The Yukon XL is, appropriately, longer in both wheelbase and overall length than the standard length Yukon, 14 and 20.4 inches, respectively, to be exact. The Extra Length Yukon, then, is more capable at carrying things inside it, and therefore gets a bigger optional engine.

New for the latest generation is standard stability control and a six-speed automatic for the heavier-duty 3/4-ton models and standard side curtain air bags across the range.

The 4.8-liter V8 available on the shorty Yukon is nowhere to be found here, replaced by the 5.3-liter V8 as standard equipment on the 1/2-ton models, and a 6.0-liter V8 on the 3/4-ton models.

Power is rated at 320 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 335 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm for the 5.3-liter V8. This engine is partnered with a six-speed automatic transmission. The combo returns 15 mpg on the EPA's city cycle, and 21 mpg on the highway.

The first optional engine (standard on 3/4-ton models) is a 6.0-liter V8 with variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management that makes 352 hp at 5,500 rpm and 382 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm and is available as a standalone option on the SLT trims of the half-ton XL.

The final optional engine is a 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 395 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. This engine will return 12 city and 19 highway on two-wheel drive vehicles - and is not available in four-wheel drive configurations.

The half-ton XLs are able to tow a maximum of 7,200 lbs in 2WD guise, while the 3/4-ton variants can manage up to 8,600 pounds in either two- or four-wheel drive models.

The rest of the Yukon XL is very much the same as its shorter counterpart, albeit, obviously, a bit roomier inside.

The SLE features standard air conditioning, (available tri-zone
automatic climate control), standard AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3
playback, standard USB port for audio, Bluetooth for phone, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls and power door locks and windows.

There is also an SLE equipment package, which adds new features inside and out, such as fog lamps, rear HVAC controls, power seats, and a Bose premium audio system.

Alternatively, one can skip the SLE with the equipment package and go to the up-level SLT, which includes everything on the SLE with equipment package plus more interior features.

The SLT with equipment package adds to that: power tractable assist steps, power-operated liftgate, heated and power-controlled exterior mirrors, heated leather seats in the front and second rows, and available cooled seats.

Safety features include head curtain side air bags and seat-mounted side-impact air bags, both standard.
