Like the Chevy Tahoe it shares a platform with, GMC’s full-size SUVs were completely revised last year; they continue into 2007 with minor changes. The standard Yukon rides on a new 116-inch wheelbase, with an overall length of 202 inches. It has a wider track than the previous-generation Yukon, too. Both design changes were incorporated to improve the stability as well as ride and handling of this large SUV. Extended-wheelbase Yukon XL (and Denali XL) models have exterior dimensions similar to the regular models, but are about 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer in overall length. Both Yukon and Yukon XL are available in SLE (cloth trim) and SLT trim (leather appointments), in either rear- or four-wheel-drive configurations. A third-row seat is standard on Yukon XL models and available on Yukon. Denali models share basic specifications but come standard with more luxury features, as well as a standard and unique to this model a 6.2-liter, 380-horsepower V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Regular Yukons offer standard 4.8-liter (295 horsepower), 5.3-liter (310 or 320 horsepower), and 6.0-liter (366 horsepower) V-8s with four-speed automatic transmissions. E85/flex-fuel capability is offered with the 5.3-liter V-8 engine. Traction and stability control are standard on all Yukon models; the max tow rating is 7900 pounds (Denali models).
