When it comes to large, three-row family-hauling, toy-towing muscle, the 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL are hard to beat. Redesigned from the ground up for 2021, the new Yukon borrows mechanicals from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, but goes its own way with unique looks and a few novel features.

Three engines are offered—two gasoline V-8s and a turbo-diesel inline-six—all mated to a 10-speed automatic that’s operated via GMC’s signature push-button gear selector. The cabin is roomier and better equipped than last year’s model and cargo space has increased as well—all the better for family vacations, trips to Home Depot, and tailgating parties—which earned it an Editors’ Choice award.
