2027 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL: Prices, Trims, Engines and Towing

The 2027 GMC Yukon starts at $70,200 and the longer 2027 Yukon XL starts at $73,200, manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) at launch. Both are full-size, three-row SUVs for Central Indiana families who fill every row, haul a lot of gear or pull a trailer. Search our new inventory for a Yukon or Yukon XL on our lot in Anderson, Indiana.

The Yukon XL is the same SUV about 15 inches longer, with more cargo space behind every row. Both lengths share the same five trims and the same three engines: a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8 and a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. That makes length and engine the two choices that shape your Yukon most. The Duramax is the most efficient engine in either length.

Key Facts: 2027 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL

Yukon or Yukon XL: Which Length Fits

The 2027 Yukon and Yukon XL share the same trims and engines, so choosing between them comes down to length, cargo space and price. The Yukon XL's starting price is $3,000 more than the Yukon's at launch (2027 MSRP). For that, you get 16 more cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, which is the space that's left when every seat is taken.

On fuel economy, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates both lengths the same with the Duramax diesel. With either V8, the Yukon XL gives up one mile per gallon (mpg) combined at most.

  • Choose the Yukon if the third row is for occasional riders, your garage is on the short side or you want the lower starting price.
  • Choose the Yukon XL if all three rows are full most days and you still need room behind them for strollers, sports bags or luggage.

If you want three rows but don't need full-size cargo space or a big towing rating, the smaller 2027 GMC Acadia may suit you better.

Which Trim Should You Choose?

For the five 2027 Yukon trims, the choice comes down to the engine you want, a rugged or refined style and whether an Ultimate is worth the step up.

If you want the 6.2L V8, the AT4 is the lowest-priced trim that offers it. The Duramax diesel is available on every trim.

The AT4 and AT4 Ultimate lean rugged, and the Denali and Denali Ultimate lean refined.

At launch, the AT4 Ultimate starts $20,300 above the AT4, and the Denali Ultimate starts $21,700 above the Denali. In return, each Ultimate comes standard with equipment that is optional on its partner trim, including Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.

  • Elevation if you want the lowest starting price and seating for eight.
  • AT4 if your weekends include gravel roads, muddy lanes or a boat ramp.
  • Denali if you want a dressier Yukon that still offers the option of eight seats.
  • AT4 Ultimate if you like the AT4's rugged look and want the most equipment on that side of the lineup.
  • Denali Ultimate if you'd like the top of the lineup, including the option of executive second-row seats.

Yukon Engines and Fuel Economy

The 2027 Yukon and Yukon XL offer the same three engines, rated by GMC for horsepower and torque.

Engine Horsepower Torque (pound-feet) Fuel type (EPA) Standard on Available on
5.3L V8 355 383 Regular gasoline Elevation, AT4 -
6.2L V8 420 460 Premium gasoline Denali, AT4 Ultimate, Denali Ultimate AT4
3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six 305 495 Diesel - All five trims

Torque is the pulling force you feel from a stop or with a trailer behind you. Horsepower is what keeps that pull going at highway speed.

Fuel Economy by Length, Engine and Drive

The EPA rates each length, engine and drive combination separately, in city / highway / combined mpg.

Engine and drive 2027 Yukon 2027 Yukon XL
5.3L V8, 2WD 15 / 20 / 17 15 / 20 / 17
5.3L V8, 4WD 15 / 19 / 17 14 / 19 / 16
6.2L V8, 2WD 15 / 20 / 17 15 / 19 / 16
6.2L V8, 4WD 14 / 18 / 16 14 / 18 / 16
3.0L Duramax diesel, 2WD 21 / 26 / 23 21 / 26 / 23
3.0L Duramax diesel, 4WD 20 / 24 / 22 20 / 24 / 22

The Duramax diesel has the best EPA ratings in every combination. In 2WD, its combined rating is at least six mpg higher than either V8's in the same length. Between the two V8s, the 6.2L gives up one mpg combined at most.

Gas or Diesel?

  • 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel: the most torque of the three, and the pick for long highway commutes, like a daily I-69 run toward Indianapolis or Muncie. The EPA rates it at least five mpg higher on the highway than either V8 in the same length and drive.
  • 5.3L V8: the engine GMC pairs with 2WD and the Max Trailering Package for the Yukon's top tow rating.
  • 6.2L V8: the most horsepower of the three, for drivers who want the strongest gas engine.

Yukon Towing Capacity

GMC's maximum tow rating for the 2027 Yukon is 8,400 pounds, and it applies to a 2WD Yukon with the 5.3L V8 and the available Max Trailering Package. That's a little over four tons. Compare it with your trailer's loaded weight, not its empty weight.

Towing capacity varies by engine, drivetrain and configuration, so other setups carry ratings of their own. That includes a 4WD Yukon, a Yukon with the 6.2L V8 or the Duramax, and any Yukon XL.

GMC's Max Trailering Package adds Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, Hitch View, a trailer brake controller and an extra-capacity cooling system. It comes in the Elevation Premium Package, the AT4 Premium Plus Package and the Denali Advanced Technology Package.
