Packing for a family winter getaway is rarely a minimalist exercise. There are suitcases, ski jackets, boots, snacks, and inevitably something somebody forgot until the last minute. The 2026 GMC Yukon understands the assignment. With three spacious rows, powerful engines, and available 4WD, this full-size SUV brings welcome flexibility to winter journeys around Grayling, MI, and beyond. Room for Everyone, Including Their Luggage The Yukon seats up to 8 passengers, or 7 with available second-row captain's chairs. Behind the third row, there's 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space, expanding to 122.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Need more? The extended Yukon XL offers 41.5 cubic feet behind its third row and up to 144.5 cubic feet overall. Available power-folding seats and a hands-free liftgate make switching between passengers and cargo considerably easier. Three Engines Ready for Bigger Plans Underneath the Yukon's substantial exterior sits a choice of three engines, all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard 5.3L V8 produces 355 hp and 383 lbs. ft. of torque. The available 6.2L V8 raises output to 420 hp and 460 lbs. ft. of torque, while the 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel delivers 305 hp and 495 lbs. ft. of torque. Properly equipped standard-length models can tow up to 8,400 lbs., making recreational trailers and family adventures part of the equation. Confidence When Michigan Weather Changes Available 4WD provides additional traction on challenging surfaces, while select configurations offer a two-speed transfer case and electronic limited-slip differential. Available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension adjusts vehicle height, and Magnetic Ride Control responds to changing road surfaces. These systems contribute to comfort and capability, although proper winter tires remain important for stopping and cornering on snow and ice. A Cabin That Keeps Everyone Comfortable The Yukon's centerpiece is a standard 16.8-inch Premium GMC Infotainment touchscreen featuring Google built-in compatibility. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support connected journeys, while available rear-seat entertainment screens help make longer trips more enjoyable. Multiple USB ports keep devices charged. Depending on trim, families can enjoy heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, tri-zone climate control, massaging front seats, and Bose® premium audio. Technology That Supports the Driver Standard safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Available HD Surround Vision makes maneuvering this sizeable SUV easier, while Rear Cross Traffic Braking and a Head-Up Display provide additional assistance. Super Cruise® offers hands-free driving on compatible roads under appropriate conditions. Winter weather can limit these systems, making driver attention essential.
