Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Strong engines, roomy and versatile interior, rugged chassis, numerous available amenities.
Cons
- Spotty build quality, interior materials could be better.
What’s new
Despite numerous 2003 upgrades, there's not much different on the outside other than optional multifunction mirrors and new machined aluminum wheels for SLT models. Inside, you'll find tri-zone climate controls, an enhanced driver-information center and a redesigned center console and instrument panel. Satellite steering wheel controls are now optional (standard on Denali models) as are second-row captain's chairs. New entertainment options include a Bose audio system, as well as XM Satellite Radio and a DVD-based entertainment system. For increased safety, there are a standard front-passenger sensing system, three-point belts for all second-row passengers, adjustable pedals and an available StabiliTrak stability control system. GMC also upgraded the braking system for better pedal feel and performance and retuned the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system for better efficiency and less binding at low speeds. Finally, Yukons sold in California are fitted with a new catalytic converter that earns the truck ULEV certification.
Edmunds says
With room for up to nine passengers, gutsy V8 engines and numerous passenger amenities, the Yukon is a full-featured family sport-ute that's tough to beat.

2003 GMC Yukon SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Our Yukon has been one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. It rides like a dream, looks good, performs well, has tons of space, and can work hard. It's the all-around perfect vehicle in my opinion. Great for trips and I feel like my family is safe. We just replaced the original Michelin tires with the same model. They ride great and last forever. We bought it with 55k miles on it … and it now has 108k miles. This year we repaired the A/C for around $250. No other problems at all. As far as Mpg, we get 16-18 which I think is fine for such a large and safe vehicle.
I love this truck

2003 GMC Yukon SLE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Just looking at this truck gets me
excited to drive it. With its rugged
good looks and the v8 it
screams "drive me". It has decent gas
milage for such a large suv. But, if
you are in a hurry and floor it for
long distances, you can really see the
gas milage go down. It is very smooth
on the highway. You feel very safe in
this truck. Its heavy weight makes it
an … excellent vechile in bad weather.
Espically rain, when large puddles
make other cars hydroplane. The cargo
room is excellent. 4wd drive is very
well built.
rugged practicality

2003 GMC Yukon Denali AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Bought the truck new in Feb 2003.
Loved it for the first 500 miles, then
it started falling apart, Everything
has been repaired but it took
numerous.. did I say numerious, I meant
countless trips to the service dept.
From 500 - 25000 nothing but service.
From 25000 - Now. much better. Very
nice look, sweet! Like it enought not
to part with it yet, would't buy …
another one.
