The **SLT trim** is built for serious towing and hauling duty. It features a robust 5.3L V8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, plus an available Max Trailering Package that includes an automatic locking rear differential, heavier-duty springs, and increased rear axle weight ratings.

The SLT also offers Hitch View (available on SLE and Elevation), Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and black vertical recovery hooks for added confidence on the road. Available skid plates and upgraded suspension enhance durability under load.

For exact towing capacity, payload ratings, and to see current SLT inventory at Markquart Motors, call (715) 833-0444 or visit our showroom in Chippewa Falls. Our sales team can help you find the right truck for your towing needs.
