GMC Yukon price increases since 2019: 2019-2020 = 2.22% This is normal 2020-2021 = 2.55% Again normal 2021-2022 = 0.97% Below Normal 2022-2023 = 9.3% Way above normal 2023-2024 = 3.83% Above normal, not by much 2024-2025 = 15.6% Way, way, way above normal
Curious how you came up with these numbers. The Elevation is a new trim for 2025 so it's kind of comparing apples to oranges when comparing it to any trim in 2024. The AT4 is a trim that preexisted in 2024. I just found the window sticker of both a 2024 and 2025 AT4 Yukon. The 2024 MSRP standard vehicle price is $71,505 and the MSRP standard vehicle price on a 2025 AT4 Yukon is $73,700. This would only be 3.07% increase from the 2024 year model. These numbers are only for the "Standard Vehicle Price". The options and packages have changed in the new refresh so I believe it would be difficult to make a fair comparison including those. I also found a 2023 Window Sticker for an AT4 Yukon and the standard vehicle price for it was $71,700
@@Bashy2023 I asked ChatGPT to get all of the info. We are looking at a Yukon Denali and comparing those. They will need to come down a good bit before we buy one. RAM and Jeep are rumored to cut prices by 35% at a minimum in 1st quarter of 2025. GMC will have to follow suit or we will simply go buy a Grand Wagoneer
I had a Yukon Denali and traded that in for a SLT Yukon. 5.3 has plenty of power and don’t have to put premium fuel in it like the 6.2. Like the fixed running boards over the power as the power running boards had so many problems, would not deploy or retract all the time. You can get just about every option the Denali has without the crazy sticker price.
@@MrJbxl88not the same power, but the 5.3 has plenty of power, and yes you can get all the same options on a SLT as a Denali, just can’t get messaging seats. The finishes on the Denali are nicer.
Yeah, it surprised me how well you can option out this trim with the diesel. Was looking at the denali, but this is a way better price if you want the diesel, and it arguably looks better with the blackout package. Also, I'd prefer the smaller wheels, I've had 22s on my truck, and you definitely feel them.
Oh please, the Denali has nothing to worry about but this new base model Yukon was an ingenious choice. It looks so good straight off the truck. I like the subtle chrome accents, I even like the wheels on the Elevation. Hardest choice in the world between this and a Tahoe Premier.
Bingo! I decided to go with the Elevation over the a Tahoe Premier. My Elevation has the tech package that even comes with Super Cruise, and the price was basically the same as the Tahoe which didn't have the same options. The only advantage the Premier has is the 6.2 engine, which was fine because I dont want to pay for premium gas.
Not really. This is probably high 70s with all of these options. The Denali is over 90k. That is his point. The Denali will have Denali badging, larger engine and a little more tech like power steps. I dont think it's worth 15-20K more.
2025 has 15.6 % over the 2024 price increase in one year! And thats just the base price. It will only grow after you add options. That Brings the Yukon up to just under 35% price increase since 2019. Normal price increase per year for GMC Yukon's is about 2.5%. So in my opinion they are overpriced by a good 20%. So for this 80k Yukon, it should be sitting at about 64k. As much as we want one, we will just keep waiting until they figure out, we are not going to pay this much anymore. Time to hold out and wake up the car industry America! We will pay a fair price not this way overpriced crap!
I have an 8" screen which is more then plenty in my opinion, I can see these new big screens and with all the gloss black will be covered in dust an fingerprints constantly.
You said this Yukon Elevation does not come with the adjustable air ride suspension, but what about the Magnaride, does it come with that? Thanks. I'm actually hoping it doesn't, because then it will be easier to do a 3" lift and add larger 35" tires after market, something I'd love to do to the new Yukon Denali or AT4 Ultimates but their air ride and magnaride complicate doing so.
We have the rear media and if you have kids it's so worth it. The 2025 have RUclips, RUclips kids, and HULU programed into it so you don't have to worry about a firestick or anything on this model. I think the rear media has gotten a bad rap and it's really unwarranted imo.
I have a 2024 Yukon Denali, the Denali is the highest trim I got the Ultimate, I don’t think this new Yukon will top the Denali, I have a power sliding center console, it’s ain’t game over for the Denali.. and yes I have the blackout 2024 Yukon Denali Ultimate..
Regular suspension, I have the magnetic air ride and 4 corner air ride… lol this new Yukon has fixed running boards lol, yes I have all the technology this 2025 have… my 2024 Yukon Denali all the options possible are installed…
the absolute lowest MSRP on a 2WD Suburban is $66,700. This one is 4WD, has ventilated seats, rear media, sunroof, HUD, animated lighting, heated steering wheel, heated 2nd row seats, power 2nd and 3rd row, power folding side view mirrors, 10 speakers sound system, rear view mirror camera, memory seat settings, 20 inch wheels.. seems like quite a few extra options to me... Now is it worth an extra 10K.. that's debatable, but you do get quite a few features with the Elevation premium package.
You can add power running boards after market for 2k. For 10-12k I can do without a telescoping steering wheel. I also think they do have a black option for the Elevation for like 1600 bucks. What I dont get is I like the other 22" machine faced wheels on the white paint. That is a 3295 option. That 800 bucks per wheel and tire! Do I get to keep the 20's that come with it at least, my goodness GM that is a ridiculous price!
We just bought a 25 Yukon Elevation with the Elevation black package. The SUV is an absolute road trip champion! As far as swapping 20's for 22's - Yeah, you keep them. You paid for them and they're yours (unless you negotiate a discount in exchange). Twice I've had dealerships/upfitters attempt to keep wheels, grills, steps, etc which were being upgraded. Heck no! Those are mine and I'm keeping them. We ended up selling the original parts and made back a lot of our expenses from upgrading.
I'm not a big fan of everything controlled with the flat screen. I prefer to have physical buttons with different shapes and locations so I can feel for them and not have to look for them. A lot of people feel this way from what I see. But the manufactures continue to eliminate them in favor of a big flat screen. I guess there is a cost savings to have everything on the flat screen and so they continue to move in that direction. Those physical buttons along the bottom of the flat screen don't cut it. They are all the same size and difficult to find the one you want without having to look. The 21 to 24 years, in my opinion, have the best mix of physical buttons and a flat screen.
Since when did an $80,000 family suv become the norm? I have a feeling GM is going to be left holding the bag on a lot of these come 2026, especially the ones $100,000 +
If it has a v8, GM screwed it with the oil pan. Full stop. - Look for the video on Bank's Replacement Oil Pan for GM and you'll see. Leaving a full quart of used oil in the pan and pickup line is not good for any engine.
paying for the badging on the side lol. Only difference between this vehicle and a 2025 base Denali is power steering wheel and the 6.2... This one actually has a sunroof and rear media which isn't standard on the Denali.

What your thoughts on the diesel . I’m also in market for Tahoe or Yukon
My Yukon is the 5.3, but I have a Sierra with the diesel and I love it. Plenty of power and excellent fuel mileage
Not
You definitely can't get the same options. I've had both trucks and the denali is better all around. And definitely not the same power.
@@MrJbxl88not the same power, but the 5.3 has plenty of power, and yes you can get all the same options on a SLT as a Denali, just can’t get messaging seats. The finishes on the Denali are nicer.
GMC needs to do a black out package and have an option for the deployable running boards!
4wd Elevation with Premium package, Super Cruise and 3.0L would be the ultimate road tripper for me. Not sure Denali is worth the extra cash.
Facts
Yeah, it surprised me how well you can option out this trim with the diesel.

@ that makes perfect sense to me. I’ve heard people say the 5.7L V8 has adequate power and feels good around town.
I agree with the value proposition on these vs any higher trim but people want that status symbol appearance is really want it boils down too
Great review!!! Hopefully by mid summer 2025 I’ll have one!!!!
are you waiting for the Diesel?
@ no getting it for a bday gift for myself lol
After all the upgrades you might as well as get Denali. Happy to hear other thoughts
Not really. This is probably high 70s with all of these options. The Denali is over 90k. That is his point. The Denali will have Denali badging, larger engine and a little more tech like power steps. I dont think it's worth 15-20K more.

Even though it's the base model, for the price of that thing, it should have a lot of features.

The crazy part is a lot of Americans are going to go broke just because they feel “they need to be in the latest and greatest”
No way can you get the exact same options for 64k last year. Your numbers are way off. 😂
I just googled 2024 SLT is 67K before options. The 2025 Elevation is 69K. This Yukon has the Premium and Tech package, so that bumps it to around 80K
Don’t be shocked at the features when it’s $80k
I like the screen on the tahoe better. And I'm not sure about this new style shifter.
I got the Elevation last week. The shifter is way better than the previous buttons. You just pull in slide up for R or down for Drive. Really simple.
I have an 8" screen which is more then plenty in my opinion, I can see these new big screens and with all the gloss black will be covered in dust an fingerprints constantly.

It would have been nice to see the panoramic sunroof, that's a major feature for me.
I love the premium package but do NOT want the rear seat media system. Is there a cost-savings to specing this out the same without the media?
We have the rear media and if you have kids it's so worth it. The 2025 have RUclips, RUclips kids, and HULU programed into it so you don't have to worry about a firestick or anything on this model. I think the rear media has gotten a bad rap and it's really unwarranted imo.
Thats stupid blacking the chrome out! Black is played out! There are other colors besides black! The SUV is great looking as it is!
I love mine!
I agree. I wish it had ventilated seats
It does have ventilated seats
@ no it doesn’t
@@suprand window sticker in the video, technology package includes “heated and ventilated front seats”…
Wow. You’re right
I was hearing the same thing early on! Thank god it has the option. Picking one up soon.
Can you get the diesel and power sunroof in this model and do the brake and gas pedals have power adjustment for shorter people?
The most beautiful youkon generation from 2015-2020 ❤the new one it look like a bus 🚌
How?

From 2021-2025 so big for Tahoe or regular Yukon this size should be for suburban or Yukon XL also the shape is not boxy like previous gen
12:15 they removed low gearing?

Do you have an options list that you can't get on the Elevation model but are available on the Denali?
I like the aftermarket power running boards better anyway I have them on my 2021
Regular suspension, I have the magnetic air ride and 4 corner air ride… lol this new Yukon has fixed running boards lol, yes I have all the technology this 2025 have… my 2024 Yukon Denali all the options possible are installed…
Nice! We want a video of this truck at night.
What is the rear turn indicator colour?

I prefer knobs myself, but a lot of vehicles have rocker/ switch style controls, you get used to them.
JB I missed it was it with the 6.2 or 5.3??
The top of the sticker saws 5.3 with the 10 speed trans
You can get it with the 5.3 or the 3.0 diesel, no 6.2 option for this trim.

Can you let us know how big of a gas tank these vehicles have
24 gallon
huge glossy screens are so bad...
Absolutely not lol, I sat in one today, bought a Denali.
AT4
If it has a v8, GM screwed it with the oil pan. Full stop. - Look for the video on Bank's Replacement Oil Pan for GM and you'll see. Leaving a full quart of used oil in the pan and pickup line is not good for any engine.
No they did not screw the Denali the Denali is still on top
And you say it’s game over for the Yukon Denali, boy you should be fired for saying that..

poor people buy gm
Eliminating SLT was STUPID MOVE GM.
Can you explain why you feel that it was stupid?
Overpriced junk
