The 2024 GMC Savana Cargo Van comes standard with a 4.3L V6 engine delivering 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque-plenty of power for most hauling and towing tasks. Its maximum towing capacity reaches 7,400 lbs., making it ideal for heavy-duty work. For jobs requiring even more muscle, an available 6.6L V8 engine boosts capability further. The Savana is also equipped with smart performance features: Tow/Haul Mode optimizes gear shifts under load, reducing excess shifting and improving overall performance. The rear-wheel-drive system paired with an Eaton Automatic Locking Rear Differential enhances traction and stability. StabiliTrak stability control detects and corrects traction loss, and Hill Start Assist ensures smooth takeoffs on inclines. Whether you're towing a large trailer or navigating challenging terrain, the Savana's powertrain is engineered for reliable performance.
