The 2021 GMC Acadia offers four trim levels — SLE, SLT, the off-road-ready AT4, and the luxurious Denali. It offers a versatile interior to accommodate passengers and gear and offers an advanced suite of driver-assist technologies, designed to safeguard you and your passengers.

2021 GMC Yukon
The full-size GMC Yukon, which is the largest SUV in the GMC lineup, delivers a powerful performance with a 5.3-liter V8 paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission to generate 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the available 6.2-liter V8 engine, also paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission, to earn best-in-class horsepower of 420 and 460 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, the 2021 GMC Yukon can tow a maximum weight of 8,400 pounds.
“The GMC Yukon is a large SUV with an upscale cabin and a cavernous interior. Redesigned for 2021, the Yukon increases its cargo space and third-row legroom,” Trop notes.
The 2021 GMC Yukon offers the same trim levels as the 2021 Acadia. The Yukon XL has a larger wheelbase than the Yukon models.
