2007 GMC Yukon SLT

The 2007 Yukon is GMC's full-size SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Tahoe and Expedition when you need real three-row space. It rides with the commanding view and planted feel you expect from a big body-on-frame SUV, and the steering is light enough for easy parking. Inside, the cabin is roomy and quiet, with comfortable seats and plenty of space for people and gear, though the third row is best for kids. Some owners mention cracked dashboards and finicky door handles, but many report trouble-free miles for years. The SLT is the mid-level trim, below the Denali with its 6.2L V8 and above the base SLE; you get the 5.3L V8 and available four-wheel drive instead of the Denali's standard AWD. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 making 320 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic and four-wheel drive; expect around 16 mpg combined in mixed driving. This is the trim where you can get GMC's Autoride suspension, which smooths out the ride when you're loaded down or towing.
