2027 Yukon Specs Review in Ardmore

Explore the 2027 GMC Yukon in Ardmore, OK

The 2027 GMC Yukon brings three-row versatility and substantial towing capability together with a cabin that can lean toward everyday comfort, rugged utility, or Denali refinement. For Ardmore drivers who need room for passengers without giving up the ability to bring a trailer, it offers a useful combination of space, powertrain choice, and technology.

The 2027 GMC Yukon trim levels include Elevation, AT4, Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate, giving shoppers distinct ways to approach the same vehicle. Elevation emphasizes well-equipped practicality, AT4 adds off-road-oriented hardware, and Denali puts more attention on premium materials and amenities. Start by deciding how many people you carry, what you tow, and which comfort features you want to prioritize.

Three Rows Built Around Passengers

The Yukon's interior combines flexible seating with comfort features that reach beyond the front row. Heated front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control are standard across the lineup. Separate temperature settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants help accommodate different comfort preferences on the same trip. A second-row bench allows seating for eight, while second-row bucket seats create a seven-passenger layout. Elevation and AT4 include a second-row bench, with bucket seats available; Denali includes bucket seats, with a bench available subject to configuration restrictions. AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate use second-row bucket seats.

There are 44.5 inches of front legroom, 42.0 inches in the second row, and 34.9 inches in the third row. The power-folding 60/40 split third-row bench lets you change the cabin's priorities when passenger duty gives way to hauling gear. Cargo capacity measures 25.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 72.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and 122.8 cubic feet behind the first row with the rear seats folded. Those figures make it easier to plan realistically: keep all three rows upright for passengers, or fold unused seating when luggage and larger items take priority.

Materials and seating amenities distinguish the trims. AT4 features perforated leather seating surfaces in Forest Storm with Mahogany accents, while AT4 Ultimate uses full-grain leather in Obsidian Rush with Red accents. Denali Ultimate features full-grain leather in Woodland Mahogany. Both Ultimate trims include front-seat massage functions. Denali Ultimate also offers an Executive Second Row Seating Package with ventilated, power-adjustable, massaging captain's chairs. For child-seat installation, the Yukon includes lower anchors and top tethers in all second-row seating positions and top tethers in the third row. Follow the owner's manual and the child-seat manufacturer's instructions when choosing an installation position.

A Different Kind of Presence in Every Trim

The Yukon has a substantial footprint: 210.1 inches long, 81.0 inches wide without mirrors, and a 121-inch wheelbase. Consider those measurements alongside your garage space and regular parking routine. Standard LED headlamps and LED daytime running lamps give every trim a clear visual signature.

Elevation starts with 20-inch wheels finished in Satin Graphite. AT4 pairs 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, red recovery hooks, and a front skid plate, giving its appearance a functional purpose. AT4 Ultimate adds 20-inch wheels in Deep Void Matte Metallic. Denali includes 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, while Denali Ultimate uses 24-inch wheels in After Midnight Metallic, with a 22-inch wheel option available. Loading convenience also varies by trim. Elevation has a programmable power liftgate. AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate include the AutoSense Power Liftgate, which uses presence detection for hands-free access.

Color availability depends on trim and interior selection, and certain finishes cost extra. The 2027 Yukon paint choices include:

• Summit White
• Onyx Black
• Sterling Metallic
• Titanium Rush Metallic
• Volcanic Red Tintcoat
• Downpour Metallic
• Glacier White Tricoat, available on Denali and Denali Ultimate
• Coastal Dune, available on AT4 and AT4 Ultimate

Choose Your Powertrain Around the Job

The 2027 Yukon offers two V8 engines and an available Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel engine. Every powertrain pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, but their output and trim availability give each a different role.

Engine Options

• 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque; standard on Elevation and AT4
• 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque; available on AT4 and standard on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate
• Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque; available across the lineup, with package requirements on Elevation, AT4, and Denali

The 6.2-liter V8 provides more horsepower than the 5.3-liter V8, while the diesel supplies the highest torque output of the three. Neither fact means it automatically has the highest towing rating. Engine, drivetrain, and trailering equipment must be considered together.

Drivetrain Choices

Elevation and Denali offer rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations. AT4, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate are four-wheel-drive models. AT4 and AT4 Ultimate also include a two-speed transfer case for added versatility beyond paved roads.

Suspension and Ride Comfort

Suspension choices help tailor ride comfort to your priorities:

• Premium Smooth Ride: Standard on Elevation
• Magnetic Ride Control: Included on AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate
• Air Ride Adaptive Suspension: Included on both Ultimate trims and available on AT4 and Denali with the required equipment, adding ride-height adjustment

2027 GMC Yukon Towing Capacity

Maximum towing capacity depends on engine, drivetrain, and trailering equipment. When properly equipped:

• 5.3-liter V8 with Max Trailering Package: Up to 8,400 pounds with rear-wheel drive or 8,200 pounds with four-wheel drive
• 6.2-liter V8 with Max Trailering Package: Up to 8,200 pounds with rear-wheel drive or 8,000 pounds with four-wheel drive
• Duramax 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel: Up to 8,100 pounds with rear-wheel drive or 7,900 pounds with four-wheel drive

Without the Max Trailering Package, the gas-engine ratings are lower. Passengers, cargo, optional equipment, and trailer tongue weight also affect how much your specific vehicle can tow. Check the vehicle's labels and owner's manual before matching it with a boat, camper, or utility trailer. The available Max Trailering Package adds Hitch View and an integrated trailer brake controller to help with hitching and towing. The 2027 Yukon has a payload capacity of up to 1,540 pounds for the 5.3-liter four-wheel-drive configuration, depending on equipment. Account for passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight when checking the vehicle's load limits.

Technology That Makes a Large SUV Easier to Live With

The Premium GMC Infotainment System includes Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, connected apps, personalized profiles, and voice recognition. It puts entertainment and navigation functions within reach, with settings tailored to different drivers. Connected functionality may require compatible devices, data connectivity, and applicable service plans.

Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance is included on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate, and available through packages on Elevation and AT4. It works on compatible roads and requires an attentive driver; it is not autonomous driving. Applicable service-plan requirements and system limitations apply.

Technology highlights include:

• Standard 16.8-inch touchscreen: A large interface for infotainment functions and personalized settings
• Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Compatible smartphone integration without a cable connection
• Standard Surround Vision Recorder: Recording functionality through the Surround Vision camera system, including Security Recordings
• 15-inch Head-Up Display: Included on Denali and both Ultimate trims; available through the Technology Package on Elevation and AT4
• Bose® premium audio: A 10-speaker system on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; an 18-speaker system on both Ultimate trims, with a 22-speaker system available through Denali Ultimate's Executive Second Row Seating Package

Driver Assistance for Traffic, Parking, and Everyday Awareness

The Yukon's safety equipment includes systems designed to support awareness in moving traffic and during low-speed maneuvers. Adaptive Cruise Control and HD Surround Vision are standard across the lineup. The camera views are particularly useful when positioning a full-size SUV in parking spaces or checking nearby obstacles. Blind Zone Steering Assist is standard on Elevation, AT4, and Denali. The trailering-capable version is included on both Ultimate trims and available on the other trims with the Max Trailering Package.

Standard safety and driver-assistance features include:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Rear Pedestrian Alert
• Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist

These features assist the driver; they don't replace judgment, visibility checks, or attentive driving. Detection and operation depend on conditions and system limitations. Always remain ready to brake, steer, and take control.
