GMC is renowned for producing some of the finest pickup trucks in the industry, celebrated for their remarkable power and speed, capable of towing nearly anything with ease. Now, the introduction of new driving features promises to make long journeys smoother.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been a staple driving feature in GMC vehicles since 2017, initially appearing in models like the GMC Acadia and GMC Yukon. Since then, ACC has undergone significant advancements and is poised to become a standard feature on twice as many trims of the 2025 GMC Sierra compared to its 2024 counterparts.
But what exactly is Adaptive Cruise Control? Unlike traditional cruise control systems where the driver sets a fixed speed and the vehicle maintains it until manually adjusted, ACC operates differently. It automatically adjusts the cruising speed based on the following distance selected by the driver. This means that if the vehicle detects another car ahead, it will adjust its speed accordingly, maintaining a safe distance as determined by the driver’s preset gap setting. When there are no vehicles ahead, your GMC vehicle will resume cruising at the previously set speed. This feature proves invaluable during long drives, alleviating stress associated with constant speed adjustments, merging, and changes in traffic flow.
Drive Modes – A Standard 2024 Feature
Many GMC models come equipped with a diverse range of driving modes – preset configurations designed to conquer any terrain and assist in towing heavy loads. The Driver Mode Control/Traction Select System empowers you to select the ideal mode to suit changing road conditions, even while on the move.
Different models offer various drive modes. For instance, the 2024 GMC Canyon includes Normal Mode, Off-Road Mode, Terrain Mode, Tow/Haul Mode, and Baja Mode. Across the GMC lineup, additional modes such as Sport Mode, AWD Mode, Snow/Ice Mode, My Mode, Z Mode/V Mode, Track Mode, and Weather Mode are available. Each mode is tailored to enhance your driving experience, whether navigating long journeys, adverse weather conditions, closed tracks, or off-road landscapes. With these capabilities, you can confidently and efficiently traverse any path ahead.
