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.

  Denali Rocks! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By WyoDenali - November 29 - 10:00 am

  We love the vehicle. For a large SUV, it rides amazing well and is very stable. Everyone is comfortable in it and I love to drive it on the open road.

  Big and comfortable - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By Money Green - August 24 - 10:00 am

  One of the best family vehicles you could ever own. I had an Envoy but it proved to be a little to small for family road trips. The Denali XL fits the bill. Big, powerful, and comfortable what more can you ask for. Gas mileage could be better but who cares. If you can afford to buy one of these monsters you diffenently should be able to afford the gas.

  The Denali XL, wooh what a truck! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By The engineer - May 8 - 10:00 am

  I have had it for about a month, its great. I am the second owner, previouis owner put 9000 miles on it. I purchased for the wife and kids. Has plenty of space, the entertainment center combine with the bose system is great. Interior is awesome, the vehicle has all the bells and gadgets. Very safe and easy to drive, my wife is only 4-11". She loves it so much she wont let me drive it anymore. Has plenty of power and is perfect for road trips; towing; no problema! the 6.0 liter can handle it. Great vehicle worth every penny. I do recommend it for a family no larger than five.

  Luving this thing - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By YukLuver - February 23 - 2:00 am

  Traded up from minivan. This SUV has more room, more power, more cool points. The drive is smooth and not very trucklike. It has been a pure pleasure.

  Great Vehicle If You Need Big - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By gatescrash - September 2 - 3:10 am

  Bought new as 03 leftover in Jan 2004, Had an issue with the AC leaking out and it took a few trips to the dealer to fix, but I blame the dealer for so many trips as they should have fixed in 1 or 2 trips, not 4. As far as big SUVs go this is one of the best. Ride comfort is great, plenty of room for camping, skiing, etc equipment. It tows an 18 foot bass boat like its not even there and thats with just the 5.3 in it. Id buy another one in the future but we only put 9K on this one per year so Ive go a few years of use left in the old girl. Its a heavy vehicle so youll replace brake pads around 50K and the e-brake drum rusts out so you end up replacing the rear drums, so use them ofte

  Everyone rides with me! - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By football mom - October 30 - 4:33 am

  The great thing about our GMC YukonXL is we have room for the book bags, sports equipment bags, grocery and friends! We never have to tell someone we dont have room. However, we end up driving more than we would like to. We purchased this vehicle with 14,000 miles and the ride is wonderful. We previously bought Suburbans and the difference is unbelievable. The GMC is has a better ride and the interior and exterior appointments are much nicer. However, it rattles and squeaks a little more than I like. For all the comfort I turn the radio up. The kids can watch a DVD while we listen to XM radio. The GMC is the way to go!

  No Comparison - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By imi003 - August 28 - 2:00 am

  Still a great value vs overpriced Escalade ESV without the obnoxious front end. Unparalleled acceleration and handling for a 3 ton machine. Mileage may be bad relative to small SUVs, but quite good considering the performance and weight. Compare mileage to Excursion. My old Ford averaged just 8.5 MPG. Denali XL looks just as good at the club as it does pulling a 7000 pound trailer. Excursion just looks obese.

  GMC Yukon XL Denali - 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  By RPyott - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Great Vehicle. Lots of room and handles well - Much better than our old Suburban. Very comfortable seats. Kids particularly like the CD controls in the rear so they can listen to their CDs on headsets while we listen to a radio station in the front seats. Only prolem was a loose interior molding. Really wish we had put a navigation system in it; love that feature in our other car.
