In addition to all-new exterior styling, an all-new interior, a new architecture, and a fresh powertrain lineup, the overhauled 2021 GMC Yukon also offers air ride suspension that delivers variable ride height plus a more comfortable ride. Now, GM Authority has uncovered pricing information for the optional 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension feature.
The 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension is officially called Air Ride Adaptive suspension, and it’s only available on AT4 and Denali trim levels. However, it isn’t a standalone feature, and requires other packages to option in.
Air Suspension On Yukon AT4
To get the new 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension on the AT4 models, one must also opt for the Premium Capability Package (Z6E) with Active Response 4WD.
Premium Capability Package (Z6E) with Active Response 4WD – $1,795:
- Air Ride Adaptive suspension (F47) – $1,000
- Electronic limited-slip differential (G96) – $795
As the name implies, the Premium Capability Package with Active Response 4WD is only available on 4WD models, and AT4 models come with 4WD as standard.
But opting for the Premium Capability Package with Active Response 4WD also requires the Technology Package (CWM), priced at $1,150, and the Max Trailering Package (NHT), priced at $465.
AT4 Technology Package – $1,150
- HD Surround Vision (UV2)
- Head-Up Display (UV6)
- Rear Pedestrian Alert (UKK)
AT4 Max Trailering Package – $465
- ProGrade Trailering System (ZL6)
- Extra capacity cooling system (V03)
Add up all those packages, and the optional 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension costs $3,410 worth of package add-ons for the AT4 model.
It’s also worth noting that the Premium Capability Package (Z6E) with Active Response 4WD – which includes Air Ride Adaptive suspension (F47) and the electronic limited-slip differential (G96) – is included with the AT4 Premium Plus Package (PEH).
Air Suspension On Yukon Denali 2WD
For the Denali, the air suspension feature requires the addition of the Max Trailering Package, priced at $465, plus 22-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint, priced at $1,975. Alternatively, buyers can swap in any other LPO wheels, if desired. Unlike the AT4, the Yukon Denali does not require 4WD, and is available on the 2WD model.
Denali Max Trailering Package (NHT) – $1,780
- ProGrade Trailering System (ZL6)
- Extra capacity cooling system (V03)
22-inch Bright Machined Aluminum Wheels (RPU) – $1,975
Add up all those packages, and the total cost of the 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension is $3,755 for the Denali 2WD model.
Air Suspension On Yukon Denali 4WD
For the 4WD Yukon Denali, the air suspension option requires the Premium Capability Package with Active Response 4WD, which in turn requires the Advanced Technology Package, the Max Trailering Package, plus 22-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint or any LPO wheels.
Premium Capability Package (Z6E) with Active Response 4WD (Z6E) – $1,795:
- Air Ride Adaptive suspension (F47) – $1,000
- Electronic limited-slip differential (G96) – $795
Denali Advanced Technology Package (CWN) – $1,780
- Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG)
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN)
- Rear Camera Mirror (DRZ)
- Rear Camera Mirror Washer (CWA)
- Advanced Security Package (NWM)
- Self-powered horn (UTR)
- Interior movement sensors (UTV)
- Vehicle inclination sensors (UTU)
- Glass Break sensors in rear quarter glass and liftgate window (UTW)
- Door and liftgate lock shields
Denali Max Trailering Package (NHT) – $465
- ProGrade Trailering System (ZL6)
- Extra capacity cooling system (V03)
- 22-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with premium paint (RPU) – $1,975
- Or any other LPO wheels
Adding all that up, and the total cost of the 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension is $6,015 for the Denali 4WD model.
Note that the adaptive air suspension is included with the Denali Ultimate Package (PEC) on the 2WD Yukon Denali model, while the aforementioned Premium Capability Package is included with the Denali Ultimate Package (PEC) on the 4WD Yukon Denali model.

Is the 2021 GMC Yukon air suspension worth picking up all these packages? Let us know in the comments, and make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more GMC Yukon news, GMC news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.
Update: an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the air suspension feature required 4WD on the Yukon Denali. This is not the case, since air suspension can be optioned on the 2WD Yukon Denali and the 4WD model. We have updated the article and pricing to reflect that.

Still makes Zero sense to me that the Yukon offers two different interiors. So if I like the Denali interior but prefer the AT4 Model I then need to looks elsewhere. Only GM does Stupid things like this. Man when will GM make GMC the True Premium Truck/SUV Brand it should be. Stop sharing Interiors once and for all. I mean the Nox and Terrain (which are muuuuuuuuch cheaper Models) can have completely different Interiors but not the Tahoe and Yukon. I am so tired of the GM Beancounters. They need to leave GM ASAP. I still believe GM needs to hire an Interior Guru away from another Auto Maker ASAP and give that Person Full Control. Especially for the Chevrolet Brand. Chevy interior materials are by far the absolute Worst in the Industry.
I mean Kia has Leapfrogged Chevrolet even. It is borderline embarrassing.
We need to start demanding much more from GM!!!
The new Yukon and Tahoe have different interiors…. so what’s the point of your post. Having an even nicer interior on the Denali makes sense as it makes it an even more premium vehicle, especially given its much higher price point.
I agree that the Denali interior should be offered on the AT4 trim line with a different combination of colors and stitching. Didn’t Cadillac say on the new Escalade that buyers were very clear that if they chose Sport trim lines they didn’t want “boy racer” interiors? Same applies for AT4.
In a perfect world I would have ordered an AT4 with a Diesel and a Denali interior. Charge me whatever you want.
My point is that you are wrong. The Tahoe and Yukon have the same interior. The Denali line has a completely different interior than any other Yukon. So that is the point.
I rent a lot of cars/cuv. Chevy interiorrs are just fine. Not sure where kia love comes from. The car shifts hard compared the the traverse or enclave. Interiors are not much different and gm tech is better.
Absolutely the worst was a brand new jeep pickup. On highway at 70 it was shaking. Went and turned it back in for a camry.
I love the enclave as it rides so nicely.
I agree with that assessment overall, with one small exception: Kia/Hyundai cabins seem to deliver slightly more finesse, particularly in the mid-level and high-end trim levels of a model. The materials aren’t necessarily better, they just “look” better – resulting in a “wow factor” feeling.

I am around many Makes and Models. A lot actually.
I am not discussing how each Brand drives at all. I believe Exterior Design and Ride and Handling is where GM Shines the Most. I am ONLY speaking about Interior Materials. Chevrolet has Hard Upper Dash that almost No Other Auto Maker uses anymore. I will say the following Chevy Interiors use Hard Plastics all throughout the interior especially in the Dreaded upper Dash area that their Competitors do not.
Cruze (I know it is no longer available…Probably due to it’s lackluster interior and engine)
Malibu
Bolt (Arguable the cheapest Interior in the Industry)
Trailblazer
Nox
Blazer
Traverse
Silverado (even the High Country and Denali versions have Hard Plastic Upper Dash area)
If the C8 and Tahoe are an indication of what Chevy will be getting than great. We shall see.
The information in the report is incorrect, in that the Air Ride Adaptive suspension on 2021 GMC Yukon Denali requires 4WD. I know, I’ve got one on order!
Chuck – you’re correct. We updated the report shortly after publishing it, and now show air suspension pricing separately for the 2WD Denali and 4WD Denali models. Thanks for the note!

Anyone able to find the total vehicle heights with this air suspension?
From what I’ve been told, it only raises it either one or two inches. You can choose which one. Also, it is set to go up when you start the vehicle, and go down when it’s turned off. Therefore, I will be turning it off & only use it when I need it…just like the running boards.
It is just frustrating that this new option is holding up mine being built. I guess it is causing some issues with production.
Unfortunately, I heard the Covid-19 situation has the plant in TX operating at only 25%, which adds to the delivery time as well.
GM strikes again with making a desirable feature only available on specific trims with the forcing of expensive options and trim levels to get them. It should be offered in all but maybe the cheapest trim no excuses!
I’m getting mixed signals regarding the availability to order a 2021 Yukon AT4. Went in today to order mine, only to be told after 30 minutes that somehow the AT4 was taken off their website and can’t be ordered now? Maybe only to get me in the door, but I wish GM would make it possible NOW! Maybe I should just keep shopping different dealerships? Or is this even true? This is what he said- “we could order them last week, but something changed” Did GM allow for some to be ordered and now turned it off, since their production on the AT4 will be only 20% of 1st run Yukons? Another 20% for the SLT and 55% on the Denali?
Some honesty would be great
So is the air suspension worth the price?
Can this air ride be added at a dealership? Guessing the answer is no.
