If you're looking for an incredible SUV with all the hallmarks of GMC quality, the GMC Acadia and Terrain should be at the top of your list. Each offers a sleek exterior style, futuristic interior design, and state-of-the-art performance with excellent safety features. Given their similarities, choosing between them can be difficult, so we've highlighted a few aspects worth considering in this article. Introducing the Acadia The Acadia is a crossover seven-seater SUV. It offers a 2.6-liter or 3.6-liter engine, a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive (AWD) system in the All-Terrain package, and redesigned lighting. The current model’s fuel economy has increased substantially compared with past designs to 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. In 2020, it received a face-lift with new exterior styling, a new infotainment system that now includes Apple Car Play and Android Auto smartphone integration, and alloy wheels. Introducing the 2022 Terrain Like the Acadia, the GMC Terrain was first produced in April 2009. The second generation GMC Terrain, released in 2018, offers three trims with different engine choices, daytime running headlights, and a 7-inch touch screen. A luxury edition is available, known as the GMC Terrain Denali. A refreshed version was made available in 2022. There are two engine sizes available at 1.5 liters and 2.0 liters, with a top fuel economy of 27 mpg with the smaller 1.5-liter engine. A natural gas version of the GMC Terrain offers gasoline or natural gas options. You can retrofit the car to a natural gas version, reducing your running costs. The Acadia Versus the Terrain on Performance The Acadia and the Terrain provide high-powered performance, offering AWD and front-wheel drive (FWD) options. Both have a nine-speed automatic transmission and offer the StabiliTrak electronic stability control as standard. You will experience a high level of performance from both models. More engine options are available with the Acadia, with greater power and towing capacity. With its 3.6-liter V-6 engine, the Acadia issues 310 hp, with 271 pounds per square foot of torque. However, if you don't need this much power, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder version offers 193 hp and 188 lb-foot of torque, and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder model provides 230 hp and a torque of 258 lb-ft. The Terrain offers a choice of two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque or a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 252 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Despite these differences in engine size, both offer you a powerful vehicle with comparable acceleration rates. Notably, the smaller Terrain 1.5-liter engine has usually outperformed the Acadia in fuel economy since these SUVs were first produced, so if you're looking at a preowned model or an early edition, fuel efficiency is a concern, go for the Terrain. If you're considering the most recent models, however, the Terrain now manages 28 mpg on the highway, and the Arcadia is close at 27 mpg. Therefore, the Terrain is generally a better option for lower running costs, although these differences are becoming more marginal. The Terrain is fully capable of off-road activities aided through the capability offered by its Traction Select system. The Acadia is better suited to off-roading, given its advanced all-terrain tires. Whereas the Terrain can tow 3,500 lbs, the Acadia raises this to 4,000 lbs, making it slightly better when more power and varied usage are needed. The Acadia Versus the Terrain on Design The first noticeable difference between the two vehicles is their size and shape. The Terrain is a compact SUV, the Acadia is a more mid-sized model. The Acadia has three rows of seats, which can comfortably seat six or seven people. There are 79 cubic feet of cargo space in the Acadia if you only use two rows of seats. In contrast, the Terrain is a two-row SUV, comfortably seating five, and holds 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space. The Terrain has 29.8 feet of space behind the second row, with the Acadia offering 41.7 cubic feet. However, if you need to use the second row of seats, there are only 12.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row of the Acadia if all three rows are up. These differences suggest that the Acadia is a better choice if you either need to transport many people or need a lot of cargo space. Both models offer the same level of legroom at a surprisingly roomy 39.7 inches. For the Acadia, the legroom in the third row falls to 31.1 inches, so this would be good for kids but less suitable for taller passengers. The Arcadia Versus the Terrain on Safety Both the Terrain and the Acadia offer advanced safety features. The GMC Pro Safety suite is available in both models, with the Acadia offering the additional GMC Pro Safety Plus option. This option includes rear park assist, which comes optional with the Terrain. Both models have a lane-keep assist feature, warning the driver when the lane is being departed, automatic emergency braking, following distance indicator, and forward collision alert. Both models provide good safety features, with the 2020 GMC Terrain receiving a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Conclusion To the Acadia and the Terrain Comparison Which of these vehicles is preferred depends ultimately on your situation. Bigger families can use the third row for smaller kids, so the Acadia makes sense if this is a consideration. For those who want to make the best use of fuel economy in these turbulent times, the Terrain would be a better choice. However, if off-roading is your thing or you spend much time in the countryside, the Acadia performs slightly better in these conditions. Comparing similar models available at Meadowland GMC, the cost of the most recent 2023 Acadia is $46,205, whereas the most recent Terrain is available for $42,345. The best way to choose is to come and look at these two models side-by-side and take them through their paces. At Meadowland GMC in Carmel, New York, there is a wide range of Acadia and Terrain vehicles available, so why not come by and check them out?

It's getting harder to haggle with dealers to get the price tag of a vehicle you've been eyeing down to something in your price range. Luckily, you can sometimes come across deals that can get you a discount on the vehicle you want. The GM Supplier Discount program can save qualifying buyers a lot of money. Let's find out the GM Supplier Discount, who can use it, and how the program works. GM OWNERS SEARCH NEW INVENTORY What Is the GM Supplier Discount? Through the GM Supplier Discount, qualified participants can purchase or lease brand-new vehicles from dealerships offering a discount program for less than the sticker price. Participants must be from the United States. It’s important to read through the terms and conditions of the program to fully understand what you agree to by taking advantage of the discount. Using the GM Supplier Discount, you can save quite a bit off the MSRP of the vehicle you want to drive. It's a deal worth pursuing if you qualify. Of course, some restrictions come with the program that we'll discuss later. But if you want to save more on a vehicle purchase, the GM Supplier Discount could be for you. Do I Qualify for the GM Supplier Discount? The GM Supplier Discount is available to eligible participants, which GM defines as: Active employees of eligible GM supplier companies residing in the United States. Active employees of eligible GM fleet and commercial companies residing in the United States. Any salaried employee working full- or part-time in an eligible GM company can use the discount program to get a better deal on a new Chevrolet, GMC, or other outstanding GM vehicle. GM excludes contract employees from participating in the program, however. GM does allow you to share your discount with one friend or family member each time you purchase a vehicle using the program. Remember that you only have one year from the date of your purchase to pass on your GM Supplier Discount, so help someone else take advantage of the extra savings sooner rather than later. They'll appreciate it. How Is the GM Supplier Discount Calculated? Because the GM Supplier Discount is meant to make it easier for you, the consumer, to purchase a vehicle at a great price, it's easy to understand.

You can usually combine the discount with other offers, so check with the dealer to find out whether any other savings apply to your purchase. You may leave the deal with more left in your bank account than anticipated. Whether leasing or buying, you can use the GM Supplier Discount once every six months.

GMC produces vehicles with some of the most advanced technologies. As a result, your GMC truck or SUV offers exceptional driving dynamics and outstanding safety features. Every year, GMC improves these technologies and adds new ones to the mix. However, all these changes can be challenging for shoppers to keep on top of. Therefore, we had our GMC technology and safety experts explain the latest driving features, how they work, and their benefits. GMC Pro Safety Driver-Assist Package Meadowland GMC understands drivers' concerns regarding safety features when purchasing a new SUV or truck. The GMC Pro Safety system offers a suite of driver-assist features in one convenient package. You can find this suite available on 2021 and newer GMC models, such as the GMC Terrain. These driver-assist features are explored below. Forward Collision Alert This system uses a combination of cameras and radar to scan the road for possible obstacles. The Forward Collision Alert (FCA) system alerts you when it detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle, so you have time to act. The FCA system also provides tailgating alerts if it detects you are too close to the car ahead. Automatic Emergency Braking The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system works with the FCA. The AEB system works at speeds under 50 mph and activates when you respond too slowly to an FCA. Sensors calculate your speed and distance from the vehicle in front and determine whether to apply emergency brake support. Even when braking hard, the AEB can provide additional hard braking to help mitigate or avoid a possible collision. Lane Keep Assist With Lane Departure Warning These technologies employ sensors that track your GMC when traveling within marked lanes. The sensors detect unintentional drifts and provide a gentle steering correction to alert you. If necessary, you can receive additional alerts to help you steer safely back to your lane. These systems don't activate when using your turn signal. Following Distance Indicator Your Following Distance Indicator calculates your gap to the vehicle ahead in seconds, allowing you to maintain a safe distance. In addition, this system feeds data to your FCA to provide you with tailgating alerts. Front Pedestrian Braking Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB) uses similar technology to the FCA to scan for pedestrian traffic. The FPB works at speeds below 50 mph in the daytime, though it has limited performance at night and in low-visibility conditions. The FPB system sends an alert when it detects a pedestrian in your vehicle's path. Failure to react to the alert activates emergency braking to avoid or lessen the severity of an impact. IntelliBeam Headlights IntelliBeam automatically toggles your high/low beams when it detects an oncoming vehicle and when you approach a car from behind. GMC Pro Safety Plus Driver-Assist Package You'll find this package on most GMC SUVs, such as the GMC Yukon. This package comes with all the systems listed above, plus the following: Lane Change Alert With Side Blind Zone Alert These systems use sensors to monitor your side blind zones to give you eyes where you usually can't see. They then alert you with visual cues when a vehicle quickly approaches or occupies your blind spots, so you change lanes with confidence. Rear Cross Traffic Alert When backing up, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system scans either side of your GMC and sends an alert when it detects approaching traffic from either side, so you can back up confidently in busy parking lots. Rear Park Assist The Rear Park Assist system provides distance alerts to detected objects when driving in reverse. The alerts increase as you get closer to the object in your path, helping you avoid a potential collision. GMC Camera Systems Modern technology allows the creative use of cameras in vehicles to provide better views around your truck or SUV. Many of these camera views come standard, and some come with option packages. High-Definition Rear Vision Camera This camera projects a live HD video feed directly behind your vehicle to your center stack display and includes dynamic grid lines to help with direction and distance to objects in your path. The system works at low speeds when in reverse. High-Definition Surround Vision GMC's High-Definition Surround Vision system uses multiple cameras to render a three-dimensional overhead view surrounding your vehicle. This camera system can help you navigate tight parking spaces or challenging off-road obstacles. Hitch Guidance With Hitch View Anyone who tows a trailer will tell you backing up presents one of the most significant challenges, particularly when hitching up. You no longer need a spotter to direct your GMC Sierra 1500 to your trailer if you have Hitch Guidance with Hitch View. This camera system provides video to your center display screen, with dynamic grid lines to help you line up your hitch. Activate the Hitch View to view a close-up video for your final approach. Once you start driving, you can activate the system to provide a view of your trailer. This view can help tow larger loads with your Sierra 2500 pickup. Rear Camera Mirror This system turns your mirror into a video screen using cameras facing behind you to project a more expansive angle view to your rearview mirror. You can toggle back and forth between the camera and the traditional mirror with the touch of a button. Rear Seat Reminder Rear Seat Reminder comes standard on most GMC vehicles. The system activates when a rear door opens and closes within 10 minutes of your car starting. Then, when you finish your trip and shut off your vehicle, the system alerts you, reminding you to check the rear seat. You'll never forget anything in the back seat again. Teen Driver Technology You can help your teen driver learn safe driving habits with this available technology. The system allows you to set speed alerts, speed limits, and audio levels. Your GMC driver-assist systems default to On when you activate Teen Driver, and the vehicle won't start until all passengers fasten their seatbelts. Current GMC technology offers an elevated driving experience like never before. We invite you to shop our inventory online if you’re interested in upgrading your commute with a new GMC equipped with this technology. Or, if you prefer a personal demonstration, you can visit our Carmel dealership on Route 6 at any time. Photo Credits: 2019 Sierra Razorback Stainless by Truck Hardware is licensed with CC BY 2.0

When you're in the market for a new pickup truck, towing capacity is among the essential aspects to consider, if not the most important, whether you're looking for a work truck to haul equipment from job site to job site or to pull a camper, boat, ATV, or other watercraft for a weekend adventure, or, better yet, both, here's what to expect for the maximum towing capacities of the GMC Sierra 1500 and 2500 models. VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN SHOP GMC SIERRA HD INVENTORY CALL US TODAY! 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Towing Capacities While other factors also affect the maximum towing capacity, the engine is the most crucial consideration. Based on the engine you opt for, the following are the various maximum towing capacities for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500: 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V-6: This is the base engine for the 1500 and features a maximum towing capacity of 7,900 pounds. 2.7-liter turbo four-cylinder: A smaller but powerful engine upgrades the maximum towing capacity to 9,200 pounds. 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 AFM: Probably the engine most associated with the 1500, this V-8 engine can tow up to 9,900 pounds. 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 DFM: A variant of the V-8, this engine will up the maximum towing capacity to 11,300 pounds with proper configuration. 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8: The souped-up version of the V-8 gets up to 11,800 pounds when properly equipped. 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel: This torque machine can tow up to 9,300 pounds. 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Towing Capacity If the GMC Sierra 1500 isn't enough for your needs, then check out the GMC Sierra HD 2500. The Sierra HD 2500 builds off the lighter-duty Sierra 1500, giving you the same refined interior that people love worldwide. If you need heavy-duty towing and payload capacities, upgrading from a Sierra 1500 to a GMC Sierra HD 2500 is advisable. You can customize your GMC Sierra HD to suit your needs. Both gas and diesel options are available. The gas engine is a 6.6-liter V-8 engine with 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque.

Max conventional hitch: 18,500 pounds. Max fifth wheel hitch: 18,500 pounds. Max gooseneck hitch: 18,500 pounds. Max payload: 3,597 pounds. 6.6-Liter V-8 Gas Engine Towing and Payload Max GCWR: 24,400 pounds. Max conventional hitch: 14,500 pounds. Max fifth wheel hitch: 16,620 pounds. Max gooseneck hitch: 16,620 pounds. Max payload: 3,862 pounds What is Towing Capacity? Simply put, maximum towing capacity is the maximum weight your vehicle can pull safely and effectively. It changes based on the configuration, the weight the vehicle is already hauling, the distribution of the load, and how you control the load. The manufacturer will list a maximum towing capacity, which is their best estimate based on their testing but doesn't reflect all situations. The actual towing capacity requires calculating a variety of factors. The towing capacity assumes a driver and no other passengers or cargo in the bed. That's not practical in real life, as you'll most likely have passengers and cargo in the pickup bed, affecting the maximum towing capacity. To calculate the maximum towing capacity accurately, you must know various factors. The first thing to know is the full gross combined vehicle weight rating (GCVWR), which is the weight of the trailer and vehicle or cargo you plan to tow along with other cargo and passengers you plan to carry. Next, you'll need to consider the vehicle's curb weight, including gas at full and all other fluids the vehicle requires. You'll determine the vehicle's towing capacity by subtracting the curb weight from the GCVWR. Manufacturers stress that exceeding the maximum towing capacity is unadvisable, but, in reality, it's even better to stay no more than 90% of the maximum towing capacity for safety reasons. General Towing Considerations You should also know some general towing considerations before discussing towing capacity. First, you need to consider new driving dynamics. Towing involves longer braking distances to slow down and stop, reduced acceleration, and more room to turn. Also, it would be best if you considered the trajectory of your trailer. Most towing issues occur when you back up your trailer because you must reverse your steering to pilot a trailer — turning the wheel left moves the trailer right, and vice versa. Make sure you practice this in a safe area to get it down. Towing a trailer puts a significant amount of pressure on your truck. Opting for a trailer package will help immensely with stouter suspension and improved cooling, among other additions. The towing package on the AT4 trim will give you the best towing experience available. In addition, you'll want to consider the tongue weight, which measures the force applied directly to the tow hitch. If the tongue weight is too light, you may introduce trailer sway, which can be dangerous. If the tongue weight is too high, it'll affect steering and braking. To tow safely, the tongue weight should check in at about 10% to 15% of your gross trailer weight. No matter the circumstance, you should never exceed the GMC Sierra's maximum towing capacity, as doing so can be very dangerous. Your owner's manual will list the maximum towing capacity for your vehicle.

You also get forward collision mitigation to warn you of an impending frontal collision, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assist to help you stay in the correct lane. The GMC Terrain SLT Moving up to the SLT trim level adds roof-mounted side rails and a hands-free power programmable liftgate to your Terrain. You also get 18-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels, fog lights, and heated power mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators.

Additional safety and driver-assistance features on the Denali trim include a head-up display to keep your eyes and attention on the road. You also get a blind-spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert to tell you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during lane changes or when you have your Terrain in reverse. The front and rear parking sensors help alert you to obstacles you may not see behind or in front of your Terrain. The safety alert seat vibration will warn you when a safety warning is triggered.

GMC and Ford are two brands well known to truck enthusiasts and the population in general. While GMC and Ford manufacture trucks of all sizes, the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Ford F-150 remain the most popular and highly regarded in their respective lineups. more GMC Sierra 1500 Vs. F-150 Silver Sierra by Truck Hardware is licensed with CC BY 2.0 Both of these trucks have a new version for the 2022 model year. The devotion to a particular truck manufacturer borders on religion for many people. Some folks are Ford guys, and others are GMC guys, and no matter what, they'll stay loyal to that brand. However, maybe you don't have a brand. You just want to purchase a better truck. You have narrowed it down to or included the GMC Sierra 1500 and Ford F-150 in your research for the best truck and wonder how they compare. The Ford F-150 and the GMC Sierra 1500 are giants within the truck industry. Each has been around for a long time, and both are successful truck brands, so comparing the two just makes sense. Here are the top features when it comes down to comparing the GMC Sierra versus the F-150. GMC Sierra Performance One of the most important aspects is performance regardless of which vehicle class you want to purchase. Looks also matter; you want something that looks great and maybe even turns a few heads. But without performance, the aesthetics are irrelevant. That's especially true when it comes to trucks. Let's start with the engines available in the base model of each truck. The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 features a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine as its base engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination puts out 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. In addition, if you're looking for a little more power, the GMC Sierra 1500 also offers two V-8 options. First up is the well-known 5.3-liter V-8 engine making 355 horsepower and 382 pound-feet of torque. The other is a 6.2-liter V-8 engine garnering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. A diesel engine is also available in the form of a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six-cylinder diesel engine. The turbo diesel produces 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque and a towing capacity of 13,200 pounds. The three optional engines are all paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. With the various engine choices, you'll easily find one that suits your needs. Ford F-150 Performance The Ford F-150 typically has a myriad of engine choices, and this year is no different. The base engine is a 3.3-liter naturally-aspired V-6 that will make 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Next, Ford offers the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 twin-turbocharged engine that gets 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, as are all the following options. The next engine is the popular 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V-8 which delivers 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. A 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V-6 engine is up next, and it makes 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, with a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds. The second version of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter is the PowerBoost full hybrid V-6 putting out 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. The final engine is the third twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter engine, the High-Output EcoBoost generating 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. With the long list of choices for both trucks, it's difficult to determine the best; however, when comparing the base models, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 gets the edge over the base 2022 Ford F-150. Checking Out the Interior Any company that has found success and wants to remain successful must listen to its customers' complaints. GMC certainly did, making changes from the 2021 model based on customer feedback. One criticism of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 was that the interior felt cheap. The 2022 iteration changes all that giving a truly luxurious feel to the latest Sierra 1500. On top of that, all the interior features are very intuitive and user-friendly. Beginning with the SLE trim, there's a massive 13.4-inch color touch screen as well as a 12.3-inch instrument cluster. If you opt for a model with bucket seats, you'll find an Electronic Precision Shift controller. Additional technological features include the trailering-capable super cruise system, standard in the upper trims. The 2022 Ford F-150 is also generating a buzz like the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 but for a different reason. There wasn't the same backlash against the previous iteration as there was with the GMC Sierra. Instead, people were generally happy with the interior of the F-150, so Ford left it alone and only did some minor updates. Notable features of the F-150 include smart device integration, Wi-Fi hot spot, auxiliary cords, and optional satellite radio. Again, not much has changed with Ford sticking by the if it isn't broke, don't fix it mentality. Which Truck Should You Buy? These are both excellent trucks. Choosing either would be a great choice that would surely make you happy. If you're a person who likes to save money and buy the base model with no additional packages, then the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 gets the edge. For 2022, GMC went out of its way to appease its customer base by responding to the complaints of a lackluster interior in the 2021 model by completely overhauling the interior and adding much higher quality materials giving it a truly luxurious feel.

We're located at 1952 Route 6 in Carmel, New York, with sales hours from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, closing at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Let's look at how the Tahoe and the Yukon compare. Trims There are two different GMC Yukon options for you to choose from: the Yukon and the Yukon XL. Each has three trim options: the SLE, SLT, and Denali. The Yukon and XL have similar features, with the main difference being the size of the vehicle.

You'll also find standard features on the SLT model, like assist steps, LED lights, and heated outside mirrors, with upgrade options like roof rack cross rails. The Chevy Tahoe's sturdy exterior shows that it's sturdy and built for safety and power. The base trim comes with 18-inch wheels and all-season tires that allow it to drive through the changing conditions of Carmel. It also comes standard with a chrome roof rack luggage carrier.

Cargo, Towing, and Payload The Chevy Tahoe has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 7,400 lbs and can trailer between 7,900 and 8,400 lbs. The GMC Yukon has the same payload with a max trailer weight of 7,900. Both offer 122.9-cubic feet in storage with the second and third rows of seats folded down, providing plenty of storage space for equipment or luggage for long trips.

They both have three rows of seating that can fit seven people comfortably, which is perfect for when you're on a road trip with friends or picking the kids up from school.

The Tahoe comes standard with a six-speaker audio system, and the Yukon has a nine-speaker Bose system. You'll also find several power outlets and USB connections to help you stay connected on long drives or when off-roading.

With higher trims like the High Country and the Denali, you might see a lower fuel economy of 14 mpg when driving in the cities.

The Yukon has more of a luxury appearance, while the Tahoe looks more like a functional truck.

GMC Hummer EVs The GMC Hummer is making a grand comeback in the industry with two new electric vehicles: the Hummer EV pickup and the Hummer EV SUV. Both vehicles carry stellar off-road prowess. GMC labels the EV pickup as a super truck. This is because of the truck's features and specifications, such as excellent towing capacity, vast power, and long driving breadth. The EV pickup also has standard equipment contrived to make it extremely agile and robust on Carmel terrains. The GMC Hummer EV SUV will be the second release from the Hummer EV lineup and will launch in 2023 as a 2024 model. This model will be the SUV version of the Pickup but with a few changes. It will be smaller than the Pickup because of a 20-inch difference in height and a shorter wheelbase. From roomy interiors and a four-wheel steering CrabWalk mode to extreme rock climbing abilities, the Hummer EVs are undoubtedly back to dethrone their rivals as the undisputed off-road kings. Engine and Performance The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a three-electric motor powertrain that generates 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft torque, which provides excellent towing capacity.

Other exterior features include an animated lighting system, an infinity roof that has modular, transparent sky panels, and a MultiPro tailgate. Exterior features for the Hummer EV SUV include a power swing gate with a rear-mounted spare tire, an infinity roof with modular, transparent sky panels, power front trunk storage, the dominating height of 77.8 inches, and an impressive lighting system.

Other interior details include a 14-speaker Bose audio system featuring Centerpoint, a 12.3-inch color driver information center display, and a 13.4-inch color touchscreen infotainment display.

Whether you're planning a long road trip this summer, or you're looking for a great vehicle to drive your kids to and from the local pool, there are several great GMC vehicles to choose from that suit a variety of summer lifestyles. As one of the biggest automobile brands in the country, GMC continues to offer vehicles with powerful engines, excellent features, and plenty of versatility. In this guide, we'll take a closer look at a few of the best GMC vehicles to consider for the coming summer months. 2022 GMC Canyon The 2022 Canyon is an excellent option if you're looking for a truck that doesn't have the full muscle and power of a heavy-duty pickup but can still haul camping gear, fishing equipment, and summer picnic items long distances. Not only is the Canyon perfect for a weekend getaway, but it's also useful for light-duty work like transporting new plants for your summer garden. You can also choose from two different engine options, depending on your needs. A 3.6-liter V-6 engine comes standard and churns out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. On higher trims, there's also an available 2.8-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that generates 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It adds towing capabilities that enable the truck to tow up to 7,000 pounds, plenty to haul smaller boats, camping gear, jet skis, and various other items for your next summer vacation. The Canyon's spacious front seat ensures driver comfort, while a deep center cargo bin and many storage areas make it easy to tuck away snacks for your trip. For larger items, the crew cab also boasts a huge plastic bin underneath the rear seat. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both come standard, and higher trims also add a mobile hotspot and an 8-inch touch screen, perfect for keeping passengers entertained on long journeys. The AT4 Off-Road Package also adds off-roading capabilities if you want to go off the beaten path this summer. It includes a suspension leveling kit. 2022 GMC Terrain With an ultra-roomy interior and a suite of advanced technology, the 2022 Terrain is one of the best compact crossovers for long road trips and other summer adventures. Its sleek, modern look makes it stand out on the road, and higher trims add plenty of sophisticated features to both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. With its impressive cargo capacity, four adults can fit comfortably without feeling squished, and with standard LED headlights and taillamps, it's sure to be visible at night. The Terrain comes standard with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission and your choice of either front- or all-wheel drive. The engine ensures driver comfort by providing a smooth, comfortable ride that's excellent for busy highways and windier country roads. An agile steering system also makes navigating sudden turns a breeze. The inside of the Terrain is also perfect for fitting large suitcases, with its competitive cargo capacity and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, in addition to an available fold-flat front seat. Despite its impressive cargo capacity, it's the infotainment features where the Terrain really shines. The SUV offers the latest modern car technology, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are all standard. A convenient in-dash navigation system is also standard on the top trim and available on all other trims, perfect for navigating even the most remote locations. 2022 GMC Acadia The 2022 Acadia makes another excellent SUV for summer road trips, with a comfortable, sleek interior, an impressive 79 cubic feet of cargo space available, and a variety of storage space and infotainment features. It's the perfect SUV for larger families, with seating options for up to six or seven people. It also contains various advanced safety features to help increase your awareness behind the wheel, now standard across all trims. The Acadia's base engine is a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Its optional engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 that generates 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Either engine comes standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is also optional if you're planning to drive your SUV through more unpredictable terrain. With three rows of seats and second and third-row seats that easily fold back, the Acadia offers plenty of flexibility, no matter what your plans might be. The Elevation Edition also adds black rood rails, perfect for securing bikes or goods for your next trip. A multitude of technology ensures the whole family can enjoy the ride, including a large, responsive touch screen and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Acadia also contains a myriad of USB ports to charge devices. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 If you're looking for a great summer vehicle that can take you off the beaten path, look no further than the 2022 Sierra 1500.
