Win a 2026 GMC Yukon Denali, a Grand Design Serenova Trailer and $50,000 Cash

What you're looking at

This is a matched tow rig, built as a set rather than assembled from whatever was on the lot. The tug is a 2026 GMC Yukon Denali running the 6.2L V8 and air-ride suspension, with executive seating for seven, Bose headrest audio, heated second-row seats, an entertainment package with headrest screens, Super Cruise for hands-free highway miles and the Max Trailering Package — which is the box that actually matters here, because it brings the cooling and hitch hardware you want when there's a trailer behind you. It has been pulled off the showroom aesthetic with a chrome delete and reshod on 22-inch Vossen wheels wrapped in Nitto AT Recon Grappler all-terrains, which is a genuine choice rather than a styling gesture: an all-terrain on a 22 gives up some ride comfort and a little road noise versus the factory street tire, and buys back gravel-road composure at a campsite.

Behind it sits a Grand Design Serenova 160LG. Serenova is a new nameplate for Grand Design and the 160LG is the halo floorplan of the small end — 20 feet and change, sleeping four via a residential queen and a convertible dinette, with a walk-in shower, a full kitchen, a 20k BTU air conditioner, a 60k tankless water heater, a 200Ah battery feeding a 3,000W inverter and MORryde independent suspension underneath. That last item is the tell that this isn't an entry-level trailer; independent suspension on a single-axle travel trailer is a comfort-and-tracking upgrade most builders in this size class don't bother with.

Why it matters

The honest appeal of this prize isn't rarity, it's usability. Nobody is putting a Yukon Denali in a climate-controlled collection, but a new full-size SUV specced to tow, paired with a trailer light enough that it will actually tow it comfortably, is a package a normal person can use the weekend it arrives. The 6.2L and the Max Trailering hardware are matched to a trailer in the low-20-foot range rather than a fifth-wheel that would have the truck working hard, and the 3,000W inverter and big battery mean the trailer is set up to sit somewhere without shore power.

The operator is a 501(c)(3) — A Race Against Blindness, EIN 92-2174042, out of Gilbert, Arizona — funding research into sight-saving treatments for children with Retinitis Pigmentosa and Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. They run these vehicle sweepstakes regularly and publish a winners page with names and states attached: Toni R. (NY) took an F-250 King Ranch plus $40k in August 2026, Jim W. (CA) won a Denali Ultimate, an inTech trailer and $50k in December 2025, and Jeff W. (NE) won a Rossmönster Baja LX plus $100k in July 2026. Worth noting for anyone valuing this: several of those winners took the cash option instead of the vehicles.

The fine print worth knowing

The cash option replaces everything, and it is not $200,000. The rules state the winner "will receive a $50,000 cash award/check, a 2026 GMC Yukon Denali, and a Grand Designs Serenova Travel Trailer," with an ARV of $200,000, and then: "the Winner will also be given the option to accept a $125,000 cash award/check in lieu of the aforementioned Prize." Read that carefully — the $125,000 substitutes for the entire prize, both vehicles and the $50,000 award, not just the metal. Taking cash is $75,000 below the stated ARV. That gap is normal (a sponsor buys the cash option at wholesale, not sticker), but it is the number that decides whether you're playing for a truck or for a check.

Washington is out. Eligibility runs to the USA excluding Washington residents, plus Canada, 18 or the age of majority in your state or province. Anyone who has previously won a Grand Prize in one of this sponsor's sweepstakes is also ineligible.

Taxes are yours. The rules confirm "An IRS Form 1099 will be filed in the name of the Winner for the value of the Prize." On a $200,000 package that is a real five-figure bill in the year you win, and there is no tax allowance bundled in — although the $50,000 cash component effectively softens it, which is presumably the point of including it.

Seven days to respond. The winner must sign and return the administrator's documentation "within seven (7) days of the date of notice." The sponsor also reserves the standard right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

The free route here is unusually good. A mailed entry costs a stamp and is worth fifty entries — five times what the smallest $25 donation tier returns, and it scales to 100–300 entries if postmarked during a bonus window, plus a separate 65-bonus-entry card. Cards must be hand-printed by you, mailed individually, postmarked by October 3, 2026 and received by October 8, 2026; the drawing is October 9. The exact wording and the PO Box are in the operator's Official Rules and reproduced on this page. Paid entries close at 11:59 pm MST on October 4, 2026, and the drawing is run by American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Inc., a third-party administrator named in the rules.
