Explore our GMC Yukon XL guides (2000–present), built for shoppers and owners who need maximum space and real-world capability. Each guide breaks down core specs and dimensions—wheelbase, overall length, seating and cargo volume—so you can compare generations and trims with confidence. You’ll also get clear coverage of powertrains and transmissions, including how they behave in daily driving, typical fuel use in mixed and highway conditions, and what changes when you choose 2WD vs 4WD.

Because Yukon XL ownership often involves hauling people and gear, we include towing and payload insights, hitch and cooling considerations, and what to expect when towing regularly. Safety and driver-assistance coverage is explained in plain language, with notes on features that may need calibration after windshield, bumper, or suspension work. Finally, we highlight common reliability issues by symptoms and mileage, summarize recalls and service actions, and provide practical maintenance schedules (time and distance) to help you buy the right Yukon XL and keep it dependable long-term.
