The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a powerful 4.3L V6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque. If you need even more capability, an available 6.6L V8 engine is offered with increased towing and payload capacity. The Savana's maximum towing capacity reaches up to 7,400 lbs.-higher than many competitors-making it ideal for hauling heavy trailers and equipment. Smart performance features like Tow/Haul Mode optimize gear shifts under load, reducing excess shifting and improving overall efficiency. The rear-wheel-drive system and Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential enhance traction and stability on various road conditions.
