The 2024 GMC Yukon XL offers three robust engine choices, each paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission:

**5.3-liter V8:** 355 horsepower-a proven workhorse for everyday driving and moderate towing.

**6.2-liter V8:** 420 horsepower-the premium option for maximum power and performance.

**3.0-liter Duramax TurboDiesel:** 460 lb-ft of torque-efficient and strong for serious hauling.

All three engines work with a 2-speed Autotrac Transfer Case, letting you shift between 2WD and 4WD as conditions demand. Markquart Motors has new Yukon XL models in stock. To compare specs and see which engine fits your needs, call (715) 833-0444 or visit our new vehicle inventory online.
