**5.3L V8** (available on SLT trim) is ideal for serious towing and hauling, paired with a 10-speed automatic and enhanced trailering packages.

**3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel** (AT4 trim) combines impressive torque and fuel efficiency with off-road-ready suspension and rugged tires for adventure-focused drivers.
