Two New in Your Garage

One new car in your driveway is common, but two at once, why not? Perhaps you won the lottery, inherited Aunt Matilda’s estate or you’re tired of ever-growing repair bills on the current fleet, what fulfills your needs? We dream.

Gmc Denali 2500

With your newfound wealth, you bought a 30foot catamaran and prefer to tow it to various bays and lakes. We found the perfect tow vehicle, the GMC Sierra Denali 2500 crew cab. It’s a whopper, at almost 21-feet long and over 6 1/2 – ft tall, so you may have to modify the garage to get it inside. The massive grille takes up the entire front acreage, slab sides with a bed step and folding running boards complete the concierge service. You’ll want to equip this beast with the MultiPro Tailgate too, a genius invention.

The interior is nicer than most living rooms. Leather appointments throughout the cabin with airplane-style controls - buttons, switches and displays will really impress the neighbors - all of it positioned in just the right spot. The big infotainment screen is what you’d expect in this towing and hauling masterpiece.

The Duramax diesel gives you all the confidence needed to tow up to 9 tons with its 445-horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. torque.

Our top-of-the-line Denali starts at $74,995.

MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300

With the boat in the water, it’s time now for some nerve-calming luxury and a quick run to the grocery for supplies.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is a sweet little SUV that slots in the middle of the brand’s SUV lineup, and it’s also the top seller.

Although the size and shape of this small SUV hasn’t changed much, we think it’s a great size. Its snappy grille is a giveaway that the 300 has a little more to offer this year including an upgraded infotainment system and a mild hybrid powertrain.

Now, you may not like its optional pinstriped dash, we do, and it’s attractively designed too. Attention to interior details is top-notch with a color palate to match.

The new GLC 300’s power source is one to tout - a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, mild hybrid. No, not a plug-in or full electric, just a helper. Output is 258-horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. torque delivered through a 9-speed automatic transmission in either 2 or 4-wheel drive. Mileage is an impressive 26-MPG.

Pricing starts at $47,100.
