Reviews SummaryWith options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Cadillac Escalade isn't just a luxury family hauler. It's one of the most high-tech SUVs you can buy today. In its Escalade ESV format, the model offers buyers more cargo room but keeps passenger space nearly the same. Though it's longer and heavier, the Escalade ESV has a secret: it's actually better to drive than its little brother. | |
