Summary
GMC Yukon is large enough to carry a crowd in comfort and it can haul a lot of cargo yet it's small enough to fit in the garage.The Yukon Denali is very luxurious yet more affordable than the Cadillac Escalade. Its styling is traditional and understated. Lots of power, comfortable accommodations, and safety features such as side-impact air bags place the Yukon Denali among the best of the full-size luxury SUVs.
