2017 GMC Yukon XL Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits GMC's workhorse 5.3L V8 OHV engine producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth automatic transmission. In real-world driving, this combination delivers confident power whether you're merging onto I-94, towing a trailer up north, or loading up the family for a road trip. The Yukon XL's full-size body-on-frame architecture provides exceptional towing capacity — up to 8,000 lbs when properly equipped — making it a legitimate work-and-play vehicle. The 5.3L unit also benefits from GM's Active Fuel Management system, which deactivates cylinders during light-load driving to help stretch fuel economy on longer highway runs.

GMC Yukon XL SLT Features and Interior

The SLT trim is where the Yukon XL starts to feel genuinely luxurious. Expect a well-appointed interior featuring leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, and GMC's IntelliLink infotainment system with touchscreen, Bluetooth, and available navigation. The Yukon XL's extended wheelbase means true three-row seating with usable third-row space — not the cramped afterthought you find in smaller crossovers. Cargo room behind the third row is generous, and fold the seats flat and you have one of the largest cargo floors in any production SUV. Power-adjustable pedals, a rear-view camera, remote start, and keyless entry round out the SLT's comfort-focused feature set.

GMC Yukon XL Reliability and Ownership

The GMT K2 platform underpinning the 2017 Yukon XL is shared with the Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, and Silverado — one of GM's most tested and durable architectures. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable V8 engines in the industry, with a strong track record among fleet operators, police departments, and high-mileage private owners alike. Known issues to watch on this generation include occasional AFM lifter wear at higher mileages — a common point for a pre-purchase inspection. Overall, owners consistently report satisfaction with the platform's durability, parts availability, and straightforward repair costs compared to European luxury SUVs in the same size class.
