Yukon classification???
Another quickie.. OH's boss has got us a Yukon to drive. I cant seem to find it under cars, trucks, vans etc., to get a quote for insurance. Anyone got any idea where it would be living in terms of classification. There are various GMC vehicles but not a Yukon. Does it even exist??? or am I spelling it wrong?

We're going to SK and its kind of remote so I guess they think we need one??? I told them I needed a safe 7 seater but I didn't mean a military tank! Ah well, another lesson hard learnt!.. I still can't find it under any classification for insurance, maybe they reckon you dont need insurance, just DRIVE OVER everyone!

Re: Yukon classification???
GMC Yukon = Chevy Tahoe
Its there in the insurance quick quote I just pulled up with all the other GMCs....
Yup, its going to cost a fortune to run. Unless you have a boat or horsebox to tow, and 3+kids, AND a big dog to schlep around all the time I dont see the point myself.

ETA: it's there under "sport utility vehicle" on the basic plate calculator in Former Lancastrian's link.

Please please please dont let her ask what a Hummer is.

The man behind me commutes two hours each way in a Yukon. It's hardly worth him going to work.

I was more concerned about you asking what a Hummer is that is not a type of vehicle
