8 Attributes Canton Drivers Will Love About the 2025 Sierra 1500

There's packing light. And then there's packing for real life—suitcases, coolers, backpacks, sports gear, groceries, the dog's stuff, the kids' stuff, and the one bag everyone swears is someone else's. Your search for the 2027 GMC Yukon XL for sale in Ann Arbor proves you're looking for an SUV that can handle the latter without hesitation or compromise. Are we right? This full-size SUV takes the comfort, capability, refinement, and premium character of the Yukon and adds something families never seem to have enough of: space. Three rows? Room for up to eight? Enough cargo space for the essentials and more? Absolutely. Here's how GMC puts the "extra" in the 2027 Yukon XL. Three Rows & Plenty of Room to Spare Here's the problem with many three-row SUVs: the moment you fill that third row with passengers, cargo space starts to disappear. The 2027 Yukon XL takes a different approach. At 225.2 inches long, the Yukon XL is just over 15 inches longer than the standard Yukon. The good news? Much of that additional room is exactly where a busy family can use it—behind the third row. The Magic Number Maximum cargo capacity gets plenty of attention when people shop for SUVs, but there's a catch. Those enormous numbers generally require folding the rear seats and sacrificing passenger capacity. That's great when you're hauling furniture, but it's not so helpful when you need room for your kids, their friends, and everyone else along for the ride. That's why 41.5 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the third row is the Yukon XL's magic number. The Real World Impact The 2027 Yukon maintains the status quo, forcing drivers to balance their passenger and cargo-hauling needs with a modest 25.5 cu.ft. of space behind the third row. It's a game of Tetris that no one asked for or has time to play. The 2027 Yukon XL offers far more everyday versatility with 41.5 cu.ft. of space behind the third row, meaning it can carry up to eight people and still have room for: Backpacks, work bags, and everyday essentials Luggage for a family vacation Sports equipment and recreational gear Groceries after a serious restocking trip Coolers, supplies, and gear for weekend getaways Strollers and other family must-haves This versatility is only the beginning. Need More Room? Fold Away The 2027 Yukon XL practically begs you to bring the essentials and far more, aptly earning its name and proving that "extra" isn't always a bad thing, at least not in the automotive world. In fact, that extra translates to more possibilities and opportunities because the Yukon XL's configurable three-row layout flexes to your agenda: 41.5 cu.ft. to manage your weekly routine with kids, friends, and everyone else. 93.6 cu.ft. to handle luggage, groceries, project supplies, tools, and other items. 144.5 cu.ft. to unlock even more versatile space for larger gear, furniture, etc. That configurability ensures the 2027 Yukon XL is just as ready to tackle your Monday morning commute as it is to make a Saturday run to the hardware store to get supplies for a DIY project around the house. One SUV built for real-world demands. Everybody In! All that cargo room in the Yukon XL wouldn't mean much if GMC treated passengers like an afterthought; fortunately, they aren't. If anything, GMC prioritizes passenger comfort, giving Ann Arbor drivers an SUV that promises the best of both worlds. Depending on configuration, the 2027 Yukon XL offers seating for up to eight people across three rows. Modifying that layout is easy with optional second-row captain's chairs, which improve accessibility to the third row. Either way, there's generous space throughout the cabin, including up to 44.5 inches of legroom in the front row, 42 inches in the second row, and 36.7 inches in the third row. For comparison, the Yukon's third row is noticeably more cramped, offering only 34.9 inches of legroom. Finding Your Fit Now the question is, what's the right configuration for you? Bench seating or captain's chairs—that's the dilemma. Your choice largely depends on your family and lifestyle needs. A second-row bench is ideal if you have a larger family or frequently bring friends or extended family along for the ride. Captain's chairs offer a more spacious layout, easier access to the third row, and more personal space between second-row passengers. Need more time to decide? Let's look beyond your day-to-day. Road-Trip Ready With room for passengers and luggage, there's no question that the 2027 Yukon XL will meet you in life's ordinary moments and make every mile more enjoyable. But what about the bigger adventures—the well-deserved road trips, spontaneous weekend getaways, and long-planned vacations? The Yukon XL is ready for it all. Your Road-Trip Toolkit The 2027 Yukon XL has a diverse trim lineup that includes the well-equipped Elevation, the rugged AT4 and AT4 Ultimate, and the opulent Denali and Denali Ultimate. With distinct styling, each trim brings a unique sense of adventure to the road. As you'll find, road-trip-friendly highlights include: Seamless connectivity via a 16.8-inch GMC infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Premium rear-seat entertainment with 12.6-inch dual rear touchscreen displays. Smooth ride and responsive handling, thanks to sophisticated chassis technologies like the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control. Confident cruising with Super Cruise hands-free driver-assist, a 15-inch head-up display, and an extensive suite of driver-assist and safety features. Mile after mile comfort with upscale finishes and available amenities ranging from premium leather seating to heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats on selected trims. Passenger-oriented upgrades include a power-sliding center console, a rear climate-control touchscreen, and heated second-row seats. With these features and amenities available, hearing "Are we there yet?" for the ninth time might be your biggest remaining obstacle. Pick Your Power The Yukon XL's appeal goes beyond its passenger and cargo accommodations to its performance and the roadworthiness it offers wherever life takes you. It's a full-size SUV that feels far more responsive and engaging than drivers expect. GMC accomplishes this with the Yukon XL's multi-engine lineup and smooth-shifting ten-speed automatic transmission: 5.3L V8: A traditional V8 heartbeat that gives the Yukon XL plenty of muscle for everyday driving and trailering duties. It produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque with a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 lbs. 6.2L V8: Upping the performance, the 6.2L V8 delivers even more power, producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque for a more engaging driving experience. It's also rated to tow up to 8,200 lbs. 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel: GMC's inline-six produces 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque, giving drivers a diesel option in a segment increasingly dominated by gas engines. Three engines, three different ways to put the "utility" in a sports utility vehicle. So, what's left to consider? Brawn and Brains: New Tech Extra space for passengers and cargo and engaging performance are great, but extra confidence behind the wheel makes the Yukon XL even better. The 2027 Yukon XL debuts with an extensive suite of innovative technologies that do far more than keep you connected and entertained; they add confidence and composure to every mile. As you browse the 2027 lineup, you'll find new standard technologies, such as the Surround Vision Recorder. The technology works with the SUV's Surround Vision cameras, recording footage in two-hour loops when the engine is on. When parked, the feature automatically records when the Yukon's alarm is triggered. This feature, along with Super Cruise, Google built-in, and many others, makes the Yukon XL one of the most well-rounded SUVs in its class. Living That Yukon XL Life in Ann Arbor Life has a funny way of filling every available moment and inch. Families grow. Hobbies require more gear. Weekend trips stretch to weeklong vacations. A quick trip to the grocery store ends with an overflowing cart. Your kids invite friends over, family arrives from out of town, and the list goes on. The 2027 GMC Yukon XL is ready to roll with you in every season of life. Its greatest strength isn't one flashy feature or enormous number. It's the way its spaciousness, seating, comfort, capability, and technology work together to create an SUV prepared for real life. Experience it today. Bring the family. Bring friends. Bring the luggage, essentials, and that mystery bag no one wants to claim. The Yukon XL has room.

Shopping at a used car dealership like ours is a smart way to find a reliable vehicle while staying within your budget. Used vehicles depreciate more slowly, are more affordably priced, and offer a wider selection of makes and models. Fortunately, the good news doesn't stop there. With rising prices, more drivers are turning to used vehicles to save money. However, they expect the same script–an experience laden with concerns about vehicle condition and maintenance history. Traditionally, shopping for a used vehicle meant taking a great risk, but that's no longer true. At LaFontaine Buick GMC Ann Arbor, we're thrilled to be a CarBravo dealership and introduce a new, more confident, and rewarding way to shop for a used vehicle. Backed by General Motors, CarBravo gives shoppers greater confidence when purchasing a used car, truck, or SUV. Here's everything you need to know about this exciting program. What Is CarBravo? CarBravo is General Motors' used-vehicle marketplace and certified vehicle program, designed to provide shoppers with additional confidence through inspections, warranties, and ownership benefits. Unlike traditional Certified Pre-Owned programs that are limited to a single automaker's marque, CarBravo models span the entire spectrum of world-renowned brands. You'll find GM models from Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC alongside non-GM vehicles. The result? A top-quality selection that provides drivers like you with a higher-quality used vehicle experience backed by inspections, warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and many other benefits. CarBravo provides the confidence you deserve on the pre-owned lot. What Makes a Vehicle "CarBravo Certified?" Not every used vehicle qualifies for CarBravo certification. Why? GM's certified used vehicle program holds models to higher standards to give customers like you the best, top-quality selection. To earn certification, eligible vehicles first qualify based on their age and mileage, which determines where they fall in the two-tiered program–CarBravo or BravoBudget. From there, the vehicles undergo a rigorous multi-point inspection performed by certified technicians. These inspections evaluate major components, ensuring every vehicle meets the program's stringent quality standards. CarBravo Certified Vehicles CarBravo vehicles are generally newer models with lower mileage that have passed a comprehensive inspection and vetting process. Vehicles in this category must meet strict requirements for age, condition, and overall quality. CarBravo vehicles meet these standards: Less than 10 model years old Have less than 100,000 miles on the odometer Pass a 126-point inspection BravoBudget Vehicles Budget-savvy shoppers looking for an older pre-owned car, truck, or SUV that offers greater confidence and peace of mind will appreciate BravoBudget models. Why? BravoBudget models recognize something that most certified used vehicle programs do not: the value of older models with higher mileage. These cars, trucks, and SUVs still have a lot to offer and plenty of miles left on the odometer, and CarBravo leverages that with this second tier. BravoBudget vehicles meet these standards: 10 to 15 model years old 100,000 to 150,000 miles on the odometer Pass a strict 62-point inspection The result? Cars, trucks, and SUVs that offer more confidence and certainty to value-conscious buyers seeking dependable transportation at a lower price point. The Inspection Process: CarBravo Standards One of the biggest reasons shoppers choose CarBravo is the inspection process. Unlike a standard used vehicle, which is cleaned inside and out before joining our lot, every used CarBravo vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection that verifies it's worthy of certification, a place in our inventory, and a future in your driveway. During the inspection, our certified technicians assess critical vehicle systems, such as: Engine Transmission Steering Suspension Batteries Brakes Tires and wheels Electrical components Interior and exterior condition Safety features Vehicles that do not meet the CarBravo standards are either repaired before certification or removed from the program altogether. The process, albeit highly competitive, ensures that shoppers like you have access to a selection of pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs that have been carefully evaluated to deliver the quality, value, and reliability you deserve. Benefits of Buying a CarBravo Vehicle CarBravo certification offers much more than an inspection alone. Drivers enjoy a variety of benefits designed to provide confidence long after they leave our lot. Warranties: Peace of Mind for Every Mile One of the most valuable CarBravo benefits is warranty protection, a benefit you won't find on traditional used vehicles that are sold as-is. These warranties vary by certification, but both CarBravo and BravoBudget warranties cover these core components: Engine Turbocharger Supercharger Driving systems Transfer case Transmission Transaxle Seals Gaskets This bumper-to-bumper limited warranty offers coverage for: 12 months or 12,000 miles on CarBravo models. 30 days or 1,000 miles on BravoBudget models. Extended Coverage with CarBravo CarBravo models less than 10 model years old with fewer than 100,000 miles on the odometer have more components covered than BravoBudget models do. The CarBravo warranty also includes: Air conditioner Brakes EV and hybrid components Electrical Front and rear suspension Regenerative braking system Steering Roadside Assistance: 24/7, 365 Days a Year Unexpected situations can happen to any driver, but GM helps you prepare for the unexpected by adding roadside assistance to every CarBravo and BravoBudget vehicle. This coverage runs the duration of your warranty and offers 24-hour roadside service, 365 days a year. It's an essential service that can assist with a dead car battery, a flat tire, an empty fuel tank, lockouts, and more. Satisfaction Guarantee, Total Transparency, & Convenience CarBravo is designed to make the used vehicle buying experience more transparent and convenient from start to finish. Every eligible CarBravo vehicle includes benefits that help shoppers confidently navigate their purchase and enjoy support long after the sale. These benefits run the entire spectrum, from satisfaction to convenience: Transparency via every CARFAX vehicle history report Vehicles with any applicable safety recalls addressed before certification Courtesy transportation for covered warranty repairs Top-quality service from expert technicians at CarBravo dealerships like ours No extra charges or hidden fees for parts, labor, or towing on covered warranty repairs A 10-day or 500-mile vehicle exchange program that ensures your satisfaction Together, these features create a more relaxed, worry-free ownership experience and reinforce CarBravo's commitment to your satisfaction at every step of the car-buying and ownership process. FAQs: Know Before You Shop Have questions? We have answers as your CarBravo dealer. #1 What is CarBravo? CarBravo is General Motors' certified used vehicle program, providing warranty coverage and additional benefits that many used vehicles don't offer. #2 Are CarBravo models only GM brands?

No. CarBravo vehicles are held to higher standards: every vehicle must meet specific age and mileage requirements before undergoing a thorough inspection by certified technicians. Vehicles are also certified recall-free. #4 What's the difference between CarBravo and BravoBudget? CarBravo is a tiered program that includes newer models, less than 10 model years old, with fewer than 100,000 miles on the odometer, that qualify as CarBravo models. Older models are classified as BravoBudget, which are 10 to 15 years old and have between 100,000 and 150,000 miles on the odometer.

The digital age has given drivers more options than ever before for selling goods and services, whether it's renting out your home, delivering food, or ferrying people around town as part of a rideshare service. There are many advantages to these tech-powered transactions, especially in terms of convenience, but the approach loses some of its appeal when it comes to big-ticket items like cars, trucks, and SUVs. Drivers have been peddling their unwanted automotive wares through newspaper classifieds and auto-trading publications for decades, but the advent of the internet has made private sales easier than ever. Just type “ Sell my car” into your browser of choice, and you’ll be met with endless options, including web-based classifieds and social media marketplaces. While the convenience is tough to deny, the web-based approach does have some downsides. From lowball offers and sketchy interactions to liability-related issues, private sales often fall short of the convenience and professionalism of the dealership experience. Join us as we explore the benefits of working with a dealership and cover a few brief tips that’ll help to prep your car for a successful sale. Dealer vs Private Sale Drivers have an important decision to make when it comes time to part with their current ride. Do you sell to the dealership, or try your luck on the open market? While it’s largely a matter of personal preference, there are some important factors a seller should consider before pursuing a private sale. Convenience and Speed Statistics show that the average private sale often takes as long as two to eight weeks between the time of listing and the day of sale, which can seem like an eternity if you’re desperate to replace your current daily driver. Between taking photos, making multiple listings, and responding to every tire kicker under the sun, a private sale can often be more of a hassle than it's worth. In contrast, a dealership sale can often be completed in a single visit, putting cash in your pocket and helping to finance your search for a suitable replacement. If you find yourself in a tight spot, the speed and ease of the dealership experience is pretty tough to beat. Price If you want to get the best price for your used vehicle, a dealership might be the more profitable option. While there’s a widely held belief that a private sale will yield a better return, that’s not necessarily the case, especially when it comes to newer, low-mileage vehicles. While guidelines vary by location and current market conditions, any vehicle that’s less than five years old and has fewer than 50,000 miles on the odometer could make a good candidate for a dealership sale. Used car prices have cooled following an all-time high in 2022, but remain historically high relative to pre-pandemic levels. Then there’s the professional touch. The experienced sales team at your local auto dealership knows its way around the block when it comes to buying a used vehicle and can walk you through every step of the process. From calculating the correct taxes and checking the title to completing the bill of sale, release of liability, and other pertinent paperwork, you won’t have to worry about running afoul of sales-related rules and regulations when you work with a dealership. Safety While we all try to put our trust in our fellow man, there are always going to be some shifty characters who are looking to take advantage of others wherever they can. If a vehicle experiences a malfunction or an accident soon after the sale, the buyer might seek compensation or try to shift liability to the seller. This is easily avoided at a dealership, where pre-owned vehicles undergo an exhaustive inspection and repair process that ensures only the safest, most reliable models reach the sales floor. Speaking of safety, there’s always going to be some risks associated with selling to a random stranger you found on the internet. This can be especially nerve-wracking if the sale was conducted through a social media site, which can allow buyers to access personal information, including your location, employer, friends, and relatives. You avoid this risk when selling to a dealership. Preparation Is Key The process of selling your used vehicle starts well before you make a listing or hit your local dealership. From finding the right paperwork to giving your vehicle a deep clean and researching a fair sale price, let’s walk through the basics and address any roadblocks a seller might encounter. Gather Paperwork The first step in the pre-sale process is gathering the necessary documentation to prove you actually own your vehicle. A vehicle’s title is the most important of these documents, though additional paperwork may be required under state law. While every seller is required to disclose the odometer’s status under the federal Truth in Mileage Act, some jurisdictions may also require emissions paperwork, a report of sale, and other documentation. If you’re unsure of the relevant laws in your area, a quick visit to your local DMV’s website is sure to turn up a comprehensive list. If you want to ensure you’re getting the best price for your used vehicle, consider including additional documents such as the owner’s manual, service records, and a vehicle history report. Research the Value Next, it’s time to determine the fair market value for your pre-owned vehicle. There are plenty of well-known websites that allow drivers to properly price their vehicles, with Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds among the more popular options. There’s no such thing as too much information when it comes to leveraging these resources. The more data you can plug into a trade-in website, the more accurate the price will be. From mileage and condition to color, trim, optional equipment packages, and accessories, there are countless factors that can impact a model’s market value. These apps will typically return a wealth of information, including separate prices for private sales and trade-ins. Drivers can also gauge value based on the vehicle’s condition, with sites like Kelley Blue Book providing specific data for vehicles in Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent condition. These pricing websites ensure you won’t leave any money on the table when it's time to part with your ride. However, while some of these websites will also offer to buy your vehicle, they tend to offer substantially less than fair market value. Get It Showroom Ready Finally, it’s time to prepare your vehicle for sale. A thorough cleaning can significantly up a car’s curb appeal, allowing owners to enjoy a better return on their investment. A quick car wash represents the bare minimum, but if you really want to walk away from the sale with a hefty check, the interior shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought. A little elbow grease can make all the difference on the day of sale, so lug out the vacuum cleaner and buy some specialized automotive cleaning products that’ll give the dashboard, upholstery, and interior trim that showroom shine. You’ll also want to remove any personal items that might be lodged in the cabin, as well as any bumper stickers or decorations. Once you’ve got your vehicle in tip-top condition, it’s time to take clear, high-quality photos from multiple angles that showcase your vehicle’s best side. A short video can also work wonders, dispelling any concerns about noisy engines, squeaky brakes, and other malfunctions that might affect the sale price. No one expects world-class photography, but it’s hard to underestimate the importance of good lighting for achieving the best results. Experience The Dealership Difference Selling your vehicle can be intimidating, but a little preparation can make a big difference in ensuring a fair, quick, and lucrative experience. From researching current prices and gathering important documents to snapping photos and cleaning the interior, there are lots of easy ways to get the most out of your automotive investment. Trust is key when it comes to making any big-ticket purchase, and that’s where LaFontaine Buick GMC Ann Arbor shines. Whether you’re looking to sell your current ride or finance your next vehicle, we’ll work out an equitable deal that’ll leave both parties feeling safe and satisfied.
