When looking for a capable SUV that can seat a whole family and offers the utility of a pickup truck, there’s no better choice in the Lake Charles area than the impressive GMC Yukon XL. With three rows of seating standard and all the features that our customers want, the Yukon XL is a must-see for families that need space and a high towing ability. Learn more with help from the team at Navarre GMC.

At our Gerstner Memorial Boulevard dealership, we strive to help our customers in Sulphur, LA and Moss Bluff, LA find their best vehicle fit. One way we do that is by providing the inside scoop on how our models compare to similarly sized options.

Take the Chevy Suburban, for example. While these SUVs are closely related within the GM lineup, and both achieve around 8,000 pounds of maximum towing ability with an interior that’s spacious and accommodates up to 9 people, the GMC Yukon XL has a few extras that the Chevy does not. If you’re trying to decide between these two SUVs, we can help.

Here are a few key areas where the GMC model outshines the Chevy:

    • Standard tech features. GMC knows what their drivers want, and they deliver. In the case of the Yukon XL vs. the Suburban, this comes in the form of more standard tech amenities, such as standard satellite radio and a standard touchscreen interface that’s larger than the one in the Chevy Suburban.
    • Standard safety features. While both models have the safety tech you want to keep your family safe, the Yukon XL has more. For example, all GMC Yukon XL SUVs get a standard rear-seat reminder system, while this safety feature is not standard with the Chevy model.
    • Options for personalization. The GMC Yukon model lineup also has more opportunities for drivers in Jennings to customize their ride. Options include a full menu of available packages and add-on features, as well as the model we’re discussing here – the Yukon XL. This is an extended-length version of the original Yukon, with added interior space and third-row legroom. The Suburban doesn’t offer as many personalized touches.

Make the trip to see us from your home in Orange, TX. We’re easy to get to, easy to work with, and we look forward to introducing you to the GMC Yukon XL soon.
