The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van delivers impressive power and capability for heavy-duty work. The standard engine is a 4.3L V6 producing 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque, with an available 6.6L V8 for even greater performance.

Towing is a standout feature: the Savana handles up to 7,400 lbs. of towing capacity-more than competitors in its class. Specialized features like Tow/Haul Mode optimize gear shifts under load, while StabiliTrak stability control and an Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential keep the van stable on various road conditions. Hill Start Assist prevents rollback on inclines, making job sites and highways equally manageable.
