Elevation
The 5.3L V8 and 10-speed automatic are the standard pairing on Elevation. It is the volume Yukon and the one most Tampa families end up in.
Best fit: a buyer who wants the full-size cabin and towing without the Denali price.

The 2027 Yukon and Yukon XL have arrived at Rivard Buick GMC. Five trims from Elevation to Denali Ultimate, three engines including the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel, up to 8,400 lbs of max trailering, and Super Cruise available across the line. Here is what GMC publishes for the 2027 model year and how to shop it in Tampa.
The Yukon is the standard-length full-size SUV and the Yukon XL is the long-wheelbase version; both share the same five trims, the same engines and the same cabin. GMC rates max cargo at up to 122.8 cu ft for the Yukon and up to 144.5 cu ft for the Yukon XL, which is the whole argument for the longer truck.
Three engines cover the 2027 lineup: the 5.3L V8 that comes with the Elevation and its 10-speed automatic, the available 6.2L V8, and the available Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel rated at 305 hp and 495 lb-ft. Properly equipped, the Yukon tows up to 8,400 lbs.
Super Cruise, the hands-free driver assistance system for compatible roads, is available on the 2027 Yukon and standard on Denali. For a family that runs I-75 or I-4 every week, that one line item changes how the truck feels to live with.
Up to 8,400 lbs when properly equipped, per GMC.
The available Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel makes 305 hp and 495 lb-ft.
Max cargo volume in the Yukon XL; the Yukon offers up to 122.8 cu ft.
Available on the other trims.
Everything in the left column comes from GMC as of October 2026. The right column is what you confirm on the specific truck in front of you.
Five trims, each offered as a Yukon or a Yukon XL. Starting MSRP figures are from GMC as of October 2026.
The 5.3L V8 and 10-speed automatic are the standard pairing on Elevation. It is the volume Yukon and the one most Tampa families end up in.
Best fit: a buyer who wants the full-size cabin and towing without the Denali price.
AT4 is the off-road-themed Yukon; AT4 Ultimate layers the top-level equipment on that formula.
Best fit: a driver who takes the truck beyond pavement, or wants the AT4 look with everything on it.
Denali is the headline for 2027 because Super Cruise is standard on it. Denali Ultimate is the top of the range.
Best fit: long highway miles, hands-free, in the nicest cabin GMC builds in a Yukon.
The 2027 Yukon starting MSRP figures on this page are GMC figures as of October 2026, exclude destination, tax, title, license and optional equipment, and may change without notice. Every Yukon at Rivard Buick GMC carries one up-front price and no dealer fee.
The decision is rarely 2026 against 2027 any more; it is Yukon against Yukon XL, gas against diesel, and standard Super Cruise against a lower price.
Same trims, same engines. The XL adds cargo room behind the third row, up to 144.5 cu ft maximum against 122.8 for the Yukon.
Best for: anyone who tows a trailer and still needs the third row and the luggage.
The 5.3L V8 is the baseline, the 6.2L V8 is the available big gas engine, and the Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel brings 495 lb-ft of torque.
Best for: diesel if the miles are long and the trailer is heavy; V8 if the drive is around the Bay.
If a remaining 2026 on the lot matches your trim, compare the two stickers side by side; the 2027 Denali gets Super Cruise standard, which is the main reason to prefer it.
Best for: a buyer who wants the lowest number on the same equipment.
Our showroom is on Adamo Drive, a short hop from I-75, I-4 and the Selmon Expressway. Both Yukon lengths are on the lot, so you can park them side by side and settle the XL question in the parking lot rather than online.
