GMC Yukon Accessories.

A descendent of another American SUV favorite, the Jimmy, the GMC Yukon has been a mainstay in the world of full-size vehicles for almost 20 years. Originally based off of the GMT400 platform, the first-generation GMC Yukon utilized a truck chassis and in 1994, switched from being offered strictly as a 2-door to adding a 4-door model to the roster. Consequently, the 4-door Yukon weighed in about a half-ton more than the 2-door model. A 5.7L small-block V8 was the standard engine included but a 6.5L turbocharged V8 became available in 1994, as well. In 2000, the Yukon and the Tahoe (both are closely related) were redesigned and moved to the GMT800 platform, at the time the most recent platform for GM's full-size trucks. Smaller yet more powerful engines were introduced to replace the standard 5.7L from the first series, including a 5.3L Vortec V8 capable of topping out at 285 horsepower.

The outline of the body was now more aerodynamically friendly and the grille was improved for a bolder image. Inside the Yukon, upgraded seats, improved door panels, and a new dash were introduced. When 2003 arrived, the Yukon began to take on even more changes. StabiliTrak, GM's stability control system, arrived. Other amenities such as satellite radio and a DVD entertainment system were also offered. In 2004, the engine options were updated with GMC still leaning on smaller yet more efficient motors. A 4.8L Vortec was introduced that displayed the same horsepower as the original 5.3L (285). A new 5.3L Vortec became available and was rated for 295 HP.
Redesigned for the GMT900 platform, the third-generation GMC Yukon debuted in 2007. The front of the exterior featured a substantial number of changes. A smoother, curvier hood, new fascia, and larger grille highlight the restyling cues. New seats, real wood trim on the dash, chrome accents, and improved door panels make up the notable updates for the interior. Thanks to Active Fuel Management, highway fuel mileage improved to 19 mpg.2007-present GMC Yukon photographed in Montrea...Image via Wikipedia Active Fuel Management shuts down half the cylinders on the engine in order to conserve fuel during periods of light driving. The engine options were modified once again, with a 5.3L V8 (320 horsepower) standard on all 4-wheel drive versions of the Yukon. The base engine is still the 4.8L Vortec V8, only it is now capable of 10 more horsepower (295) compared to the previous generation. Sales expectations have been exceeded by the latest edition of the Yukon, despite the economic turbulence within the automotive industry. From 2000 to 2008, the GMC Yukon has sold on average 236,561 units per year, easily placing it among the elite in its class in terms of overall popularity.
In today's world, drivers crave versatility and options. They want safety, power, and comfort. With SUVs becoming such a staple on the automotive landscape, it is no wonder why many have flocked to the GMC Yukon. The rugged capability and bevy of options make the Yukon a crowd-pleaser. The improved, aerodynamic body, bold presence, and exterior trim accentuates what is a solidly stylish look rarely displayed on other SUVs. Flexible and plush, the GMC Yukon is one vehicle that delivers on every level.2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid photographed in USA.Image via Wikipedia
