GMC Yukon vs Chevy Tahoe
It’s time to pack up for the big family trip. Between the kids, the luggage, and the crate for your 4-legged companion, you’ll need all the room you can get. To help you find the right fit, our team at Andy Mohr Buick GMC has looked at two spacious SUVs in this GMC Yukon vs. Chevy Tahoe comparison.
Fittingly, these family-size vehicles happen to come from the same family tree, and though they may seem like twins, there are some differences. Continue reading below to find out how they can help you in your adventures around Fishers, Indianapolis, or Noblesville, IN.

The first step in any big trip is getting everything and everyone into the vehicle comfortably. The Chevy Tahoe offers seating for up to eight. There will be more room to spare in the GMC Yukon, however, since it has a maximum seating capacity of nine. Let’s climb aboard!
If you’re looking for some extra room to spread out, everyone will be happy in either model. They offer virtually identical dimensions for every row:
|
|
GMC Yukon
|
Chevy Tahoe
|
|---|---|---|
| First/Second/Third Legroom (inches) | 44.5/42/34.9 | 44.5/42/36.7 |
| First/Second/Third Headroom (inches) | 42.3/38.9/38.2 | 42.3/38.9/38.2 |
| First/Second/Third Shoulder Room (inches) | 66/64.8/62.7 | 66/64.8/61.7 |
As your guests settle into their seats, you can load up all the luggage. The Yukon and the Tahoe have ample storage space for camping gear, picnic snacks, suitcases, or whatever you need for your time away. They both offer a cavernous total of 122.9 cubic feet of max cargo space.
Do you want to expand your space further? Only the GMC Yukon is available with a longer wheelbase. The GMC Yukon XL extends the vehicle length by 15.2 inches and provides up to 144.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume.
You expect that SUVs the size of the GMC Yukon and the Chevy Tahoe pack a punch, and you’d be right. Both models offer three engine options, so you can decide just how much strength you’ll need. Whether you’re towing or hitting the trails, these SUVs are up for the challenge.
The 2023 GMC Yukon and the Chevy Tahoe share the same three engine options. They include:
- 355-horsepower, 5.3L V8
- 420-horsepower, 6.2L V8
- 277-horsepower, 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel
You heard that right! You can opt for a diesel engine with either SUV. It’s perfect for long-distance hauls, so if you regularly take your travel trailer along on cross-country road trips, the 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel could be perfect for you.
All that power makes these SUVs optimal towing vehicles. In fact, both models offer an impressive 8,400 pounds of max towing capacity. Go ahead and hook up a utility trailer for more storage, a camper, or even a boat for a day on the water.
An advanced trailering system is also available with both models to make your life easy. They feature systems such as:
- Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert
- In-Vehicle Trailering App
On a big trip, you’ll want to be sure that you and your passengers feel safe and secure, something both SUVs can help with. Both models offer a collection of safety and driver-assistive systems to help you feel confident on the road.
GMC Pro Safety of the Yukon and Chevy Safety Assist of the Tahoe come with a bevy of advanced safety features to give you more peace of mind. Both offer standard and available systems, such as:
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam® headlamps
Teen Driver also comes standard on both models, which makes them perfect vehicles for families with up-and-coming drivers. Whenever your teen’s key fob is in use, it will automatically engage equipped safety features and limit certain vehicle features to encourage better driving habits.
The 2023 GMC Yukon and the 2023 Chevy Tahoe both prove to be capable SUVs offering a comfortable and convenient choice for your journeys around Fishers, Indianapolis, and Noblesville, IN.
