TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 GMC Yukon unleashes the power of the straight edge--and of GM's new 420-hp V-8.

The 2015 Nissan Armada has become one of the oldest vehicles in a segment filled with newer, more efficient, higher-tech alternatives.

TCC Dislikes

New look is hardcore straight-edge
Hybrid edition is gone
Can get very pricey at the upper end of the range

Poor handling
