The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque. If you need more power, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts performance with increased towing and payload capacities. The Savana's maximum towing capacity reaches 7,400 lbs.-higher than comparable cargo vans-making it ideal for hauling trailers and heavy equipment. To optimize towing, the van includes Tow/Haul Mode to reduce excess shifting under load, plus a rear-wheel-drive system and Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential for better traction and stability. StabiliTrak stability control and Hill Start Assist round out the capability package. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to discuss which engine option fits your job.
