Engine: 6.0L Vortec LQ4 V8Transmission: 4-speed electronically controlled automaticDrivetrain: AWD/4WDWheelbase: about 130 inchesAssembly: Janesville, WisconsinGVWR: roughly 7,000–7,200 lb rangeThe 6.0L LQ4 is the important part here. It’s the iron-block, naturally aspirated 6.0 used in the heavy-duty GM SUVs and trucks. It makes roughly 335 hp and 365 lb-ft in this generation.

A period GM build-code listing for a 2005 Yukon XL Denali shows essentially this same equipment combination, including the 6.0 LQ4, 3.73 gearing, G69/Z55 suspension, heavy-duty towing equipment, Bose, XM, sunroof, navigation/DVD options, heated seats and 20-inch wheels.
The particularly desirable stuff
1. 6.0 LQ4This is one of the reasons I’d be interested in this particular Yukon. The LQ4 is a 6.0-liter iron-block LS-family V8, rather than the more common 5.3. It’s a very robust engine and doesn’t have the later AFM/DOD system that became a concern on many newer GM V8s.
2. 3.73 gearing + heavy-duty coolingThe combination of GT4 + KNP + K04 + Z82 makes this substantially more tow-oriented than an ordinary Yukon XL. The 3.73 axle and transmission cooler are particularly useful when towing.

3. G69 + Z55This is a big deal. It has automatic load-leveling/air-assisted rear suspension and Autoride, so the vehicle was designed to maintain ride height under load while retaining a relatively sophisticated ride.
