The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine delivering 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque. If you need more power, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts capability even further with increased towing and payload capacities. The Savana's maximum towing capacity reaches 7,400 lbs., making it the strong choice for pulling large trailers or heavy equipment. The van features Tow/Haul Mode to optimize gear shifts under load, reducing excess shifting and improving performance. A rear-wheel-drive system with an Eaton(R) Automatic Locking Rear Differential enhances traction and stability, while Hill Start Assist and StabiliTrak(R) stability control keep you confident on any terrain.
