If you need a vehicle that’s good for towing, people-hauling, and even modest off-roading, you should put the 2009 GMC Yukon on your list.
The 2009 GMC Yukon can tow four tons, besting the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada in this important category.
And although the Armada is arguably a bit more stylish from a distance, the Yukon has a better-executed interior, with pleasing materials.
The Sequoia and Armada are both larger than the Yukon and Yukon Denali, but not quite as enormous as the long-wheelbase Yukon XL and Denali XL.
The big GMC offers a wider choice of engines than the Ford Expedition, and the differences in performance are notable.
However, the Ford performs well, and TheCarConnection.com's editors appreciate its comparatively better ride quality.
