If you've got your heart set on a GMC Yukon or Yukon XL, it's worth looking at a Chevrolet dealership to check out the Tahoe and Suburban.
At their core, they're the same vehicle, with only some minor styling and trim package differences, although there's no Chevy with the Denali's level of features.
The Ford Expedition has been the Yukon range's closest rival for about two decades now, and while it offers a strong turbo V-6 and two wheelbases, it feels dated inside and out.
Nissan's new Armada isn't as fresh as it looks—the model has been on sale for a few years as the Infiniti QX80 (and QX56 initially), but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
With its plush interior and refined suspension, the Armada is quite comfortable—and it's a strong value against the Yukon.
Then there's the Toyota Sequoia, which is overdue for an update but still boasts a quality feel and a reputation for reliability.
