I was surprised that the '17 rated it's towing capability down to 3500lbs. Not that you or I would have a problem with it but ours is rated for 5200lbs.

Not that its a big deal I was just surprised​.

Mine will never tow. I wonder if they had even more drivetrain issues? Can't be that the '17 weighs more

No, its probably more likely with the smaller size and weight reduction that there was no need for a beefy uni-body frame. So with that being said, it's more a safe guard on the vehicle itself I'd guess.

That engine and tranny is pretty solid! I think you'll be surprised how quick it will be!

Here is a pretty good comparo 2016 vs. 2017 GMC Acadia: What's the Difference? - Autotrader


You did get he v6, right?

I think this is the last month that they are building the limited Acadia's which have the '16 crossed out and sold as '17 limited.

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!! Wifey is getting excited to pick up her new ride.
I have an appointment for its first mods. Next Wednesday it gets the 3M ClearBra on the bumper, hood, mirrors, and fenders. They are also doing 3M 30% tint on the front 2 windows
