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

If you need even more muscle, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts performance and increases both towing and payload capacities. The Savana delivers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,400 lbs.-more than many competitors-making it well-suited for trailers, equipment, and heavy-duty jobs.

To optimize performance under load, the Savana includes Tow/Haul Mode to smooth gear shifts and reduce strain. A rear-wheel-drive system with an Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential enhances traction and stability on various road conditions. StabiliTrak stability control detects and corrects traction loss, and Hill Start Assist prevents rollback on inclines.
