Used GMC Yukon: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every GMC Yukon from 2010 to 2025, across 3 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $9,000 to $66,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2010, 2012–2014, 2016–2025. Look harder at or skip 2011, 2015.
2021–2025 GMC Yukon
A full-size SUV with a much roomier third row and an available air suspension.
Years to target: 2021–2025. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $50,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~80,000 |
| 2022 | $54,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~65,000 |
| 2023 | $57,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~55,000 |
| 2024 | $62,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~40,000 |
| 2025 | $66,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~25,000 |
Worth knowing
- If it has the 6.2-liter V8, confirm the crankshaft and bearing recall was completed. Strong demand keeps used prices high.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the SLT: it adds leather, heated front seats, memory settings and more driver aids over the SLE. The 3.0-liter diesel offers excellent highway range.
On the test drive
Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2021).
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2021, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.

2015–2020 GMC Yukon
A body-on-frame full-size SUV with strong towing, a quiet ride and plush top trims.
Years to target: 2016–2020. Look harder at or skip: 2015. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | $21,000 | Look harder | 4 of 5 | ~155,000 |
| 2016 | $23,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~145,000 |
| 2017 | $23,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~130,000 |

| 2019 | $28,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~105,000 |
| 2020 | $30,000* | Target | 4 of 5 | ~90,000 |
* Estimated from nearby years, since few were listed for sale.
Worth knowing
- 2015: owner complaints spike (547, mostly the visibility and wipers).
- The third row is cramped and the cargo floor is high. V8s can suffer lifter failure tied to cylinder deactivation, so listen for ticking.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the SLT: it adds leather, heated power front seats, a power liftgate and blind-spot alerts over the SLE. Choose 2016 or newer for Apple CarPlay.

2010–2014 GMC Yukon
A full-size SUV with eight-cylinder power, solid towing and a slightly upscale feel over the Tahoe.
Years to target: 2010, 2012–2014. Look harder at or skip: 2011. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | $9,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~185,000 |
| 2011 | $10,000 | Look harder | 4 of 5 | ~175,000 |

| 2014 | $14,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~140,000 |
Worth knowing
- 2011: owner complaints spike (399, mostly the airbags).
- Fuel economy is poor, the third row is cramped and tall to load over, and dashboards often crack.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the SLT: it adds leather, heated front seats and more power adjustment over the SLE without the Denali's steep premium.
On the test drive
Check for a cracked dashboard and confirm the third row folds and removes properly. On a hybrid, ask for a battery health check.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: not offered in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: not offered in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
