Many GMC Models Get Destination Freight Charge Increase

As anyone who’s been paying attention will tell you, vehicle prices are on the rise across the board, and that includes the cost of new vehicle delivery. GMC is no different.

General Motors has implemented a fresh round of destination freight charge (DFC) increases for models across all four of its U.S. brands, including GMC and the 2025 Sierra, as GM Authority covered previously. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the new DFC increases implemented for the rest of Big Red’s lineup.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup and SUV.

At the high end of the freight charge bumps, we have the Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV, each of which saw their DFCs rise by $200, bringing the grand total up to $2,495 – the highest DFC of the brand’s entire U.S. lineup. Several of GMC’s large utility and pickup models match the Hummers’ $200 hike, including the Sierra 1500, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL, all of which now carry a DFC of $2,195.

Some models were given more modest DFC hikes. The Acadia, Canyon, and Savana each saw a $100 uptick, bringing their DFCs to $1,495, $1,695, and $1,995, respectively. Meanwhile, a few models saw no freight charge increase at all, with the Terrain unchanged at $1,395, marking the lowest DFC in Big Red’s current U.S. lineup, as well as the all-electric Sierra EV, which also holds steady at $2,095.

Check out the table below for a more thorough breakdown of DFC figures for the GMC lineup:

The latest DFC updates follow a series of MSRP increases for several GMC nameplates, including for the Canyon, Yukon, and Acadia.

To note, DFC helps to cover fuel, logistics, and cross-border expenses for new vehicle shipments. As GM continues to adjust pricing to reflect supply chain dynamics and production costs, as well as new tariffs, we’ll be sure to keep an eye on where these charges may be headed next.
