If vehicle size is your priority, consider the GMC Yukon. This full-sized SUV has three rows of adult-friendly seating and a large cargo area inside the cabin. You’ll get an impressive towing capacity to haul a family-friendly camper easily. You’ll also enjoy a range of luxury features to make your cabin even more comfortable and optional off-roading and towing equipment to make your adventures easier. At our Hiley Buick GMC of Fort Worth dealership, we can help you configure the Yukon to your liking, including the extended Yukon XL variant.
Many drivers choose the Yukon because of its versatility. It can carry eight passengers, which is enough for most families. Even if you opt for captain’s chairs in the second row for a bit more comfort, you’ll still have a maximum capacity of seven.
If you need to haul more cargo than passengers, you can always fold down the third row or both rear rows to open up a cavernous cargo area. The standard Yukon boasts around 133 cubic feet of space behind the front row, while the extra-long Yukon XL offers an incredible 145 cubic feet. That’s enough to haul household furniture and other bulky items.
Another reason for the Yukon’s popularity is its strong engine lineup, which includes two V-8 options and a turbocharged diesel. The standard engine is a 5.3L V-8 that churns out 355 horsepower, providing plenty of power to shift around quickly. If you step up to the Denali trim, you can access a 6.2L V-8 capable of 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Finally, all trims in the Yukon offer the 3.0L turbodiesel, which generates 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque.
The Yukon’s towing and off-roading capabilities also stand out. With the base V-8 engine and rear-wheel drive, you can tow 8,400 pounds at the rear. The other engines can tow a maximum of 8,200 pounds. This capacity is ideal for pulling a big camper out of town. Moreover, you can add many towing assistance features, such as trailer cameras and hitch assists. If you prefer off-roading, you can check out the AT4 trims to gain access to upgraded suspensions, skid plates, and more.
The Yukon shines with a mammoth 16.8-inch infotainment touch screen to access your favorite music, climate control, and other settings. Second-row passengers can control their settings with an optional 8-inch touchscreen. Even rear-row passengers can have their own infotainment display with an optional upgrade.
Connectivity features include wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you want the best sound experience, check out the available 22-speaker stereo, with speakers mounted on the second-row headrests.
Standard safety features include forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. The available lane departure warning and lane-keep assist ensure that maneuvering this large SUV on the highway doesn’t have to be a chore. You can also access GM’s semi-automated driving system, known as Super Cruise. It performs speed adjustments and turns on certain road sections across the country. Finally, you can get various parking-assist features, including a surround-view camera to help you easily position your Yukon.
GMC slightly adjusted the Yukon trim lineup for the 2025 model year. The Elevation trim replaced the previous SLE and SLT trims. Even though it’s a base trim, you wouldn’t know it due to the upscale cabin, powerful V-8 engine, and large touch screen. Stepping up to the AT4 trim is wise if you plan to head off the beaten track. The off-roading air suspension can add 2 inches of ground clearance to your Yukon, helping you avoid rocks and other obstacles. If you want to relax in luxury on your off-roading adventure, consider the AT4 Ultimate. It has all the off-roading gear in the AT4 but adds massaging seats.
The Denali trim offers luxury leather seating and the larger V-8 engine under the hood. Opting for the range-topping Denali Ultimate will secure 24-inch wheels for your Yukon and second-row executive seats with the 22-speaker sound system.
Deciding whether to buy a new or pre-owned Yukon depends on your budget first and foremost. The 2025 GMC Yukon starts at $67,200, with the Denali Ultimate trim starting at $101,800.
If these sums seem unrealistic, our range of used and certified pre-owned GMC vehicles is worth considering. If you don’t mind driving a GMC that’s a couple of years old, you could find a Yukon at a significantly lower price. Our used vehicles are carefully maintained and reconditioned by our GMC auto technician team.
