  In 1992, GMC replaced the Jimmy with a full-sized sporty utility vehicle --- the Yukon. Similar to the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Yukon increased fuel efficiency by incorporating an Active Fuel Management System. The SL, SLE and SLT trim models were all available in 1996 and 1997. In 1997 a two-door, four-wheel drive version of each trim had different standard and optional features.
