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 is offered for increased towing and payload capacities.

The Savana boasts a maximum towing capacity of 7,400 lbs.-higher than many competitors-making it excellent for hauling large trailers, equipment, or heavy-duty tasks. Advanced features like Tow/Haul Mode optimize gear shifts when towing heavy loads, reducing excess shifting and improving performance. The Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential and StabiliTrak stability control system enhance traction and stability in various conditions. Hill Start Assist also prevents rollback on inclines for smooth takeoffs.
