Wonder what it's weight is and how much it can tow?

FxsX24 · 04-05-2009, 03:12 PM

Assuming it's about the same as the 2010 Equinox, it'll weigh about 3700 lbs and be able to tow 3500 lbs.

The high belt line makes the lower half of the vehicle look too large and the although the grill is nice, the 4 inches of body color below it would look nicer if it was molded to look like part of the bumper instead of the grill. Over did the work around the tailpipes.

Nice interior though.

No, no, the only brands you're going to see killed are Pontiac, Saturn, and Hummer.

I like my GMC and proud to be different. I liked my Olds to. Lets see, my family has a buck and a ponitac and a cadillac. Guess we all like to be different.

Yes, IMO the front end is odd looking. I agree that the interior is very nice.
But I also think that the GMC branch is unnecessary. All of their vehicles are "rebadged" chevys. I know there are differences between the chevy and GMC versions but not enough to justify GMC existence right now. But thats a whole differenct subject.

The only reasons needed are profitability and an extremely loyal customer base.

Cut costs and get rid of GMC, Buick, Pontiac just like Olds.

Only needs to be a Chevy. The rest is window dressing that costs and wastes money.

Don't know about that. I just saw a new Saturn commercial tonight basically stating the same general power train and quality information that GM released a week or so ago in a similar commercial. I don't think Saturn is on the chopping block.

Saturn's going until 2012. If dealers haven't come up with ideas as to how to save the brand, it's finished.

Chevy version was the Equinox.

someone stop GMC now before they try to do what Chevy did with the Avalanche front end when they put it on all the Silverados... that front end is something only a mother could love.

MrIcky · 04-06-2009, 10:28 AM

If they are going to keep those fenders, they need a more appropriate wheel/tire package.

The name 'Terrain' implies capabilities that don't appear to exist in this vehicle reading over the featured chart.

It looks to me like the stylist was going for an aggressive off-road look while everyone else was going for a standard fare crossover.
