Hail to the LGX!

Okay, not a Camaro, but my Acadia Denali has the LGX. Has the trailering package for up to 4000lbs, for a nearly 9000lb GVW w/trailer. Just drove 1350 miles Detroit to S FL towing this UHaul 6x12 double-axle (2k lb empty wt), with probably 1500lbs of stuff in it, plus another 500lbs of stuff in the back of the truck. No problem doing the speed limits all the way, including the hills in KY, TN, GA. The LGX never strained, AND, I got 17.5 MPG for the trip! The hardest part was staying out of the left lane unless absolutely necessary to pass (I'm usually the guy doing 80+ in the left lane...I'm from MI where if you're not doing 75 in the slow lane you're getting run over!). I was regretting doing this when they hooked that rig up and I saw the size, and figured I'd be doing 55 all the way, but just wow! (BTW, it's Dark Sky, AKA Shadow Gray Metallic. Wanted Satin Steel but this was too good to pass up when I bought it).

Good looking suv. I really like my lgx manual in satin steel metallic. My best tank full mpg is 29.1 using 93 octane. Were you using 87?.

I have a 2020 AT4 with LGX in that color. Lots of power but horrendous crappy throttle response. Gonna have to invest in a range type device someday.

Yep, 87. I normally get around 21-22 avg DD'ing. Was shocked I got 17.5 pulling that trailer at 70.
