2010 GMC Acadia

The 2010 GMC Acadia, available at Jerry Durant GMC of Weatherford, stands out from the myriad of crossover vehicle on the road. Some of  Acadia  attractive qualities include unibody architecture as opposed to heavier and less carlike body-on-frame construction, superior handling, interior packaging and crashworthiness relative to traditional full-size SUVs.  Granbury GMC‘s big crossover also offers a smooth and powerful direct-injected V6 engine and it’s available with either front- or all-wheel drive. Its smooth ride is a boon for road-tripping families, as is its available rear-seat entertainment system

The 2010 GMC Acadia is a capable, family oriented vehicle, which means it’s one of the top choices among three-row large crossover SUVs. Minivans move over! GMC’s Suburban is  only vehicle that can top the Acadia’s whopping 117 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. Check out the 2010 GMC Acadia at our Dallas-Fort Worth GMC dealership today!

Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options

The 2010 GMC Acadia, available at our Dallas-Fort Worth GMC dealer, is a large crossover SUV offered in four trims: base SL, SLE, SLT-1 and SLT-2. Seven-passenger seating is the default configuration, while eight-passenger seating (substituting a fold-flat second-row bench for the standard fold-flat captain’s chairs) is optional on all but the SL.

The SL comes with an impressive roster of standard equipment, including 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear air-conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, OnStar telematics and a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo system with satellite radio. The SLE adds foglamps, a power liftgate, remote ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, partial power front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors and a back-up camera with a small rearview-mirror-integrated display.

The SLT-1 ups the ante with 19-inch wheels, heated mirrors, a variable-assist steering system, tri-zone automatic climate control, rear audio controls and headphone jacks, leather upholstery, heated front seats and a 10-speaker Bose stereo with a USB audio jack. The top-shelf SLT-2 tacks on 20-inch chrome wheels, power-folding heated mirrors with driver-side auto-dimming, perforated leather upholstery, additional power adjustments for the front seats (eight-way driver, four-way passenger), driver memory functions and a Towing Preparation package.

The options list is headed by a rear entertainment system (SL excluded), which includes a rear-seat DVD player with a flip-down display, a 115-volt power outlet, a surround-sound version of the Bose stereo and — for the SLE — rear audio controls and tri-zone automatic climate control. The SLT-1 and SLT-2 get an even fancier entertainment package that throws in a navigation system (unavailable on SL and SLE). Additional options, depending on the trim level, include a second-row center console, a dual-pane “SkyScape” sunroof, heated and cooled front seats and a Technology package with a head-up display and xenon headlamps.

Powertrain and Performance

The 2010 GMC Acadia is available at our Granbury GMC dealership with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 that cranks out 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and it’s been updated for 2010 with noticeably more responsive downshifts. The front-drive Acadia is EPA-rated at 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined, while all-wheel drive lowers those numbers a smidge to 16/23/19. The Acadia’s towing capacity is a useful 4,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Safety

Standard safety features on the 2010 GMC Acadia from Jerry Durant GMC of Weatherford include antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. In crash tests, the Acadia ran the table, scoring a perfect five stars in government frontal- and side-impact testing as well as the top “Good” rating in the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety’s frontal-offset and side-impact testing.

Interior Design and Special Features

The Acadia’s attractive dashboard layout features sensible controls and exceptional build quality, though signs of lower-grade plastics and questionable assembly can be found. A third-row seat is standard along with second-row captain’s chairs, all of which fold flat. The optional 60/40-split second-row bench expands seating capacity to eight. Access to the third row is facilitated by the wide rear doors and a sliding second-row seat. Overall third-row roominess is pretty good as large SUVs go, though the Ford Flex does hold an edge on comfort for two adult passengers.

Maximum cargo capacity in the Acadia is an enormous 117 cubic feet available with all seats down — not quite minivan-grade, but more than enough for most consumers. There’s a respectable 24 cubic feet behind the third-row seat alone, so many hauling duties can be handled without folding any of the seats.
