The 2026 GMC Yukon offers two impressive engine choices. The standard 5.3L V8 delivers solid performance for daily driving, while the available 6.2L V8 cranks up the power to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque for those who want extra muscle.

Both engines pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. The Yukon is also available with the ProGrade Trailering System, designed to handle towing and hauling with confidence. If you have specific towing needs or want to compare the engines side by side, our sales team can walk you through the options and help you find the right fit.
