Does the Yukon Denali Have a Power Folding Third Row?
The GMC Yukon Denali offers premium luxury and ultimate cargo versatility. Learn how GMC power folding seats work and how to instantly transition from a 7-passenger family hauler to a massive cargo carrier with the push of a button.
- Standard power-folding 60/40 third-row bench.
- Power-release second-row seats for flat cargo loading.
- Effortless push-button controls in the rear cargo area.
Does the Yukon Denali feature a power folding third row?
Yes. The GMC Yukon Denali comes standard with a power-folding 60/40 split third-row bench seat, making it incredibly easy to configure your SUV for passengers or cargo.
When you need extra space for luggage, groceries, or large furniture, you don't have to wrestle with heavy seats or complicated latches. The GMC power folding seats allow you to lower the third row completely flat with the simple push of a button located in the rear cargo area.
Unlike manual seats found in some competitors, the Yukon Denali's power feature works in both directions. You can electronically fold the seats down into the floor, and when you need passenger space again, you can electronically raise them back upright without climbing into the trunk.
Dow Buick GMC Insight: The power-folding feature is standard on the top-tier Denali trim, but it is also available on other Yukon trim levels like the AT4 and SLT when equipped with the right package.
How to fold down Yukon seats
Transforming your Yukon Denali takes only seconds.
Operating the yukon denali third row is designed to be intuitive, especially when your hands are full. The control panel is conveniently located just inside the rear liftgate on the passenger side.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Open the rear liftgate: Ensure your vehicle is in Park. Open the power liftgate using your key fob or the exterior handle.
- Locate the control panel: Look at the interior passenger-side wall of the cargo area. You will see a cluster of buttons marked for the 2nd and 3rd rows.
- Press and hold the 3rd-row buttons: There are two buttons for the third row (left and right sides). Press and hold them down to electronically fold the seats flat.
- Need more space? Use the adjacent buttons to activate the power-release function for the second-row seats, tumbling them forward for maximum cargo volume.
Raising the seats back up
To bring the third-row seats back into the upright passenger position, simply press and hold the "Up" portion of the same buttons in the cargo area.
Note: Make sure the cargo area is clear of obstructions and the seatbelts are out of the way before raising the seats.
Why GMC power folding seats elevate the Yukon Denali
60/40 Split Function
The third row is split 60/40, meaning you can fold down one side to accommodate longer items (like skis or lumber) while still leaving a seat open for a passenger in the third row.
Massive Cargo Volume
With both the second and third rows folded down, the standard Yukon Denali offers up to 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space, while the extended Yukon XL Denali offers an astounding 144.7 cubic feet.
