Yukon has been dealing with tough competition in North America, especially going against the powerful Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedition, and Nissan Armada (or known as Patrol). It has to go against other Chevy’s siblings, such as Tahoe and Suburban.

Yukon uses body on frame construction known as this T1 platform, sharing it with the Expedition. The latter has been made based on F-150 model, which is similar to the Sierra and Silverado with the independent rear suspension.

Changes in Dimension

Toyota LandCruiser doesn’t offer limited space anymore. It means that it’s expanding its space for more than 7 passengers. In the meanwhile, Lexus LX is able to accommodate 4 to 7 people in its cabin.
