Picked up a new SUV for the wifey, GMC Terrain SLE 1, AWD 4 cyl 6 speed trans, the stereo is pretty cool item, touch screen sycs iphone for music and pandora, stereo also has a back up camera which seems to be standard issue.. back seat is very roomy adjusts fwd and back. and the rear cargo area is also big. This will be my 1st lease on a vehicle i up the milage to 15k year.

 

 

 

enjoy .... great trucks!!!

wait, that thing is a 4-cyl? that's a pretty large SUV to have a 4cyl engine, no? certainly nice enough looking though!

Are they considered one of those crossover SUV/Minivan? BTW, looks nice.

Crossover.....

What kind of mileage does it get? Nice ride.

4 clylinder? yikes

Is it a turbo 4cyl at least?

wow....

 

you guys are a piece of work...

 

 

182hp.... they are fine.

How is the "get up and go" on that thing?

wow....

 

you guys are a piece of work...

 

 

182hp.... they are fine.

 

182HP on how heavy a car though....

I was thinking since Tony likes speed boats and big trucks that the SUV he chooses would at least have a V6 in it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

jk, love you T

Congrats. Looks sweet.

Nice! Glad to hear it has plenty of cargo room to haul around those target backers, stands and steel targets.

It has pretty good acceleration, 2.4 litre 182 hp plus it has a 6 speed trans which i think is the make up of the whole operation.. AWD 20 city it also has an eco button which will shift the trans earlier to save on fuel.

 

looking to save on the fuel mileage with the 4 banger the trail blazer was only getting 16 city with the I-6 but it is an extended cab with the 3rd row seats kids are all grown up so we do not need the extra room any more..

The trailblazer will be going up for sale soon..

Sweet it's AWD

Congrats!

4 cylinder is FINE. In fact automakers are going for better 4 cyl instead of heavier V6.

 

Nice looking ride!

sorry but this thread sucks. when you said wifey in the title, I thought I was gonna see that big boobed porn chick....lol

 

just kidding, nice truck

How is the storage space in the back. With my second kid just being born i am looking into new trucks as well.

Very nice...congrats.

Congrats Nice ride..

I was suprised at how much room was in the back..

 

Looks great!

 

I am also a fan of 4 cylinders and smaller motors. So long as the vehicle can merge into highway speed traffic you should be fine.

 

I was going to trade my Tacoma in for a Crew Cab long bed (talking 21' of truck) Ford F250 turbo diesel. It was the last of the International powered diesels. The truck was scary. I couldn't merge onto route 9. It was dangerous and that was with me flooring it. No power even when the turbo had spooled.

 

Is that a power jack I see in the rear on the left there? If so that is a great place for a rechargable flashlight for the just incase.

yes, they have 4 power plug in the vehicle.

the center console will fit a laptop in it.

Nice. We have almost the same car.

 

As for the flashlight, I just upgraded to a grand cherokee and there is actually a flashlight built in to the trunk. Probably junk but its better than nothing

Let me know how the gas mileage is - I figure once we have kids the wifey will want a SUV

Plenty of room for gun cases. Enjoy!

Don't discount the minivan! We love our 13 Sienna. It has lots of room and is one of the few vehicles that is not a BROD that fits our triple stroller. It has full time computerized AWD as well and it works damn good in the snow, and some of the 2WD versions have Lexus VDIM... it drives great, even beating out 4 wheel drive SUVs. I love driving it, and if I have to hand in my man card for that, eh so what...

i had one of those awhile back. find out if your truck is built with Air Shocks>? if it does'like most gmc suv's They will ROT and will not hold air 2 -3 Years) .swap them out with regular shocks and youll be happy i told you
