This era of SUVs probably has been one of the best made ever by GM. I bought a 2001 brand new and it is still running. Almost over 300,000 miles on it and still going strong.
Grew up with a 2002 Yukon XL, did everything with it, learned how to work on cars, learned how to drive, took me to the first day of pre school and I drove it to the last day of grad school, kept it running up to 372,000miles with original transmission and engine and this past January it saved me and my wife’s lives when a cocaine addict hit us head on going the wrong way on the highway. This vehicle will do anything and everything you ask of it and it will save your life, now I’m trying to find another one, couldn’t possibly recommend a vehicle more.
2005 Tahoe. If the interior ever goes dead, follow the parking brake release cable and you may find it leaning against a black box in a galvanized bracket. Move the cable away and everything will work again.
I've owned 2 GMCs..One was a 05 Yukon XL and the other was 04 Yukon Xl Denali..Awesome trucks and very safe, they take a licking and keep on ticking!!!!
My Father has a 2006 Escalade that he bought new in 2006. It is his daily driver to this day! 246,000 miles, all he has done is basic maintenance. Never broke down, never left him stranded. The heater core just went and that is a big repair bill but he is going to get it done anyway because the truck is that good, worth it!
Looking to buy one myself for a winter family hauler. Great vehicles. Reliable and built. The 2005+ also have e-fans which is a plus over clutch fans. They are absolutely the best.
I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe with 300,000 miles on the odometer and it stills drives and rides like a dream!!! I bought it with 120,000 miles on it and this has certainly been one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned!!! Quiet running engine even with 300, 000 miles!!!
Rock on man! I’ve got an 04 suburban Z 71 with 200,000 miles. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Picked it up for three grand couple years ago. And have put a couple grand just maintenance items in that time. Looking for another one. I want to own a pair. One for work and one for personal
I have a 2006 fully loaded Yukon 4x4 with the 5.3 and 4.10 gears. I had that same touch screen radio with the normal BOSE system. It sounded so good that I bought an NOS version of the same radio with the y91 Lux bose feature and swapped the amp in the center console to the one that came standard in your truck and the escalade. Over all the sound improved and i added the noise compensation audio pilot mic. It really is a great radio for it's time even by today's standards.
Just bought a nice 06 Yukon Denali with 235k runs strong and trans shift smooth I got lucky just put $500 into on pitman arms idle arms and front brakes
I agree. I was buying Chevy Tahoes until they went over $25K. So in 2015 I bought a 2002, 13 years old, for only $10,000. Only 70,000 miles. Miles matter, the year does not.
I bought me a 2005 Denali XL 2 years ago. I've run my Denali hard and went off roading after lifting it about 3 inches. The only thing I had to do to it was to change out the plugs and wires. Had to change out the water pump about a month ago. It was quite easy. It has the e-clutch fan which it made it so easy. Took me a couple of hours to change it out. My kids love it. It's roomy and comfortable. I added a Pioneer stereo on it and it made the bose sound even better. I've pulled trucks out of mud puddles. Other than it guzzles gas like crazy, but it seems like when you're pulling something like a trailer or a RV trailor, it takes it easy on the fuel mileage. That's kinda strange in my opinion. My family loves it. It's a great truck to have. Can't go wrong with it.
I have an 2001 8.1 L 2500 and I love it, To your point I did have to replace the brake lines and the rust on the rockers. All worth it getting ready to get it painted now.
@@ford89ltd No doubt Bro 😂 Found mines which was an 05 with less 149k Got it for $5500 2yrs ago and just hit 168k on it , I barely drive it… guy wanted 6200 for it, I talked him down to 5500 .. There out there though…😂
I’ve got a 2005 Suburban LT. Had 90k miles on it and bought it for $6500. Now has 205k miles. I’ve owned it for 8 years now and it has had all the common trouble issues that I’ve fixed myself. O2 sensors, fuel pump, fuel vapor canister, air bag sensors, temperature blend door motors, sagging ceiling liner, alternator, driveshaft u joints, instrument cluster, and window regulators, inside door panels breaking, intake gasket, NOX sensors, no heated seats, seat adjustment controls, steering wheel buttons, water pump, lift gate light bar and shocks, rear window lift shocks, had the transmission rebuilt. Just recently started having more transmission trouble. So I rebuilt the valve body and used all Sonnax parts for shift and forward accumulators and installed a corvette servo. Seems like it’s doing better now. Drives good when it’s running but keeps breaking down. I’ve probably spent another $6500 on parts over the 8 years. I don’t know why I hang on to it. It’s a rolling pile of junk. I wish I had bought a Toyota Landcruiser.
I think you just got a truck built on a Monday....I have an 05 Z71 suburban. I bought it 9 years ago at 96k miles and now have 172k on it. It leaks oil, I've done brakes, tires, water pump, battery, alternator, vapor canister (from a junk yard), and a coil, but never anything major. I've done all the work myself. It broke down this week....it was a wire grounding out...cost me $6 in fuses and a few hours to fix. I think I will keep it forever and put a new drive train in if it ever fails.
2000 to 2006 GMC, Chev and Caddi trucks were the best years for these trucks! Just do diligence on upkeep and basic maintenance and the motor can and will last into the mid 400k mile range before needing replacement.
Got a 2014 tahoe ltz, great ride, loaded, caddillac ride, 2007, to 2014 best series..imo. except for the engine cylinder deactivator and the air ride suspension. As the compressor goes out. We upgraded nav screen to android auto, and we got a flag ship tahoe that we can put 300k miles and tow a bass boat..
I have a 2002 GMC Yukon Denali XL 6.0 bought it for $3,000 3 years ago its cleaned like yours has a dent in the rear panel just put in a new oil pump on she's running brand new 202400 miles still running strong no leaks
I have the exact same truck, XL Denali, 2006 in the same paint color, silver birch metallic. Bought it as the second owner 8 1/2 years ago with 74k on the odometer. It now has 187k and still runs like a champ! Easy to work on parts at plentiful and they are crazy easy to mod and upgrade. Love that newer GM 6 lug wheels are direct bolt on upgrades. Had a set of 2007 20s, a set of 2015 20s, and now a set of 2021 denali 20s. My only complaint is that silver birch metallic is well known for clearcoat failure, mine is trashed. The one is this video is immaculate paint wise and that makes me really jealous lol. Only thing I’d say is that the Denali Yukon never came with a wood grain trimmed steering wheel from the factory. If it had one it’s an aftermarket upgrade. I did an Escalade wheel in mine as well except that I painted the grips to match the darker Denali wood trim.
I have a 2001 Yukon Xl Denali on 33s. Good looker and reliable ✌️ it's my second Denali of the same year after selling our previous one in 2018. Awesome SUV passes anything except a gas station 😵💫
I have a 2002 Yukon SLT, and by far it's got to be the most reliable vehicle I've ever seen. As far as brake lines go, I went with cupronickel lines when the rust killed the factory lines. Cheaper than stainless, and a lot easier to get in (you can form them by hand). My only complaint is rust... once they start it's hard to stop, and it takes over quickly (I blame the foam sound deadening in the panels). Seems to be faster with these than other trucks, but I'd rather have a working rust bucket than a dead but clean truck
I love these things. I’m getting the exact one but it’s not a Denali. It would be so cool if you could buy brand new old models kinda like how you can still buy the 4th gen rams new.
I am a car mechanic, and here's a tip for anyone: If you want the car to look better for like, 600-1200, you can get custom backlights and front lights, they look very nice and very easy to install. Still pricey though,
Definitely a great vehicle only thing I don’t like about is that it’s 4WD all the time I’d rather have the option to switch it on & off as needed but other then that I love it
@@katieb0111 The Yukon have the option to switch from 2 to 4 wheel drive but the Denali is 4 wheel drive all the time and there is no switch the Escalade is set up the same way 😔
Not all Escalade’s of this generation did have the 6.0 because back in the day, if you wanted a cheaper new Escalade, you would have to go for the 2WD 5.3 version
@@omarzowila I appreciate that, thanks I will post some videos of my truck on my channel when i have made the necessary upgrades to it. right now in its "stock form" the way i bought it, it looks too "gangster drug dealer" for my taste lol, as these trucks have a presence of there own which i plan of changing before making videos of it. I bought it from a retired aerospace engineer im 3rd owner. hes used it 10yrs as his daily after buying it from the 1st owner. He took good care of it as i plan of continuing that service record.
I'm in Italy and I'm thinking about getting one of these..gas mileage matters here so many of them they run on LPG wich is cheaper than gasoline (0.7€ per liter) . I currently own a 2012 Grand Cherokee diesel and I'm too afraid to get in trouble with the main bearings failure
Hey friend. Nice car. I have a white one. Very clean. I like the Escalade steering wheel. The wood looks nice. How did you do that? You went to junk yard? eBay? Was the install hard? Thanks! Love the rims. I bought My Denali April 2021 for like 9k with 160k miles. Looks like I overpaid but. I Sinay bought a Tahoe for 80k so the Denali seemed good. I just replaced the throttle and it runs great. Went to Florida and ny twice already from NC.
My parents got an ‘06 Yukon SLT with a 5.3L when I was about 6 and drove it to the ground. The transmission blew at 300k miles about 6 years ago so my parents got a new car because ig they didn’t want to deal with the repair costs. It’s been sitting at a gas station ever since. I plan on fixing it up by rebuilding the engine and trans and by fixing other possibly issues for it to be my first car
My parents had an 05 suburban growing up and we drove it into the ground too. It was what drove me to get one. You can get an engine and trans at junkyard cheaper than it is to rebuild
Okay so yes definitely they are amazing but i wouldn’t say they are cheap because gas mileage literally sucks ass on em (i own a 2004 gmc yukon denali)
Nothing worse than getting in a vehicle and having crap speakers. Wise words. Even worse might be getting in a car formamroad trip and junk speakers.😢 lol. Usually 1st upgrade i do and i didnt need to on my 04. Working on a oil leak from mail seal right now. I was surprised the truck i just got last year still smells like leather. 04.
Test drove an 06 Yukon XL Denali yesterday, 1 owner, maintained well. Noticed the steering is very "light" with a little bit of play as well, not sure if this is the best way to describe it, is that how they all are ?
@@ATRIBECALLEDJUDAH001 Thank you for replying. I ended up purchasing it for $8,800 w/ 172k miles. Paid more than I wanted with higher miles than I wanted but I've been looking for a bit now and I couldn't find anything nearby as clean as this one , so I went for it. How much did you get yours for if you don't mind me asking?
@@alexdiaz6248 I paid 11K. Mint condition and low miles. It just hit 100 miles. My only issue is the steering is light just as you said. Don't know if it's normal or not.
@@ATRIBECALLEDJUDAH001 Sounds like a good deal! You should share some pix. The one I got is in good condition, few blemishes on the exterior and interior but they can be fixed, and just normal wear and tear. It's a gas guzzler ! I'm hoping to find an 05-06 Suburban z71 , I imagine that should get a little bit better gas mileage.
Hi i am looking to buy one and love the rim and tire set up can u specify the size i know u said 20 inch rim but i feel its a 22 i could be wrong but if u can confirmed rims and tire size also that be great
How long do these last on regular maintenance Bossman ? Looking to either save up for these or the next gen GM trucks to be my daily after I run through my 300
400k if taken care of. I was looking at 2010-2014 Yukon's , but because of my own research , I bought a clean 02 Denali with 140k on the odometer. I'm a reliability first shopper, and hands down these are the last gen that measure up to Toyota level reliability.
What size tires do u have? I'm about to paint mine, same color about 235k or so on it. Rockers gotta be replaced and passenger fender. Rebuilt tranny, oil cooler lines went twice. These old rims are leaky. Had some problems but not problematic. Been all over the country.
I see your Navigation System still works. You have the Map Disk for it? I was thinking about buying one but thought it would be too outdated. How does it work for you?
? For my gmc guy's for power what's my best option I have a 2003 Yukon Denali xl 6.0 I've done no engine work everything is stock but transmission and torque converter as well drive shaft few other upgrades bigger throttle body cool intake etc.. What else can I do I've done my head's shorty boys...lol need advice help me out guy's

yep mine has 234,000 just decided to put some money in getting it re-painted and dressed up a little maybe a cam and headers intake and just cruise!
Mine has over 400k. Only thing replaced is the trans
Not one but the best
Which engine do you have?
If I had the money I would fill my garage with these SUV’s - I have one and I get depressed when I am not driving it. Love it
If I had money I’d find the cleanest low miles 2006 Escalade platinum and lift it a bit with wheels and tires

My parents got an ‘06 Yukon SLT with a 5.3L when I was about 6 and drove it to the ground. The transmission blew at 300k miles about 6 years ago so my parents got a new car because ig they didn’t want to deal with the repair costs. It’s been sitting at a gas station ever since. I plan on fixing it up by rebuilding the engine and trans and by fixing other possibly issues for it to be my first car
My parents had an 05 suburban growing up and we drove it into the ground too. It was what drove me to get one. You can get an engine and trans at junkyard cheaper than it is to rebuild
Okay so yes definitely they are amazing but i wouldn’t say they are cheap because gas mileage literally sucks ass on em (i own a 2004 gmc yukon denali)
Thanks for posting, My z71 will look nice on those wheels, can you give me information on the wheels?
They’re 22” replicas
Nothing worse than getting in a vehicle and having crap speakers. Wise words. Even worse might be getting in a car formamroad trip and junk speakers.😢 lol. Usually 1st upgrade i do and i didnt need to on my 04. Working on a oil leak from mail seal right now. I was surprised the truck i just got last year still smells like leather. 04.
Fantastic video, really useful stuff!!!
Very nice video 🙌🙌
Test drove an 06 Yukon XL Denali yesterday, 1 owner, maintained well. Noticed the steering is very "light" with a little bit of play as well, not sure if this is the best way to describe it, is that how they all are ?
@ Alex Diaz. I just bought an 06 Denali last week with only a 100k on it. My steering is light also with a little play.
@@ATRIBECALLEDJUDAH001 Thank you for replying. I ended up purchasing it for $8,800 w/ 172k miles. Paid more than I wanted with higher miles than I wanted but I've been looking for a bit now and I couldn't find anything nearby as clean as this one , so I went for it. How much did you get yours for if you don't mind me asking?
@@alexdiaz6248 I paid 11K. Mint condition and low miles. It just hit 100 miles. My only issue is the steering is light just as you said. Don't know if it's normal or not.
@@ATRIBECALLEDJUDAH001 Sounds like a good deal! You should share some pix. The one I got is in good condition, few blemishes on the exterior and interior but they can be fixed, and just normal wear and tear. It's a gas guzzler ! I'm hoping to find an 05-06 Suburban z71 , I imagine that should get a little bit better gas mileage.
@@ATRIBECALLEDJUDAH001 Question for ya, when you hit about 70mph+, would you describe any change in the sound and feel of the car ?
You truck looks good bro i just bought one and I like the look you got going with your wheel and tire set up , what size wheels and tires are those ?
Mine was 130xxxx now its 192xxxx still going strong
I want those wheels. Where do I get them from?
awesome looking Yukon Denali! idk if anyone has mentioned it but the American flag is being displayed wrong.
Right one brotha, thanks
I just bought one that needs brake line alittle body work on rocker it got 440xxx one owner and all the maintenance records
I just got an 04, with 105,000 miles on it. I paid 4,700.
I have an 08 with a six two and it doesn't have that cylinder deactivation crap. FYI
Hi i am looking to buy one and love the rim and tire set up can u specify the size i know u said 20 inch rim but i feel its a 22 i could be wrong but if u can confirmed rims and tire size also that be great
Looking for the quadrasteer version
How long do these last on regular maintenance Bossman ? Looking to either save up for these or the next gen GM trucks to be my daily after I run through my 300
250k + on regular maintenance. Transmission and rust are their pit falls
400k if taken care of. I was looking at 2010-2014 Yukon's , but because of my own research , I bought a clean 02 Denali with 140k on the odometer. I'm a reliability first shopper, and hands down these are the last gen that measure up to Toyota level reliability.
I have a 2003 Denali that just reached 100k miles. Any recommendations on servicing it and what to expect on future repairs on it in the near future
Wheels model pls
I need like this touch screen!? Give brand name please
She’s a thing of beauty🔥, What did you do to learn how to change parts??
Thanks brother. Self taught google and CZcams and from working on other things
@@hammerdownfilm377 Really appreciate it man!, Thanks for the help🤙🏽🔥
What size tires do u have? I'm about to paint mine, same color about 235k or so on it. Rockers gotta be replaced and passenger fender. Rebuilt tranny, oil cooler lines went twice. These old rims are leaky. Had some problems but not problematic. Been all over the country.
I see your Navigation System still works. You have the Map Disk for it? I was thinking about buying one but thought it would be too outdated. How does it work for you?
? For my gmc guy's for power what's my best option I have a 2003 Yukon Denali xl 6.0 I've done no engine work everything is stock but transmission and torque converter as well drive shaft few other upgrades bigger throttle body cool intake etc..
What else can I do I've done my head's shorty boys...lol need advice help me out guy's

Love your video, did you drop yours lil bit?? Also what size the wheel you have on it??
Thanks no stock height. 22’ replicas
Would the xl allow for sheets of plywood to be put in the back? Standard 4x8’
Anyone have any idea what wheels those are? Thanks if so!👍
Whats the wheels setup size tires
Hey boss looking to get the same stance
Did you lower the car and what size wheels and tires 305/45/22 ?
Did u put spacers on the wheels or adapters thanks 👍
Would you buy one of these having mileage in the 200ks if it seemed to check out ok?
Yes but usually the interiors are shot at that point. Look for a well kept one in the 180k range
