The refreshed fifth-generation GMC Yukon is a large SUV with room for passengers and luggage. Your choice of engine and drivetrain matters particularly if you regularly travel long distances or carry a full load.
Among the GMC Yukon engine options, the 3.0 AT combines diesel power with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Diesels generally provide useful pulling power at low engine speeds, making them appealing for loaded journeys. With this drivetrain, consider rear-wheel traction if you frequently encounter snow or slippery inclines.
