GMC Yukon

The GMC Yukon is a full-size SUV that’s based on a truck. It uses many of the same components as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and the Cadillac Escalade. The Yukon has several available trims: a hybrid version, Denali, and extended wheelbase.

 For the second-generation Yukon, GM moved to the GMT800 architecture, and introduced new engines and transmissions, including a 4.8-liter V-8 and a 5.3-liter V-8. The eight-cylinders produced between 275 and 295 horsepower. Underneath, this Yukon range pulled its weight with either rear- or four-wheel drive; the Denali kept the on-demand all-wheel-drive system as an exclusive. This Yukon was sold through the 2006 model year, over the years gaining stability control, satellite radio and rear-seat entertainment systems.
