2010 GMC Terrain Owner Discussion!

People have enjoyed the 2010 Equinox forum and it's gained a lot of Equinox owners, so lets do it with the Terrain as well. Have you bought a 2010 Terrain or have one on order?

Submit your feedback on the Terrain here!

I have one on order, I should have it in a few weeks.
It's an AWD SLE2 in Atlantic Blue w/Titanium interior + Convienience Package(Heated Seats & Remote Start), Cargo Managment Package & 3.0L V6(which requires 18" wheels). I'll be adding an aftermarket hitch so I can get one with a 2" receiver instead of the little 1" one they put on at the factory, I have an assortment of things that work with the larger receiver.

A little bit of my vehicle history:
I am finishing up a 3 year lease on an 07 Canyon (4x4 CrewCab Z71, I5 w/Auto).
It goes back to GMAC at the end of November.

The Canyon was a replacemnt for an 03 Sonoma (4x4 CrewCab Z85, V6 w/Auto) that I had on a 4 year lease.

I ordered my Terrain exactly 5 weeks ago today! I haven't heard anything from the dealership since then, but I will be calling for an update next week at the 6-week mark.

Spec-wise it's a carbon black metallic SLT-2 V6 AWD with jet black interior. As far as options I ordered it with the 19" wheels, towing package, cargo security cover and of course that special paint. I really wanted the navigation screen but up here in Canada it's a $3,345 option. Didn't add the rear DVD thing because I have no need for it.

Price including destination $40,855, plus taxes etc. Add another $1,800 to extend the base warranty to 5 years. Expensive vehicle, but to put it into perspective, the Acadia is about ten thousand more for a similar trim level.

This will be my first brand new vehicle that wasn't a lease. It will replace my 2007 GMC Sierra SLE (my first GMC vehicle after a Ford and several Jeep vehicles) 4x4 with the 5.3L. My 30 month lease isn't up until next April but my mileage is at the limit so as part of the financing they will be paying the remaining payments.

I can't wait to get the Terrain, but I am a bit worried about breaking in a new vehicle in the winter time. With the leases I had a bit of a different 'relationship' with my vehicles, but with the Terrain I want to take extra good care of it, as I will own it.

Looking forward to following this thread to see if there are any common flaws/quality issues with the Terrain.

Well, I got a text today letting me know that my Terrain was built last Thursday. Here's hopeing that I see it before Nov 23rd(last day of my Canyon's lease).

I have had a SLT2 V6 with everything except AWD & rear DVD since 09/26. Very happy with it. Averaging 17 MPH city driving

After much searching I picked up a SLE2 about a month ago
Had to drive 50 miles to get it
Great vehicle, I've owned 3 Equinox's in the past and decided whichever vehicle I found first that was built the way I wanted it I'd buy

I helped my mother-in-law purchase a jet-black SLE1 a few days ago. We're hoping that it gets delivered before Dec 31 so we can take advantage of the Federal Sales Tax rebate program, as that is based on invoice date and not 'sign the contract to get it ordered' date.

Very impressed with the value & features of the GMC verses the cheaper-feeling Chevrolet 'nox that we also test drove several models of.

She is very excited!

UPDATE: With over 1000 miles city driving on the odo it's been getting 22.5 mpg
Can't seem to tell the difference between my equinox 6cyl and this 4 cyl. except in mileage
cons: No one has asked what kind of vehicle is that yet

It looks nothing like a 2010 TERRAIN.
