I searched the boards and found one thread, but it was a bit old and I'm curious to hear new opinions, and to see if any have changed.
I'm about to order an Ascent - but I'm down to Touring versus Limited.
From what I've discovered, the following are *only* available on the Touring, and can't be added to the Limited via "upgrades":
Rain sensing wipers
120 volt outlet
Cooled front seats
Front camera
Smart mirror
smart rearview camera
upgraded steering wheel
Cosmetic finishes inside / outside (chrome, wood, etc. - I don't really care about those particular cosmetics either way)
Also - still only the brown leather in the Touring. I'm just...not in love with the brown. I know some love it, but I'm not sold yet. I'm sure it would grow on me if I go with Touring. And there is always the crazy option of "have a custom shop put in whatever you want"! (Kidding. Kind of. I wonder how much that would cost...)
I'm coming from my much loved 2007 GMC Acadia, dark grey with the ivory leather, and even though that ivory is starting to show its age, I still love it
Configured as I would order them, I have my Touring at $47, 836 and my Limited at $45,236.
I just came back from driving a Touring model, and loved it.
I probably should also have jumped in a Limited, but I was short on time - so I'm trying to figure out how the rear cameras differ. And I understand the front camera thing isn't available on the Limited.
What has everyone decided? Are you happy with that?
Originally I was going to wait for the 2020s to see if some additional options were available for the Limited (I'd really like black or grey leather....), but circumstances have changed and I can't really wait another year to buy a new car.
If it matters, I drive cars until they stop working, so resale doesn't really matter to me. Long term happiness does though!
Thanks in advance for any / all input! :smile:
