The 2026 GMC Yukon delivers impressive power with a standard 5.3L V8 producing 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Step up to the available 6.2L V8 for 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque-real muscle for towing and hauling. Both pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. The Yukon confidently tows up to 8,400 pounds and offers an available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel for drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency without sacrificing strength. The optional Active Response 4WD system distributes torque seamlessly for superior grip on challenging terrain, while the ProGrade Trailering System with integrated trailer app and multiple camera views makes towing safer and easier.
