My Work horse.

I brought this truck in 2019. I kept taking it back to the dealership to get tweaked several times. Once it was figured out, never got any problems ever again. A little weak on the power side, but, other than that, its a magnificent vehicle. A total work horse. Great on gas. It is totally worth it.

Piece of s@#+

My wife had to have this vehicle. It's nothing but a piece of s@#+. The traction control is so pathetic we can't even drive it in the winter. GMC should be ashamed of putting out a vehicle like this. DONT BUY ONE. To many good cars out there.

2019 GMC Terrain review: Our expert's take

By Mike Hanley

Most vehicles get larger when redesigned, but the 2018 GMC Terrain is one of the rare ones that’s smaller than the SUV it replaces — at least externally. The Terrain and its sibling SUV, the Chevrolet Equinox, had long been two of the larger compact SUVs available, but the 2018 models are now closer in size to competitors like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. (See these four SUVs’ specs compared here.)

The new Terrain starts at $25,970, including a $975 destination charge, for a base, front-wheel-drive SL trim with the standard turbocharged gas 1.5-liter four-cylinder. I tested three versions of the SUV to experience its three available engines: an all-wheel-drive SLE with the 1.5-liter engine (as-tested price of $34,105), a front-wheel-drive SLT with the turbo-diesel 1.6-liter four-cylinder ($39,545 as-tested), and an all-wheel-drive SLT with the turbocharged gas 2.0-liter four-cylinder ($42,045 as-tested).

Exterior & Styling

Polarizing looks aren’t normally part of the compact SUV formula, but that’s what the prior GMC Terrain delivered with its bulging fenders, squared-off wheel openings and blocky front end. While the conservatively styled Equinox was designed to blend in, the Terrain stood out.

With its 2018 redesign, the Terrain trades many of its old controversial design cues for new styling elements that may be just as controversial — like boomerang-shaped headlights and floating-roof styling. Even so, the overall look is tamer and more traditional.
