GMC YUKON/CHEVROLET TAHOE
Although changes to GMs full-size SUVs are limited to details for 2003, there are a lot of them. Tops on the list: the introduction of the StabiliTrak system, power-adjustable foot pedals, side-mirror turn-signal repeaters, new multiplex electronics, and several new infotainment features. The Tahoe, Yukon, and upscale Yukon Denali ride the GMT 800 platform, which we regard as the best in the big-truck biz. Were impressed with the ride, handling, and deportment of these GM cousins. Mechanically identical, the Tahoe and Yukon are offered with GMs 275-hp, 4.8-liter V-8 (standard) or a 285-hp, 5.3-liter V-8. Both engines are paired with a four-speed automatic, and towing capabilities range up to 8700 pounds. GMs Autotrac system is included on four-wheel-drive models. Both Tahoe and Yukon offer three-row seating, and second-row buckets are available for 2003.
