To answer the question, you first have to find the right GMC Yukon XL model and then figure out what you’re going to define as hauling in this SUV. You see, the Yukon XL is the largest vehicle in the GMC lineup that isn’t a truck. Actually, it’s probably bigger than the Sierra 3500HD, so let’s just say it’s the biggest vehicle in the lineup without question. That being said, you’re going to have ample space and power to haul whatever you need to in the 2022 GMC Yukon XL.

Four Ways to Define Hauling in this 2022 GMC

Most of the time, we would define hauling as towing behind the vehicle, but that’s only one way to use the GMC Yukon XL. This SUV also has seating for up to nine people, which means you can haul passengers to where they need to go. There’s a large cargo hold behind the rear seats that can be expanded when the second and third rows are folded, giving you another way to haul. Lest we forget, you can also have a roof rack on top of this brute and put lots of stuff up there, making four ways to haul.

The Power Will Make a Difference in this 2022 GMC

The latest model of the GMC Yukon XL is offered with three different engines, all of which make use of a ten-speed automatic transmission. The engines offered are:

• • 3-liter V8 making 355 horsepower, 383 lb.-ft. of torque
  • 2-liter V8 making 420 horsepower, 460 lb.-ft. of torque
  • 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6 making 277 horsepower, 460 lb.-ft. of torque

Every powertrain can be set up in either RWD or 4WD to give you the power you need to the wheels that you want to drive this big brute. The diesel powertrain gives you the best fuel mileage at 21 city/27 hwy mpg in RWD models or 20 city/26 hwy mpg in 4WD versions.

The maximum towing capacity of the Yukon XL is 8,400 pounds which is more than enough to pull a heavy trailer or large boat to where you need to go. This answers the question for the first way that you can haul stuff in this big and impressive SUV.
