The 2027 GMC Yukon is a full-size, body-on-frame three-row SUV starting at $69,900, with up to 420 horsepower available, 8,400 lbs of max trailering and seating for up to 8. Families cross-shopping a Terrain or Acadia for more room, and truck owners who want three rows without giving up real towing capacity, both end up here. Around Hot Springs that means boat trips to Lake Ouachita and Lake Hamilton, camper towing up Highway 70, and hauling everything a family needs for a week at Hot Springs National Park.

Allen Tillery Buick GMC stocks the Yukon lineup in Hot Springs and delivers to Arkadelphia, Hope, Bryant and the rest of the Ouachita area. Short version: if you need a truck's towing and a three-row SUV's seating in one vehicle, the Yukon is that vehicle, and which trim is right for you depends mostly on whether you want AT4's off-road hardware or Denali's cabin; both are covered below.

The 2027 model year carries no redesign, which is good news for a shopper, not a knock on the truck: pricing, dimensions, cargo and every engine are unchanged from 2026, so you're buying a fully sorted, known vehicle rather than a first-year gamble. Built on GM's shared full-size T1 platform alongside the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Yukon differentiates itself with GMC's own Denali and AT4 identities rather than a different frame or powertrain lineup.

2027 GMC Yukon Engines and Powertrain Options

Every 2027 Yukon runs a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the engine you get depends on the trim you pick. The 5.3L V8 is standard on Elevation and AT4, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Step up to Denali, AT4 Ultimate or Denali Ultimate and the 6.2L V8 becomes standard, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft, the jump most buyers notice first when they drive the two back to back. On any trim, the available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel trades some horsepower (305 hp) for torque (495 lb-ft) and real gains at the pump, and it is always a paid upgrade, never a no-cost base engine, whichever trim you start from.

Engine	Horsepower	Torque	Availability
5.3L V8	355 hp	383 lb-ft	Standard, Elevation and AT4
6.2L V8	420 hp	460 lb-ft	Standard, Denali and up
3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel	305 hp	495 lb-ft	Available, paid upgrade on every trim

Nothing about the powertrain lineup changed for 2027: the engines, the 10-speed automatic and the towing figures below all carry over from 2026 unchanged. If you want every trim's exact configuration-by-configuration EPA mileage side by side, the Specs and Dimensions page has the full tables.

2027 GMC Yukon Trim Lineup and Pricing

Elevation, from $69,900

The value entry point: the 5.3L V8, HD Surround Vision, heated front seats with a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row outboard seats that also power-release for third-row access. Available in RWD or 4WD.

AT4, from $77,600

The off-road pick, 4WD only: a high-approach-angle front fascia with a skid plate and red recovery hooks, heated and ventilated front seats, 20-inch Carbon Flash Metallic wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, and Magnetic Ride Control.

Denali, from $83,100 (RWD) / $86,100 (4WD)

The luxury pick: the 6.2L V8 standard, Super Cruise with a 3-year OnStar One plan, a multicolor 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display, a power-sliding center console and Magnetic Ride Control. The only trim besides Elevation offered in both RWD and 4WD.

AT4 Ultimate, from $98,200 (4WD only)

AT4's off-road hardware with Denali Ultimate's cabin: Super Cruise, Obsidian Rush full-grain leather with AT4 Ultimate badging, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and 16-way power front seats with massage.

Every figure above and the full standard-equipment list for each trim is on the Trims and Pricing page.

Technology and Connectivity

Every 2027 Yukon carries a 16.8-inch diagonal premium GMC infotainment system with Google built-in and voice-activated controls, plus OnStar's core services included for 8 years. From Denali up, Super Cruise takes over steering, acceleration and braking hands-free on compatible highways, paired with a 3-year OnStar One plan. The available multicolor 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display projects speed and navigation onto the windshield, and an available rear-seat media system adds dual 12.6-inch touch screens with Bluetooth headphone support and HDMI ports for back-seat passengers on the drive to Hot Springs Village or Little Rock. An available AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free when you walk up with the key fob, and a Surround Vision Recorder can save footage from the vehicle's cameras in 2-hour loops to a USB drive, with Security Recording automatically capturing footage if the alarm triggers for 30 seconds or more, genuinely useful in a hotel or trailhead parking lot around Hot Springs National Park where you can't always keep an eye on the truck.

Interior and Comfort

The Yukon seats up to 8, with 44.5 inches of front legroom, 42.0 inches in the second row and 34.9 inches in the third: real adult-usable space in every row, not just the first two. Every trim carries heated front seats and a heated steering wheel; AT4 and up add ventilation. Trim-by-trim, the cabin changes as much as the exterior does: Elevation runs heated front and second-row outboard leather-appointed seats; AT4 pairs heated and ventilated perforated leather in Forest Storm with Mahogany accents; Denali steps up to heated and ventilated perforated leather with heated second-row outboard seats; AT4 Ultimate's Obsidian Rush full-grain leather carries red accents and AT4 Ultimate badging; and Denali Ultimate's available second-row executive seating swaps the bench for heated and ventilated captain's chairs with massage and 14-way power adjustment. An available panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade runs the length of the cabin on higher trims, and configurable second- and third-row seating keeps the layout flexible between passengers and cargo.

Exterior styling moves with the trim too: Elevation rides on 20-inch Satin Graphite wheels with a distinctive grille; AT4 pairs its 20-inch Carbon Flash Metallic wheels with a Nightrider Chrome grille; Denali offers 20-inch wheels standard with 22-inch and 24-inch available in a range of finishes, plus chrome accents and assist steps; AT4 Ultimate carries a Dark Nickel Chrome grille over its own 20-inch wheels; and Denali Ultimate stands apart with 24-inch wheels, a Vader Chrome grille and power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting.

Towing, Payload and Cargo Space

Properly equipped, the 2027 Yukon offers up to 8,400 lbs of max trailering, with an available advanced trailering-assistance package to help with hitching and backing up. Max payload runs 2,017 lbs against a 7,400-lb GVWR (7,600 lbs available) and a 14,000-lb GCWR for trailer-plus-truck combinations. Cargo room is 122.8 cu ft behind the first row, 72.5 cu ft behind the second, and 25.5 cu ft behind the third with all seats in use, enough for a week of luggage for a family of six without folding a single seat. One figure to watch: GMC's own combined Yukon/Yukon XL page headlines a 144.5 cu ft cargo number; that is the longer-wheelbase Yukon XL's figure, not this Yukon's. If you need the extra length and cargo room, the Yukon vs Yukon XL comparison breaks down exactly what the XL adds and what it costs you in the driveway and the parking lot.

Safety and Driver Assistance

At speeds above 2 mph, standard Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking uses radar and camera technology to help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a vehicle you're following, providing hard braking or enhancing the driver's own braking automatically. Between 5 and 50 mph, standard Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking works the same way for a pedestrian or cyclist detected directly ahead, though GMC notes it has limited performance at night or in low visibility. Standard Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking extends that protection to cross-traffic at intersections, and standard HD Surround Vision gives selectable digital camera views around the vehicle, with a guideline showing where it's heading, to help with parking in tight lots around downtown Hot Springs. Standard IntelliBeam automatically switches high beams on and off above 25 mph based on surrounding traffic. Blind Zone Steering Assist can alert you and provide a brief, firm steering correction when a moving vehicle is detected in the lane you're entering, and an available Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist can steer, brake and shift gears to park the Yukon into a detected parallel or perpendicular space; you stay in the driver's seat and ready to override it. As GMC's own materials note, none of these systems replace an attentive driver, and their performance can be affected by visibility, weather and road conditions, which matters on the wet or icy grades that close roads around here more than snow ever does.

Which 2027 GMC Yukon Is Right for You?

Towing a boat or camper and want factory off-road protection? The AT4 pairs the 8,400-lb trailering ceiling with a skid plate and recovery hooks built in.

Moving up from a Terrain or Acadia and want more room without stepping up to the Yukon XL's length? The Elevation gets you the full-size cabin and cargo room at the lowest entry price.

Want Super Cruise, the Head-Up Display and a genuinely upscale cabin without AT4's off-road bias? The Denali is the volume pick most Hot Springs buyers cross-shop first.

Want AT4's hardware and Denali Ultimate's cabin in one truck? The AT4 Ultimate is the only trim that is both lifted and fully luxury-trimmed.

Want the flagship, full stop? The Denali Ultimate carries 24-inch wheels, Air Ride suspension, massaging seats and an 18-speaker Bose system.

Well-equipped pick: most Hot Springs shoppers who ask us "what should I actually buy" land on a 4WD Denali at $86,100, for Super Cruise and the luxury cabin without AT4 Ultimate's price jump.
