2009 GMC Acadia Questions & Answers

  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Acadia towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Acadia's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 Acadia’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
