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 hauling cargo and tackling tough jobs. If you need more muscle, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts performance with increased towing and payload capacity.

For towing, the Savana achieves a maximum towing capacity of 7,400 lbs., making it ideal for trailers, equipment, and heavy-duty loads. Smart features like Tow/Haul Mode optimize gear shifts under load, reducing excess shifting and improving performance. The StabiliTrak stability control system detects and corrects traction loss, while Hill Start Assist prevents rollback on inclines.
