First and foremost, your SUV needs to be ready to take on the trials of the road ahead. That’s where expert engineering comes in. The GMC Yukon is built to tackle those challenges and make it look easy thanks to excellent mechanical design.
Having the strength to carry your whole group and their luggage calls for an intense motor. You’ll find three different engines available in the Yukon, each with the fierce design you need to seize the day. Whether you need traditional fuel or the sturdy power of diesel, the Yukon has you covered. Each motor is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission as well, ensuring smooth acceleration and optimal energy use.

Having that level of power is just the beginning—the rest is up to how you use it. The Yukon is well-suited for tricky terrain and off-road drives, especially with the available Active Response 4WD system. This drivetrain sends power from the engine to each wheel as needed to provide better traction and reliable performance on dirt, mud, and rocky paths.
Do you have extra-large gear to bring along with you? You can hitch a trailer to the Yukon and tow up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped, enough for campers of supplies and other toys for the great outdoors. You can have it all when you have the power of the Yukon on your side.
As powerful as the Yukon is, there’s much more that makes it such an iconic SUV. The cabin is designed with comfort in mind, both for you in the driver’s seat and for the rest of your riders. You’ll find something to appreciate on every drive inside the GMC Yukon.
The Yukon features seating for up to eight people, which is a must when your large group is getting ready for their week-long road trip. One surefire way to ensure everyone is comfortable is giving them enough room to stretch out and relax. The cabin provides ample room for everyone to find their comfort zone for the long haul.

If you have large cargo to transport instead, you can easily fold down the rear rows of seats. With the elongated Yukon XL model, you’ll have up to 144.7 cubic feet of space to use as you need.
The luxurious design of the GMC Yukon makes a welcoming atmosphere. The driver’s seat is made with obsessive comfort in mind. The available 16-way power-adjustable seat lets you find your ideal position for the long journey ahead. Once you find your sweet spot, the available massage function will keep you relaxed mile after mile.
When the sun is shining and the weather is just right, the dual-pane panoramic sunroof will make life in the back seat better. You can use the power slide and tilt function to give everyone a taste of fresh air and natural light.
A smarter SUV makes for a better drive. State-of-the-art design is at the core of modern vehicles, and the GMC Yukon has plenty to offer. You’ll find systems to give you peace of mind as well as a bold step into the future of driving.
The GMC Yukon puts the safety of you and your family first. That’s why it comes standard with an array of driver-assistive technologies that work in tandem with your safe driving skills. Using sensors and computing, these systems give you an advantage in case the unexpected happens:
Along with its suite of standard tech, the Yukon offers available features that go above and beyond what it means to drive. The available 15-inch Head-Up Display, for example, projects essential info directly onto the windshield. This multicolor display shows the info you need most, such as speed and incline degree, and lets you maintain focus on the road.
When you have a long stretch ahead, the available Super Cruise™ Hands-Free driver assist is there to help. This revolutionary system takes control of both speed and steering, allowing you to relax. There are more than 400,000 miles of roads compatible with Super Cruise™, and more are added every day.
The GMC Yukon is filled with high-tech features that take you into the future. Cutting-edge technology like hands-free driving and windshield projection displays are things you just won’t find in the Expedition. Ample legroom for you and your copilot is a sweet perk, too.
