GMC Acadia 1st Generation

20072016 · Lambda · suv

First-generation Acadia on GM's Lambda platform (siblings: Chevy Traverse, Saturn Outlook, Buick Enclave). Single engine: 3.6L LY7/LLT V6 (275-288 hp) early; 3.6L LFX V6 (288-310 hp) from 2013. 6-speed 6T75 automatic. FWD or AWD. Eight-passenger seating (seven with captain's chairs).

Watch out: 3.6L LLT/LY7 timing-chain stretch on pre-2012 builds is the main engine concern — symptoms include P0008/P0009 codes and rough idle; $1,500-$3,000 repair. Steering rack failures and water-pump leaks are also common.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
