge interior, strong lineup of V8 engines, available Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, extensive list of optional features.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior materials considering the price, bulky size makes it unwieldy for daily use.

  • Yukon Denali - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    Its great for kids. The DVD keeps them happy during trips. Space between the two captain chairs in the second row is wonderful for access to the third row. The ride is very comfortable, even in the third row bench seat. We love the way the vehicle looks. It has a very nice style to it. Were very happy with this choice of vehicle.

  • Better ride than I ever thought - 2005 GMC Yukon XL

    This vehicle rides amazing well for its size. Gets better gas mileage than some of the smaller competing models. More cargo space than you can use and wonderful ride. Did I mention how smooth the ride is? The Denali is an awesome vehcile.

  • Great vehicle for the SUV Enthusiast. - 2005 GMC Yukon XL

    I purchased the vehicle for $8,700 just recently and already have driven it well over 500 miles in a 2 week span. Everything I have looked at so far shows it has almost if not all factory equipment and parts. The 6 disk changer was damaged but with the built in cd player I removed it and wired in a usb device to allow playback over the factory radio. The ride is far more than I expected from such a large vehicle, the engine is perfect for the size. I have had no issues with the interior or exterior giving any aged problems. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a superb SUV that has all the bells and whistles to go with it.

    Better mileage than my pickup! Handles great. Out-turns many mid-size cars. Finally - room for the whole family and their stuff!

  • I Love It! - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned! Im partially disabled, and this is not only the easiest car to drive, Ive found it to be the most functional. The running boards make it easy to get in & out of; height & design give me great visibility. We took out the 3rd seat (2 minutes!) and I can easily put the back seat down (its split so I can carry cargo and passengers!) to carry the dogs, groceries, and just about anything else I can think of! Theres over 6 feet back there. Controls are thoughtfully arranged, along with separate climate control for the rear area....the dogs just love it~! And the stereo w/Bose speakers is icing on the cake!

  • 2005 Denali Yukon XL - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle with 209,254 miles on it for $7,783 + Tax/Title. The interior looks new but the exterior has a few dings and a little rust starting here and there. It Runs & Drives like NEW! Everything works! I burn no oil between oil changes but the rear seal leaks a bit. I purchased this for towing and know a few people who are also driving these GMs with over 200,000 clicks/no problems. These vehicles get driven hard and simply keep going. We tow Ice Houses, Campers, etc. Getting stuck is a regular occurrence. Forward, Reverse, Forward... Stomp it. These things keep going! Add gas & change fluids regularly. Simply AMAZING machines..........

  • How I get along with it... - 2005 GMC Yukon XL
    By -

    Its a great vehicle. I really enjoy driving it and it looks extremely good rolling on chromes. The only thing I didnt like is the quality for the interior because its only been one year and some of the material used over the cup holder lids and the center console is starting to peel off.

  • Yukon XL Denali, second to none! - 2005 GMC Yukon XL

    2nd Yukon XL Denali. Love them. Great turning radius. Excellent comfort. No complaints at all.

  • H.D. - 2005 GMC Yukon XL

    This has been the most comfortable, smooth riding, trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned. On the highway at speeds of 65-70, I get 19- 19.4 mpg without air and 18.5 with air.Of course when you drive faster than that, mpg drops like a lead rock. Cant complain for a vehicle this size.
