The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque. This gives you solid power for hauling cargo and handling everyday tasks.

For heavier-duty work, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts performance with increased towing and payload capacities. The Savana's maximum towing capacity reaches 7,400 lbs., making it well-suited for trailers, equipment, and other heavy loads.

To optimize performance under load, the Savana includes Tow/Haul Mode for better gear-shift management, plus a rear-wheel-drive system with an Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential to enhance traction and stability. StabiliTrak stability control and Hill Start Assist round out the capability package.
