Expert Answers about GMC Yukon XL


  • Front Mount Hitch Fits for a 2017 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • I'm not sure about any differences between the Denali model or your 2017 GMC Yukon XL but I can say that the front mount hitches that fit your Yukon XL are the Draw-Tite # 65064 and the Curt # C31073. The Draw-Tite doesn't require any drilling but you will need to trim or remove the front air dam while the Curt does require drilling but may not require trimming or removal of the air dam. I have attached installation instructions for both that you can check out. If you let me know what...

  • Will Westin Sportsman Grille Need To Be Removed To Replace Headlight Bulbs?
  • The Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel, # 40-2135, will not need to be removed to replace headlight bulbs. I double checked your owners manual to confirm this for your vehicle, but most headlights now replace bulbs from the back side of the housing.

  • Can a 3rd Transmission Cooler be Added to a 2013 GMC Yukon XL
  • Long story short, yes, you can add ANOTHER cooler to the transmission cooler setup on your 2013 GMC Yukon XL. I'm curious why you are wanting to do this though since it sounds like your engine isn't struggling even when you're towing. Nevertheless, you just need to make sure you have enough room to fit a third transmission cooler, and that the fittings match up. Our most popular cooler is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 which measures 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall...

  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch For 2019 Yukon Denali XL Towing 34 Foot Forest River Flagstaff
  • I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37101ET for your 2019 GMC Yukon XL Denali hauling a Forest River Flagstaff weighing 8,300lbs with 830lbs of tongue weight. This hitch is rated for a trailer up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. It does not include a shank so you will be able to find a shank with the correct amount of drop from the list below. 1/4" to 4" of Drop # EQ90-02-4200 2-1/4" to 6" of Drop # EQ90-02-4300 5-1/4" to 9" of Drop # EQ90-02-4400 8-1/4"...

  • Choosing The Right Weight Distribution Hitch For Your 7,000LB Haulmark Trailer
  • To determine the correct weight distribution hitch for your 2007 GMC Yukon Xl and 2004 Haulmark trailer you will need to find the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded as you intend to haul it. It is a good idea to determine what the maximum tongue weight might be as well so you do not exceed the hitch rating. Since we no longer carry the Husky hitches you inquired about I am going to compare 2 similar weight distribution hitches. First the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800...

  • Will a Front Mount Hitch Interfere with the Adaptive Cruise Control on a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali
  • A front hitch itself, either # C31073 or # 65064 for the 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali, would not interfere with the adaptive cruise control on the vehicle. But when you have something in the hitch that item could interfere with the sensors for the cruise control.

  • Can Tire Snow Chains Be Used on 2014 GMC Yukon Denali XL w/ 275/55-20 Tires
  • We fitguide our tire chains according to their compatibility with a given tire size not by their compatibility with a given vehicle, because many vehicles (like your Yukon XL) can be fitted with several different tire sizes. Before recommending tire chains to anyone, I always recommend that they consult their vehicle manufacturer or owners manual for any advice or prohibitions about tire snow chain usage that might be mentioned. I found an online copy of the owner's manual which does indeed...

  • Will Erickson and US Cargo Control Accessories Work With etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks
  • I can't confirm US Cargo Control as this is not a brand we carry but the e-track fittings are fairly standardized so you should be able to use any brand designed for e-tracks such as the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Ring part # 59131 with the etrailer Horizontal E-Tracks like part # e62VR

  • Can a Thule Roof Rack Support a James Baroud Tent on a 2008 GMC Yukon XL
  • Your 2008 GMC Yukon XL requires the 60 inch bars so you would use # TH711520 and then feet # TH710401. The roof rack is rated for 165 pounds though so unless the combined weight of the tent you use and occupants is less than 165 pounds you would be over the capacity of this roof rack. If it is just the tent then it would be at the capacity but would not exceed it. Yakima has a solution to the low weight capacities of roof racks and vehicles in the USA; take a look at the SkyRise # Y07421...

  • Solution for Running Boards on 2017 GMC Yukon Denali XL
  • I do have a solution, but unfortunately the Aries ActionTrac # AA3025165 will not fit your 2017 GMC Yukon XL. There are no motorized running boards available for your vehicle. Instead, I recommend the Aries AscentSteps Running Boards # AA2558047. Although they do not have the additional step, they will still make it easier to enter and exit with your 3" lift.

  • What is Needed To Switch Weight Distribution to New Tow Vehicle
  • If you already have the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RP66130, you won't need a new system. You'll just need the appropriate size shank for your 2007 GMC Yukon X to get the trailer level when towing. All weight distribution shanks are universal, you just need to find the correct rise or drop, and the correct size for the receiver tube. You'll want to measure to find out how much drop or rise you need in the shank, and you can check out our selection of weight distribution...

  • Will the Surco Clamp-On Adapters Work on a 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  • The Surco Products Clamp-On Adapters # SP1101 that you referenced are designed to work on factory raised factory side rails so they should work on side rails of your 2007 GMC Yukon XL. These will allow you to attach a Surco Safari 5.0 rooftop cargo basket to your factory side rails.

  • Will a Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Box Fit a 2014 Yukon Denali XL with Factory Roof Rack
  • Yes, the Thule Atlantis series of cargo boxes will fit onto the factory crossbars on your 2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali. The Atlantis series of boxes have been discontinued though. If you are in the market for a cargo box then I recommend the Motion XT, # TH629706, or Force XT, # TH6358B. The Hyper has 16 cubic feet of space and the Force XT is 18 which are the closest to the Atlantis 1800 and they fit a 23-5/8 inch minimum bar spread . I have linked video reviews of these boxes for you.

  • Longer Ramp For a Thule XT Bike Rack on a 2013 GMC Yukon XL
  • It sounds like you may already have a Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 for your Aventon Level step-thru bike. With you having a taller SUV like the 2013 GMC Yukon XL, the included ramp would be a little short, causing that steep grade you are talking about. But, Thule thought about that and came out with the Extra-Long Loading Ramp # TH933402 which is designed for SUVs, vans or other tall vehicles.

  • Best Method to Combat Vehicle Sag on a 2011 GMC Yukon XL
  • According to the GMC Trailer Towing Chart your 2011 GMC Yukon XL has a maximum towing capacity of 8,300 lbs. Generally speaking if your gross trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50% of the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) than a weight distribution system is highly recommended. If you already have a weight distribution system I recommend weighing your current setup to ensure you have the properly rated spring bars. If you do not have a weight distribution system you will need to use the...
