2014 GMC Yukon SLT

The Yukon is GMC's full-size SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Tahoe and Expedition when you need three rows and serious towing. It drives like a big truck, with a commanding view and a ride that soaks up highway miles, though you'll feel its size in tight spots. The cabin is roomy and upscale, with comfortable leather seats and plenty of cubbies for drinks and devices, but cargo space shrinks when all three rows are up. Available tech includes a touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, rear seat entertainment, and a rearview camera, which owners find handy in such a large vehicle. The SLT adds power-adjustable pedals, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel over the SLE, while keeping the same 5.3L V8. The 5.3L V8 makes 320 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which is enough to tow a boat or camper without breaking a sweat. Expect 17 mpg combined in this rear-wheel-drive SLT, which is typical for a full-size SUV of this size and weight.
