2009 GMC Yukon Overview

Introduction

The GMC Yukon has a fresh and comfortable interior. Building on a recent redesign it carries over for 2009 with a sleek body mounted on a strong, stiff frame with power steering, disc brakes, and a touring suspension.

Available in 2WD or 4WD and in three trims, the Yukon seats up to nine passengers and is rated to tow up to 8200 pounds when properly equipped. The SLE and SLT trims have a choice of three V8 engines, one of which is E85 fuel compatible. A 295-hp 4.8-liter V8 is standard on rear-wheel drive models matched with a four-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed auto is standard with all other engines. A 320-hp 5.3-liter V8 is standard on four-wheel drive, available on two-wheel drive. A 403-hp 6.2-liter V8 is exclusive to the Denali trim. Safety features standard on all models include dual-stage front airbags, side curtain airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with dynamic rear proportioning, Stabilitrak stability control system with rollover mitigation, tire pressure monitoring system, and OnStar.

The 2009 model is a carryover from 2008.
