The first step in any big trip is getting everything and everyone in the vehicle comfortably. With available seating for up to eight passengers in both the GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe, there’s plenty of room to spare.

Let’s take a closer look at the interior dimensions of these two SUVs:
GMC YUKON | CHEVY TAHOE | |
---|---|---|
1st / 2nd / 3rd ROW LEGROOM | 44.5″ / 42″ / 34.9″ | 44.5″ / 42″ / 36.7″ |
1st / 2nd / 3rd ROW HEADROOM | 42.3″ / 38.9″ / 38.2″ | 42.3″ / 38.9″ / 38.2″ |
1st / 2nd / 3rd ROW SHOULDER ROOM | 66″ / 64.8″ / 62.7″ | 66″ / 64.8″ / 61.7″ |

CARGO VOLUME BEHIND 2nd ROW | 72.6 cu. ft. | 72.6 cu. ft. |
CARGO VOLUME BEHIND 1st ROW | 122.9 cu. ft. | 122.9 cu. ft. |
As you can see, both the Yukon and the Tahoe have plenty of room for you and your guests to stretch out and get comfortable. Both also have ample room around the back for storing your luggage, camping gear, picnic snacks, or whatever you need for your time away, with a cavernous total of 122.9 cubic feet of max cargo space.
Do you want to expand your space further? Only the GMC Yukon is available with a longer wheelbase. The GMC Yukon XL extends the vehicle length by 15.2 inches and provides up to 144.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume.

If you still need more than the expansive cargo space available in the Yukon and Tahoe, both models also offer impressive towing capability.

With 8,400 pounds of max towing capacity on both vehicles, you can hook up a trailer for more storage, a camper, or even a boat for a day on the water.
Both the Yukon and the Tahoe offer available features to help make towing easy, including:
- Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Smart Trailer Integration Indicator
These features and more are available with the Max Trailering Package and the ProGradeâ„¢ Trailering System.

Of course, on a big trip, you’ll want to be sure that you and your passengers feel safe and secure, something both SUVs can help with.

Both offer a collection of safety and driver-assistive systems to help you feel confident on the road, with GMC Pro Safety Plus on the Yukon and Chevy Safety Assist on the Tahoe.
Both offer standard and available systems, like:
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams
Teen Driver also comes standard on both models, which makes them the perfect vehicle for families with up-and-coming drivers. Whenever your teen’s key fob is in use, it will automatically engage equipped safety features and limit certain vehicle features to encourage better driving habits.
