  • The Yukon is GMC's largest SUV built. On the outside of the Denali Ultimate you will see 22in wheels, black chrome accents, unique wheels and electric running boards. On the inside you will be greeted by a special 2-tone leather, 10in infotainment system and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 pumping out 420HP & is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate a BETTER luxury SUV than a 2024 Cadillac Escalade?

I also know GMC is doing a redesign for 2025 hopefully with a panoramic sunroof in the Sierra. I have seen the Yukon ultimate and I go back and forth to what I want….. Yukon or Sierra…… I don’t tow. I do a some dump runs but trying to see what suits me best. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Yukon or Sierra? 😊
