You’ve got four powertrains to choose from, each targeting different priorities. Need fuel efficiency? The TurboMax™ 2.7L Turbo delivers. Want maximum torque? The Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel is your answer.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque (lb.-ft.) | Max Towing (RWD) | Max Towing (4WD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TurboMax™ 2.7L Turbo | 310 | 430 | 9,500 lbs. | 9,300 lbs. |
| EcoTec3 5.3L V8 | 355 | 383 | 11,300 lbs. | 11,100 lbs. |
| EcoTec3 6.2L V8 | 420 | 460 | – | 13,200 lbs. |
| Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel | 305 | 495 | 13,300 lbs. | 13,000 lbs. |
That Duramax® diesel really shines here. With 495 lb.-ft. of torque and 13,300 lbs. maximum towing capacity, it’s built for heavy trailers and those long hauls where you don’t want to stop for fuel every few hours.
Nine different trims give you options, starting with the Work Truck that handles 2,260 lbs. maximum payload and going all the way up to the luxurious High Country.
You’ll find WT, Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country, and ZR2 in the lineup.
Engine choices vary depending on which trim catches your eye, so you can focus on capability, comfort, or serious off-road performance. The ZR2 comes with that Duramax® diesel as standard equipment and still pulls 8,900 lbs. even with its specialized suspension setup.
