What GMC Yukon do most buyers choose?

The GMC Yukon years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for newer features while still staying within the used market.
