The good news is that there's a massive
landscape inside the GMC Yukon. If you have a big family, it's the perfect SUV
for road trips. Depending on the configuration, it can seat up to nine. Cargo
space is ample, and if you spring for the Yukon XL,
incredible.Â
And
for when you want to take the boat to Lake Mayers, the Yukon's towing capacity
exceeds 8,000 pounds, so all but the largest boats can make the trip. As a
three-row, full-size SUV, its practical utility dovetails with exceeding
comfort. Let's look deeper into the 2022 GMC Yukon.Â
