Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)
GMC Yukon sales kept the full-size SUV family in second place for the second quarter in a row in the mainstream full-size SUVs segment during Q4 2021, with a mere percentage point decline in sales, to 24,499 units.
Our approach to the figures remains: Ford combines sales of the Expedition and Expedition Max into a single line item, while GM’s Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban as well as the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL are reported on separate line items. To keep it apples-to-apples, we combine sales of the Tahoe with those of the Suburban, and do the same with sales of the Yukon and Yukon XL.
The Yukon’s corporate cousins, the Chevy Tahoe (see running Chevrolet Tahoe sales) and Chevy Suburban (see running Chevrolet Suburban sales), together continued to lead the pack, with a 6 percent increase in sales, to 44,913 units. These were followed by the Yukon family in second. The Ford Expedition family (see running Ford Expedition sales) remained in third place, with a 32 percent decline in sales, to 17,784 units. The all-new Jeep Wagoneer, which launched this past summer, moved up to fourth place, moving 5,307 units. Filling out the bottom of the list were the Nissan Armada, in spite of a 484 percent jump in sales volume to 4,130 units, and the Toyota Sequoia, with a 26 percent drop to 1,959 units.

The GM Authority Take
GMC Yukon/Yukon XL sales enabled it to again outsell the Ford Expedition range during the fourth quarter of 2021 after doing so during the third quarter of 2021. The results place it in second place in the mainstream full-size SUV segment behind its Chevy Tahoe/Suburban corporate cousins.
The GM SUVs were overhauled (re-engineered and redesigned) for the 2021 model year. With new looks, technology, enhanced performance, and optimized efficiency, the Yukon, along with the Tahoe/Suburban, continue to dominate.
Yet GM is already prepping a refresh of the Yukon set to debut for the 2024 model year. We recently brought you spy photos of the 2024 GMC Yukon refresh undergoing testing, followed by photos of what appears to be a 2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate undergoing testing. As a reminder, the Denali Ultimate trim level was first introduced with the fully refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, arriving as the new range-topping trim in the GMC Sierra lineup. It now appears as though GM is developing a similar range-topping option for the 2024 GMC Yukon refresh as well.
2023 Toyota Sequoia
That’s a good thing, because competitors continue lobbying rival offerings. The newest entry is the fully redesigned 2023 Toyota Sequoia three-row SUV revealed in January 2022 as a fresh new rival to the regular-wheelbase Yukon (and Chevy Tahoe). The refreshed Yukon will ensure that Big Red has the product to continue performing extremely well in its segment in spite of new entries that could potentially threaten its position.

GM Covering Transmission Control Valve Repairs For 15 Years On Some Full-Size Trucks And SUVs
Comments
Once the loyalist buy their brand, comes down to the look, and price.
So far the look of the gm squad is far above the competition mentioned. IMO
Ford’s biggest mistake was to bet entirely on the twin turbo V6 as the sole powertrain offer besides the look of the Expedition & Navigator….No V8, no diesel (V6 or V8 Powerstroke) option.
They still praise its higher torque over engines powering GM full size SUV family but I really doubt about its dependability on the very long term.
No it wasn’t, it’s mistake was making it seem like a grandma car, not releasing a performance variant. On top of that, the Expedition has been garbage since 2010.
They were obviously overconfident about the commercial success of the twin turbo V6….If there was an alternative gas V8 offer and a diesel option there wouldn’t be a big gap in sales with the GM competitors.
While I think it would help of ford offered the 5.0 in the base model, there really isn’t one big mistake, but a handful. Offering independent suspension, styling it more feminine than their trucks, and adding the 5.4l 3v in 05 certainly didn’t help. I think ford is on the right track offering off-road models, but I I think they need to call the xl or El whatever the longer expedition is called, something else. I don’t think anyone knows there exists a suburban competitor. Doesn’t need to be called expedition either. I think the excursion name needs to be polished off. Everyone knows an excursion is really big, and frankly the older ones values are going through the roof. I don’t really get the bold refined look ford is going for when Lincoln exists. I think fords need to look tough, which I feel the new Timberlands or whatever the lifted one is called seems to have finally incorporated.
Independent rear axle is the only reason I’d never buy one . like the solid rear axle to carry the extra wt of a heavy trailer and payload
