About This 2016 GMC Yukon SLT

At 139,611 miles, this 2016 GMC Yukon SLT sits squarely in the sweet spot for used full-size SUV buyers.

The SLT trim represents the sweet spot in the Yukon lineup, sitting above the base SLE but below the ultra-premium Denali, giving you a refined, well-equipped ride without the luxury-tier price tag. Whether you're hauling the family across Metro Detroit or heading north for a weekend Up North, this truck is built for it.
 

2016 GMC Yukon Performance and Engine

Ecotec3 5.3L V8 Power

Under the hood of this Yukon SLT sits GM's acclaimed Ecotec3 5.3-liter V8 engine — one of the most respected powerplants in the full-size truck and SUV segment. It produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, giving you serious towing capability (up to 8,500 lbs when properly equipped) and confident passing power on the highway.
 

6-Speed Heavy-Duty Automatic Transmission and 4WD

Paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission, shifts are smooth and well-calibrated for both city driving and open-road cruising. The 4-wheel drive system is a game changer for Detroit winters — when Woodward Avenue is glazed with ice or you're navigating a snowy I-75 commute, you'll be glad you chose 4WD. The Ecotec3 also features cylinder deactivation technology that helps stretch fuel economy when full power isn't needed, switching between 4 and 8 cylinders seamlessly.
 

GMC Yukon SLT Features and Interior

The SLT trim level brings a noticeably upscale experience compared to base Yukon models. Expect leather-appointed seating, a heated front row, power-adjustable seats, and a large center console that makes long drives feel comfortable and organized. The second-row captain's chairs (or bench, depending on configuration) and third-row seating give you true eight-passenger flexibility — ideal for larger families or carpools across Wayne County.

Technology highlights include GMC's IntelliLink infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and available navigation. A rear-view camera, rear park assist, and a Bose premium audio system are among the convenience and safety features that make the SLT a well-rounded package. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable whether you're baking in a Michigan July or freezing in January.
 

GMC Yukon Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 GMC Yukon carries a strong reputation for long-term durability. Built on GM's proven full-size truck platform shared with the Chevy Tahoe and Silverado, the Yukon benefits from decades of powertrain refinement and widespread parts availability — which means maintenance and repairs are straightforward and affordable anywhere in Metro Detroit. Owners consistently praise the Yukon for holding up well through high mileage, particularly the Ecotec3 V8 and the transmission, which are known to be robust when serviced regularly.

Common things to keep an eye on at this mileage include the transfer case fluid, rear air suspension components (if equipped), and brake wear — all normal maintenance territory for a truck this age. The 2016 model year also predates some of the earlier Yukon's more problematic electronics, making it a relatively clean ownership proposition. J.D. Power gave the 2016 Yukon strong marks for quality and dependability, and it shows in how well these trucks hold their value on the used market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2016 GMC Yukon SLT a good buy?

Yes — the 2016 GMC Yukon SLT is widely regarded as one of the best full-size SUVs of its generation. It offers a powerful V8, spacious three-row interior, strong towing capability, and a premium trim level that doesn't require a Denali-level budget. At this mileage, a well-maintained example still has significant life remaining.
 

How many miles is too many on a 2016 GMC Yukon?

With proper maintenance, the Yukon's Ecotec3 5.3L V8 and HD transmission are known to reach 200,000–250,000 miles reliably. At 139,611 miles, this truck has plenty of road left ahead of it — especially if you follow routine service intervals for oil, transmission fluid, and transfer case fluid.
 

What does the SLT trim include on the 2016 GMC Yukon?

The SLT trim adds leather seating, heated front seats, power-adjustable seats, an 8-inch IntelliLink touchscreen, rear-view camera, Bose audio, dual-zone climate control, and chrome exterior accents over the base SLE model. It's a well-rounded mid-tier trim that delivers a near-luxury experience.
 

Is 4WD worth it on a used Yukon in Michigan?

Absolutely. Michigan winters — especially in the Detroit metro and Wayne County — can be unpredictable and harsh. A 4WD Yukon gives you confidence on snow-covered and icy roads that a 2WD simply can't match. It also adds to the truck's long-term resale value.

The 2016 GMC Yukon with the 5.3L V8 and proper towing equipment is rated to tow up to 8,500 lbs. That's enough for a large boat, a horse trailer, or a loaded camper — making it a serious workhorse as well as a family hauler.
