Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2020 GMC Yukon XL? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Yukon XL stranded. Your GMC Yukon XL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
