2011 Acadia Denali


V8 Beast

Recommended Posts

I went to Dan Tobin to get my oil changed and hollar at my dude Howard in the service department. While I was there I saw one of these in the showroom. Cant say I would drop $48k on a new one but I can see myself owning one in about 2 years. Its extrememly comfortable with 3 row seating. They even went as far as having volume and radio controls in the back for tailgating along with the heated seats and other comfort perks. They are pretty badass for what they are and have a nice look to them.

This will be the next thing I buy for the wife (like you, in a couple years). I remember while looking for a 3rd row vehicle a couple years ago, the first one I ever saw (w/o Denali options) made a great first impression on us.

We've put over 7 transmissions in them under warranty this year at the dealership, seriously. We've also rebuilt at least 3-4 engines with streched timing chains, 1 of which bent the valves from interference because the chains streched that far. One of the worst GMs currently in production, Traverse and Acadias. Crappy noisey power steering, typical noisey sway bar links, and loose wheel bearings, I wouldn't recommend one.

The wagon has a V8 in it too. Probably gets 8 MPG but it has a V8!

 

The backward facing seat is the original backup assist.. but instead of beeping when you got close to something a kid would just scream "watch out!".
