#1 – GMC Canyon

The 2022 GMC Canyon offers a nice option between full-size and compact pickup truck options. Perfect for first-time drivers, this midsize pickup truck offers ease and accessibility while also providing many of the features of a full-sized pickup. The 2022 Canyon’s standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine provides adequate power without costing you a fortune at the gas pump, but the optional 3.6L V6 and 2.8L Duramax diesel really take things to the next level. For someone who is an avid outdoorsman, the Canyon is capable of towing a best-in-class 7,700 pounds, with a payload capacity of up to 1,570 pounds, making it ideally suited for any hunting, fishing, or hiking activities you may enjoy.

For any first-time buyer, safety should always be a top concern. Available safety features include forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and rear park assist to make every drive as safe as possible. At Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth, we care about your driving experience. We also understand that buying a new vehicle is stressful. The last thing you want to do is have to worry about repairs. GMC’s limited 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and complimentary maintenance service for the first year of ownership have you covered so that you walk out of our dealerships with not just a brand-new GMC but also peace of mind.

#2 – GMC Terrain

The 2022 Terrain is sleek, affordable option in the compact SUV category. What’s nice about the Terrain is that it holds tremendous versatility. Its spacious interior is designed to comfortably fit four adults, meaning that traveling for family activities will be relaxing and comfortable. On the flip side of that coin, if you are riding solo, the 2022 Terrain offers 63.3 cubic feet of storage space with the backseats folded down, making it an optimal choice for life on the open road. It is extremely rare to find this combination of sportsman capability in combination with family appeal in one single SUV.

The GMC Terrain comes equipped with a 170-horsepower 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that cranks out 203 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a 9-speed transmission to provide an optimal blend of power and smooth shifting capabilities for maximum fuel efficiency. All in all, the 2022 GMC Terrain is a mashup of a visually attractive exterior design with a versatile and rugged powertrain making it suitable for almost any task or driving conditions. Additionally, the 2022 Terrain earned a top 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. Like any of our GMC models, it comes with a limited 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and complimentary maintenance service for the first year of ownership.

#3 – GMC Sierra 1500

For the rugged outdoorsman, we would recommend the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. This is the flagship truck of the GMC brand for good reason. While the standard Pro trim level is more than capable of fulfilling your driving needs, we recommend the slightly more expensive SLT trim. This is because, for a small upgrade in price, it comes with a lot more options, which only increases the truck’s versatility. If you’re someone in the market for all the things a half-ton pickup can do, versatility in design is exactly what you need. With the SLT trim, you will also get a standard 5.3L V8 engine instead of the base 2.7L Turbo. Whether you’re a long-distance driver, a heavy-duty trucker that tows a boat, utility trailers, RVs, or something in between, this is an engine that will work for you.

The interior of the Sierra 1500 is filled with easy-to-use technology that takes all of the guesswork and discomfort out of its use. Additionally, in the SLT trim, you get the feeling of luxury unlike any truck you’ve ever driven before. Dual-zone automatic temperature control, a heated steering wheel, push button ignition, a 13.4-inch touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat make every drive feel like a luxury experience. This truck is a real head-turner too, with available 20-inch alloy wheels, extended trailering mirrors, LED lighting in the cargo bed, and even a 120 Volt outlet installed directly into the cargo bed itself, making this beauty look every bit as dependable and luxurious as it is.

#4 – 2022 GMC Yukon

The 2022 GMC Yukon is the most recognizable SUV in the GMC family. The Yukon takes a best of both worlds approach by combining all of the power and towing capabilities of a full-sized truck with all the comfort and cargo space of an SUV. Keeping in line with their Sierra 1500 series, the Yukon has multiple engine options depending on the trim package. Drivers can choose from a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8, or a 3.0L turbo diesel inline-6. Its ability to both tow as well as full-sized trucks and its smooth feel on the roads earned the 2022 Yukon a prestigious Editor’s Choice award from Car and Driver. If towing power is your aim, we would recommend the 3.0L Turbodiesel as it is the most powerful of the options, cranking out an impressive 460 pound-feet of torque at low RPMs.

Third-row seating, leather upholstery, a wood-trimmed dashboard, and a power sliding center console are just some of the perks available, depending on the trim you select. There is an astounding 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded down, which makes the Yukon perfect for camping, hiking, or any activities that require the hauling of lots of gear or the towing of heavy equipment. The integrated infotainment system, WiFi hotspot, and optional Bose audio system are all nice customizable perks that add more versatility and function to an already exceptional SUV. Upgrading to the super lavish Denali trim will offer everything mentioned above, plus bigger wheels, upgraded leather seats, and other perks to truly put you in the driver’s seat on the road to happiness.
