If you're in the market for a sophisticated, capable, and upscale small SUV, the 2024 GMC Terrain is a great choice. The Terrain is a classy, competent vehicle with bold styling, a punchy turbo engine, a spacious interior, and available all-wheel drive. At Meadowland GMC of Carmel, New York, people often ask, "How much can the GMC Terrain tow?" Read our comprehensive guide to learn more about the Terrain's impressive capabilities. VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN SEARCH NEW TERRAINS GMC Terrain Exterior Overview The 2024 GMC Terrain comes in four trim levels, each with unique styling: SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali. The Terrain trims have a bold model-specific grille design, a sleek aerodynamic profile, and a stylish rear end, giving them a dominant road presence. Distinctive C-shaped front and rear LED signature lighting ensures this elegant small SUV stands out from the crowd day and night. The AT4 can take you off the beaten path. It offers rugged black chrome exterior accents, a steel underbody skid plate, and 17-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels. The luxurious top-of-the-range Denali features chrome accents, 19-inch wheels, and premium suspension with enhanced shock control for a smoother ride on any road surface. 2024 GMC Terrain Towing Capacity When properly equipped with a trailer hitch and electric wiring harness, the GMC Terrain offers a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. That's enough to haul a dual canoe/kayak trailer or a small jet ski or fishing boat trailer for your weekend adventures. Your Terrain's actual towing capability depends on several factors. You need to consider the gross weight of your towing vehicle. The more passengers and cargo you load in your car, the lower the vehicle's towing capacity. Another consideration is the Gross Combined Weight Rating, which is the total weight of the towing vehicle and the trailer, including passengers and cargo. You should never exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum weight limits. You can find your vehicle's weight ratings in your Terrain owners manual. Ask our helpful team at Meadowland GMC in Carmel if you have any questions. You can order a tow hitch and wiring harness when you buy a new Terrain, or you can purchase them later from our parts department, and we'll fit them for you. Generous Passenger and Cargo Space The Terrain's spacious cabin comfortably accommodates up to five people with its 103.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. The passenger dimensions are as follows: Headroom (front/rear): 40 inches/38.5 inches. Legroom (front/rear): 40.9 inches/39.7 inches. Shoulder room (front/rear): 57.2 inches/55.6 inches. Hip room (front/rear): 54.4 inches/51.8 inches. These generous dimensions ensure everyone has enough space for a comfortable journey on short or long trips. With a full complement of passengers, you have 29.6 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seats. Lowering the 60/40-split fold-flat second-row seats gives you an impressive 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space. That's enough for 24 carry-on luggage cases or all your camping gear. The Terrain's front passenger seatback also folds flat, allowing you to carry items up to 8 feet long. You can expand the Terrain's cargo capacity and versatility with genuine GMC accessories. All but the base model feature roof-mounted side rails. With the Hit the Road Package, you get roof rack cross rails and molded assist steps, while the Cargo Package adds a vertical cargo net and a retractable cargo shade. Other available accessories include canoe, kayak, bicycle, ski, and snowboard carriers, roof-mounted cargo boxes, and roof cargo nets. Thrilling Turbo Power A powerful and efficient powertrain enables the GMC Terrain's hauling capability. Under the hood is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. It mates with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The SLE and SLT trims come standard with front-wheel drive, or you can choose the AT4 or Denali trim for a standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. AWD models feature a Traction Select System that lets you switch between front-wheel drive and AWD modes for improved fuel economy or more traction to suit the road conditions. Off-road mode adjusts the stability and traction control for improved driving dynamics and grip when you head out on the trails. The Terrain also comes standard with hill descent control, which uses the anti-lock braking system to help give you a smooth, controlled descent without pressing the brake pedal. The perky engine is extremely economical. With front-wheel drive, the Terrain rewards you with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg for highway driving. AWD reduces the figures slightly to 23 and 28 mpg for city and highway driving, respectively. Safety Features Whether towing a trailer or doing everyday driving, the Terrain has a range of driver-assistance technologies to help keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Every trim comes with GMC Pro Safety, which includes a following distance indicator, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. GMC Pro Safety Plus is standard for the AT4 and Denali trims and available for other trims. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane change alert, side blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic warning, rear park assist, and a safety alert seat that vibrates when a safety alert is activated. The Denali also features front and rear park assist and the option of automatic perpendicular and parallel parking assist. Are You Ready To Test-Drive the GMC Terrain?

With the 2024 GMC HUMMER EV, you can say goodbye to diesel and gasoline fumes. This all-electric vehicle is the most potent and impressive electric pickup truck available. Your new objective will be to keep this massive, 1,000-horsepower truck charged for exciting acceleration and conquering rough terrain that most trucks wouldn't dare to tread. SEARCH INVENTORY VALUE YOUR TRADE USED GMC VEHICLES SEARCH HUMMER INVENTORY We have all the information you need about charging your HUMMER EV, whether it's a quick 30-minute stop at a 350 kW DC fast charger to add 100 miles of range or plugging it into a home wall outlet overnight. We've got the details on charging speeds, locations, levels, and costs to ensure that your HUMMER EV always has enough power to deliver its impressive electric torque whenever you hit the accelerator. Let's get your HUMMER EV fully charged and ready to hit the road. How Long Does It Take the HUMMER EV To Charge? When powering up the 2024 GMC HUMMER EV, you'll need serious juice to charge its 200+ kWh battery. But don't worry; GM has you covered with multiple charging options, whether you need a quick charge before hitting the trails or want to recharge overnight at home. Let's look at the estimated charge time on the HUMMER EV. Level 2 Charging Level 2 charging is the most common and convenient way to charge your HUMMER EV, offering a practical solution for everyday electric driving. According to GM's estimates, Level 2 chargers can provide nearly 16 miles of range for every hour plugged in, which makes it ideal for overnight home charging or topping off your battery during the workday. With the widespread availability of Level 2 charging stations, keeping your HUMMER EV charged and ready for adventure is easier than ever. DC Fast Charging As per GM's estimates, DC fast charging is the quickest way to boost your HUMMER EV's battery life, offering up to nearly 100 miles of range in just about 12 minutes. This rapid charging capability is ideal before long drives when you need a quick charge to ensure you reach your destination without making lengthy stops for recharging. Benefits Both charging methods come with unique benefits that fit the varied needs of HUMMER EV owners. You can conveniently charge your vehicle using Level 2 charging while sleeping, working, shopping, or dining out. DC fast charging offers the fastest recharge times, making it ideal for long travels or when you need a rapid top-up to continue your journey. Both options allow payment flexibility by charging time or kWh hours. The myGMC mobile app's features make it easy to find fast charging stations, helping you stay charged wherever you go. How Much Does It Cost To Charge Your HUMMER EV? Fueling up large pickup trucks could be expensive. But charging up the HUMMER EV's 200+ kWh battery pack is quite affordable compared to constantly paying for gasoline. According to Forbes, fast charging typically averages around $0.43 per kWh. Expect a cost of about $35 for a 30-minute quick charge session. Depending on charger power levels and local commercial rates, you might spend between $100 and $150 for a full charge from near empty. While public charging stations offer convenience and speed, they come at a cost. For a more economical approach, consider the advantages of home charging. Using a Level 2 home charger, you can fully charge your HUMMER EV overnight for far less than gas or commercial fast-charging stations. Depending on your local electricity rates, which typically hover around the national average of $0.13 per kWh, charging your HUMMER EV from empty to full could cost as little as $26. This starkly contrasts with the higher gas fill-up costs and public charging stations, solidifying at-home Level 2 charging as a financially savvy choice. Where Can You Charge Your HUMMER EV? On the go? No problem. GM provides HUMMER EV drivers with access to an expansive network of around 134,000 charge points across the U.S. and Canada, a number that's continuously increasing. So you can conveniently recharge your vehicle in various places, including restaurants, shopping centers, train stations, workplaces, and numerous other spots. Public charging stations offer two primary recharge options: Level 2 and DC fast charging, catering to your range needs and time constraints. Hummer EV Frequently Asked Questions Does the HUMMER EV Infotainment Work While Charging? Yes, the HUMMER EV's infotainment system remains fully operational while charging. It offers an enjoyable, immersive experience to entertain you during your charge sessions. How Many Miles Can the HUMMER EV Charge Last? The HUMMER EV offers an estimated range of over 329 miles on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range electric trucks in the market today. Can You Charge Other Electric Vehicles at GMC's Charging Stations? Yes, most of GM's charging stations are compatible with other electric vehicles, so you can top up your friend's or family member's car while on the road. How Do You Pay for Charging at GMC's Stations? You can use the myGMC mobile app to pay directly from your smartphone for GM-branded electric vehicles. For others, you can conveniently pay with a credit card at most GMC charging stations. Are There Different Charge Times for Other HUMMER EV Models? Yes, different HUMMER EV models may have variations in charge times depending on the battery size and charging capabilities. However, all HUMMER EVs support Level 2 and DC fast charging, ensuring you can access different charging options no matter which model you drive.

The 2024 GMC Acadia has led the class of three-row SUVs for many years, largely due to its spacious interior and premium features. But in 2024, the GMC Acadia gets even bigger and better. GMC will release the all-new 2024 Acadia soon, but until then, we have some behind-the-scenes details about the interior of this stunning SUV. Our team at Meadowland GMC in Carmel, New York, will help you learn everything you need to know about the 2024 GMC Acadia's interior, including its passenger and cargo space, comfort features, and technologies. SEARCH INVENTORY VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN GMC ACADIA INVENTORY image from gmc.com Cargo Space The all-new GMC Acadia grew significantly in its latest redesign. It's now 10.6 inches longer, 4.2 inches wider, and 3.2 inches taller than the previous model year. With this larger body, the Acadia has gained a significant amount of cargo space to carry more luggage, gear, and other items. The 2024 Acadia will have about 80% more cargo space behind the third row and 36% more storage behind the second row, compared to the previous model year. While GMC hasn't released official cargo dimensions yet, Car and Driver estimates this increased capacity will result in about 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 56 cubic feet behind the second row. It's easy to access this cargo space, too, thanks to the standard smart-sense liftgate in the back. In the cargo area, an underfloor storage compartment provides an additional space for useful items, such as a first aid kit. When you need more room for large or bulky items, you can quickly increase the cargo capacity by folding down the rear seats. An available power-folding third-row seat, standard in the top-level Denali trim, makes it a breeze to configure the cabin to your needs. Seating and Passenger Space The cargo area isn't the only interior part that gets more space in the latest generation. The Acadia will now seat up to seven or eight passengers, depending on the seating configuration. That's an increase from previous models' six- to seven-passenger capacity. All passengers will have plenty of space to ride comfortably, whether they're sitting in the front passenger seat or in the third row. For back-seat passengers, available features such as a one-touch folding rear seat helps them get in and out of the SUV quickly. In certain trims, second-row captain's chairs fold flat with a sliding feature, making it easier for passengers to access the third row. For an even more spacious cabin, you can customize your Acadia with an available panoramic sunroof. This sunroof extends across the top of the vehicle, making the cabin feel more open. Plus, on a beautiful New York day, you and your passengers will be able to feel the warm sunshine on your skin. Materials and Aesthetics Inside the 2024 Acadia, premium materials and thoughtful touches give the SUV an elevated appearance. The upholstery and finishes inside the Acadia depend on the trim you choose. In the off-road-capable Acadia AT4, the Forest Storm interior brings the outside in with earthy tones and dark accents. This interior package also features mahogany stitching with chrome-metallic trim. For the ultimate luxury experience, choose the Acadia Denali. This trim comes with high-quality interior materials, including authentic laser-etched wood decor with chrome accents. Leather-appointed upholstery covers the seats, including perforated, heated, and ventilated front seats. If you enjoy the finer things in life, you'll feel right at home in the Acadia Denali. Comfort and Convenience Across the lineup, the new Acadia comes with a wide range of comfort features to take the stress out of your commute or make a long trip more enjoyable. The base-level Elevation trim comes standard with desirable comfort features, including heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with four-way power lumbar support. Do you want to start your car before work on a chilly winter day? You can use the standard remote start feature to heat or cool the cabin to your exact preferences. As you move up in trims, the Acadia adds even more comfort and convenience features to make your drive pleasant. Available ventilated front seats will keep you cool no matter how high the temperatures climb, while your second-row passengers can also stay comfortable with available heated seats. The Denali trim also comes standard with interior ambient lighting and memory settings for the driver's seat and outside mirrors. Entertainment and Technology In 2024, the GMC Acadia not only gets more interior space and premium features, but it also receives updated technologies for a driver-focused experience. The cockpit comes anchored with an enormous 15-inch diagonal premium infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This system, standard in all trims, includes customizable touch-screen displays and Google built-in compatibility for certain apps, including navigation. There's also an available high-contrast display for enhanced clarity. Besides the new touch screen, the GMC Acadia also comes with an 11-inch diagonal driver information center that you can customize to show your preferred settings. There's also an available 8-inch configurable head-up display. The Acadia's new technology extends beyond entertainment to include state-of-the-art driver-assistance features to protect you on the Putnam County roads. The SUV now comes with up to nine available camera views that you can access through the touch-screen display. Standard and available driver-assistance features include forward collision alert, rear cross-traffic braking, blind-zone steering assist, and front pedestrian and bicycle braking. Also new this year, GMC's innovative Super Cruise technology will be available on more Acadia trims, including the Elevation Premium, AT4, and Denali. With this system, the Acadia uses cameras, sensors, and GPS to permit hands-free driving on over 400,000 miles of compatible roads. The 2024 Acadia comes with the latest software version, which includes trailering assist and automatic lane-change capabilities.

Are you considering purchasing a new vehicle? If so, a car's fuel efficiency can decide when determining the right vehicle for your needs. Gas prices constantly change and can become a significant part of your budget if you aren't driving a fuel-efficient car. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to sacrifice quality or versatility to find something fuel-efficient. Keep reading as our Meadowland GMC team in New York highlights the fuel efficiency of the new 2024 GMC Terrain to help you decide if this is the vehicle for you. SHOP NEW INVENTORY VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN USED GMC VEHICLES NEW GMC TERRAIN INVENTORY Image from gmc.com 2024 GMC Terrain Miles Per Gallon The 2024 GMC Terrain has two miles-per-gallon ratings because it offers two powertrain options. While all 2024 GMC Terrain models use the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic transmission, you can get your Terrain with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), which will impact overall fuel efficiency. The 2024 GMC Terrain FWD gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, for a combined rating of 26 mpg. The AWD version is slightly less efficient, coming in at 23 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and a combined rating of 25 mpg. You'll have to decide if the extra versatility that comes from having AWD is worth the slight drop in efficiency based on your driving needs. If you're concerned about Meadowland's harsh winter roads, you might prefer the added protection you'll get from driving an AWD vehicle in the snow. How Does the 2024 GMC Terrain Compare to Other Vehicles? Comparing similar vehicles can put the 2024 GMC Terrain's fuel efficiency into context. Here are the fuel efficiency ratings for other SUVs like the Terrain: 2024 Hyundai Tucson: 25/32 city/highway. 2024 Subaru Forester: 26/33 city/highway. 2024 Kia Sportage: 25/33 city/highway. 2024 Toyota RAV4: 27/35 city/highway. 2024 GMC Terrain Fuel Tank Size Another important factor when thinking about fuel efficiency is the fuel tank size. For the 2024 GMC Terrain, you'll get a 14.9-gallon tank no matter which model you select. Based on the tank size and the expected fuel efficiency ratings, you should be able to drive around 387 miles with the FWD version. The AWD version has a total range of about 390 miles. Since these two estimates are so similar, they likely won't impact your decision. 2024 GMC Terrain Fuel Costs How much you spend on gas each year depends on a few factors. The average cost of gas here in the Meadowland area plays a key role. You should also consider how much driving you do with your 2024 GMC Terrain. If you commute to work daily, you'll spend more on gas than someone who works from home and only drives their Terrain on the weekends. To estimate how much you'll spend annually, consider how many miles you typically drive in a year. First, estimate the miles you drive each month, then multiply by 12. Once you have that number, divide it by the 2024 GMC Terrain's miles-per-gallon rating (about 25 mpg). Finally, multiply that number by the average price of gas. For example, you drive about 1,000 miles per month, or 12,000 miles a year. We'll also put the average gas price in the Carmel area at around $3.50 per gallon. Using these numbers, you'd spend around $1,680 a year on fuel. Of course, your estimates will vary, but this should give you a good idea of what to expect. Use this fuel cost calculator to determine a more accurate estimate for your situation. Does the 2024 GMC Terrain Require Premium Gas? The 2024 GMC Terrain runs on regular fuel. While you can put premium gas in your vehicle if you'd like, you probably won't see much benefit. Premium gas is designed for high-performance engines, so those designed for regular fuel typically don't improve much with premium fuel. Since you can run your GMC Terrain on regular fuel, you can save on fuel costs. Premium gas is typically much more expensive than regular fuel, costing more each time you need to fill the tank. While you may not get the performance boost premium gas provides to vehicles such as sports cars, you'll save a lot more money over the long term. How To Save Fuel in Your 2024 GMC Terrain You can use a few strategies to save fuel while driving your 2024 GMC Terrain. For starters, always follow the speed limit. While you should stay within the speed limit for legal reasons, it's also more fuel efficient. Driving faster typically means applying the brakes harder, which uses more fuel. Try to reduce your vehicle's load while driving. Take out any heavy items you don't need for the day and store them someplace safe rather than having them in the vehicle. Combining trips by running errands simultaneously rather than making multiple short trips is another good strategy. You can also use the air conditioning (AC) a little less. Running the AC requires fuel, so if you can open the windows instead, you'll save yourself some money. You'll especially want to avoid idling with the AC on for too long. Lastly, it's important to bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance. Maintenance tasks like performing an oil change, replacing air filters, rotating the tires and installing new brake pads can all help your vehicle become more fuel efficient. Schedule regular service visits for the best fuel efficiency results. Explore the 2024 Terrain at Meadowland GMC Excellent fuel efficiency is just one reason to love the 2024 GMC Terrain. Between its powerful performance, spacious interior cabin, and advanced technologies, the 2024 Terrain is sure to leave you happy.

Making its grand entrance for the 2024 model year, the third-generation GMC Acadia brings forth a wealth of updates and enhancements, promising an unparalleled driving experience for all. Its new styling, modernized cabin, robust power plant, and latest tech features converge to create a truly remarkable SUV. The all-new 2024 GMC Acadia outdoes its predecessor not only in terms of size but also in terms of interior room, offering enhanced comfort and space. However, what truly sets this vehicle apart is its remarkable fuel efficiency, a significant focus for GMC's engineering team. At Meadowland GMC in Carmel, New York, we want to show you how impressive the 2024 GMC Acadia's fuel economy is and what makes it stand out in its class. From estimated fuel economy to the size of its fuel tank, we'll delve into the details that make this SUV a top choice for those looking for a vehicle with excellent gas mileage. SEARCH INVENTORY VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN USED GMC VEHICLES GMC ACADIA INVENTORY image from gmc.com How Fuel-Efficient Is the 2024 GMC Acadia? With its previous V-6 engine, the 2023 GMC Acadia had an estimated combined mpg range of 21 to 22. However, for the 2024 model, GMC ditches the V-6 and introduces a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This switch not only improves performance but also significantly boosts fuel efficiency. While official EPA ratings aren't yet available, GMC has hinted that the 2024 Acadia is expected to surpass its predecessor's mpg range and achieve an impressive 22 to 29 combined mpg. This puts the Acadia ahead of its competitors, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class. How Large Is the Tank? The all-wheel-drive (AWD) trims will most likely come fitted with a 21.7-gallon fuel tank, identical to the 2023 models. This makes the 2024 GMC Acadia an excellent option for those who frequently go on long road trips or have long daily commutes. On the other hand, the front-wheel-drive (FWD) variants of the 2024 Acadia sport a slightly smaller 19.4-gallon tank. While slightly smaller, the efficient ratings still allow considerable travel distances between fill-ups. This difference in fuel tank size between the AWD and FWD models is attributed to the varying energy requirements of these drivetrains. AWD models require more power to function optimally, hence the larger fuel tank. How Many Miles Will It Usually Last? Given the impressive estimated mpg ratings of the 2024 GMC Acadia, this SUV can cover long distances on a single gas tank. For instance, in the AWD model with a 21.7-gallon tank, achieving 22 mpg could mean covering more than 476 miles and up to about 629 miles at 29 mpg before refilling. The range of the FWD model with its 19.4-gallon tank can vary from approximately 427 miles to 562 miles on a single tank, depending on the actual miles per gallon achieved. These impressive numbers make the 2024 GMC Acadia ideal for long-distance travelers or commuters. However, these numbers are based on estimates, and the actual miles covered could vary depending on various factors, such as driving conditions, speed, and the vehicle's cargo load. How To Get Better Gas Mileage While the 2024 GMC Acadia is already incredibly efficient, there are some simple steps you can take to improve its gas mileage even further. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated Underinflated tires create more resistance on the road, causing your vehicle to use more fuel. Therefore, it's essential to regularly check your tire pressure and make sure they're inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pounds per square inch. It would be best to do this every time you refuel or at least once every 30 days, whichever comes sooner. Many vehicles, including the 2024 GMC Acadia, have a tire pressure monitoring system that'll alert you if your tires are underinflated. However, manually checking your tire pressure for absolute accuracy is still a good idea. Ease Up on the Gas Your driving habits significantly affect your vehicle's fuel efficiency. Sudden acceleration can cause the engine to work harder, consuming additional fuel. An increase in speed from 55 to 65 mph can reduce fuel economy by 4 to 8 mpg, and a further increase to 75 mph can drop it by another 5 to 7 mpg, according to Consumer Reports. Similarly, sudden braking can also negatively impact fuel consumption. Minimize Air Conditioning Use Air conditioning use can adversely impact fuel economy, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Instead, consider opening the vents or rolling down your windows to let in fresh air. This allows for natural cooling without excess fuel consumption. However, roll up your windows when you hit highway speeds beyond 60 mph. Doing so reduces air drag, which can negatively affect fuel efficiency. Switch on the air conditioning at these higher speeds for a more fuel-efficient cooling solution. Avoid Excess Weight Additional weight in your vehicle can make the engine work harder, resulting in heightened fuel consumption. According to Investopedia, every extra 100 pounds in your car can reduce gas mileage by as much as 1%. Consequently, remove unnecessary items from your vehicle and store them in your garage. Get Regular Maintenance Proper vehicle maintenance is crucial for ensuring optimal fuel efficiency. Regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and spark plug replacements can all help improve gas mileage. In addition, keeping up with recommended service intervals can also prevent any potential issues that may arise and negatively affect your Acadia's fuel economy. Plan Your Trips Efficient route planning is an often overlooked aspect of improving gas mileage. Before setting off, always map out the most efficient route to your destination to avoid unnecessary backtracking or detours. Another tip is to consolidate your errands. Look for “one-stop shops” that offer multiple services in a single location. For instance, shopping centers with grocery stores, banks, and other essential services can be a great option.

GMC is known for producing durable and high-performing vehicles, but even the sturdiest cars can experience problems. This is where GMC warranties come in, providing peace of mind to vehicle owners and serving as a testament to GMC's dedication to quality. One of these protective plans is the powertrain warranty. However, many drivers are unsure what exactly this warranty covers. Let's delve into the details of the GMC powertrain warranty and unpack what it means for you as a GMC vehicle owner. VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN SEARCH NEW INVENTORY CALL US TODAY! Understanding Your GMC Warranties Regarding safeguarding your investment in a GMC vehicle, the warranties are your bulwark against unforeseen mechanical faults. Two separate warranties cover different aspects of your vehicles. But what do these warranties cover? The Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty: All-Inclusive Protection When you purchase a GMC, it comes with the assurance of a bumper-to-bumper warranty, often called the comprehensive or new vehicle warranty. This coverage is the most extensive warranty offered by GMC, covering almost every component from front to back for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. What Does It Cover? The bumper-to-bumper warranty addresses defects in the materials or quality of most vehicle parts. It includes the following: Electrical systems: From the battery to the onboard computer and everything in between. Climate control: Ensuring your HVAC system keeps you comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Safety features: These include airbags and seatbelts, which are crucial for your protection on the road. Audio and navigation systems: Covering sophisticated tech that keeps you connected and on track. Body panels and interior trim: Protecting against manufacturing defects that impact appearance and functionality. Peace of Mind on the Road This warranty provides peace of mind by ensuring that GMC has you covered if something goes wrong due to no fault of your own. You can drive off the dealership lot confident that GMC stands behind its craftsmanship. The Powertrain Warranty: Your Long-Term Assurance While the bumper-to-bumper warranty covers nearly everything for a shorter period, GMC's powertrain warranty focuses specifically on the components essential for propulsion. It lasts longer than the comprehensive coverage — five years or 60,000 miles — to provide long-term peace of mind. Key Components Protected The powertrain warranty zeroes in on these critical systems: Engine coverage: Protects all major engine components, including seals, gaskets, timing chains, gears, and oil pumps. Transmission security: Whether manual or automatic, it includes clutches and torque converters. Drive systems: Ensures front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive systems function without defect-induced hiccups. The Backbone of Your Vehicle The aforementioned parts are crucial for your car's functionality and costly to repair. They're considered the backbone of your vehicle. With this warranty, if any covered part fails due to a defect in material or quality under regular use, GMC will repair or replace it free of charge. Warranties Working Together The two warranties work in tandem to provide complete coverage during the initial years of ownership. One warranty covers almost everything for a shorter period. The other, with a longer time frame, focuses on the essential components that make your vehicle move.

The dealer will confirm if the warranty covers the issue. Follow up: Stay in communication with the service advisor to understand the repair process and any costs involved, if applicable. Remember, warranty work must be done at an authorized dealership like ours, ensuring that only trained technicians service your vehicle using genuine GMC parts.

In the changing landscape of automotive technology, GMC safety features are known to uphold the durability, dependability, and ruggedness associated with the brand. The innovative safety and driver-assistance technologies ensure a secure and confident driving experience whenever you're on the road. In this article, we delve deep into the latest GMC features, highlighting advancements in safety for you and your family. VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN SEARCH INVENTORY Advanced GMC Safety Features GMC vehicles are equipped with advanced driving-assistance systems and technologies that act as a second set of eyes for you to help avoid potential collisions and mishaps on the road. Below are some of the latest GMC features you can find in your vehicle for enhanced safety. Adaptive Cruise Control The GMC Adaptive Cruise Control is a driver-assistance feature that operates the vehicle's acceleration and braking and adjusts the speed to maintain a set following gap from the vehicle in front. It uses a forward-looking camera along with occasional radar technology to follow vehicles ahead of you safely. You can set a cruise control speed and enable the feature by pressing the cruise control On/Off button on the steering wheel. It's important to know that the feature doesn't steer your vehicle and requires your complete attention while driving. There's also an Adaptive Cruise Control Camera that helps you to automatically adapt your vehicle speed and reduce the frequency of braking and accelerating. Lane Change Alert The Lane Change Alert with the Side Blind Zone Alert feature warns you by assisting with lane changes when a vehicle approaches or is in the side blind zone. It provides side-mirror alerts by using radar sensors in the rear corners of your vehicle to help you avoid lane-change collisions. When both features activate, you'll find an amber warning symbol flashing as an additional warning not to change lanes. You also have the option to turn off the Lane Change Alert from your infotainment system screen in the Vehicle Personalization menu. IntelliBeam Auto High-Beam Control IntelliBeam can turn your vehicle's high beams on and off automatically, depending on the surrounding traffic conditions. It uses a sensor located at the top center of the windshield to turn on your vehicle's high-beam headlamps when it's dark enough in the absence of traffic and then turns them off when conditions change. You can disable the feature using the High/Low-Beam Changer or the Flash-to-Pass feature. Rear Park Assist The GMC Rear Park Assist notifies you of nearby detected vehicles when you're in reverse. This feature uses multiple ultrasonic sensors located on the rear bumper of the vehicle to prevent collisions. The sensors may detect objects up to 8 feet behind your vehicle when backing up at low speeds. You can turn the feature on and off using the Rear Park Assist system control or your vehicle's settings menu. Forward Collision Alert Forward Collision Alert warns you if it detects a potential collision with a vehicle. The feature uses a forward-looking camera or camera and radar sensors to identify front-end collisions. You may also receive a tailgating alert if you're following a vehicle much too closely. If you're approaching a vehicle that's ahead of you too quickly risking a potential crash, the system will flash a red collision alert on the lower windshield, along with eight high-pitched front beeps. Front Pedestrian Braking Front Pedestrian Braking, available at speeds between 5 and 50 mph, is an active safety feature that helps you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a pedestrian or a cyclist. This feature has limited nighttime and low-visibility performance and works better in the daytime. Your vehicle may automatically apply hard emergency braking when it's about to crash into a pedestrian ahead of it. Depending on the selected alert type, you may hear high-pitched front beeps or both-side Safety Alert Seat pulses. Safety Alert Seat The Safety Alert Seat feature uses left, right, or both-side driver seat vibration pulses to get your immediate attention in case of a potential threat. You can sense vibrations on your seat's bottom cushion as crash avoidance system alerts. This feature works together with other collision-avoidance warning technologies in your vehicle. Other driver-assist technologies, including Forward Collision Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, can activate this feature. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert The Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert feature notifies you of moving vehicles in the side-blind zone to help you avoid lane change collisions. You can turn on the feature by enabling Lane Change Alert through the Settings menu when you attach a trailer to your vehicle. This will disable the regular Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert feature, and you'll only be able to use the Trailer Side Blind Zone feature. You can easily input the trailer length as part of the trailer profile in the Trailering App. The feature may also light up a warning indicator in the presence of nonmoving objects, such as guardrails, signboards, and trees. Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking The Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking helps you reduce or avoid the severity of an intersection collision when it detects a cross-traffic vehicle. This feature uses a camera to look ahead of your vehicle in forward gear and monitor cross-traffic vehicles. During a potential collision where a detected vehicle is approaching from the right or left side too quickly, the feature provides a flashing collision alert along with front left or front right beeps. The feature may automatically apply hard emergency braking or enhance your hard braking if you fail to act swiftly or if the situation arises suddenly.

GMC, known for its dedication to driver-centric design and innovation, has once again gone above and beyond to enhance the driving experience through comfort and style. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve deep into the interior features of the 2024 Sierra 1500, highlighting the latest advancements that make this truck stand out in the competitive market. NEW GMC SIERRA 1500 USED GMC VEHICLES VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN The 2024 GMC Sierra Interior Highlights The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 interior is thoughtfully designed to cater to the driver's needs, placing everything within easy reach for a convenient and intuitive driving experience. As you ascend through the trim levels, GMC's commitment to quality and sophistication in the Sierra becomes increasingly evident. Starting with the SLE trim, a notable enhancement is the introduction of a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. This feature modernizes the cockpit, providing essential information in a visually appealing and easily accessible format. Going further up the Sierra lineup, such as the Denali Ultimate trim, unlocks a realm of luxury. Here, open-pore wood trim and a profusion of leather-draped surfaces elevate the interior to unparalleled luxury.

Ample cubby storage spaces are thoughtfully positioned throughout the cabin, providing convenient storage for a diverse range of small items and personal belongings. Check out our new GMC Sierra 1500s inventory at our dealership in Carmel, New York, if you'd like to experience the upscale interior. A Game-Changing GMC Sierra Tailgate One of the groundbreaking innovations that sets the 2024 GMC Sierra apart from the competition is the six-function GMC MultiPro Tailgate. This revolutionary feature is a game-changer for loading, unloading, and accessing the cargo box, offering unparalleled convenience and versatility. A standout function of this advanced tailgate is the ability to open and close the primary gate easily, thanks to the power release feature on the key fob. Say goodbye to struggling with heavy tailgates; the Sierra makes it effortless. But the utility continues beyond there. The MultiPro Tailgate introduces a load stop to the equation — a practical addition that helps prevent items from sliding out of the bed. Whether transporting tools or equipment, this feature provides peace of mind and ensures your cargo stays secure during transit. When you access the cargo box, the MultiPro Tailgate truly shines. Its fold-down inner gate makes loading and unloading a breeze, eliminating the need to reach over the tailgate. This inner gate has a remarkable trick — it can fold into a full-width step, supporting up to an impressive 375 pounds. This step transforms the Sierra's tailgate into a convenient platform, making reaching your cargo or accessing the truck bed easier. For those times when you need to transport multiple layers of cargo, the inner gate load stop comes to the rescue once again. It ensures that second-tier items remain securely in place, preventing unexpected spills during transit. Versatility is at the core of the MultiPro Tailgate's design. Recognizing that some situations may require the tailgate to remain closed, GMC has included a feature that allows you to disable the inner gate. This is especially handy when you have a hitch or other equipment installed, ensuring that nothing interferes with your towing setup. But the MultiPro Tailgate isn't just about practicality; it also enhances your outdoor entertainment experience. With the optional MultiPro Audio System by KICKER, you can take your music outdoors and enjoy high-quality sound while tailgating or camping. The MultiPro Tailgate is standard on the AT4, Denali, AT4X, and Denali Ultimate. It's available on the Pro, SLE, Elevation, and SLT trim levels. Infotainment at the Forefront The centerpiece of the Sierra 1500's interior is its impressive 13.4-inch touchscreen, which serves as the command center for the truck's cutting-edge infotainment system. This generously sized screen not only offers a visually striking display but also comes with several advanced features. Wireless connectivity is a highlight, as both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are seamlessly integrated, eliminating the hassle of cords and cables. But that's just the beginning. The Sierra incorporates built-in Google software, opening up a world of possibilities. You can access an app store, ensuring you have the latest apps and services. Navigating the road becomes effortless with integrated maps, and the responsive voice assistant streamlines your interactions with the infotainment system. The Sierra offers an optional 12-speaker Bose audio system for audiophiles and music enthusiasts, delivering concert-like sound quality within the cabin. This premium audio experience transforms every drive into a musical journey. Moreover, Sierra's commitment to convenience shines through with features like wireless phone charging, ensuring your devices stay powered up without cords. Additional power points are strategically placed throughout the interior, catering to various needs and ensuring that you and your passengers can stay connected and charged during your journeys. GMC Sierra Cabin Space and Upholstery The interior offers a range of premium features. The Denali Ultimate boasts full-grain leather seating, an exquisite topographical map pattern of Mt. Denali's summit, and laser-etched Paldao wood, aluminum, and chrome trim accents. Meanwhile, the AT4X impresses with its red double-needle stitching and ceramic white accents. The Denali offers real wood trim and refined accents for those seeking sophistication, while the AT4 delivers perforated front leather seating surfaces.

The GMC Sierra has been a popular pickup truck for the brand for over two decades. Known for its versatility and four-wheel-drive capability, Sierra owners have enjoyed driving it for work and play. In 2019, GMC introduced the AT4 trim. AT4 stands for all-terrain four-wheel drive, but this model is more than a truck with four-wheel drive. GMC developed the AT4 to appeal to off-road adventurers, equipping it with more durable equipment and increased capabilities. Thanks to the Sierra AT4's success, GMC includes an AT4 trim on most of its vehicles. Read on as our Meadowland GMC team in Meadowland, New York, highlights the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 trim's unique features. VALUE YOUR TRADE-IN SEARCH INVENTORY 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Engine Options The 2023 Sierra 1500 came standard with a 2.7-liter turbo engine, or you could opt for the 5.3-liter EcoTec V-8 or a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine. The 2.7-liter engine is no longer available in the GMC Sierra. Sierra 1500 AT4 models have a Duramax 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine or an optional 6.2-liter gas V-8 engine. GMC has enhanced the turbo-diesel engine with new steel pistons and a revised combustion bowl. It has also tuned the turbo compressor, added new fuel injectors, and improved the engine's temperature control systems. This engine gets a best-in-class 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. It also has an 8,900-pound towing capacity. Opting for the 6.2-liter V-8 gas engine with Dynamic Fuel Management technology provides 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. And you can tow up to 9,000 pounds with the proper equipment. What Makes the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Different? The GMC Sierra AT4 features a rugged style, off-road equipment, and a technology suite with intuitive, advanced features to tackle the harshest terrain. The AT4 has a factory-installed 2-inch suspension lift that fits 33-inch Goodyear off-road mud-terrain-rated Wrangler tires. Other upgrades include off-road-tuned Rancho monotube shock absorbers, a two-speed AutoTrac transfer case, an automatic locking rear differential, red vertical recovery hooks, and skid plates. For enhanced durability, you can upgrade to a Carbon Pro composite bed. The AT4 is as comfortable on the inside as it is capable on the outside. Signature Jet Black with Kalahari perforated leather upholstery features AT4 embroidery and accents. Heated and ventilated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel add premium comfort. It also features premium front and rear floor liners with removable carpet inserts for easy cleanup. Convenient storage in the rear seatback and underneath the back seat keeps your gear safe from prying eyes. All the in-vehicle technology runs through a 13.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay pre-installed. Other technological features include a 12.3-inch digital driver information screen, an available multicolor head-up display, and a standard Bose premium sound system with a Richbass woofer. 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X GMC introduced the Sierra 1500 AT4X in 2023, taking the off-road trim to another level. In 2024, this Sierra model features Multimatic DSSV dampers for a smoother ride. It also has front and rear electronic locking differentials you won't find on any other truck in its class. GMC asked American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) to provide additional off-road equipment for the AT4X. These models have an AEV-stamped steel front bumper with front winch capability and an AEV-stamped boron steel front approach skid plate for added protection. Trim-exclusive 18-inch painted aluminum wheels with dark-painted pockets wrapped in 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory mud-terrain tires combine style with exceptional off-road traction. Inside the AT4X, heated and ventilated 16-way power front seats feature a massage function. The Obsidian Rush interior has full-grain leather upholstery with technical-grain leather accents. Authentic Vanta ash wood trim adds a sophisticated style. What Type of Off-Roading Does the AT4 Provide? The AT4 takes off-road adventures to new levels of enjoyment. Its factory lift adds significant height to clear more obstacles, while the underbody skid plates protect the engine and drivetrain from damage as you conquer the rough terrain. Getting stuck in the mud is nearly impossible with the 33-inch mud-terrain tires, especially when it has the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel's 495 lb-ft of torque. But for serious fun, the 6.2-liter gas-powered V-8 offers thrilling drives. GMC thought of everything with the selectable drive modes that tune your AT4's throttle, suspension, and steering systems to suit your driving needs. The standard Touring mode works well for your everyday commute, while a Sport mode optimizes powertrain calibrations to make driving more exciting. When you leave the pavement behind, the Terrain mode gets your AT4 moving with confidence. An Off-Road mode dials in your AT4 for precise traction and control when the surfaces get challenging, and the Tow/Haul mode makes taking your ATVs, jet skis, or boat along on your next adventure easy. The AT4 also comes standard with hill descent control. This anti-lock braking system helps you stay in control on steep declines. GMC's AT4X takes all this to the next level with an off-road-tuned chassis. Uniquely tuned springs support increased front and rear suspension, while multimedia DSSV dampers feature three separate spool valves that control damping and three connected chambers for fluid flow. The front and rear electronic locking differentials let you lock the front and rear axles with the push of a button. In the locked position, both wheels spin together on each axle, regardless of the resistance they encounter. This system helps keep your truck moving over harsh terrain, and you won't find it on any other truck in its class. All in all, the AT4X offers unparalleled performance over rough and uneven surfaces. Explore the AT4 Trim In Person Today At Meadowland GMC, we know what off-road adventurers want in a vehicle.

GMC Yukon Powertrains: Reliability by Engine When shopping for a Yukon, your choice of engine plays a key role in operating costs and maintenance requirements: 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 The standard engine on most trims, the 5.3L V8 offers a well-balanced mix of horsepower, torque, and long-term durability. It features widely available replacement parts and straightforward service needs, making it one of the most cost-effective engines to maintain over 100,000+ miles. 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 Standard on Denali trims and available on the AT4, the 6.2L V8 delivers impressive towing capability and acceleration. While highly reliable when maintained properly, it requires premium fuel and benefits from diligent fluid change schedules to keep the valvetrain operating smoothly. 3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel Available across multiple trims, the 3.0L inline-six Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine has earned high praise for its exceptional highway fuel economy, high low-end torque, and long-term engine block durability. It is an outstanding option for drivers who frequently travel long distances or tow heavy equipment. Key Mechanical Systems & Preventive Care To keep your Yukon running smoothly past 150,000 miles, pay attention to these key mechanical areas: Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM): Modern V8 Yukons use DFM to deactivate cylinders and save fuel. To prevent lifter wear and keep the cylinder deactivation system healthy, stick strictly to factory oil change intervals using GM-approved dexos1® full synthetic oil. If you ever notice a misfire or check engine light, schedule a diagnostic at our service center immediately. 10-Speed Automatic Transmission: The 10L80 10-speed transmission provides smooth shifts and optimized engine RPMs. Routine transmission fluid flushes around recommended service milestones help maintain crisp shift quality and prevent internal clutch pack wear. Air Ride & Magnetic Ride Control: High-tier trims such as the Denali and AT4 feature Adaptive Air Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control dampers. These systems offer supreme ride comfort, but shock absorbers and air bladders naturally wear over time. Expect routine suspension maintenance near the 100,000-mile mark to preserve factory ride quality.

Power score. 2023–2024 GMC Yukon: Late-model fifth-generation Yukons benefit from refined interior electronics, matured 10-speed transmission tuning, and available Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty coverage. 2014 GMC Yukon: An excellent budget-friendly choice from the end of the third generation, known for its durable mechanical layout and solid engine reliability. 10-Year Maintenance Costs & Major Repair Risks According to automotive data from CarEdge, maintaining a GMC Yukon over its first 10 years costs approximately $8,300. This is roughly $830 less than the industry average for popular full-size SUVs. Preventative upkeep early in the vehicle's lifespan helps avoid costly repairs down the line.
