2024 GMC Truck Terrain

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Terrain.

The 2024 GMC Terrain enters its model year with a relatively contained reliability footprint — 47 owner complaints, a single recall, and a powertrain tilt that accounts for the leading share of those filings. That 2024 figure sits at the quietest end of the nameplate's recorded arc, which from 2010 through 2018 ranged from a peak of 397 complaints in 2011 to a low of 133 in 2017. For researchers, the powertrain concentration is worth flagging as a recurring thread, while the 2011 high and 2017 floor underscore just how uneven the Terrain's reliability record has been across its documented years.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2024 GMC Truck Terrain lead in one area — the power train, 13 of 47 reports (28%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 1 recall campaigns target the power train, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the power train pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
