General Motors has begun rolling out its 10-speed automatic transmission with the 2018 GMC Yukon XL Denali, which results in a silkier drive for this large SUV.
The package includes all of the options available on the Yukon Denali, along with black-painted 22-inch wheels with chrome inserts, polished exhaust tip, chrome mirror caps, premium carpeted floor mats, and an exclusive Onyx Black exterior paint.
GMC's Yukon Denali will arrive for 2018 with a new 10-speed transmission, sculpted grille, and interior upgrades, General Motors has announced.
The U.S. recall, tied to a software defect, covers 3.64 million vehicles in the 2014 to 2017 model years.
GMC will offer the Yukon SLT Premium Edition, a chrome-trimmed special model offering for the Yukon SLT and Yukon XL SLT models, for the 2016 model year.
The Yukon XL Denali is powered by a standard 6.2L V-8, coupled to an eight-speed transmission, generating 420 hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. It is equipped with a comprehensive safety package and is loaded with 4G LTE technology.
The recall, which covers multiple models, will address a weld-related steering issue in nearly 4,800 pickup trucks and SUVs.
The action affects 83,572 2011-2012 model-year vehicles with ignition lock actuators at risk for binding.
A technical service bulletin issued to dealers addresses a potential problem in which the ignition key can get bumped out of position while the vehicle is stopped and the driver is shifting gears.
General Motors has added an eight-speed automatic transmission to its 2015 GMC Yukon Denali and Yukon Denali XL models that improves fuel economy from the six-speed offered with the 2014 models.
