Just though I would share the long term ownership of my wife's 2014 GMC Terrain 3.6.
She bought it new on Sept 13/14 with 33km on it. Dark metallic grey with the chrome package, basically 18" chrome wheels, and chrome trim all around. Started with getting all service work(oil changes and checkovers)done at the dealership we bought it from. 2 times they overfilled the oil but brought it back and they adjusted to proper level. They did all service up to 75251km, then I started to, no reason other then to save some money.
I did get some extra service done there, AWD service(fluid change), fuel injector service, alignment, coolant change and 1 brake fluid change. At 80108km I replaced one of the power steering hoses(pump to rack) and fluid flush, and at 92810km replaced the rear pads. Don't know why they wore out faster then the fronts.
That is all that has been repaired on the vehicle. Vehicle now has 97000+km. On its second set of summer tires. Replaced the Michelin Latitude tours with Motomaster Hydraedge touring at 90354km. Liked the Michelins but the cracking on the sidewall just below the tread was getting really bad, lots of tread left though. The motomaster tires I really like, quiet, smooth, a little softer but a nice highway tire. Dose what they are supposed to do and couldn't beat the price at the time. $650Cdn, mount/balance, with 5 yr full road hazard warranty. 235 45 R18. Have Altamax Arctic for winter on 17" rims. Love them.
Vehicle gets mid 20's mpg. Worst 19, best tick under 30, usually 21-25.
Up to 75000km, got GM oil. Now it gets whatever synthetic is on sale, usually Motomaster synthetic and a FRAM PH10575 on a 5000km interval. Dose not leak or burn any. Airfilter change at 25000km(FRAM), CAF when I remember to change it.
We just use this for our holiday or long range vehicle or if one of the other cars need to be worked on.
That is really it over the 7 years we have had it. Going to be doing the spark plugs this month and serpentine belt. Due for another brake flush and will do the tranny service at GM before 100,000km.
This has been so far a very reliable, comfortable and capable vehicle for us. Can tow my sled(s), father inlaws fishing boat, my small trailer. Only real gripe I have is that not much storage in hatch area, but it is just the 2 of us and our dog, we make stuff fit.
