2016 GMC Yukon Overview
2016 GMC Yukon Denali
The 2016 GMC Yukon is a three-row SUV that does all the things a minivan can do without actually having to…you know…be a minivan. And, indeed, the 2016 Yukon is far from a minivan with more style than it knows what to do with and technology out the wazoo, all without skimping on the performance consumers demand from a full-size SUV.
The 2016 GMC Yukon is available in three trims: SLE, SLT, and Denali.
