Adventuring across New Jersey with your family calls for an SUV with ample power and a comfortable cabin. That’s where the 2025 GMC Yukon comes in, packing a V8 engine, three rows of seats, and a wealth of amenities.
Roaring V8 Engine
Propelling the mighty full-size SUV is a 5.3L V8 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine generates a robust 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, and the transmission provides silky smooth shifts. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, conserving fuel and making steering more predictable, but you can opt for all-wheel drive (AWD) if you prioritize better all-weather performance.
Those who want more horsepower at their disposal can choose the available 6.2L V8 engine. This powerplant kicks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque and comes mated to the same 10-speed automatic transmission as the base engine.
Available Diesel Engine
Driving vast distances is often more comfortable with a diesel powertrain, which is why the GMC Yukon offers an available 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine. It churns out 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine includes active thermal management technology, so you don’t need to worry about performance drops when facing summer’s extreme heat or winter’s bitter cold.
Impressive Towing Capability
You can effortlessly pull a travel trailer behind the Yukon thanks to its 8,400-lb max towing capacity. To achieve this capability, the SUV needs to be equipped with the base V8 engine and the available Elevation Premium Package. The Yukon also offers a host of available trailering technology to make handling heavy loads more convenient. These include trailer sway control, blind zone steering assist with trailering, and an auxiliary trailer camera.
Spacious Cabin
All three rows in the Yukon can comfortably accommodate six-foot-tall passengers. There are 44.5 inches of legroom and 42.3 inches of headroom in the front row and 42 inches of legroom and 38.9 inches of headroom in the second row. While most SUVs come with extremely cramped third row seats, the Yukon offers a whopping 34.9 inches of legroom and 38.2 inches of headroom in its rearmost row.
Luxury Creature Comforts
Passengers in the base Yukon are treated to comfortable leather seats with 8-way power adjustment and heating for the front row. Standard in-cabin amenities include tri-zone automatic climate control, a 16.8-inch infotainment screen, a Bose CenterPoint 10-speaker audio system, and wireless phone charging. Choosing a higher trim level, such as the Denali, introduces additional creature comforts like ventilated and massaging front seats, heated second-row seats, and a Bose Performance Series CenterPoint 18-speaker audio system.
