Yukon AT4
From $76,000

Which Trim Is Right for You?
Choosing a Yukon trim depends on your priorities and how you plan to use the vehicle. Here’s a quick decision guide:
Why Weld County Garage
Choosing the Right Yukon Trim for Colorado
Northern Colorado’s unique terrain and climate should inform your trim choice. Our high altitude (Greeley sits at ~4,600 feet; mountain passes reach 10,000+) affects engine performance, brake cooling, and transmission behavior—all reasons why GMC’s engine lineup matters here.
The Elevation and AT4 base trim’s 5.3L V8 (355 hp / 383 lb-ft) handles Colorado driving well. If you’re regularly towing horse trailers to mountain ranches or utility trailers on ranch properties, stepping to the 6.2L V8 or Duramax Diesel is smart; the Diesel’s 495 lb-ft torque excels on steep grades and in thin air.
Winter driving and off-road capability: The AT4 and AT4 Ultimate are engineered for Colorado snow and ice. The 2-inch factory lift increases approach angle for rocky terrain. Hill Descent Control adds confidence on steep, slippery descents—critical in winter near Loveland Ski Resort.
Comfort on Colorado roads: If your Yukon spends most time on I-25 between Greeley and Denver, the Denali or Denali Ultimate excels. Magnetic Ride Control (Denali) or four-corner air suspension (Denali Ultimate) absorb Colorado’s patchy road surfaces and frost heaves with grace.
Technology for Colorado connectivity: All trims feature the 16.8-inch infotainment screen with Google Built-In—maps, voice assistant, and app integration are invaluable for mountain navigation. Super Cruise (new on Elevation, standard on Ultimate trims) engages on I-25 and US-34, reducing fatigue on long hauls across the Front Range.
