Standard on all Yukon models, the
StabiliTrak stability control system
is engineered to heighten safety
on most road surfaces, even
during emergency maneuvers.
Sensors read the position of your
steering wheel, vehicle speed,
brake pressure, lateral accelera-
tion and turning rate, then feed
the data to an onboard computer.
If your Yukon is not responding
adequately to your steering input,
the computer adjusts engine
torque and brake pressure to any
individual wheel to help you keep
on track. StabiliTrak can even
help to mitigate the chance of
a rollover. Even with 2WD, Yukon
and Yukon Denali models with this
technology provide confidence
heavy-load conditions. Yukon
Denali and Yukon XL Denali take
it to the next level with Auto-Ride
real-time damping. This system
varies shock absorber stiffness
in response to changing driving
conditions in real time. Rear
shocks have airlift/auto-leveling
capability. MagnaRide for Yukon
Denali Hybrid takes computer-
controlled real-time damping into
the ultra-luxury realm without
sacrificing Yukon's agile handling.
in varied driving conditions.
On 4WD models, including both
Yukon Hybrid and Yukon Denali
Hybrid, the Autotrac system pro-
vides seamless transitions from
2WD to 4WD. In normal condi-
tions, a computer chip monitors
slippage in the rear wheels. When
the system senses that all-wheel
traction is necessary, it converts
Yukon from 2WD to 4WD, instantly
increasing torque to its front axle.
For those seeking the ultimate,
Yukon Denali offers available full-
time AWD fully integrated with
StabiliTrak and other chassis con-
trols. Its ride and handling are on
a par with the outstanding power
of the Vortec 6.2L V-8.
