Vortec 5.3L V8 Engine

---

In 2WD models, the Vortec 5.3L V8 engine generates 320 horsepower and 340 lb.-ft. of torque. In 4x4 models, this engine generates 310 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque.

The composite intake manifold design allows the Vortec 5.3L to deliver high levels of torque at lowrange and midrange engine speeds - which makes it ideal for towing - yet still supplies plenty of airflow for peak engine horsepower.

Active Fuel Management™ provides seamless transition from eight cylinders to four and back again, with both power and efficiency.

For consistently smooth shifts, the four-speed automatic transmission features an input speed sensor and Transmission Control Module that optimize shift quality based on driver input. And Dexron VI transmission fluid helps provide long-term reliability and durability.
