Chris Perkins, with Road and Track wroteâTodays full-size SUVs are ridiculous. Too big, too inefficient, too much truck for 99 percent of the people who buy them. If you need a big family car the new hybrid Toyota Sienna will easily carry around four kids and get 36 mpg doing so. I will also say that the GMC Yukon Denali is so good that after a week with one, I now understand why people buy these, and I can see a world where I would do the same. Which I hate. Despite being enormous, the Yukon feels like a much smaller vehicle. I usually hate driving full-size trucks in and around my New York City home, but this rig was easy to wheel around. It is an imperious experience, sitting at such a high perch, enjoying the immense torque of the 6.2-liter V-8 and this quiet, imminently comfortable cabin. The stress of city life melted away, aided in large part by the massaging seats. It is like being allowed to cut the line. You feel bad for everyone else around you, but worryingly, not so bad that you will take some principled stand of solidarity. Everything is so well-calibrated. The steering, pedals, engine, transmission, and MagneRide dampers all work in perfect harmony to provide a cohesive driving experience. It's remarkably comfortable, and the interior is also beautiful and well-trimmed with its open-pore wood. My minivan comparison isnt 100 percent fair as this truck has towing capacity a Sienna couldnt dream of and far more luxury. But if you dont need to tow, say, .because this is Road and Track, a race carâyou probably dont need this truck. It is wasteful. And yet! What a way to travel. F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. And he certainly understood American excess. The Yukon Denali is absurd, and it would be my first choice if I had to tow a race car from New York to Florida. How irritating
