OAKES GMC • SERVING JOPLIN & THE TRI-STATE AREA • PROFESSIONAL GRADE
Joplin sits where Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma meet, and families here cross those lines routinely — work in one state, school sports in another, weekends somewhere else entirely. That pattern asks a lot of a three-row SUV: highway composure on I-44 and I-49, enough cargo room for whatever the weekend involves, and interior comfort that holds up past the first hour.
Second-row legroom measures 41.45 inches on every Acadia trim, and the third row offers 32.1 inches with 48.6 inches of hip room. In a segment where the third row is often an afterthought, the Acadia’s rear seats are usable for actual adults on a drive to Springfield or Tulsa.
23 cubic feet behind the third row handles a full grocery run with all seven seats occupied. Drop the third row and you have 57.3 cubic feet. Fold both rear rows and the Acadia opens to 97.5 cubic feet — enough for a dorm move or a weekend of camping gear.
GMC Pro Safety comes standard on all four Acadia trims: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator. No trim-climbing required to get the full active safety baseline.
GMC gives every 2027 Acadia the same turbocharged 2.5L inline-four: 328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque, 8-speed automatic. For the Joplin driver who climbs out of the Spring River valley or merges onto I-44 with a full load of passengers, that torque peak at 3,500 RPM is the number that matters more than peak horsepower.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy — 2027 GMC Acadia
Front-Wheel Drive: 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG on a 19.3-gallon tank.
All-Wheel Drive: 20 city / 23 highway / 21 combined MPG on a larger 21.7-gallon tank, which offsets much of the efficiency difference in total driving range.
Southwest Missouri drivers who split time between town and the interstate generally find the FWD configuration the better everyday match. Those running gravel county roads or towing regularly tend toward AWD or the AT4.

The 2027 Acadia offers seven exterior finishes, with three of them restricted by trim. If a particular color is driving your decision, it is worth confirming trim compatibility before you commit — Trailstone Green Metallic is Elevation-only, while Ink and Glacier White Tricoat require a Denali or Denali Ultimate:

We regularly work with buyers from all three states around Joplin, and the title and registration paperwork is handled in-house as a matter of routine rather than a complication:
Buying from Kansas or Oklahoma? The documentation is handled from the first conversation.
Our finance team structures tri-state deals accounting for your home state’s tax, title, and registration requirements up front — not as a surprise at the end. Kansas and Oklahoma buyers in the Joplin metro go through the same process as Missouri buyers, with no additional trips required.
Apply from Joplin before making the I-44 drive. Our lender network serves Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma buyers equally, with GMC incentives applied before we present your numbers.
Start ApplicationStart your trade estimate from home. Missouri buyers benefit from a trade-in tax reduction on the new vehicle purchase — our finance team calculates it explicitly as part of the deal.
Get Trade ValueOur GMC-certified service center handles Acadia maintenance and warranty work with genuine OEM parts. Joplin-area owners can book online and coordinate efficient visits.
Book AppointmentWe needed three rows that adults could actually sit in for the drive to Tulsa. The Acadia’s second and third rows are noticeably roomier than what we cross-shopped. Oakes GMC had several on the lot to compare directly.
Kansas buyer, bought in Missouri. Oakes handled the Kansas title and registration without a single extra trip or surprise fee. The Denali interior quality is a real step above what I expected at this price.
Fold both rows and the Acadia swallowed an entire dorm move. 97 cubic feet is not a marketing number — it is genuinely useful. Fair trade value and a straightforward deal.
Does Oakes GMC handle Kansas and Oklahoma title work for Joplin-area buyers?
Yes. We process out-of-state title and registration for Kansas and Oklahoma buyers routinely and structure the deal around your home state’s tax requirements from the start. It adds no additional trips to the process.
How much cargo space does the 2027 Acadia actually have?
23 cubic feet behind the third row with all seats up, 57.3 cubic feet with the third row folded, and up to 97.5 cubic feet with both rear rows down. That top figure is competitive with vehicles a size class larger.
Is the Acadia’s third row usable for adults?
More so than most of the segment. Third-row legroom is 32.1 inches with 48.6 inches of hip room, and the Acadia’s 120.9-inch wheelbase is what makes that possible. Adults are comfortable back there for shorter regional trips.
What safety equipment is standard on the 2027 Acadia?
GMC Pro Safety is standard across all four trims: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Following Distance Indicator. The 2027 model also adds a standard interior camera and Surround Vision Recorder.
What is the warranty on a new Acadia?
New GMC Acadia models carry a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and 5 years of roadside assistance coverage.
