The 2011 GMC Yukon has a many features and technological advancements as any vehicle out there but when you get down to it, the Yukon is really all about towing. There are a lot of reasons to tow. You may be in the building trades and need to haul tools and materials. Landscapers need to haul mowers and equipment. It might be a weekend thing and you want to haul a boat or camping trailer. Whatever the reasons are to tow, one thing is for sure: no one wants to hook a trailer up to a vehicle that can’t handle it. That’s where the 2011 GMC Yukon steps in. GMC Yukon is the no-excuses full-size SUV engineered for those who refuse to sacrifice capability for refinement or capacity for efficiency.
From the confident power of the Vortec engine family to the advanced stability control systems, Yukon is engineered from the ground up for trailering. With available seating for up to nine or best-in-class 137.4 cu. ft. of cargo volume, Yukon XL is the choice for maximum passenger and cargo capacity. The Yukon XL features a ¾-ton model not offered by any competitor. This provides a trailer weight rating of 9600 lbs and a best-in-class maximum payload of up to 2454 lbs. Because using Yukon’s capacity shouldn’t test your limits, the 6-speed automatic has two standard assists. First is the Tow/Haul mode, which works to reduce excess shifting when towing or carrying a heavy load.
It also automatically engages the second feature, called Grade Braking. This changes the timing of gear shifts to use the engine and the transmission to slow the vehicle, to reduce demand on the brakes and help to produce confident descents. No other competitor offers the confidence of Yukon’s available trailer brake controller. It is completely integrated with the Yukon’s electrical and ABS systems, allowing your trailer brakes to operate simultaneously with your vehicle brakes.
To suit changing conditions, this system also allows you to adjust the trailer brake force from the controller switch located on your lower left instrument panel. For greater traction on poor road surfaces, Yukon is equipped with the fully automatic Eaton Locking Rear Differential. When it senses one wheel slipping more than another, it locks both to turn at the same speed for extra traction. No other competitor in its class offers this type of traction enhancing technology.
To give you immediate acceleration with strong reserve response at almost any speed, the standard Vortec 5.3L V-8 with Active Fuel Management is tuned to deliver its power across a wide RPM range. This engine also offers the best highway fuel economy of any conventional gas V-8 in its class, an EPA-estimated 21 mpg hwy. At 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, the Vortec 6.2L V-8 engine that is standard in Yukon Denali and Yukon offers the most horsepower and torque in its class.
All 5.3L and 6.2L Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission engineered to extract optimum performance from the Vortec engine. Standard with all 6-speed automatics is Driver Shift Control, which lets you manually shift gears to suit driving conditions. Shift to the “M” position and DSC will also allow you to shift gears up and down with the +/- tap shift selector.
With the Remote Start feature, one touch of your electronic key fob can start the engine and begin heating or cooling your cabin. In addition to its impressive passenger and cargo capacity, Yukon is also easy to load. With the available power liftgate, you can open and close it with the touch of a button.
Large, high-capacity four-wheel disc brakes with ABS are engineered into every Yukon model for confident stops, time after time. For extra assistance, the system offers brake assist that can sense a sudden stop and apply full pedal pressure to help stop or slow your Yukon as quickly as possible for the conditions. For a smooth, stable ride under a variety of conditions, the Yukon is engineered with coil-over-shock front and five-link coil spring rear suspensions.
Yes, Yukon has every possible option from Bluetooth to DVD and gaming to navigation and OnStar but, would any of that matter if it wasn’t one the most capable towing vehicles on the planet.
