2020 GMC Yukon Towing Capacity

Looking for a hard-working family SUV that can handle towing jobs up to 8,400 pounds? That’s what you get with a properly-equipped new GMC Yukon — enough power to take a midsize to large camper trailer from Thomasville, GA to Panama City and beyond. Below, we’ll get into the 2020 GMC Yukon towing capacity across all trim levels, to help narrow your options as you decide between the Yukon and other powerful SUVs like the GMC Acadia.

How Much Can the GMC Yukon Tow?

The 2020 GMC Yukon is available in four trim levels: SLE, SLT Standard Edition, SLT, and Denali. The SLE offers a great value with a standard V8 engine that can tow 6,300 pounds, plus several standard driver-assist technology features. Moving to the mid-level trims adds convenience and towing safety features, and the top-of-the-line Denali comes with an engine upgrade for increased horsepower and torque.
