How Much Can the GMC Yukon Tow?

Whether you’re taking on the daily Waycross commute or hitting the road with the family, you’re supported by powerful V8 performance. Each model, except the high-tier Denali trim, is equipped with a standard 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 engine that generates 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque with a standard GMC Yukon towing capacity of up to 7,900 pounds. Those standard capabilities are strengthened by a standard trailering hitch that features a seven-wire harness with independent fused trailering circuits and a two-inch trailering receiver.

To reach how much the GMC Yukon can tow at its top capacity, you’ll need the available Heavy-Duty Trailering package, as well. The package includes: 

  • Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
  • 3.42 Axle Ratio
  • Two-Speed Active Transfer Case on 4WD Models Only
  • Premium Smooth Ride Suspension with Rear Air Leveler
  • Yukon Maximum Payload: 1,910 pounds
