GMC Yukon XL is practically as popular as its smaller sibling. Offered in ½-ton 1500 models and ¾-ton 2500s, the Yukon XL doesn't up the passenger capacity, but it does create an exceptionally roomy interior cabin. Fourteen inches are added to the regular length Yukon's wheelbase with XL models. This creates an arena-like atmosphere inside the full-size SUV. Needless to say, there is plenty of cargo-carrying ability with GMC's mainstay. It's a well-equipped vehicle and a good choice for families of six or more. It offers comfortable seating for six people and can be equipped to seat up to nine. It's a good choice for families who find themselves needing three rows of seats on a daily basis. Even when fully loaded with people, there's space left over for large amounts of gear.
