GMC’s 2022 Yukon 4WD AT4 is an attractive vehicle, if a bit underdone for what we expect from an off-roader.Ross Ballot

Bigness abounds. This is a large vehicle.Ross Ballot

The trailer hitch receiver and wiring hookup points usually live beneath a plastic cover. Once that’s removed, attaching a trailer is relatively easy.Ross Ballot

GM’s ubiquitous screen and camera setup works as well here as everywhere else.Ross Ballot

The rear suspension’s lower arms are an inevitable trouble point in rock crawling situations. They’re beefy, but sit very low and are likely to get hung up.Ross Ballot

The air suspension components are enormous.Ross Ballot

All of the vital controls are completed with buttons and knobs, the way it should be.Ross Ballot

Good-looking wheels, but bigger than we consider ideal for off-road use.Ross Ballot

Second row passengers are treated to their own HVAC controls, heated seats, and plenty of charging points.Ross Ballot

Second-row passengers also get headrest-mounted entertainment screens.Ross Ballot

The push/pull button/lever shifter works, but we much prefer traditional options or even the dial found in some Ram products.Ross Ballot

We recommend a drop hitch for lower trailers when pulling with the AT4.Ross Ballot

The trailering, mode, and 4WD controls are easy to use but live somewhat out of the driver’s sightline as they’re to the left of and below the steering wheel. We do like that the trailer brake controller icon lights up when a trailer is attached.Ross Ballot
