Dual air bags and four-wheel ABS brakes are standard equipment, as is a Vortec4.3-liter V-6 engine and 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The optional engine lineup includes 5.0-, 5.7- and 7.4-liter gasoline V-8s, all redone for 1996 for more power and torque, as well as a brand new engine offering, a 6.5-liter turbodiesel for those who must have a combination of pulling power and long-term operating economy. This is an extremely broad range of engine choices for business and personal-use customers. The torque parade starts with the 5.0-liter's 285 foot-pounds and runs up to 410 foot-pounds for the 7.4-liter V8, more than enough to easily tow around an 8000-pound trailer load. |
