Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! GMC Acadia or Kia Telluride?

[@stevetaibi320]

One thing you missed was that the driver memory seating is only offered on the Denali trim which is a HUGE miss by GM. I can almost understand leaving it off the base model but this thing is supposed to be a family vehicle so not including that on all trims vs a heads up display (which is available on all trims) is just crazy to me.

[@sbond1963]

Can somebody tell me if the differentials are serviceable?

[@johnmcmanus123]

maybe you can answer this question. with the super cruise , I was told you pay around $3400 for is and then after 3 years you have to pay for it monthly to use it and its features

[@deanreinke1148]

@@johnmcmanus123 That is correct. It’s $25 per month and I believe you have to also have Onstar. I always do a three year lease and that way I get a new vehicle every three years and a new super cruise contract.

[@deanreinke1148]

Get a v6 in that vehicle

[@topdawg78]

57k for the Denali? SHEESH

[@E.M.J.]

no window shades for a 3rd row???? 1:05 wow!!!! gm messed that one up

[@jd5179]

Gm nailed this one- great inside and out- questionable power train tho- gm is not know to have reliable power train.

[@dwnshft]

yeah this 2.5 engine is a derivative of the 2.7 in the trucks so it's been getting better and better for the last couple years. should be reasonably reliable from what ive heard

[@brotherdaveseattle2791]

No. GM makes great engines

[@brotherdaveseattle2791]

Not a trunk. Rear cargo area...

[@jd5179]

@@brotherdaveseattle2791 name 1 small engine that GM made that was reliable

"Legit" one cliche after another

[@deanreinke1148]

Engine is way too loud on acceleration. This will change my decision.

[@brotherdaveseattle2791]

Very "lux?" Huh?

[@jmn3]

I know there are critics but I really liked the 3.6 V6 and the change to the turbo 4 was a huge reason I didn’t wait to go to the new generation from my 2017. Captains chairs only in the back is a total miss. Signed - every dog who loves riding in the car! I love everything else about this refresh though!

[@dwnshft]

yeah the no-bench seat thing was a weird call to me too

[@Border-iq7we]

100% spot on with the captain chairs comment. My wife loves the look of the Acadia but the lack of a rear bench seat immediately disqualifies the Acadia for us and our dogs.

[@brotherdaveseattle2791]

Yuck.

[@wadestewart5504]

I hate the sound and feel of these 4 bangers companies are putting out. They sound harsh. And reliability of the turbos is suspect too. Stick with what works. 3.5L V6's and even a light turbo for the Denali. 350 to 370 hp is ideal. For the top trim. I mean a Kia stinger had nearly 400hp.. also agreed they need a bench for 2nd row for sure. Make it a legit 8 seater for families...

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

My zonk is the overall length of the vehicle(204"?), if it were 5" shorter it would be great.

[@dwnshft]

zonk?! is this a Raiti's ride enthusiast on a Downshift video?! Here we call them DINGS, my friend hahaha

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

@@dwnshft Yes, I have to admit I watched a lot of Raiti's videos.

[@whiz3528]

Engine is way too small, and the price is way too high. Our 2017 v-6 Acadia gets 34 mpg.

[@dwnshft]

wait it gets WHAT?!

[@matthart4465]

BS

[@ZeeMan84]

No way that’s possible

[@ZeeMan84]

Maybe you meant to say 24 mpg

[@xila8861]

4 cylinder GMC, what a joke.
