Overview & Reviews

The 2009 GMC Yukon sports a number of upgrades. An XFE package debuts with aerodynamic enhancements and lightweight aluminum components that improve fuel economy. A third-row three-passenger 50/50-split bench seat and new aluminum wheels are standard on all models. Bluetooth phone connectivity becomes available, as does a rearview camera system that doesn't require the optional navigation system. This year's navigation system now has real-time traffic capability. Below deck, a new six-speed automatic is paired with both the 5.3- and 6.2-liter V8 engines, the latter of which gains 23 horsepower for 2009. Lastly, a heavy-duty trailering package and separate integrated brake controller are now available.

  *Caution 2009 Yukon - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By lemonyukon - June 2 - 10:21 pm

  I am the unfortunate owner of a 2009 Yukon XL, it currently has 49,500 miles on it and in the last 6 months has been in at least once with problems. This is the short list: 1) Door module of course as you see that many times 2) hot air coming out of drivers side vents and a/c on passenger. 3) oil sensor model and remember this one it enabled us to find out that bulletins exist concerning oil consumption. The valve covers do not allow the oil to drop back down to the engine 4) after we got that done and the repair did not work it tossed another code about emission module and it then had metal in the oil 5) the valves rings had to be replaced. 6) 3 more codes in shop today! 5)

  Excellent Vehicle - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By Eddies Denali - August 29 - 4:13 am

  I just bought our 2009 Denali and so far its been a great experience. The power behind the wheel and the towing abilities are going to benefit us, my family and friends, as we like to be out doors and enjoy hauling my camping trailer every where we go. GREAT vehicle.

  Great Vechicle - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By Great Vechicle - December 11 - 11:58 am

  We purchase a 2009 GMC Yukon Denali Oct. 2009 to replace our 2003 Chevy Suburban, which was an incredibly reliable vehicle. What a difference the GMC Denali makes. Superior ride, more hp and even better fuel mileage, getting 18.1 city and unbelievable 21.6 highway at 78 MPH. Strongly recommend this vehicle to anyone that loves to be comfortable. It comes loaded with more than you can imagine. We just love it.

  Great SUV - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By Aj - November 30 - 7:43 am

  I always drove Toyota and Hondas but after long research bought Yukon 2009. I am really impressed by smooth drive. We have two kids and our parents often travel with us, its been great fun in Yukon. DVD quality is great. I wish they had LATCH for car seat at all seating places in middle and third row. There are no front latches in 3rd row and has only one back latch. You might have tough time fitting two car seat in 3rd row. I get about 14.5 mpg at 1000 mi. Over all, not going back to Honda and toyota at all.

  Very reliable, perfect for our needs - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By Gundo - September 9 - 9:16 am

  Weve got the Yukon Denali and it has been incredibly reliable with decent gas mileage considering its size. To date, Ive put 47,000 miles on the rig, and other than a recent brake job have done nothing but change the oil. Those that complain about GM and these trucks havent owned one. I have been pleasantly surprised by the lack of repairs required. Biggest complaint would be lack of reclining seats in second row (weve got the bench) and slow to respond reverse camera - seems to take forever sometimes. Cheers

  So far good car.... - 2009 GMC Yukon
  By Jim Phillips - August 26 - 10:15 pm

  Wish the fuel economy was a little better. Also, the rear back seats dont fold down to the floor so the back not very functional unless moving out the very heavy back seats.
