How Much Can the GMC Yukon Tow?

The Yukon SLE base trim has a 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 engine that delivers 153 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 8,500 pounds. Each Yukon configuration comes equipped with the standard trailering hitch platform, seven-wire harness with independent fused trailering circuits mated to a seven-way connect, and two-inch trailering receiver. Eielson Airforce Base drivers can choose the available heavy-duty trailering packages, which features the above, plus:

Yukon Towing Safety Technology

The new GMC Yukon has the technology that allows you to remain safe while towing your items in the North Pole area:

  • Have control of your trailer’s brakes with the available trailer brake controller.
  • Hill Start Assist immediately holds the brakes, so you have time to switch from the brake to the accelerator when needed under certain conditions.
  • Trailer Sway Control keeps your new Yukon and trailer heading in the same direction. This system uses StabiliTrak sensors that will detect when your trailer is swaying.
