The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine delivering 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque-plenty of power for most commercial hauling.

If you need more muscle, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts both towing and payload capacity. The Savana reaches a maximum towing capacity of 7,400 lbs. (with Tow/Haul Mode) and features a rear-wheel-drive system with an Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential for enhanced traction and stability.

Additional performance features include StabiliTrak stability control, Hill Start Assist, and Tow/Haul Mode-all designed to optimize shifting under load and keep you confident on any terrain.
