Overview & Reviews

After last year's redesign, the 2008 GMC Yukon sees minimal changes. The 40/20/40-split front bench seat gets built-in storage compartments, side-curtain airbags are made standard across the board and OnStar turn-by-turn navigation becomes standard on the SLT trim.

• Handsome cabin with fine fit and finish, comfortable ride, smooth powertrains, can accommodate up to nine passengers.

  Cheap Door Actuators and Handles - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By jadams8 - December 15 - 2:27 pm

  This will be the 3rd door actuator that has gone bad in less than 2 years on my 2008 GMC Denali. First the drivers door went bad then it was the passenger rear door and now it is the rear hatch actuator. I have received lies about the price by calling 2 different parts departments. I called one in Gainesville and one in Louisiana and the one in Louisiana quoted me 300.00 less than the Gainesville area.

  Love it! - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By Misty S - March 23 - 3:03 pm

  Best vehicle I have owned. Used to love to trade quite frequently, but not anymore. I love my Denali. Gas mileage isnt the greatest but its a big SUV. What can you expect?

  2 years with 2008 Denali - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By Jay - January 2 - 4:49 pm

  Best SUV I have owned yet. Last three SUVs were Tahoes and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am innpressed with the creature comforts. After driving, and towing with the 6.2 liter engine I would never go back to the 5.3 liter engine. My commute is mostly highway and I average 16.5 at 70 MPH. 10 MPG towing the boat. Two problems a sticky back door lock and non sticky gas door cover that keeps opening. I have not had the dealer look at them, as I have yet go back to the dealer with 38K miles in two years.

  2008 Denali AWD - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By lgb - October 30 - 7:12 pm

  We first test drove the yukon SLT to replace our 2005 Denali. We never used the rear DVD player or Navigation in our 2005 so we thought we would down grade to the regular Yukon. NOT! Had to go back to the Denali series because the regular yukon didnt compare to the comfort we were used too. So we purchased a 2008 Denali.

  2008 Denali Problems - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By Sam Samson - July 18 - 12:33 am

  Ive had problems with the electrical systems (door locks, wipers, Navigation system,) and now worst of all the brakes. I went metal to metal on the rears after 33,000 miles. the calipers are failing to retract properly - thus Pads wearing out totally prematurely. Normally a car goes thru 3 sets of front pads to 1 set of rears. Ive had my car serviced by dealerships only, thus far. When they rotate the tires, I ask them to check the brakes since the wheels are already off. Well At the time of last visit to the dealership, (22,363 miles) All was well-- now 11,000 miles later My right rear roter is shot on the inside only due to a defective caliper. What can I do about it????

  Best Ride EVER - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By 2008 Denali - May 21 - 7:19 am

  I traded in my 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab b/c my family needed a more comfortable ride for long trips. We looked at the Avalanche but really no difference from the Sierra with cabin space and comfort. The Denali rides like a dream. My truck had the old 5.3L V8 and felt just a little under- powered. The Denali with the new 6.2L V8 has plenty of power from towing my boat to accelerating for passing on the interstate (or even accelerating on the interstate while pulling the boat!!) Average gas mileage for my driving style is the same as the Sierra but definitely sucks more gas in town. Very comfortable, quiet ride. I do miss having a "truck" but thats what utility trailers are for.

  Great Surburban - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By d - April 24 - 12:34 am

  Yes I said Surburban, because after 25 Chevrolets I traded up to a GMC- I liked the Styling better, This is a quantum leap in vehicle quality, styling and interor design. Its quiet, comfortable and roomy. The 5.3 with multi displacement is smmoth- cant even tell when its in 4 cyl mode. Remote start is a hit and the tri zone AC is a winner- everyone gets their temp selection

  Misfire Misfire Misfire - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By Rob - March 11 - 10:36 am

  Vehicle broke down on us 5 times in less than 6 months, and the dealership could not figure out the problem, or lack of trying to figure out the problem. One day someone got a bright idea to see if any another dealerships are experiencing the same problem, the vehicle will start until it gets hot, but dont turn it off because it wont start up again. Anyhoo, some other dealer was having that same problem and at last it was fixed.

  Great SUV - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By quikag - January 24 - 3:47 pm

  I love driving my 08 Yukon Denali. The power is good, the comfort is awesome and its just a nice SUV to drive. With the deals out there on these trucks, its definitely worth checking out. I got $16k off sticker on a loaded 08 towards the end of the model year.

  Love this Denali - 2008 GMC Yukon
  By Saul Boyd - January 18 - 10:29 am

  I have driven and owned many automobiles. The Denali is a pleasure to drive. I traded my TrailBlazer in for the new Denali and the gas is not any worse than my TrailBlazer. It was a nice auto. I looked at every auto maker Toyota, Lexus, and others from outside the country only to find not one could pull me away from GMC.
