What GMC Yukon XL do most buyers choose?

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

What is the GMC Yukon XL's resale value?

The table shows broad year-over-year price declines across every model year listed, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The drops are mostly double-digit, so buyers are seeing meaningful movement in pricing rather than small shifts. That creates opportunities to find stronger value, especially on recent model years.

The 2023, 2018, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used GMC Yukon XL now or wait for the next model?
