Due to its comfortable cabin and robust towing capabilities it is one of the most favorite among many SUVs lover. It is a full size SUV. It can accommodate up to 9 passengers. Driving is very comfortable and smooth on any road conditions. As per the design is concern, a little demerit is that the third-row seat does not fold flat and hence it has to be removed.

There is not much changes in 2008 Yukon as compared to the last year’s design is concern. Here are few changes that are being made to Yukon model:

• The 40/20/40-split front bench seat gets built-in storage compartments.

• OnStar turn-by-turn navigation becomes standard on the SLT trim.

• The side-curtain airbags are made standard across the board.

It is just great for the big families who require a spacious and relaxing full size SUV. It is of great use for towing and other heavy tasks. It meets up most of the demands of everyday needs of a family. If you compared its overall size with another similar model Yukon XL, it is few feet shorter. For this reason it is little easier to handle it while moving or turning and even during parking in the cities and suburban.
