The GMC Yukon is about to be renewed, but in its dotage it's still an excellent hauling and towing appliance.
It's similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, but in top trims, it's a rival for GM's own Cadillac Escalade.
They share the same powertrain, and some of the same features, though the Escalade undoubtedly wins the bling ring toss-up.
The Toyota Sequoia tends to be a little too heavy on the macho cues for many tastes, but with ride comfort the only major exception it's fully competitive in most respects.
The Nissan Armada remains another option; it's the thirstiest of the full-size SUVs, although it offers a strong value and has reasonably good performance.
In standard or long-wheelbase models, the Ford Expedition rides and handles as well as or better than the Yukon, but its V-8 engines are a step behind in power.
