GMC Yukon Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2000–2006) — Second Generation
The second-generation GMC Yukon is a large SUV whose powertrain deserves careful consideration. Your usual passenger load, driving conditions and fuel budget can help guide your choice.
GMC Yukon engine options include the gasoline 4.8 AT, pairing an automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The selected gasoline 8.1 AT example combines a larger engine with an automatic and rear-wheel drive. Larger engines generally make carrying heavy loads easier but use more fuel; all-wheel drive helps traction on slippery surfaces.
