The 2025 GMC Yukon is more than a premium full-size SUV—it’s also built for serious towing. With the ProGrade Trailering System, the Yukon makes hauling boats, campers, and trailers safer and easier. At Crain Buick GMC in Springdale, Arkansas, we know that drivers need a combination of power, technology, and convenience. The 2025 Yukon delivers all three, making it one of the best SUVs for towing in Northwest Arkansas.
ProGrade Trailering System: Smarter Towing
A standard towing package may include a hitch and wiring, but GMC takes it further with the ProGrade Trailering System. Available on the 2025 Yukon and GMC trucks like the Sierra 1500 and Sierra Heavy Duty, this system simplifies towing and adds confidence on the road.
Key Features of the ProGrade Trailering System
In-Vehicle Trailering App
The GMC Infotainment System includes a Trailering App, giving drivers access to helpful towing tools. When paired with the myGMC Mobile App, it allows:
- Pre-departure checklists to ensure the trailer is safely connected.
- A trailer light test that checks brake lights, turn signals, and running lights.
- Trailer tire pressure monitoring to keep tires properly inflated.
- Customizable trailer profiles to track mileage, maintenance schedules, and brake settings.
Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
Lining up a hitch can be tricky, but Hitch Guidance with Hitch View makes it much easier. This feature:
- Displays a guideline on the Rear Vision Camera when reversing.
- Provides a close-up hitch view for precise alignment.
- Allows drivers to check the trailer while driving, ensuring everything stays secure.
Trailer Blind Side Zone Alert
Towing a large trailer can make lane changes difficult. Trailer Blind Side Zone Alert extends the Yukon’s blind-spot monitoring system to cover the length of the trailer. This system warns drivers when another vehicle is in the extended blind spot, reducing the risk of accidents.
Enhanced Trailering Technology Package
For those who tow frequently, the Enhanced Trailering Technology Package adds even more advanced towing features.
Available in the 2025 GMC Yukon, this package includes:
- Trailer Camera Provisions—Extra camera placements for better visibility.
- Trailering Assist Guidelines—Visual guides to help with backing up and maneuvering.
- Auxiliary Trailer Camera—An additional camera for a clearer rear view.
With up to nine available camera views, the 2025 Yukon provides exceptional visibility, making towing easier than ever.
Powerful Towing Capability
The 2025 GMC Yukon delivers the power and technology needed for smooth, reliable towing. With the available Max Trailering Package, the Yukon Denali Ultimate can tow up to 8,000 pounds.
Key towing features include:
- An enhanced cooling radiator to prevent overheating.
- A trailer brake controller for more controlled stops.
- A tow/haul mode that adjusts transmission shifts for improved towing performance.
This strength makes the Yukon ideal for hauling a boat to Beaver Lake, towing an RV for a weekend getaway, or pulling a trailer through the Ozarks.
