Looked at a GMC Terrain today as a possible towed. Very impressive little car with a lot of features for the money.
I have never even heard of this vehicle before so I'm asking any of you with any info, good or bad, to let me know.
Hope all have a great Thanksgiving. We all have much to be thankful for.

There is a current recall on the Terrain and Equinox for the tire sensors aren't working correctly with the dash display to indicate warnings for low tire pressures. I haven't seen one in person, but hope it will do everything the 2011 CR-V did and be quiet at the same time over the road. TWI 2004 intrigue 11731

Tom,

Had the same problem with my '05 CRV (which I still use). A tire change will resolve the problem. At 60,000 miles I switched to the Goodyear Assurance. 85% of the road noise is gone.

That's what I put on my Odessey, but the older they get the noise starts to return. They are now 3 years old with 44,000 miles.

George,

We have been towing a 2010 Chevy Equinox since they came out. We got one of the first base plates that Roadmaster released. The car is a little gem that we love to drive. I got the 4 cylinder and have been very satisfied with the power. I have been completely happy with the car it has all the bells and whistles. The Terrain is GMC version and Caddy makes SRX, all three make fine tow cars!

Vick,

Sounds good, appreciate your response. What kind of MPG are you getting? This one is rated 32 highway which would really be nice.

Happy turkey day.

George,

Sorry I did not mean to send. I like the fact you only have to pull one fuse when towing.
