As spring arrives, it is an excellent time to schedule GMC service. Let spring be your reminder that it is time to rid your vehicle of the effects of winter weather and prepare for sunnier days ahead. The GM-certified technicians at Lester Glenn Buick GMC in Toms River, NJ, can handle all your service needs. Schedule an appointment today. 

Oil and Filter Change
Regular oil and filter changes contribute to fuel efficiency and keep your engine free from contaminants. Cold winter weather brings road salt and sand, which can clog filters and impede vehicle performance. Set up a schedule for necessary services and stick to it. Keeping to a service schedule will keep your GMC running smoothly.

Battery Testing
Cold weather can take a toll on battery performance and diminish the charge level. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road in hotter weather because of a dead battery. Schedule a battery check as spring arrives so our technicians can check the battery charge, cables, and connections to keep you on the road.

Brake Inspection
Brakes are an essential part of keeping you safe on the road. Your brake system comprises several components, including rotors, calipers, and pads. Excessive wear can put your safety at risk and affect performance. When you schedule service, our technicians will thoroughly inspect and recommend any needed repairs or replacements.

Replenish Fluids
Your car relies on several different fluids to run efficiently. The brake, transmission, power steering, and windshield wiper fluids should remain full. As part of our service, we will replenish or change all your vehicle fluids at your scheduled appointment time.

Small jobs or big jobs, the 2024 GMC Sierra lineup can handle them all. GMC covers the gamut of towing and hauling capability, from the light-duty GMC Sierra 1500 to a diverse selection of heavy-duty trucks. Lester Glenn Buick GMC is summarizing the capabilities of our three most popular models.  

2024 GMC Sierra 1500
The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is a light-duty truck sufficient for many drivers’ day-to-day needs. This trim can haul anything up to a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 lbs and support a payload of 2,240 lbs when properly equipped. Whether you’re a contractor or a weekend warrior, it does not disappoint.

2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 HD can handle larger loads, with a maximum towing capacity of 22,070 lbs and a payload of 4,178 lbs. Whether you’re towing a camper, a chip trailer, or a skid steer loader, this truck makes light work of it.

2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
The impressive towing capability of the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD allows you to haul massive multi-car trailers, fifth-wheel campers, gooseneck flatbed trailers, and large livestock carriers. It supports a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 lbs and a payload of up to 7,442 lbs, allowing you to complete the toughest workload.

What’s the Catch?
Good question. There are two. First, each truck has multiple towing and hauling capabilities depending on how it’s outfitted; maximum capacities and certain applications (like a gooseneck trailer) require specific configurations and tow packages you should discuss with your GMC dealer. Second – and this is true of every truck – you cannot tow and haul the truck’s maximum capacities simultaneously; each has to be deducted from the other.

Find Great GMC Trucks in Toms River, NJ
To understand the trim levels and engine choices across the lineup, we invite you to visit our Toms River, NJ, GMC dealership. Experience GMC Sierra trucks’ capabilities and see what you have been missing. We are eager to show you your new work truck today!

The 2024 GMC Acadia is different – for the better – for the new model year. Many former optional features are now standard, and the body is taller, longer, and wider to provide a more spacious and enjoyable experience. Add the single, more powerful engine configuration for 2024 versus two less-powerful offerings in 2023, and you will see why the 2024 GMC Acadia is the best choice. Let Lester Glenn Buick GMC show you what is better about the new GMC Acadia. 

Powertrain
For 2024, the GMC Acadia is offered with a single, more powerful engine than the 2023 version, which offered two engine choices but provided less power. The new GMC Acadia has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Offering 328 horses and 326 lb-ft of torque, it outperforms the 2023 model by 100 horses over the four-cylinder and 18 more than the six-cylinder configuration, which is no longer available.

Performance and Capabilities
Front-wheel drive is standard, with available all-wheel drive should you prefer more extreme off-road adventures. The 2024 GMC Acadia carries a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs when equipped with the optional towing package, and if you’re curious about storage you’ll be happy to learn that minimum cargo space is now 23 cubic feet, almost double the 12.8 cubic feet in the outgoing model.

Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2024 GMC Acadia comes with many standard safety and driver assistance features. Every GMC Acadia features automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist as standard in both model years. But, for 2024, adaptive cruise control is now standard as well.

Infotainment and Connectivity
New for 2024, every GMC Acadia comes with a 12-speaker BOSE® stereo system and a 15-inch display that was not part of the standard offering for the previous model year. Of course, all the usual tech advancements are still standard.

Overloading your highly capable GMC truck can have some hefty repercussions. Like the posted speed limit, which indicates the maximum speed at which it is safe to drive, your GMC truck’s towing capacity indicates how much weight it is safe to pull. Lester Glenn Buick GMC explains the consequences of exceeding your vehicle’s tow rating.

What Happens if You Overload Your Truck?
In short, nothing good. Exceeding your tow capacity taxes every one of your vehicle’s systems and ultimately makes driving hazardous. The consequences include:

• Engine overheating, even for trucks with advanced engine and oil cooling features
• Damage to the suspension system
• Longer stopping distances and an increased danger of jackknifing if you have to stop suddenly
• Potential frame damage
• A higher risk of brake damage and blowouts

How to Determine Towing Capacity
Calculating a truck or SUV’s weight rating is a complex formula that includes your vehicle’s curb weight, frame strength, axle weights, and cargo weight. Before you reach for a calculator, we’ll give you two more accessible ways to find your vehicle’s limits.

The first is to use a VIN lookup tool that will give you most of your vehicle’s vital statistics. The other method is to check the driver’s side door jamb, where you’ll find a label with your vehicle’s VIN, GCWR, GVWR, axle weights, payload, and tow capacity. Trailers will have a similar tag either on the tongue near the hitch or in one of the wheel wells; don’t exceed their capabilities either.

Learn More About the Towing Capability of Your GMC Truck in Toms River, NJ
Knowledge is power, and knowing the guidelines and towing capacities of your GMC truck can help extend the life of your vehicle. Each GMC truck has specific towing capacity limits. Learn more at our Toms River GMC dealership today!

Towing capacity is also plentiful on other trim combinations; your GMC dealer will outline your chosen configuration’s capabilities.

Today’s GMC vehicles have a three-year / 36,000-mile basic and five-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. If you’re reaching the mileage or time limit of those warranties, it’s time to visit Lester Glenn Buick GMC for GMC service. We’ll ensure your vehicle is in tip-top shape before the warranty expires. 

Scheduled Maintenance
Following the maintenance schedule for your GMC or Buick vehicle is the best way to ensure its longevity, and you should adhere to it even – or especially – once the warranty’s up. Consider a “fresh” oil and filter change before your warranty expires, allowing our service technicians to complete the usual periodic maintenance while giving you confidence your vehicle will last for years beyond the warranty expiration.

Schedule A Thorough Inspection
While you’re covering the service essentials, ask for a thorough multi-point inspection. Our technicians will go over the vehicle’s vital systems, identifying items that need care. Some of these will be consumables that aren’t covered by your warranty, but we’ll also ensure that any warranted items are identified and addressed.

• Powertrain condition and function, including engine and transmission checks
• Suspension inspection
• Checking belts and hoses for premature wear
• Braking inspection
• Battery health
• Electrical and HVAC system checks
• Fluid leaks

A note about maintenance: one reason (among many) that we suggest using a GM service center and OEM parts is that your parts and labor are covered in the rare event that something goes wrong. If we see that a component has failed prematurely, we can address it. However, if you’ve used aftermarket parts or had them installed by an unauthorized service center, we are not obligated to do so.

Schedule GMC Service in Toms River, NJ
Being proactive by scheduling your service at our Toms River GMC dealership will ensure your vehicle is in the best shape possible before your warranty expires. Visit us online or in-person to schedule your appointment today!
