The standard front bucket seats are comfortable in any driving situation. A very good split bench seat is optionally available. Luggage capacity is helped no small amount by a spare tire that resides under the car, pickup truck-style. Modern trucks have come as far in ride comfort and handling as they have in interior amenities. The Yukon is a good example.
All components work together to give a firm but quite comfortable ride that is devoid of harshness.
The Yukon's high stance gives a commanding view of the road. Steering effort is light, with no play and good road feel. The Yukon has a new gasoline engine for 1996. The classic GM 350 cubic inch V8 has gotten sequential central port fuel injection, a new composite intake manifold, new exhaust and ignition systems, cooling system enhancements, and more. It has lower maintenance requirements than previous GMC V8 engines.
