Head to head

Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)

A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the GMC Yukon SLT ($51,999) faces the Toyota 4Runner TRD OFFROAD ($41,894); the most common trims on the market are the DENALI (45.2% of GMC Yukon listings) and the SR5 (39.5% of Toyota 4Runner listings); at the top of the market, the AT4 ULTIMATE ($93,063) faces the TRD OFF-ROAD PREMIUM ($63,446). Share = portion of the model's trim-labeled used listings (a supply-side popularity signal: what the market actually stocks and sells most). “Cheapest”/“Priciest” mark the ends of the quotable trim range — trim ladders don't map one-to-one across brands, so this is not a factory base-model claim.
