Except for some new options and some minor tinkering, not much changed for the GMC Yukon XL in 2004. The full size SUV comes in 13 trims and seats 8-9 passengers depending on the trim. Drivers can choose among four capable V8 powertrains: a 5.3 L, 285 hp, 5.3 L, 295 hp, 6.0 L, 315 hp, and a 6.0 L, 325 hp.
Expect to get around 14 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway when you drive the 2004 Yukon XL. Max towing capacity generally ranges from 8000 to 9000 lbs., with higher end trims getting up to 12000 lbs. Max cargo capacity comes out to a relatively spacious 132 cubic feet.
Overall, the 2004 Yukon XL gets accolades for its roomy interior, plentiful options, and powerful V8 engines. Despite the need for better materials, automotive experts generally like the domestic SUV with the extended wheelbase. The 2004 version gives you a reasonably up-to-date model at a lower price.
What owners say
"Owners generally appreciate the comfort, spaciousness, and performance of the 2004 GMC Yukon XL. The Bose sound system and available features like AWD and heated seats are frequently praised. However, some drivers have experienced issues with wiring, mechanical parts, and subpar gas mileage, which are points of concern."
The performance is great.Just minor repairs. The interior is great with leather seats dvd player 6 disc cd changer xm radio sunroof.Gas mileage is not well but I needed the room,it's fun to drive too.O and it has a 3rd row
June 10, 2011I have had several Suburbans and Yukon XLs over the years, with many different seating and power configurations. This is by far my favorite for "on road". The Denali, although the name implies differently, is a road vehicle. It sits much lower than the Z71s of the same model, even when outfitted with 20" wheels as I did with mine. The rear coil springs and air suspension is very comfortable and the interior is quiet while traveling at highway speeds. The 2nd row captains chairs are comfortable and give plenty of leg room for the passengers there, and with these being heated, they are just as comfortable as the front seats. The 3rd row, although a bench in this model, is adequate for adults and comfortable for kids. When additional storage is needed, the 3rd row folds flat for optimum use of space. The 6.0 has a wide powerband and is reliable for the long haul. Overall, I love this vehicle.
April 7, 2014Every available option. AWD capabilities. Very dependable. Looks great. Cargo space is unmatched in any other vehicle. Sunroof, XM radio, navigation, DVD player, Heated first and second row seats. Original Owner, Zero mechanical issues after 112k miles! Memory seats, seat heaters in first and second row.

February 11, 2011seems to get a lot of dents. the drivers seat wiring goes screwy and controls operate backwards, alternator surges like crazy, heater control won't shut off heat in the summer so we plumbed in a T-handle valve, 6 CD part of factory radio stop working 50,000 miles ago. BUT, it has Bose sound with XM and DVD, seats are way comfortable, old people see it and you can drive to California from Florida comfortably. will really miss it when it's gone.
August 11, 2014Love the truck, does everything we need it to do including pulling our travel trailer. We have only owened it for a short time and purchased it used, but has been great so far. Would love to have captains chairs in the second row, it came with a split 60/40 bench, although heated.
