Wilcoxson GMC – Can the 2025 GMC Yukon Tow My Family Camper with Confidence in Pueblo, CO?
The 2025 GMC Yukon is engineered to handle family adventures around Pueblo, CO, including hauling small boats to Lake Pueblo State Park or towing a travel trailer into the Rockies. For shoppers asking whether Yukon can confidently tow in and around Pueblo’s elevation and varied terrain, the answer centers on capability, technology, and the right configuration. Properly equipped, Yukon offers an available max towing capacity of 8,400 pounds, supported by available advanced trailering tech and confidence-inspiring driver assistance features. At Wilcoxson GMC, we help match your trailer needs to the correct Yukon build so your weekend plans start with smooth hookups and steady highway manners on I-25 or Highway 50.
Capability starts with the Yukon’s powertrains and chassis tuning. The lineup features a 5.3L V8 with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while select trims offer a 6.2L V8. For shoppers seeking long-range efficiency for mountain trips, the available Enhanced Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine is expected to arrive in late availability, anticipated spring 2025. Beyond power, Yukon models offer engineered control: Magnetic Ride Control on AT4 and Four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension on AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate help maintain composure with a trailer on Pueblo’s uneven surfaces. Available 4WD adds traction when launching watercraft or navigating dirt access roads, and the available advanced trailering tech enhances visibility, monitoring, and guidance.
