Pros: Well-built and sturdy, the 2015 GMC Yukon is a comfortable, luxurious SUV. Moreover, GM’s truck division has made a surprising amount of progress when it comes to road performance.

Cons: The 2015 GMC Yukon is quite bulky, so some might find it a bit hard to park, but it is a full-size SUV after all. Accordingly, the Yukon’s price and fuel consumption are also full-sized.
