GMC Yukon – the collective page of the US pick-up-based SUV, Yukon and Yukon XL, Denali trim, 4.6 to 6.2-litre V8 displacement, 236 to 313 kW, 2.7 to 3.1 tonnes unladen weight
GMC, General Motors' commercial and off-road brand since 1912, has built the Yukon since 1991 as a large SUV on the same ladder frame as the Sierra and Silverado pick-ups – hence its classification in the register as a truck-based commercial vehicle rather than a classic passenger car. Yukon XL denotes the long-wheelbase version with extended load space, the earlier K2500 SLT designation the four-wheel-drive, three-quarter-ton trim, and Denali since 1999 the range's most luxurious trim line.

The register lists here 9 versions with 236 to 313 kW from eight-cylinders of 4,576 to 6,162 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 2,670 to 3,050 kg, gross weights from 3,538 to 3,901 kg, lengths from 5,179 to 5,760 mm and widths from 1,960 to 2,060 mm.
The Yukon competes in North America with the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, its technically near-identical corporate siblings, for the segment of large three-row SUVs with high towing capacity, and in Europe is sought mainly as an imported vehicle for families and as a tow vehicle.
On used examples, the condition of the cylinder-deactivation system (Active Fuel Management), air suspension on the Denali trim, wear on the six- or ten-speed automatic and rust on frame and brake lines on vehicles from road-salting regions count; parts are available through the GM dealer network in Europe and independent US importers.
