For the first time ever, the Yukon swapped its truck-style solid rear axle for independent rear suspension, a genuine break from the live-axle setup every prior generation used.
The fourth Yukon no longer shared a single piece of sheet metal or lighting with GM's pickups, and its hood and liftgate went aluminum.
The 2008 two-mode hybrid paired a 6.0 V8 with two electric motors and was named Green Car of the Year, a decision BBC's Top Gear later lampooned.
