Any engine upgrades available for the Buick Enclave?

It isn’t the worst job in the world. Time consuming yes, dash can be torn down to accessible components in about an hour.

not bad, the hvac actuators will be back in service in no time. As mentioned, not being able to defrost the windshield is not a joke--it's needed and a safety issue

On good day in the best conditions maybe I could get 20 mpg on our Enclave. Average was probably around 16-18 mpg which is about the same as my 5.3 Yukon XL before it. The big difference is my wife hated driving the Yukon so Enclave was a better option. Not everyone likes driving big trucks/SUVs.

This is exactly why we got an Enclave new, in 2011. I actually was "afraid" to go body on frame. Which is what we've done in 2025. When I was given a Tahoe loaner car, right away I said, hmmm....more powerful, a little less cargo, and same or better fuel economy? Then when I got the 2016 Suburban loaner, I said dang, better fuel economy than the Enclave? And it was in auto, not 2WD.
