GMC's Yukon XL was largely a retrimmed version of the Chevrolet Tahoe. Instead of calling Suburban as before, its longer model, Chevrolet continued to do GMC switched to the Yukon XL designation. Yukons came only in one capacity rating, but Yukon XLs were offered in half-ton 1500 and 3/4-ton 2500 versions. Those Front side airbags were newly standard of the car.

The bigger engine went into all Yukon XL 2500 wagons. Each model had a 4-speed automatic transmission, with GM's Tow/Haul mode that adjusted shift points. This kind of engine is what made possible for Yukon to pull trailer or accommodate heavy loads.
