100% correct. A maintained road meant for autos, regardless if it is paved, is still a road. Off road means driving on ground not "designed" to be driven on - even if they can be driven on. I've driven on miles of logging roads with an old rear wheel drive Oldmsmobile Cutlass Supreme. That is not off roading. That is not even soft off roading. It's just a bumpy ride.
This is the Acadia that should have been from the beginning. The Acadia has always been too big and thirsty for its segment, it is good to see that it has now become more sensible.
I like how the GMC dude mentioned how the start stop feature nets better freeway fuel economy. I never knew people started and stopped a lot while freeway driving.
Rush hour good example... i was thinking Mississippi where they like to not build those freeway bridges so you just have to stop at every red light on the freeway 😂
Would be the only vehicle out there that fits that description. Although I doubt GMC would have ditched the HID headlight option since it's available on the outgoing model and even base model GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado get HID headlights standard (and LED units on higher trimmed trucks) even though It doesn't actually list the HIDs on the website as a feature.
Hello from 2024 TFL! Im here because Im researching my next used car and this generation of Acadia caught my eye. Why? Because it is only 1 inch wider than the Renegade I am replacing. I love how small and well placed the Renegade feels but want something longer for my growing family. This seems perfect. You guys convinced me of the Renegades offroad preformance years ago and you where right, I have loved the little thing. But now dad life has kicked in, and its time to make sure my 2 kids can arrive in the same vehicle with all their stuff. Thank you TFL for all you do, will do, and have done.
you must not have driven the MKT, its just a rebaged ford, cheap, plastics, pleathers, and plastic grain wood. this new Acadia has real wall nut wood, Nappa leather, REAL aluminium, and it has more technology. please, learn what you're talking about before you speak.
justin bouche You also do realize that GMC and Buick are the same company essentially, so if GMC is shit in your opinion I'm not sure how Buick is any better?
yeah right when has GM made one car of anything....give it time and all of the larger suv will be back to Envoy's and Trailblazers...they might as well bring back the 4.2 straight 6..that was a solid engine
I have the 4.2 and yes it is very solid with excellent power and crap gas millage. However they're known for water pump issues and just replaced mine at 92k miles earlier this week. The engine feels like a smooth V8.
Thanks Andre for a great review. I am really enjoying all the new products that GMC is releasing. I love my All Terrain Canyon 2016. The Acadia All Terrain looks beautiful.
Andre, you had to ask the hard questions. We Acadia owners bought this SUV for 3 main reasons: room for up to 8, best interior space and 5600 lb of towing capability. Instead, you focus on select terrain and offroad? And what's the ground clearance? Acadia was already a fantastic all weather vehicle. That terrain mode sounds like bologna to me. Is it trying to compete with the Cherokee? The niche that make customers love, and buy, this car are the ones I gave you before and you fail to inquire about them.
this is the all terrain model, of course he is going to ask about aspects pertaining to the all terrain badge. the normal models still comes with 3 rows, I believe towing is down to 5000 maybe less.

At least it looks less like a mini van with standard style doors than the last model. Nice mini review Andre, you have really come a long way since your first videos.
It shares the same exact V6 engine as the new XT5; the Acadia just has a 6-speed transmission while the XT5 gets an 8-speed transmission. I would rather get an XT5 for the money.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I was so excited to watch this video i mean i love the new Acadia BUT STOP LETTING ANDRE DO THE NEW VIDEOS PLEASE!!! He drives me insane!
After having mine for a couple years, I like it but that tire/road noise can be awful and gets worse as the tires wear. I enjoy the handling of sport mode quite a bit. One thing overlooked that's nice is the 22 gallon fuel tank, 2-3 gallons more than typical for this class. I regularly get 500-550 miles off a tank. The cylinder shutoff is great when it applies.. mostly when cruising around 58mph or slower it will shift to 4 cylinder. The engine is held back by the transmission. The upcoming 2020 model with the 9 speed (or is it 8) should help.
Just two random thoughts on this video - Do you remember when you promised us " The Fast Lane Car Tire-Shredding, Dirt-Pounding, Prototype-Hunting, New-Car-Reviewing Show "❓ Well, where is it⁉️ And, of much more importance; WHERE IS NATHAN⁉️⁉️⁉️🤔🤔🤔
+MrKeyboardCommando This was the New-Car-Reviewing part of the promise. It is a first drive review. If you want to see tire-shredding , come back every Monday for "TFL Leaderboard: Hot or Not" episodes. Also, more Nathan coming very soon!
The Fast Lane Car I'm delighted to learn of Nathan's return. Please extend my whole hearted best wishes to the guy, and tell him he's been sorely missed. Thank you.
It not dark brown; it more close to butterscotch color or a tan color! It has side slits that are dark chocolate on the side boosters! Wish it was darker brown like that of the BMW models!
The Fast Lane Car That's awesome. BTW One of the MAIN reasons that I follow all of your channels and posts is cause you respond and keep users engaged. Thanks!
+The Fast Lane Car the main thing I want to know about these CUV/mid-size 3- row vehicles. can you fit a 6ft tall adult in the 3rd row comfortably (comfortable enough for a 2 hr drive)
The Videography for this show was fantastic. Who did it and what type of camera did you use? Very well produced. Now the GMC that's another story as in my last comment before this one.
I know yall are busy people with all the work yall do with all the cats yall do. but when yall are on Virginia again. it would be nice to meet u guys....towards the tfl crew.
I'd really like to ask that "Engineer" how the stop-start technology on the 4-cyl. model helped increase the HIGHWAY mileage! What does it do... shut off the motor when it's going downhill??
So my question to them is where is the 2.8 baby duramax that they have on the Canyon?? If they are all about mileage why don't they offer the diesel? This guy says the truck is off road, but no lift? Um last time I checked if there is an off road package that means it's lifted whether it's mild or wild, tires are off road based, and for the most part skid plate and other protection items galore.
It seems to me that the term "off-road" has a very wide definition. A lot of auto manufacturers say "off-road" when they really mean "off paved road". A dirt road that is flat and dry really isn't that much different to drive on. A Buick Verano can do that. I realize also that rock crawling is not what these vehicles are meant to do either as they are not traditional 4x4 like a Nissan XTerra or a Jeep Wrangler. But a fair test of AWD capability would be to test the vehicle (CUVs of this type) on the exact situations most people would require them to be driven on. There should be a test drive on a sandy beach, on a few inches of fresh snow, on grassy grazing land, and on wet dirt roads with some incline.
I need to see 1 in person, they keep saying it's smaller but then say it's 2 inches longer than a Highlander. Well that's not really small, I don't remember the old one being all that big
GMC Acadia/traverse are getting smaller. their just coming down in size to match vehicles segment. Acadia was oddly larger than other vehicles is the segment. I love the styling

I'm _really_ curious to see the _real world_ MPG numbers for the 4 cylinder. Once you load it up with people and junk and actually go somewhere the MPG will go straight to hell, as will the lifespan of the engine. But yeah, with empty car and cruise control on a freeway it'll surely drive for cheap... With cylinder deactivation on the V6 I don't really understand why anyone would ever buy the I4. Maybe for driving a mile to a shopping mall and back?
I really like the front of this, But I still don't like the over all looks plus imo, it's a redundant model. Gm is bad for that, making the same or similar in the product line trying to be everything to everyone. I'd buy the Pilot over this. Sad but true and i hate the look of the new washed down pilot. Great review.
too bad. we really liked the Acadia for its rugged look and feel. This newer model looks more like a Gmc Terain. if I want I Terain in would get a Terain. Unfortunate that they changed the design to a lesser feel and look. hopefully they will bring back the more rugged larger design. We may go over to the ford Explorer or lincoln . They have kept the much more rugged design.
Wow. I'm not so sure I'd like to "upgrade" to this model when the lease is up on our 2015. Less space, cheaper looking exterior design... Looks less premium, has a dated looking front end design, and overall it's a step down from the old Acadia except for the interior design. Disappointing.
The last Arcadia sucked diarrhea donkey ass...I would hoped they improved with this model. GMC if it can fit a third row in a big body like that well keep it standard. If we wanted a 5 seater with decent cargo room, then I and many other would buy the Terrain!!!
+Vincent Phillips Why did they take it out in the first place if the weight reduction is already engineered in the total production?!? Makes no sense for a car that size.
+realbhopwood i don't understand it either, I mean I can live without the third row on the all terrain of they actually made it an off road competitor, more ground clearance, approach and departure, true 4×4 with low gears.
I agree, they make the blazer for the Asian market with the diesel, they put it against the 4 runner and it did very well. I guess jeep takes too much market share in that segment.
It's smaller and 700 lbs lighter, makes it the same size and weight as the GMC Terrain. What is the purpose of shrinking the Acadia to the size of the Terrain, might as well just go out and buy a Terrain! What's the difference?
My wife traded yesterday her 2018 camaro for a 2017 acadia all terrain with the saddleback leather seats . I got to say....i don't miss her tiny ass camaro l. Also this car says all terrain not off road it's easy going on rougher terrain. Also tfastlane fails here testing it's capabilities. There are videos out there where people took it actually climbing and it works. Again it's a suv great for camping grounds what not. Nobody claims it's a big badass jeep off roader. People really need to learn how to understand context here. And also off roading? Is anything that is not designated for normal road use. And it's more than able to do it. All you experts are so narrow minded
Neezy Ko I was being sarcastic lol.That road was barely offroad. My bicycle could handle that. This vehicle has horrible ground clearance and approach angle for real offroading.
Chummy Chime I have had Toyota in the past. now have Gmc and Chevy. I get so may more complements, as well as far less time in the shop getting repairs do to recalls or failing components. Toyota was good in the 80s and early 90s but quality has dropped considerably they past few years
My 07 Malibu can do more off roading then that...it's what happens when you live in WV and don't need a 4x4 for anything, nothing a good tire and gas can't solve
+The Fast Lane Car Well, I don't mean to be rude, but you're promoting a rather annoying habit by doing that... Cloudy weather doesn't warrant foglight use, too.
+matchgame90 Actually yes, plenty is wrong with that. And what's worse, there's no reason for them to be turned on unless it's fog to begin with. There is absolutely no benefit to drive with them and potentially blind or otherwise annoy cars in front of you.
***** It may be able to do more than the last one, since it has different terrain modes and such. The last gen of lambda based vehicles (acadia, traverse, etc) were really bad.
***** I'm 33 and if you really about that action we can run his fade. Not my fault you didn't do your due diligence when researching this vehicle. I wasn't rude, I helped you fuck boy
Driving on a dirt road isn't considered off roading
+xXx_69_ILLUMINATI - DE$TROYER_69_xXx True , but it is more off road than most of the people who buy one will take it on .
+xXx_69_ILLUMINATI - DE$TROYER_69_xXx by definition its off roading
For me it is offroad because your car is not in the pavement or in a concrete highway, so basically your car is doing a light offroad on a dirt road!
What's off roading to you? Climbing over 5ft rocks and going through a lake? Off road means off the road, on a dirt path or a muddy trail,
100% correct. A maintained road meant for autos, regardless if it is paved, is still a road. Off road means driving on ground not "designed" to be driven on - even if they can be driven on. I've driven on miles of logging roads with an old rear wheel drive Oldmsmobile Cutlass Supreme. That is not off roading. That is not even soft off roading. It's just a bumpy ride.
I like the brown seats.
yes I do do
Jackal's Outdoor Channel i doodoo not
This is the Acadia that should have been from the beginning. The Acadia has always been too big and thirsty for its segment, it is good to see that it has now become more sensible.
I like how the GMC dude mentioned how the start stop feature nets better freeway fuel economy. I never knew people started and stopped a lot while freeway driving.
cgcgundersen yes...its called rush hour. when you're stopped bumper to bumper.
Rush hour good example... i was thinking Mississippi where they like to not build those freeway bridges so you just have to stop at every red light on the freeway 😂
A 2017 vehicle that costs over $30,000 base model and still has Halogen headlights. Gotta love GM.
Would be the only vehicle out there that fits that description. Although I doubt GMC would have ditched the HID headlight option since it's available on the outgoing model and even base model GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado get HID headlights standard (and LED units on higher trimmed trucks) even though It doesn't actually list the HIDs on the website as a feature.

Thank you TFL for all you do, will do, and have done.
looks nicer than anything Lincoln or buick offers in terms of interior design and materials.
Chances are the next gen Buick Enclave will have a very similarly designed interior.
perhaps, though the current Enclave looks nothing like the chevy / GMC counterparts as it has a unique interior architecture.
well if you want a worse interior, less technology, and less performance then sure.
you must not have driven the MKT, its just a rebaged ford, cheap, plastics, pleathers, and plastic grain wood.
this new Acadia has real wall nut wood, Nappa leather, REAL aluminium, and it has more technology.
please, learn what you're talking about before you speak.
justin bouche You also do realize that GMC and Buick are the same company essentially, so if GMC is shit in your opinion I'm not sure how Buick is any better?
The previous models advantage was limited to the interior wide space but the disadvantages still more!
I'm calling it now, the Chevy version will be called the Blazer.
GM is actually trying to space out the sizes so that they don't compete for sales. Chevy will get the larger Traverse and that's it.
yeah right when has GM made one car of anything....give it time and all of the larger suv will be back to Envoy's and Trailblazers...they might as well bring back the 4.2 straight 6..that was a solid engine
I have the 4.2 and yes it is very solid with excellent power and crap gas millage. However they're known for water pump issues and just replaced mine at 92k miles earlier this week. The engine feels like a smooth V8.
yoooo
Car reviewers always forget to show the back of cars enough
Andrea done a good job reviewing a nice crossover. I know some folks with large families. I may just share this video with them.
Thank you

Nice review! Good to see Andre is comfortable in english ;) Hehehe Also beautiful backdrop for the review...
+Stas G. Was a joke though, as Andre used to only speak russian on the show :)
At least it looks less like a mini van with standard style doors than the last model.
Nice mini review Andre, you have really come a long way since your first videos.
It shares the same exact V6 engine as the new XT5; the Acadia just has a 6-speed transmission while the XT5 gets an 8-speed transmission. I would rather get an XT5 for the money.
So they brought back the GMC Envoy??
Very good review, better than those other 2 guys.

How about a Acadia All Terrain Denali! It the extra storage and don't need the extra third row seats!
Nice review. There are so many options in this category these days.
This suv is still too big for the 4 cylinder, v6 all wheel drive is the way to go
4 cylinder is probably for the people who want the biigger sized SUV but can't afford the more up scale v6 engine. Just my guess.
love the dark brown leather and the fact you don't have to get a 7 seat model... like it..
It not dark brown; it more close to butterscotch color or a tan color! It has side slits that are dark chocolate on the side boosters! Wish it was darker brown like that of the BMW models!
and I like the fact it's only a 5 seater. I wish the Durango had a 5 seat option.
+Stas G. thanks. I know the JGC and Durango share features but I'm not a jeep fan..
I heard the Durango has a possibility of being discontinued. Not sure though. Might be replaced by the coming Jeep Wagoneer
It's smaller than a durango
hahaha thats cute, GMC with a terrain response system.... Take it up gold mine hill guys, lets see a real test :)
+Emeka Ossai We will as soon as we can get the 2017 Acadia to Colorado! Stay tuned.
The Fast Lane Car That's awesome. BTW One of the MAIN reasons that I follow all of your channels and posts is cause you respond and keep users engaged. Thanks!
+The Fast Lane Car the main thing I want to know about these CUV/mid-size 3- row vehicles. can you fit a 6ft tall adult in the 3rd row comfortably (comfortable enough for a 2 hr drive)
+xXBurntBaconXx get a fullsize for that shit what kind of idiotic question is that
Maybe I don't want a fullsize? What kind of dumbass response is that.
The Videography for this show was fantastic. Who did it and what type of camera did you use? Very well produced. Now the GMC that's another story as in my last comment before this one.
I know yall are busy people with all the work yall do with all the cats yall do. but when yall are on Virginia again. it would be nice to meet u guys....towards the tfl crew.
Thanks for the video, really helpful. Please try the 2017 Arcadia (not all terrain) off road on the gold mine. Lets see how it does!
proudly made by us now at springhill tn.plant.
I'd really like to ask that "Engineer" how the stop-start technology on the 4-cyl. model helped increase the HIGHWAY mileage! What does it do... shut off the motor when it's going downhill??
The 3.6L engine is still going to have the oil filter next to the catalytic converter. I hope most of these are going to have the 2.5L engine...
yea like every other 3.6 unless it rwd setup
So my question to them is where is the 2.8 baby duramax that they have on the Canyon?? If they are all about mileage why don't they offer the diesel? This guy says the truck is off road, but no lift? Um last time I checked if there is an off road package that means it's lifted whether it's mild or wild, tires are off road based, and for the most part skid plate and other protection items galore.
Whats the towing capacity? Does it have a lower range? Does it have a lock rear dif?
Very nice! How about transmission? is it new 6 speed auto or still the same one? The old transmission was giving a lot of headache after 60 000 :(
I owned a 2008 Acadia and this is a DOWNGRADE!
I'm noticing a lack of adjustable seat belt anchors. Details, details...
this car needed to be replaced so bad, looks so much better
it's cool as hell but resembles as a new envoy. I still like it though
It seems to me that the term "off-road" has a very wide definition. A lot of auto manufacturers say "off-road" when they really mean "off paved road". A dirt road that is flat and dry really isn't that much different to drive on. A Buick Verano can do that.

K. Theodos this crap couldent off road to save its life come on.
Virginia! Come to Clifton sometime. You'll enjoy the trip :)
+DementedButtHole Will try to get to Clifton next time.
I love the look of the front! I hate the look of the rear. I e ish they would've made the tail lights more sleek.
+Stas G. I agree. The taillights just don't look right in it
that is a sexy car. great job GM
It's ugly like most GM garbage.
Blue Fox if it's garbage, why do people buy them ford fan boy
Sales doesn't mean they don't have ugly cars. And individually they don't sell as well as other cars.
+Blue Fox that's what you think. your clearly oblivious to the amount of buicks ,cadillacs, gmc's, and chevys that are around here
When will you test this SUV 🚙 up the goldmine hill?
I need to see 1 in person, they keep saying it's smaller but then say it's 2 inches longer than a Highlander. Well that's not really small, I don't remember the old one being all that big
Another major exterior redesign for acadia.
it doesn't have any resemblance from previous Acadia except for interior.
GMC Acadia/traverse are getting smaller. their just coming down in size to match vehicles segment. Acadia was oddly larger than other vehicles is the segment.
I love the styling
I'm _really_ curious to see the _real world_ MPG numbers for the 4 cylinder.

With cylinder deactivation on the V6 I don't really understand why anyone would ever buy the I4. Maybe for driving a mile to a shopping mall and back?
Everything GM makes these days are wagons, there is no ground clearance on their trucks, suvs, and crossovers
I really like the front of this, But I still don't like the over all looks plus imo, it's a redundant model. Gm is bad for that, making the same or similar in the product line trying to be everything to everyone. I'd buy the Pilot over this. Sad but true and i hate the look of the new washed down pilot. Great review.
too bad. we really liked the Acadia for its rugged look and feel. This newer model looks more like a Gmc Terain. if I want I Terain in would get a Terain. Unfortunate that they changed the design to a lesser feel and look. hopefully they will bring back the more rugged larger design. We may go over to the ford Explorer or lincoln .

Looks Nice,
Amazing that GMC found a junior high school boy with a beard and gray hair.
when can you all do the pathfinder, explore, gmc Acadia up the hill test??? please!!!!😄
Hey guys, are you gonna take this up Gold Mine Hill?
Looks better than the boring Pilot.
Nice looking car.
wears sunglasses while cloudy
+moaz khan Also wears sunglasses at night. :)
+The Fast Lane Car oh wow XD
moaz khan lol
moaz khan y
18 and 25 mpg? I thought it would be better, since the gmc yukon XL is 16 city, 22 hwy mpg...and thats a twice bigger dinosour with V8:)
Wow. I'm not so sure I'd like to "upgrade" to this model when the lease is up on our 2015. Less space, cheaper looking exterior design... Looks less premium, has a dated looking front end design, and overall it's a step down from the old Acadia except for the interior design. Disappointing.
The 15 was extremely outdated
Well then keep the car!
Very uneducated reply.
does this share the same chassis as the Captiva?
+djp4nfa No it does not. The Captiva is a small suv. This is much bigger.
Is the Dodge Durango better off road?
Daritvix uhm yessssss 100 times better wtf? this thing is a car in a suv body.
Cam Cleroux no, the dodge Durango is probably the least capable crossover for back roads. the only area or excels in is towing.
someone give the GMC guy some damn lemon juice to gargle!
+SoundgardenMan you say this on a video narrated by a Russian called Smirnov.
+dftns19 hey it's better than saying he needs to gargle Smirnoff!
+SoundgardenMan I mean at least buy the man dinner first ;)
3:19.i didn't know that v4 engines existed.
It can run temporarily in V4 mode. The transition to and from V6 mode is seamless.
But can it beat the 95-96 Bulls?
do a old van week from 94-09
The front says Buick, and the back says Audi. Just my personal opinion. Not saying it looks bad though!
mclovinit96 i do! it does look bad. really bad. best soccer mom wagon ever.
The last Arcadia sucked diarrhea donkey ass...I would hoped they improved with this model. GMC if it can fit a third row in a big body like that well keep it standard. If we wanted a 5 seater with decent cargo room, then I and many other would buy the Terrain!!!
+realbhopwood they said you can get a 7 passenger configuration
+Vincent Phillips Why did they take it out in the first place if the weight reduction is already engineered in the total production?!? Makes no sense for a car that size.
+realbhopwood i don't understand it either, I mean I can live without the third row on the all terrain of they actually made it an off road competitor, more ground clearance, approach and departure, true 4×4 with low gears.
Love our 2015 Acadia.. Not a huge fan of this new exterior.
It's nice but,gm still needs a Colorado/canyon based true SUV.something truck based.a blazer/gimmy replacement.
I agree, they make the blazer for the Asian market with the diesel, they put it against the 4 runner and it did very well. I guess jeep takes too much market share in that segment.
Watch your step there Andre....
Yep, lots of cow land mines.
Older one looks better
They should put a warning on the vids with Andre... i miss Nathan...:(
Do the Gold Mine Test
It's smaller and 700 lbs lighter, makes it the same size and weight as the GMC Terrain. What is the purpose of shrinking the Acadia to the size of the Terrain, might as well just go out and buy a Terrain! What's the difference?
What's the name of the music at the very beginning?
solidsnake1447 its called we are biased and payed by GMC so we can keep our jobs.
Cam Cleroux 0
solidsnake1447 f
My wife traded yesterday her 2018 camaro for a 2017 acadia all terrain with the saddleback leather seats .
I got to say....i don't miss her tiny ass camaro l. Also this car says all terrain not off road it's easy going on rougher terrain.
Also tfastlane fails here testing it's capabilities. There are videos out there where people took it actually climbing and it works.
Again it's a suv great for camping grounds what not. Nobody claims it's a big badass jeep off roader. People really need to learn how to understand context here.
And also off roading? Is anything that is not designated for normal road use. And it's more than able to do it. All you experts are so narrow minded
"off road capable"? Ground clearance?
Neezy Ko
I was being sarcastic lol.That road was barely offroad. My bicycle could handle that. This vehicle has horrible ground clearance and approach angle for real offroading.
The front end looks like a Buick
“continuously dampened suspension"?
Lol. So he basically said “it has shocks"
the front end is like the ford explorer
?
Actually, this looks more larger and taller.
The reliability is always questionable. compare to toyota.
if you buy an american car, wait for 3 more years before buying a redesigned.
Chummy Chime redesigns are for suckers.
Chummy Chime I have had Toyota in the past. now have Gmc and Chevy. I get so may more complements, as well as far less time in the shop getting repairs do to recalls or failing components. Toyota was good in the 80s and early 90s but quality has dropped considerably they past few years
inside looks like a BMW and outside (front) looks like a qx60
You call that OFFROAD? A Porsche can go through that easily!
looks like the ford explorer from the side
I was thinking the same thing
My 07 Malibu can do more off roading then that...it's what happens when you live in WV and don't need a 4x4 for anything, nothing a good tire and gas can't solve
Andre just isn't much of a off road person I guess.
yeah mon
Are you driving with bloody fog lights on or something? WHY?
+AoyagiAichou We want to show all the features of a new car, and the fog lights are included. Also, it was cloudy during most of the shoot.
+The Fast Lane Car Well, I don't mean to be rude, but you're promoting a rather annoying habit by doing that... Cloudy weather doesn't warrant foglight use, too.
nothing wrong with driving with fog lights on.
+matchgame90 Actually yes, plenty is wrong with that. And what's worse, there's no reason for them to be turned on unless it's fog to begin with. There is absolutely no benefit to drive with them and potentially blind or otherwise annoy cars in front of you.
+AoyagiAichou that's just your opinion ... thanks for sharing
2016 GMC Old Man?
I want to see that thing pushed to its limit off road.
+Michael Miller Which would basically be down a smooth, flat, dirt road?
I know its not going to do any rock crawling or take on the Rubicon Trail, but surely it can do more than that.
***** It may be able to do more than the last one, since it has different terrain modes and such. The last gen of lambda based vehicles (acadia, traverse, etc) were really bad.
The 2.5L I4 gets 26 mpg hwy??? That's horrible!!
+Cuong Vu and remember that's what GMC claims... I am sure the real life numbers will be a lot lower.
They messed up the size.
nice gut
I would take a jeep. but this is nice
Not bad..
Wow gmc really screwed over the Acadia it a dodge Durango now lol
Eddie Acosta Ikr, look at a white Dodge Durango citadel and a white Acadia Denali.
Eddie Acosta yup half the power. half the reliability. but it does have those poo colored seats.
I parked my 2016 Acadia next to a 2017 and it was sad to see it in person, half the car same price.....gmc really dropped the ball on this one
Eddie Acosta right.
kinda looks like the 2013 toyota highlander
To bad it's still front wheel drive base.
It has 3rd row seating. The all terrain version doesn't, it seats five and has bench seating. Also it's an SUV not a truck

I'm 33 and if you really about that action we can run his fade. Not my fault you didn't do your due diligence when researching this vehicle. I wasn't rude, I helped you fuck boy
Ogre Doug Tell me what the 1st gear ratio is in the transmission without google it.
*****
Tell me what year they stopped putting Ohlins steering dampers on the ninja zx6r without googling it? Fuck is your point?
Ogre Doug Correct me with something I don't know hair splitter.
