2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500
The 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 is big, strong and willing to handle whatever
challenge is thrown its way. It has all the power and handling to perform
heavy-duty work on or off the beaten path. On the softer side of things,
the 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 is a reliable family vehicle with plenty of
comfort features to make long drives pleasant rather than painful. 2003
sees a new-and-improved Yukon line, as all models are given a complete
once-over, resulting in enhanced performance, safety and style.
Available Models
The ¾-ton 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 comes in 2WD and 4WD configurations.
A wealth of available optional equipment allows owners to tailor their
Yukons for whatever needs they have.
Interior Features
The 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500 can seat between seven and nine people very
easily. All-new seats feature a simpler, cleaner appearance and thicker
headrests improve comfort. A new driver information center provides nearly
twice as much crucial operating data and places it directly in front of
the driver for safe, easy viewing. Other highlights among the standard
features include AM/FM CD/cassette player, tri-zone automatic climate
control and cruise control.
A DVD entertainment system, featuring a 7-inch flip-down screen, two
wireless (infrared) headphones, a wireless remote control and three sets
of auxiliary video and audio inputs heads the options list.
Exterior Features
Like the Yukon XL 1500, the XL 2500 has a wheelbase of 130 inches. As
with all 2003 Yukons, the XL 2500 also offers a new four-position headlamp
switch that gives drivers the ability to turn off the daytime running
lamps and automatic headlamps for one ignition cycle, when necessary,
simply by reverse-rotating the headlamp switch.
Performance
The standard engine on the 2003 Yukon XL 2500 is supplemented with an
available upgrade. The base model comes with a 6.0-liter Vortec V8 with
320 horsepower. The upgrade, however, offers plenty of bite. An 8.1-liter
Vortec V8 boasting 340 horsepower, it will get up to speed in any condition.
For 2003, the ¾-ton Yukon XL offers GM's revolutionary Quadrasteer
four-wheel-steering system. Quadrasteer reduces curb-to-curb turning diameter
by 20 percent to 35 feet and increases track width by 5 inches for greater
stability.
Safety and Security
The available Quadrasteer system is as functional a safety feature as
any. Others features include four-wheel disc, four-wheel antilock brakes
with dual piston calipers and Dynamic Rear Proportioning and a sophisticated
dual-stage, dual-level airbag system, which uses a sensing system to automatically
deactivate the passenger-side airbag under certain conditions to protect
children.
