With 119,290 miles on the odometer, this Yukon XL is well into its useful life but by no means finished — the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 in these trucks is well-known for lasting well past 200,000 miles when properly maintained.

2019 GMC Yukon XL Performance and Engine

5.3L EcoTec3 V8 — Built for the Long Haul

Under the hood sits GMC's legendary EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8, producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in this generation. Paired with a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this powertrain delivers confident acceleration, strong highway cruising ability, and serious towing capability — the Yukon XL is rated to tow up to 8,500 lbs in properly equipped configurations. Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) helps improve fuel economy during light-load driving by dropping to four cylinders on the highway, a practical feature for those long Michigan highway stretches.

The 4WD system gives this Yukon XL a real edge when roads get slick. Whether you're navigating Detroit side streets after a snowfall or heading up north for a weekend, the four-wheel-drive system provides the kind of traction and confidence that front-wheel-drive crossovers simply can't match.
 

GMC Yukon XL SLT Features and Interior

What the SLT Trim Brings to the Table

The SLT sits in the upper tier of the Yukon XL lineup, a significant step above the base SLE, and it shows in the cabin. Expect leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and genuine wood-grain interior trim that gives the cabin a premium feel without crossing into the price territory of the Denali.

The 2019 Yukon XL SLT also includes a large 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Bose premium audio system, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a power liftgate for easy rear access. With three full rows of seating, the XL wheelbase version offers best-in-class rear legroom in the third row — a genuine selling point for large families. The available power-folding second and third rows make cargo configuration quick and intuitive.

What Owners and Industry Data Say

The 2019 GMC Yukon XL has a solid reputation for long-term durability, particularly around its drivetrain. The EcoTec3 V8 is widely regarded as one of GM's most proven engines, with strong owner satisfaction across hundreds of thousands of real-world examples. J.D. Power rated the 2019 Yukon above average for dependability, and it's a common sight in livery fleets and large families alike — a testament to its durability under demanding use.

Buyers who maintain the basics typically report very few major issues. Replacement parts are widely available and affordable throughout the Detroit metro and Wayne County area.
