A comparison of engines and performance
As noted in the table above, both the new GMC Yukon and the Chevy Tahoe start with a standard 5.3-liter V8 engine, while offering an available 6.2-liter V-8, and an available 3.0-liter diesel. Both SUVs can tow a maximum of 8400 pounds. But the GMC Yukon offers Vandalia, IL buyers more advanced towing features like Transparent Trailer and Jackknife alert. Let's focus on the Transparent Trailer system because that's such a valuable feature and a major advantage for the Yukon.
The Transparent Trailer feature on the GMC Yukon is a technology that lets the driver virtually see through his compatible trailer, providing a clear view of what's behind the trailer as if it were invisible. That's achieved by using a camera system that's mounted on the trailer and the vehicle, which then combines the camera views and displays them on the infotainment screen. This feature enhances visibility and confidence when you're towing, especially in tight spaces or during lane changes, by eliminating blind spots.
A comparison of interiors and technology
Both SUVs offer wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, an 11.0-inch Driver Information Center, heated and ventilated front seating and genuine leather upholstery. Both offer Vernon, IL families an HD Surround Vision system, a power-folding third row and an available power liftgate. The two models have the same headroom, legroom, and hip room measurements in every row, which helps to keep every passenger comfortable.
But the GMC Yukon takes the lead with available features like an 8.0-inch diagonal rear climate control touch screen, Night Vision, Trailer Reverse Trajectory and Transparent Trailer View, all of which the Tahoe doesn't have.
A comparison of safety features
Both the GMC Yukon and the Chevy Tahoe come with a number of excellent standard safety features including automatic emergency braking, HD Surround Vision, blind-zone steering assist and cross-traffic braking. In addition, both vehicles offer an available Trailer Tire Health system, to keep an eye on your tires.
But the the Yukon pulls ahead in the safety comparison with its available Night Vision and standard Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking. The Tahoe doesn't offer a Night Vision feature at all, and its Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking feature are available options that you have to pay extra for.
