The biggest additions to the GMC Yukon SUV for 2005 came from new Stabilitrak and touch screen navigation. Otherwise, GMC added a couple new exterior colors for your viewing pleasure. This domestic vehicle comes in 5 trims: the SLE, SLE 4WD, SLT, SLT 4WD, and Denali AWD. The Yukon offers a powerful set of V8 engines, including 4.8 L, 285 hp and 5.3 L, 295 hp models.
All trims have 4 doors and room for 8-9 passengers. Gas mileage generally comes out to 15 mpg in the city and 20 on the highway. The 2005 Yukon can tow nearly 8000 lbs. and gives you nearly 105 cubic feet of cargo space with the second row folded and the third row removed.
Overall, the Yukon certainly pulls its weight in the eyes of its drivers with its spacious interior and strong powertrains. However, interior and body materials need to improve. Pick up an '05 for a relatively modern and affordable make. However, if you need the most recent edition, pay extra and go for the 2007 Yukon.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 GMC Yukon appreciate its reliability, power, and comfort. Many love the spacious interior and smooth driving experience, especially in various weather conditions. However, a common complaint is the vehicle's fuel economy, as it tends to be less efficient due to its size."
The Denali is a very comfortable SUV with great performance and attractive style. Handles well in all weather conditions with good towing capacity. A very good SUV for long trips, towing a boat or camper or taking the wife out to dinner.
July 3, 20125.3 L vortex. Probably best engine built in America pre-2010 Have rust on rocker panels A. Common issue B. I literally live across from ocean C. Engine will outlive body. Just change the oil as recommended. 17 years old n @ 200K miles. This past weekend snow n ice.. pushbutton 4WD worked perfect. Never done an ounce of work to it. Can not go wrong.
February 28, 2022It has an LS pushrod V8 motor, 4WD, and leather interior. It doesnt get any better than that. Reliability, performance, luxury

April 21, 2014I use this truck for work mainly and travel all over the country as a contractor. I like the overall looks of the truck, plenty of room for tools and luggage. I've owned 2 others this one seems to be a little more high maintenance...
