2008 GMC Acadia SLT-1
The 2008 GMC Acadia SLT-1 trim adds a lot more comfort and convenience features. In addition to a full power setup, remote entry, cruise control, heated mirrors, front and rear intermittent wipers, and a compass and temperature display, this front-wheel drive crossover gives you a 6-way power driver's seat and 2-way power passenger seat, a trip computer, tri-zone climate control, and a garage opener. Leather upholstery and trim give a plusher feel to the interior. A 6-CD changer features wheel-mounted controls and a 10-speaker sound system and comes with new satellite radio and an MP3 audio input jack. There are cupholders for all three rows.
Unlike the SLE-1, the 2008 Acadia SLT-1 seats seven, because the second row comes with captain's chairs that get their own center storage console. The front armrest storage console is 60 cubic inches. Eight-passenger seating is available with an optional bench. Both rear rows fold flat and split-fold 60/40, expanding cargo space to 117 cubic feet. The second row seats slide three inches front and back. A long rear passenger door opens wide for easy access. In the SLT-1, the second row gets its own climate controls. The cargo space features under-floor storage and tie-downs and can be outfitted with a cover and net. Aluminum roof rails expand storage versatility. More available options for the SLT-1 include a power lifgate.
On the safety front, the 2008 Acadia SLT-1 adds mirrors with turn signals and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Already included are traction and stability control, rollover sensors, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, passenger airbag deactivation, and dual front-side and side curtain airbags for all rows. The 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires come with a tire monitor. 19-inch wheels are available. Foglights, automatic halogen headlamps, and daytime running lights are also standard. A 3.6-liter DOHC V6 gets 275-hp and 251 ft-lbs of torque at 3200 RPM. A 6-speed shiftable automatic is the only transmission. A navigation system, heads-up dash display, and a two-panel sunroof (front tilts and slides, rear panel is fixed) are upgraded options for the SLT-1. Other extras include a DVD player with wireless headphones and a Bose surround-sound system.
2008 GMC Acadia SLT-1 AWD
Although it already comes well equipped with a host of four-star safety features, including traction and stability control, rollover sensors, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, and dual front-side and side curtain airbags for all three rows of this crossover SUV, the 2008 GMC Acadia SLT-1 AWD adds extra security with its automatic all-wheel drive system. It apportions torque when it senses slippage, though it defaults to front-wheel drive. It is not intended for off-roading since it lacks low-range gearing, but it does come with a limited slip center differential.
A 275-hp, 3.6-liter DOHC V6 powers the 2008 Acadia SLT-1 AWD, along with a 6-speed shiftable automatic. Fuel economy averages 16/22 and the SUV can tow up to 4500 pounds with the optional tow package. Other standard safety features include mirrors with turn signals, foglights, automatic halogen lamps, and a tire monitor for the 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires. Optional 19-inch wheels cost extra.
The 2008 GMC Acadia SLT-1 AWD doesn't forget to focus on its passengers. Full power features include a 6-way power driver and 2-way power passenger seat, remote entry, a garage opener, and power windows, locks, and heated mirrors. Cruise control and audio controls for the 6-CD/MP3 player reside on the wheel. Other standard features include front and rear intermittent wipers, tri-zone climate control, leather upholstery and trim, an audio input jack, and satellite radio. On the dash sit a trip computer, tachometer, temperature readout, and compass. A heads-up display can be added, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road.
