black-yukon-1

The full-size SUV market is competitive, with several car makers offering SUVs with power, performance, and unique features. Two of the most popular large SUV contenders are the GMC Yukon and the Ford Expedition, but how do you know which one to choose? We want to help you with that choice, so we've outlined both options' features and benefits. Read on for information about powertrains, cargo space, passenger seating, and technology features. We'll put the 2022 GMC Yukon up against the Ford Expedition and see why the Yukon comes out on top.

The Engine Lineup

When you have a sizeable SUV, it needs more power to get it down the road, and the Yukon doesn't disappoint. The base engine is a 5.3L V-8 that puts out 355 horsepower and generates 383 lb-ft of torque. A 6.2L V-8 is available for the AT4 trim and comes standard with the top-level Denali. This engine churns out 420 horsepower and gets 460 lb-ft of torque.

There's also a 3.0L turbo six-cylinder diesel engine available for the Yukon. This powertrain delivers 277 horsepower and gets 460 lb-ft of torque. Each of these engines works with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) comes standard for most trims, with four-wheel drive (4WD) available as an option.

All Expedition models have the same powertrain. The 3.5L turbo V-6 gas engine generates 375 horsepower and gets 470 lb-ft of torque for all trims except the Platinum. When under the hood of the Platinum, this same engine puts out 400 horsepower and gets 480 lb-ft of torque.

This same engine gets a power boost when paired with the Timberline trim or the Stealth Performance Package. With these Expeditions, it gets 440 horsepower and delivers 510 lb-ft of torque. All models use a 10-speed automatic transmission, and RWD comes standard, although 4WD is available for any trim.

The GMC Yukon provides a smooth and comfortable ride over most roads. If you want to take your Yukon off-road, the AT4 model has additional off-road features, such as a skid plate, two-speed transfer case, and standard 4WD. When equipped, the Yukon can tow up to 8,400 pounds.

The Expedition also has a reputation for providing a smooth and comfortable ride. Despite its size, it is easy to handle. The new Timberline trim has several off-road capabilities, such as an upgraded suspension, a two-speed transfer case, and a skid plate. When equipped, the Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds.

Interior Space

The Yukon's interior cabin is highly versatile. It seats eight with the standard setup, but this can be customized. If you choose a front bench seat, the seating increases to nine. When you opt for the second-row captain's chairs, you'll have a seating capacity of seven. The standard Yukon has a 25.5 cu-ft cargo space behind all the seats and 72.6 cu-ft behind the second row. The cargo space increases if you bump up to the longer Yukon XL. This model has 41.5 cu-ft of cargo space behind the third row and 93.8 cu-ft of space behind the second.

The base Expedition trim comes as a two-row model with seating for five. Other trims have three rows and can fit up to seven or eight. This SUV doesn't offer the option of a bench seat in the front, and it has a slightly smaller cargo area. In the regular length model, there are 19.3 cu-ft of space behind the third row and 57.5 cu-ft of cargo space if you fold down the third row. The extended Max model has up to 36 cu-ft of space behind the third row and 79.6 cu-ft behind the second.

Technology Features

Both the Yukon and Expedition offer a wide range of technology features to keep all passengers connected and informed. The Yukon comes standard with a large 10.2-inch touch screen in the center of the dash. In addition, it includes six USB ports, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A dual-screen rear entertainment system is available, along with a 14-speaker Bose stereo system, navigation, and a 12-inch digital gauge cluster that sits in front of the driver.

The base model of the Expedition has a 12-inch touch screen, Wi-Fi hotspot, and four USB ports. Wireless charging, an upgraded Bang & Olufsen stereo system, and extra USB ports are available for the Expedition, along with a digital gauge cluster for the driver.

Safety Features

Every 2022 Yukon and 2022 Expedition comes standard with various safety systems. For example, the Yukon has a rearview camera, forward collision warning with automatic braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and a rear seat reminder. Other intelligent features that come standard on the Yukon are front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a Teen Driver system that allows parents to set limits for their new drivers.

For even more driver aids, the Yukon offers a lane-change alert system, reverse automatic braking, a safety alert seat, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts. A rear pedestrian detection system is also available, along with a head-up display.

Every 2022 Expedition comes with Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of driver aids. This group of safety systems includes many of the same technologies, including automatic high beams, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, and automatic braking. It also includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

The 2022 GMC Yukon and the Ford Expedition each have many noteworthy features and encapsulate what makes a full-size SUV worth owning. But comparable performance combined with a more versatile interior makes the GMC Yukon the clear winner.

Although the Expedition has a slight edge over the Yukon regarding standard horsepower and torque, it doesn't make up for its standard five-person capacity and limited cargo space. To find out more about why the Yukon is an excellent choice for a full-size SUV, stop by Reiselman Buick GMC and talk to one of our sales staff. They'll be happy to send you out on the road for a test drive so you can try out a GMC Yukon for yourself.

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vs. Chevy Silverado 1500

Since their humble beginnings as three-on-the-tree workhorses, pickup trucks have come a long way. Today’s trucks have become far more sophisticated and luxurious, with top-of-the-line models offering features and amenities that rival those of high-end sedans. Demand for them is at an all-time high, and they’ve now subsumed several automotive segments to become one of the most popular choices for new-car shoppers. Image Courtesy of GMC Pressroom more Admittedly, you can’t beat a truck’s practicality and versatility. Pickup trucks can do it all. Whether you’re towing a camper or boat, hauling lumber, or need extra space for gear on a long road trip, a truck is more than up to the task. But with all the different makes, models, and trim levels available, it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. To make your decision a little easier, we’ve compared the two most popular pickup trucks on the market today: the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500. We’ll pit these two trucks against each other in a number of different categories and see which one comes out on top. By the end, you should have a good idea of which truck is the better choice for your needs. So, without further ado, let’s delve right in. Powertrain, Transmission, and Performance The GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado are very closely matched when it comes to powertrain and performance. However, the GMC Sierra gets more torque out of its base engine, which gives it a slight advantage if you’re looking to maximize your truck’s strength at the entry-level. The rest of the powertrain options are identical between the two trucks, so it comes down to a matter of preference when deciding which one is right for you. GMC’s Sierra base 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is more powerful than Chevy’s Silverado base 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, making 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the Silverado’s 2.7-liter engine produces 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque. For those who need more power, both trucks offer an available 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. If you need to tow or haul heavy loads, you can opt for the available 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine that produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Diesel fans will be happy to know that both the Sierra and Silverado offer an available 3.0-liter Duramax turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine that produces 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This engine is a great choice for those who need maximum towing and hauling capability. All of these engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Sierra and Silverado both offer rear-wheel drive as standard, with four-wheel drive available as an option. While the Silverado has a slight advantage in towing capacity (13,300 pounds vs. 13,000 pounds), their outputs are so similar that the difference is negligible. It’s a close call on this one, but we’re giving the slight edge to the GMC Sierra for its more powerful base engine. Exterior On the outside, the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado received full redesigns back in 2019, so they share a lot of common DNA in terms of their overall look and feel. However, there are some subtle differences that help set them apart. The Sierra focuses more on rugged charm and exterior customizability than its Chevy counterpart. The Sierra’s front end is also slightly more aggressive than the Silverado’s, with a larger grille and more prominent headlights. It’s also available with unique exterior features, such as the industry-first six-function MultiPro Tailgate. This tailgate operates like a conventional tailgate, but it also features a second inner gate that can be used for a number of different purposes, such as providing easier access to the truck bed or serving as an impromptu workbench or picnic table. The Silverado, on the other hand, offers a Multi-Flex tailgate that can be lowered like a traditional tailgate or opened sideways like a door. This provides easier access to the truck bed when needed, but it’s less versatile than the MultiPro tailgate found on the Sierra. And According to GM, the MultiPro tailgate delivers proven strength and durability with best-in-class test results. All in all, the Sierra’s more aggressive styling and unique exterior features give it a slight advantage over the Silverado in this category. Interior Both models have ramped up their game regarding interior quality and features in recent years. However, the GMC Sierra still takes things a step further with its stylish chrome trim accents, interior lighting, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Sierra’s cabin is also slightly more spacious than the Silverado’s, giving you extra room to stretch out on long trips. The Silverado does a good job of maximizing its space, but the Sierra’s extra room gives it a clear advantage in this category. Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology On the safety front, the Silverado vs. Sierra faceoff cuts things pretty evenly. Both trucks come standard with a wide range of advanced safety features, including emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. However, the Sierra has a few extra safety features available as options on the Silverado’s higher trims. These include: LED Daytime Running Lamps: Sunny days can create a glare that makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic. LED daytime running lamps help to reduce this glare and make it easier for other drivers to see your truck on the road. Teen Driver Tech: This feature allows you to set certain limits for your teen driver, such as speed and audio volume. You can also track their driving habits via an in-vehicle report card. Again, the Sierra 1500 takes the win in this category thanks to its slightly more comprehensive list of safety features. So, which truck comes out on top in the Silverado vs. Sierra 1500 battle? The GMC Sierra is worthy of your hard-earned money. It’s got a more stylish exterior, a slightly more spacious and well-equipped interior, and a few extra safety features that give it an edge over the Silverado.
