Worst of all, the Yukon breaks the golden rule in every environmentalist's code of correct conduct. It's big, bold and one of the
worst gas guzzlers on the road, achieving 12 mpg at its worst city and 19 mpg at its best highway rating. So be prepared, you might find a reasonably priced Yukon, but you'll be paying for the privilege of driving it dearly for years to come. So what to do? Well, it comes down to filling a need. If you make a habit of towing large, heavy trailers its ideal. If, on the other hand, you just want to haul your family around there are many more efficient vehicles with greater potential for reliability. Of course, people don't only purchase SUVs for practical purposes. The Yukon is also perfect for bashing through the woods, charging up to the ski slope, or just puttering around town - if holds together long enough to get you to where you're going.
