THE TRAILERING LEADER.
the challenges of real life bring out the best in yukon. For work, recreation
or somewhere in between, we went beyond the sheer capacity to not only help
you shoulder the load but to enjoy the experience. From the confident power
of the vortec engine family to the advanced stability control systems, yukon
is engineered from the ground up for trailering, ready for any challenge and
comfortable in any situation.

with available seating for up to nine or best-in-class 137.4 cu. ft. of cargo

the yukon xl features a ¾-ton model not offered by any competitor. this
provides a trailer weight rating of 9600 lbs
and a best-in-class maximum

payload of up to 2454 lbs.

because using yukon's capacity shouldn't test your limits, the 6-speed automatic
has two standard assists. First is the tow/haul mode, which works to reduce
excess shifting when towing or carrying a heavy load. it also automatically
engages the second feature, called grade braking. this changes the timing of gear
shifts to use the engine and the transmission to slow the vehicle, to reduce demand
on the brakes and help to produce confident descents.

no other competitor offers the confidence of yukon's available trailer brake
controller. it is completely integrated with the yukon's electrical and abs
systems, allowing your trailer brakes to operate simultaneously with your
vehicle brakes. to suit changing conditions, this system also allows you to
adjust the trailer brake force (or "gain") from the controller switch located
on your lower left instrument panel.
Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve
