What Is the GMC Trailering Package?

While the new GMC SUV lineup still features many 2026 models, the 2027 models are starting to arrive on showroom floors. There are some notable changes to the new models. Rick Weaver GMC shares what you can expect as the 2027 models arrive. GMC Terrain You can currently purchase the 2027 GMC Terrain. The compact SUV has one key change from the 2026 model year. It’s no longer available with a CVT transmission from previous generations. It now features an eight-speed automatic transmission on each of its models instead. This is the case for front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models. Other than minor package changes, it stays pretty much the same. GMC Acadia The 2027 GMC Acadia is arriving at dealerships now. The midsize SUV also remains largely unchanged, although it’s now available with an AT4 Reserve Package. The package has many standout features such as heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, and a 16-speaker Bose® Performance audio system. The 2027 model is also available with new exterior paint colors, including Ink and Trailstone Green Metallic. Should You Wait for 2027 GMC Models?

There is so much to love about every truck in the GMC lineup. As a GMC Sierra dealer, we often have buyers ask if they should get the full-size truck or consider the midsize GMC Canyon. Rick Weaver GMC outlines each option. Power The 2026 GMC Canyon uses a TurboMax™ 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to deliver up to 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The GMC Sierra 1500 also comes with the same robust engine. However, it’s available with three additional options if you want even more power: 5.3-liter V8 engine: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque Duramax® 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque 6.2-liter V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque Capabilities If you need serious towing power, the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 is the better fit. With the available turbo-diesel engine, it can tow up to 13,300 lbs when properly equipped. The GMC Canyon also has a notable 7,700-lb max towing capacity. Size As a midsize truck, the 2026 GMC Canyon is quite a bit smaller than the full-size GMC Sierra 1500. While it's still powerful, its smaller size makes it more fuel-efficient. The midsize truck is also easier to maneuver and park. If you prioritize efficiency and agility, consider the GMC Canyon. Off-Road-Ready Both of these trucks are adept for off-road adventures. However, some drivers prefer a smaller size when they’re off-roading, because it can be easier to get through tight spots and trails. They also have a tighter turning radius and better angles. That could make the 2026 GMC Canyon a better fit for drivers who leave the road behind. Explore Our New GMC Trucks in Erie, PA Each of these GMC trucks are excellent options. You just have to decide what you need out of your next truck. Visit Rick Weaver GMC to explore both models and compare them with a test drive!

Is a new car on your list of supplies for the new school season? Have you considered one of our used cars in Erie, PA? Rick Weaver GMC outlines why used SUVs are great for going back to school. More Affordable New vehicles can be a major expense, especially when you’re adding an additional vehicle to your household. A pre-owned vehicle can help you minimize the expense. In fact, some used vehicles can cost thousands less than a new vehicle, while still having many of the same modern features. Plus, many GMC vehicles cruise past the 200,000-mile mark with proper maintenance, so there is still plenty of life left to live in a pre-owned model. Proactively Safe A used GMC SUV doesn’t just protect your new driver in the event of a collision. It can actually keep them from getting in one altogether. Depending on your model and model year, your next used GMC SUV could include advanced safety features, including: Buckle to Drive Teen Driver Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Zone Steering Assist Rear Cross Traffic Braking Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Flexible Cabin If your student is starting college, they’ll certainly benefit from the flexible space of a used GMC SUV.
