The 2020 GMC Yukon XL comes with four wheel drive, and rear wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 10-speed shiftable automatic, 6-speed shiftable automatic.The Yukon XL carries over essentially unchanged for 2020.

Pros
Seats up to nine passengers
Plenty of cargo capacity, even with all the seats up
High towing ratings

Cons
Size, weight and length make it unwieldy around town
Slow gas pedal response makes base engine feel less powerful than it's rated
Cargo space utility is limited by the high load floor

The 2020 GMC Yukon is a business-casual blue-collar SUV with truck-like capability, but many crossovers do it better, and cheaper.

Pros
Strong V-8 engines
Massive towing capacity
High-class interior
Business-class looks
Comfortable ride quality on Denali

Cons
Limited cargo space
High top-end price
Floor height hampers leg room
Most crossovers do people better

Pros
Plenty of space throughout the three rows of seats,
several good engine choices,
comfortable ride.

Cons
More expensive than Chevrolet analogue,
most models guzzle gas,
might not fit in your garage.

By:

Pros
Comfortable ride and quiet interior
Climate control system is impressive
Optional 6.2-liter V8 makes robust power
Generous cargo capacity

Cons
Hard to maneuver in parking lots and city streets
Driver's seat lacks adjustability
Ponderous handling
Not much different than the less expensive Chevrolet Tahoe
