GMC Yukon Curb Weight: 5,377 lbs to 5,851 lbs

With a 5.3L V8 4x2 with Max Trailering Package configuration, the 2026 Yukon is rated to pull 8,400 lbs — 1.4 times the 5,851 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 1.6 times the 5,377 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the 5.3L V8 4x2 with Max Trailering Package build, not to every truck on this page: a Xl At4 / Denali 4dr SUV AWD starts 474 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV RWD before a trailer is coupled.

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Yukon is 54 of 81 in Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 339 lbs above the 5,038 lbs median and lighter than 27 of its peers.

Across the 2 body styles recorded in both layouts, four-wheel drive adds between 187 lbs and 209 lbs — roughly 3.6% of the two-wheel-drive weight. The transfer case, front differential and driveshaft account for that in every case, so the penalty barely moves with cab size.

The published 24-gallon tank holds about 146 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the Xl At4 / Denali 4dr SUV AWD is effectively a 5,705 lbs vehicle — 2.5% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

The lightest 2015 record is 5,309 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 5,377 lbs — 68 lbs heavier (1.3%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 5,851 lbs against 5,981 lbs in 2015, a 130 lbs reduction — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

NHTSA records a 51/49 distribution, so the 5,377 lbs splits to roughly 2,742 lbs on the front axle and 2,635 lbs on the rear.

The two axles are not the same width either: 68.5 in of track at the front against 68.1 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower behind.
