To Find The Right Career

Safety Tip:Even if you drive a gas-guzzler, you can still save money on gas: Avoid accelerating and braking hard or jackrabbiting, keep your tires properly infl ated, plan your trips and combine errands, turn

off your engine when idling and unload extra weight in your vehicle.

Question of the WeekChrysler is the master at recreating that retro look in its new models such as the Challenger and the Charger. Which Ford or GM car from the past would you like to see reflected in a new version?

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.

LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.

Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,

whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.

DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.
