The Buick Rainier is a midsized SUV from General Motors. Introduced for 2004, the Rainier is the first truck sold under the Buick marque (the unibody Rendezvous might also qualify) and is the first body-on-frame V8-powered Buick since the 1996 Roadmaster. The Rainier (and Rendezvous) will be replaced by a new crossover SUV on the GM Lambda platform for 2008.

The Rainier is only available in a 5-passenger bodystyle, but is the only GMT360 truck to offer V8 power in this configuration. Both rear and all wheel drive models are offered. An upscale CXL trim adds a better Bose stereo and XM Satellite Radio.

Engines:

  • 2004- LL8 4.2 L (256 in³) I6
  • 2004- 5300 5.3 L (323 in³) V8
