2024 GMC Yukon: Choosing the Right Trim

The 2024 GMC Yukon is one full-size SUV that can do just about anything. Its roomy 3-row seating makes it a practical SUV, and you can make it a rugged off-roader with the AT4 trim or an upscale luxury SUV in one of the Denali trims. It also has outstanding engines, which include two V8 options and an available turbodiesel. No matter how you configure your Yukon, it’s a modern SUV with truck-like capabilities.

The GMC Yukon primarily competes with full-size SUVs like the Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer, and Toyota Sequoia. It’s mechanically similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, and the Cadillac Escalade.

What’s New:

Other than new paint and wheel options, there are no notable changes to the GMC Yukon for 2024. We’re expecting a midcycle refresh for the 2025 model year.

Our Recommendation:

The SLT trim has the best balance of luxury and value in the Yukon lineup. It has upscale features like heated and ventilated leather seats, a Bose audio system, and modern safety tech while keeping the starting price below $65K.
