Before even thinking about leaving the house for an extended stay with wildlife, make sure you’re geared up to brave the weather, unexpected disasters, and the nasty smell coming from your buddies’ tent at 3AM. We packed a Coleman Tasman XO Hybrid 3-Season sleeping bag, Camelbak Vantage 35, and REI Kingdom 4 3-Season Tent into our GMC Terrain and hit the road.
Whether it's your first time firing up the grill before a game or you have your very own decked out tailgating trailer you consider the child you never had, we've got a few suggestions to make your next trip to the stadium a classic. Our Maxim guru takes a look at the Koolatron P95 Travel Saver Cooler, Kelty Deluxe Lounge Chair, Weber Q140 Electric Grill, and, of course, an SUV that can haul your eating arrangement (and the rest of your debauchery-creating friends) in style, like the GMC Terrain.
Sit behind the wheel of this sporty hatch and you'll quickly realize you've hit the jackpot. The refined interior is more akin to a luxury ride with metallic highlights throughout, a red-stitched leather steering wheel, and a touch screen music system complete with iPod dock. Thanks to superb handling and a throaty 2.0 liter, 200 hp, turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine you'll be ready to unleash road hell at the touch of the throttle. And just think, all this while your keister is comfortably cradled in a heated seat.
Drive a loaded GMC Terrain and you might feel like you’re rocking an Escalade, thanks to a teched-out feature list that includes a backup camera standard, two independent seatback DVD screens, Bluetooth phone connectivity, OnStar navigation, and our favorite, a programmable power liftgate, which is useful when your hands are full, with a 2-year-old, say, or four cases of beer (more likely).
