2011 GMC Terrain | Small SUV | StabiliTrak for Vehicle Safety

Bret Dick, Performance Integration Engineer for 10 years, helped develop StabiliTrak on the GMC Terrain Small SUV. StabiliTrak detects when there is loss of control of the vehicle and helps the driver with applying brakes and even cut engine power to guide the driver in the direction they want to go. StabiliTrak uses a steering angle sensor, yaw sensor, and lateral accelerometer wheel speed sensors, with the hydraulic brake pump to assist the driver in quick situations. This technology helps make the Terrain a safe vehicle and in Bret's words, save lives. For information go to http://www.gmc.com/terrain/features-specs/options.html.

2013 GMC Terrain Acceleration Test
2013 Terrain's New V-6 Proves Itself on Test Track New 3.6L has more power and more torque, same fuel efficiency 2012-06-21 DETROIT -- When the 2013 Terrain goes on sale later this year, its optional 3.6L V-6 will make it the quickest, most powerful iteration yet of GMC's small SUV. After final testing, engineers confirm the new engine delivers 0-60 mph acceleration in 6.7 seconds. "Straight-line acceleration to 60 in under seven seconds is a great proof point for the 2013 Terrain, but the benefit this engine upgrade has for drivers goes much deeper," said Essy Ipakchian, lead development engineer for the Terrain. "They'll notice improved passing power with fewer downshifts, as well as stronger towing performance." The SAE-certified 301-horsepower, 3.6L engine uses technologies like direct injection and continuously variable valve timing to deliver power and torque gains accompanied by EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings that are equal to its predecessor -- 17/24 mpg for front-drive models and 16/23 mpg when paired with Terrain's all-wheel drive system. Torque output is rated at 272 lb-ft, a gain of 22.5 percent. Towing capacity for the Terrain V-6 is rated at 3,500 pounds. "This new 2013 Terrain engine delivers the uncompromised performance our customers desire," said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. "It's the most powerful V-6 the brand has ever produced, and our engineers deserve credit for achieving that without sacrificing fuel economy." Terrain's 3.6L engine replaces the current 3.0L V-6 in the third quarter of 2012 with the arrival of 2013 models. It will be available as a standalone, $1,500 option on SLE-2, SLT-1, and SLT-2 models. For the all-new 2013 Terrain Denali luxury small SUV, the V-6 will be a $1,750 option that also includes upgraded 19-inch chrome-clad wheels. GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, and is one of the industry's healthiest brands. Innovation and engineering excellence is built into all GMC vehicles and the brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. GMC is the only manufacturer to offer three full-size hybrid trucks with the Yukon, Yukon Denali SUVs and the Sierra pickup. The new Sierra Heavy Duty pickups are the most capable and powerful trucks in the market. Details on all GMC models are available at http://www.gmc.com/, on Twitter at @thisisgmc or at http://www.facebook.com/gmc.
