The Yukon added some nice options for 2003 that include enhanced Bose audio, a DVD system, and push-button controls in the steering wheel. Overall, this full-size SUV has 7 trims: Base, Base 4WD, SLE, SLE 4WD, SLT, SLT 4WD, and Denali 4WD. The Yukon offers 3 V8 powertrains: a 4.8 L, 275 hp, 4.8 L, 285 hp, and 6.0 L, 325 hp.
Gas mileage averages out to around 14 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway. All trims have 4 doors and seat anywhere from 6 to 9, depending on which variation you choose. Max towing capacity can go anywhere from around 8000 lbs. up to nearly 9000 lbs. Cargo capacity reaches up to 105 cubic feet if you fold down the second row and take out the third.
As with most Yukons, the 2003 edition gets high marks for its engines and passenger room. However, the '03 Yukon could use better exterior and interior materials. That said, this SUV delivers pretty much everything you'd expect from a quality domestic model and a little more.
What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the 2003 GMC Yukon for its power, reliability, and spaciousness, especially for family trips. Many love its performance and the low maintenance costs. However, some drivers mention that the cargo space can be limited with the third row in use and cite exterior issues as a downside."
It is a truck that rides like a Cadillac. It looks great, especially with the SLT wheels. I have comfortable traveled with 6 passengers. The pop up hatch is an excellent cover for tailgating. It has been great to hang out when going to kids sports festivities and the like (It's like an RV.)
January 20, 2015The Yukon runs great. 4x4 worked great when I needed it. It's big, holds a lot of toys, people and it's reliable. I should have gotten the XL because with the 3rd row in, there hardly any room for storage. So far with over 120,000 miles, the maintenance has been reasonable.
January 25, 2011The car is an excellent car to drive, and looks nice too specialy in Black, it is strong and relaible, can go anyware, and i always feel sorry that I sold it, it was a powerful car and as they say "Power Demands Respect"

August 4, 2009best SUV I have owned I have had no issues with it its reliable and ready to go never no head aches the kids dog n luggage fit in the truck and I can tow I will never own anything other than a Yukon Denali.
February 6, 2014Awesome vehicle - even better when fuel prices are low! Captains chairs make access to the rear seats easier. Cargo rack proves to be very useful for long trips since the rear cargo space is limited. Great family vehicle and will get the XL or Suburban next.
December 10, 2014The vehicle usually accelerates smoothly. If it is short on any fluids such as oil, it will let you know because it will drag on on acceleration. Great family trip vehicle. Great on gas on the highway...not so much with city driving especially if you live in a hilly area.
August 20, 2014Engine runs good, exterior has issues. Not a bad deal for the age of vehicle.
