Like its Chevrolet siblings, the Yukon's independent rear suspension improves ride comfort, handling, and third-row room.
The standard 5.3-liter V8 is mated to a 10-speed automatic, and that powertrain supplies plenty of predictable, uninterrupted acceleration.
The ride is comfortable, although it's steadier in the Denali version, with its standard magnetic ride suspension.
Handling is secure though ponderous.
The enormous cabin is almost eerily quiet.
Cargo capacity is generous, weakening the case for the even larger Yukon XL.
Controls are very easy to use, except for the tricky electronic gear selector, and the tall hood cuts forward visibility.
GM's Super Cruise active driving assistance system is available.
