Step up to the 5.3-liter EcoTec®3 V8, and you get 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque with a 10-speed automatic. If you need more power, the available 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8, delivers 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque — though that option is reserved for Crew Cab 4x4 configurations. The Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel is also available, offering 305 hp, 495 lb-ft of torque.
