200K and counting

[SRQYukon]

I'm the original owner of a 2003 Yukon XL and I couldn't be happier with my truck. Just clicked over 200K and she still runs strong. I just did a mild refresh of the exterior with new 22" snowflake wheels painted Eastwood platinum gray metallic, deleted the roof rack and painted the roof, hood and color-matched the rear bumper (thinking of doing the front), and color-matched the grille logo. I replaced the driver leather seat cover on the interior. Just need new carpet and audio upgrades to complete the interior. If anyone is think of owning a Yukon, you'll be happy to know that after 16 years I'm still completely satisfied.

Looks great. That’s the beauty of owning a good rig for a long time. You get to fix up areas and still have no car payment. Little things like seat cover make getting in it everyday a lot nicer.

Front bumper AND grill. Then its the headlights to get rid of the orange lens. Its not an if...

Good looking truck! I’m 4 years into owning a Yukon xl and I love mine as well. Good to know my 125k truck still has lots of life left in it! Haha.

You're right adriver. Front bumper, grille and headlights are next on the list.

Nice....... And you KNOW your truck........

After it's paid off, every day the Yukon pays yourself back....

 

[SRQYukon]

You're right. Having no payments for the past ten years has spoiled me. I have used this as my work truck all along and it tows an enclosed 2-ton trailer on a daily basis and a travel trailer a few times a year. I had to replace the rear diff at 180K and just replaced the trans at 195K. Not too bad, though, considering heavy use. The engine has had Mobil One every 6000 mile since the first oil change, so no signs of trouble and I don't expect any for another 100K

SRQ...... I knew my old '88 truck like the back of my hand... A secure feeling....

Buying this '05 XL last year, .....I was nervous for a while.... But heck..... It's seems 'perfect condition'...... I feel confident owning it now.

I am glad I keep hearing all the good reports about my Yukon...

BTW...... I live 20 min , north of you...
