GMC Yukon at Davis Chevrolet
The GMC Yukon and the larger GMC Yukon XL stand out from the rest of the members for its industry segment. Both Yukon models offer three rows of seats and can accommodate up to nine passengers. There are very few models on the market today (outside the GM roster) that can match this kind of interior space. Online experts have lauded both 2023 Yukon iterations for their comfortable and quiet passenger cabin, cavernous cargo capacity and powerful available engines. Follow along with Davis Chevrolet while we take a closer look at the incredible 2023 Yukon family of SUVs.
