2002 GMC Yukon XL Preview summaryImage

Besides some improvements to the transmission and internal parts, the 2002 GMC Yukon XL full-size SUV didn't do too much to detract from or improve upon its strong reputation in the automotive community. This 4 door workhorse comes in 13 trims and features 5.3 L and 6.0 L V8 powertrains packing around 300-320 hp. Think of the SLT as more luxurious than the SLE with standard features that include leather seats. Depending on which trim you choose, you'll have room to seat 8-9 passengers.

Gas mileage across trims averages around 14 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway. Max towing capacity usually ranges from 8000-9000 lbs. with some trims reaching 12000. Cargo capacity comes out to a roomy 132 cubic feet.

As usual, drivers like the '02 Yukon XL's roomy interior and powerful V8's. While its materials could use an upgrade, most reviewers agree that the Yukon XL gets the job done in more ways than one.

Loved all the room for traveling with family. Handles great seats clean up so easy, car mates all through the vehicle. Doors open wide for easy access to the very back of the vehicle. 3rd see can be removed for hauling large itemsFeb 06, 2015

This truck is one of two of the best Trucks GM made in 2002! I say one of the best because the other one is the Chevy Suburban! I own both and could not be happier with both of my investments.Jun 05, 2014
