GMC is a brand well known for producing tough to the nails trucks and SUVs. Even as the truck based SUV craze started to dwindle around the 2000s, GMC kept up with their traditional rough and tough formula to produce cars that could give any 4X4 a run for its money. Recently, however, GMC received a lot of heat from old school GMC fans for deviating from the usual rugged SUV frame to the more car-like uni-body crossover structure. Considering all this, the GMC Acadia is really a breath of fresh air.
No it's not a truck based SUV; it is a uni-body crossover on paper, which means it performs more optimally on the open roads than the off road tracks of Allentown and Bethlehem. But what's not stated on the fine print is the sheer size and dominance of this SUV, which one can only appreciate when seeing this beast in real life. But just looks weren't enough to convince us, at Kelly Buick GMC, of the Acadia's toughness; how does it actually perform on the off road tracks? To answer this, we took a used GMC Acadia 2008 out for a half day off road adventure along the mountainous paths located right outside Bethlehem.
