Consider it handled.
structure keep road harshness out while preserving responsiveness. All models
feature a fully independent front suspension and multilink rear suspension
coupled with advanced technology like StabiliTrak, antilock brakes, traction
control and available rear level control.
rear mUltilinK sUspension
Giving you a
smooth, refined ride in a variety of road conditions,
Yukon features a five-link coil-spring rear suspension.
all-wheel driVe
Available all-wheel drive on
Denali models transfers power to all four wheels
all the time. It's always activated, so you don't
have to fuss with controls to enjoy the benefits of
improved control.
aUtoride real-time dampinG
Engineered to
eliminate the compromise between a comfortable
ride and precise control, the available AutoRide
System senses changes in the road and adjusts
shock absorbers as you drive.
rear leVel Control
This system is included
with the available AutoRide System to constantly
sense and adjust rear suspension height for a level
ride height under varying load or passenger
conditions. Available on SLT and standard on Denali,
the system uses an onboard compressor to make
sure Yukon is level.
Yukon's strong frame and rigid body
staBilitraK staBilitY Control sYstem
The system helps you stay on the path you're steering
in bad weather or on uneven roads. It senses when
Yukon is not responding to steering inputs, then
adjusts engine speed and braking pressure at any
individual wheel to help maintain directional control.
trailer swaY Control
Keep both you and your
trailer heading in the proper direction, automatically.
This system uses StabiliTrak sensors to detect the
rocking of a swaying trailer, applying the vehicle's
brakes and the trailer brakes (if properly equipped) to
bring it back in line.
traCtion Control sYstem
To make the most of
available traction on many road surfaces, traction
control measures and compares wheel speed. If it
senses one or more wheels starting to spin, like on a
slippery surface, the system applies individual brakes
and manages engine power to slow the wheel and
maintain traction so you can move forward with a
better sense of control.
FUllY independent Front sUspension
The independent front suspension in Yukon uses
a strong and compact coil-over-shock system for
a tight turn radius and a smooth ride.

rear diFFerential
No other class competitor
offers an automatic locking rear differential for use
on-road or off. When the Eaton locker senses a
difference in rotational speed between left and right
rear wheels of approximately 100 rpm, it locks the
differential to turn both wheels in unison for
enhanced traction.
hill start assist
To help you hold your place
when parked on an incline, Hill Start senses potential
"rollback" and then holds full brake pressure when
you lift your foot from the pedal. You gain extra time
to apply power and drive off.
intelliGent BraKe assist
In an abrupt stop,
milliseconds can be your margin of safety. Intelligent
Brake Assist senses when you apply the brake
abruptly, increasing braking force so there's no need
to push the pedal all the way for improved reaction
time in panic situations.
power raCK-and-pinion steerinG
Standard
on all Yukon models, it provides a positive, on-center
feel at highway speeds, as well as extra low-speed
assist for tight maneuvering.
trailer BraKe Controller
For fingertip
control and easy monitoring of your trailer brakes,
Yukon offers an available integrated trailer brake
controller. It's located close to the steering wheel for
easy adjustments and displays the level of brake
force or "gain" in the Driver Information Center.
antiloCK BraKinG sYstem
(ABS) For confident
stops in a variety of conditions, Yukon features
four-channel antilock brakes. When the brakes are
applied, ABS detects impending wheel lock-up,
pulsing that wheel's brake to prevent it. This
four-channel system activates any combination of
brakes to maintain control.
