2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 LT 6.0 from North America
Summary:
Tough and capable workhorse that is very dependable
Faults:
Front wheel bearings, pitman arm, battery.
General Comments:
Great tow vehicle. Hauling so many people in it (8 comfy) is easy. Durable and tough truck.
Comfortable ride, with the leather seats and stable to drive. Gas hog (13-14mpg) is the worst complaint, but when you get one of these, you don't buy it for the gas mileage!
I have owned the 2005 version for 5 years, this is same truck. They are known for front wheel bearings and front suspension problems. They also rust horribly at the side rockers and rear quarter panels; make sure to spray it or get it undercoated.
The 6.0 engine is bullet proof, and the L80 trans starts to slip around 170K usually.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'm confused... You bought a two year old Yukon in 2005, and you are complaining about everything wearing out after less than one year of use? Was it already worn when you purchased it, or did the significant wear appear after you had taken ownership?
