2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 - Cars.com News (blog)

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. The 2012 GMC Yukon XL combines room and capability like few SUVs can, but unless you're getting the high-line Denali trim, it's hard to see why you wouldn't pick its cheaper twin, the Chevrolet Suburban. The Yukon XL is GMC's version of the Suburban (compare them here ) and it gets a few updates for 2012. As its name suggests, the Yukon XL is an extension of the shorter Yukon. It's GMC's largest SUV, and it competes with the Ford Expedition EL and Toyota Sequoia. Variants include the half-ton Yukon XL 1500 and the three-quarter-ton Yukon XL 2500. Trims are the base SLE, midlevel SLT and top-of-the-line Denali (1500 only). We drove a four-wheel-drive Yukon XL 1500 SLT. I recently reviewed the Suburban , so I'll focus here on what differentiates the Yukon XL from the Suburban. Our test car's optional adaptive suspension made for excellent ride quality, but like the Suburban, the Yukon XL needs grooming. Source: www.cars.com
