GMC Yukon

(2 available)
The 2013 GMC Yukon carries over unchanged except for a new exterior color (Champagne Silver Metallic) and the ability to use powertrain grade braking in normal transmission mode to reduce brake wear when going downhill.
The 2012 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL receive some minor upgrades and equipment. A heated steering wheel is now available on SLT trims (except for 2500 models), and heated front seats are made standard on all SLTs. A third-row screen is added to Yukon XL models with the rear-seat DVD entertainment package, and trailer sway control and hill start assist are added to the StabiliTrak stability control system. The Denali trims gain side blind zone alert as standard equipment.
GMC's full-size 2012 Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs represent the biggest, boldest SUVs around. Sharing their platform and interior layout with the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the Yukon twins add a bit more upscale feeling to the design, with the Denali trim treading close to Cadillac Escalade territory. Beyond the styling differences, what really sets the 2012 GMC Yukon XL apart from the Ford Expedition EL and Toyota Sequoia is its available 2500 3/4-ton model that provides more towing and hauling capacity than anything in its class (outside of GM, that is). The 2012 GMC Yukon (twin to the Chevy Tahoe) is slightly shorter and doesn't offer the 2500 model, but it can be had with a hybrid powertrain that's EPA-rated at 20 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.
