2019 GMC Yukon XL SLT

The Yukon XL is GMC's biggest SUV, the long-wheelbase version of the Yukon that seats up to nine and swallows gear behind the third row. It drives like a big truck, with a commanding view and a ride that's more about comfort than sport, which suits its role as a family hauler. The cabin is roomy and quiet, with a huge cargo area behind the third row that makes it a practical choice for large families or road trips. Yukon XLs have a solid reputation for durability, though they're known for thirstier fuel use and some electrical gremlins as they age. Heated and ventilated front seats with leather, plus the Enhanced Driver Alert Package, set the SLT apart from the SLE below it. Its 5.3L V8 makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which returns 16 mpg combined. The SLT comes with the Smooth Ride Suspension, so expect a comfortable highway cruiser rather than a sporty handler.
