Default New daily driver

After over 10 weeks of waiting, we just picked this up for our new family vehicle





Which means that this is now my daily driver


Which means that in a couple of weeks the truck is going on a little vacation.

Acadia, huh? FWIW, that is a national park here in Maine located on Mount Desert Island. Looks like a pretty cool suv. What kind of drivetrain layout does that have? The wife and I have been eyeballing the new Mazda CX-7s for a while now. Soooo, what are the plans for the truck?

The Acadia's drivetrain is a 3.6L V6, 275hp, 250 LB-ft of torque, 6 speed auto with manumatic mode, and AWD which is normally FWD until it senses slip. As far as driving it, it's a bit of a slouch in normal automatic mode, but not bad in manumatic. Redline is 7K

Truck is getting sent to my dad's shop to get all the stuff in the sig installed. It'll be the first time my truck is torn into with out me

Outside it's almost as big as a Tahoe, and much bigger inside. It's definately not small.
