GMC Yukon Denali braked towing capacity confirmed

In the release last week that outlined the GMC Yukon Denali, braked towing capacity was said to exceed 3500kg. Which naturally begged the question – by how much? 

GMSV has now confirmed the figure, with the flagship SUV officially rated to haul braked loads weighing up to 3628kg.

That means the GMC Yukon Denali has highest braked towing capacity of any SUV on sale in Australia and New Zealand, according to GMSV. 

Delivering that pulling power is the GMC Yukon Denali’s 6.2L petrol V8 engine, delivering 313kW and 624Nm. 

Priced from $184,990 NZD, the Yukon Denali, a three-row eight-occupant SUV, marks the launch of the GMC brand on both sides of the Tasman. And it is being remanufactured (LHD to RHD) at a dedicated facility in Dandenong, Victoria. 

The GMC Yukon Denali’s unbraked towing capacity is 750kg, while the gross vehicle mass, or GVM, is 3447kg.

“We know how important towing is to our customers, so we’re thrilled to confirm the GMC Yukon’s braked towing capacity is the very best in its class” says Jess Bala, Managing Director, General Motors Australia and New Zealand.

“We have always considered the GMC Yukon a flagship vehicle unrivalled in the region. The braked towing capacity only furthers that status. Not just luxurious, spacious and a capable three-row SUV powered by a potent V8 engine, it can also tow an unmatched 3628kg.”

Its maximum cargo volume is 3480 litres, so the GMC Yukon Denali has room for both people and their gear.
