GMC Hummer EV SUV

We believe the Hummer EV SUV is the best SUV in the world and with good reasons. The AWD happens with two or three motors. You’ll get 830 hp for plenty of power and up to 11,500 lb-ft of near-instantaneous torque. Plus, the weight of this super SUV will help this new vehicle maintain traction.

GMC Yukon or Yukon XL

The GMC Yukon or Yukon XL offers a massive 5.3L V8 or 6.2L V8 engine along with an AWD drivetrain. The Yukon XL provides more cargo volume than its little sibling. Either SUV gives you a Traction Select System based on the conditions in which you drive, including snow. There are also numerous advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers safe on Frankfort roads.

GMC Acadia

Smaller than the Yukon, the GMC Acadia gives you AWD in higher trims thanks to the 3.6L V6 engine and seating for up to seven people. Take advantage of Active Torque Control when you want extra pulling power based on the situation.
