The GM Authority Take
May represented the third consecutive month of decreasing Yukon sales in the U.S., a development that is both puzzling and concerning, since it comes at a time when SUVs and CUVs are in high demand. Given that the Yukon is one of GM’s most profitable vehicles, a decrease in Yukon deliveries could negatively impact GM’s earnings in the second quarter of 2017.
GMC is making a few updates to the 2018 Yukon, with most of the notable updates being for the Denali models, which get a new GM 10-speed automatic transmission, a new grille, and real wood interior decor.
