Across the line, editors at TheCarConnection.com find that the 2009 GMC Yukon offers plenty of features. A wide range of options allows drivers to choose a smart and personalized customization.

The 2009 GMC Yukon leaves the factory with a long list of standard features. The premium GMC Yukon 2009 sound system is a hit in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, and Kelley Blue Book states it incorporates a "six-CD changer" and "Bose 10-speaker Centerpoint Surround Sound audio." Edmunds says that "niceties like leather upholstery, heated seats in the first two rows, power-adjustable pedals," and a "rear park assist are all standard."

In addition to the numerous standard features, there are quite a few noteworthy options on the 2009 GMC Yukon. Edmunds also lists "additional optional equipment in the form of a sunroof" and "rearview camera," while Kelley Blue Book reviewers mention "20-inch wheels" are available on the GMC Yukon 2009 XL Denali SUV. Kelley Blue Book reports "some tempting extras are available," including a "navigation system" and "DVD entertainment." The GMC Yukon 2009 navigation system scores particularly well among reviewers, with Edmunds calling it "one of the best out there, with its intuitive design and large, brightly lit display." New options for 2009 include a Bluetooth hands-free interface, XM NavTraffic, and a Luxury Package. Other desirable options include a "power sunroof" and "power-deployable running boards," which ConsumerGuide says are available for $995 and $1,095, respectively.

Conclusion

The 2009 GMC Yukon offers generous standard features, along with seemingly endless option possibilities.

Other Choices:

If you need a vehicle that’s good for towing, people-hauling, and even modest off-roading, you should put the 2009 GMC Yukon on your list. The 2009 GMC Yukon can tow four tons, besting the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada in this important category. And although the Armada is arguably a bit more stylish from a distance, the Yukon has a better-executed interior, with pleasing materials. The Sequoia and Armada are both larger than the Yukon and Yukon Denali, but not quite as enormous as the long-wheelbase Yukon XL and Denali XL. The big GMC offers a wider choice of engines than the Ford Expedition, and the differences in performance are notable. However, the Ford performs well, and TheCarConnection.com's editors appreciate its comparatively better ride quality.

    this yukon is basically a box on four wheels, the yukon is big and bulky and should be down sized. the 2009 ford explorer eddie bauer is a lot better than the yukon denali version. buy a ford not a gm!!!
