Vehicle Summary: 2008
GMC Yukon
The GMC Yukon rides on a strong, stiff chassis that affords sophistication, comfort, and performance for such a big and brawny vehicle. It is especially adept at towing and hauling. It is available with either rear- or all-wheel drive and comes powered by a choice of robust V8 engines, some of which feature Active Fuel Management technology that shuts down half the cylinders when not needed to help boost fuel economy. Exterior styling is handsome but unremarkable, though the interior has recently improved.
