GMC Yukon Overview

When you hear the word Yukon, images of caribou and the vast Canadian landscape fill your imagination.  GMC added another evocative association to the Yukon name in 1992 with a full-size SUV that closely resembles the Chevy Tahoe.  The Yukon started out with 2 doors, added 4 door trims in 1995, then dropped the 2 door design altogether in 1999.

The powertrain started out as a 5.7 L, 210 hp V8 and eventually grew to 5.3 L and 320 hp by 2007.  After some public rumblings that the SUV could use an update, GMC answered the call in 2007 with a re-designed frame and exterior, better fuel economy, nicer interior, and smoother ride.  In addition, seating capacity increased from 5-6 to 8-9 in 2000.  

With increasingly stronger powertrains and more modern features, the rugged Yukon looks to keep going strong long into the 21st century.
