Help reduce wheel lockup and maintain steering control during hard braking on most slippery surfaces
May require additional optional equipment
6.6L V8 Gas engine:
401 hp [299 kW] @ 5200 rpm
464 lb-ft of torque [629 N-m] @ 4000 rpm
8,600 lbs. GVWR:
When properly equipped; includes weight of vehicle, passengers, cargo and equipment
8-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission:
Electronically controlled with overdrive
Tow/Haul mode
Cruise Grade Braking
Downshifts automatically to slow the truck as it drives downhill if it exceeds the cruise set speed by a certain amount
Powertrain Grade Braking
Overdrive gear for smooth, efficient operation
Cruise control that maintains a set speed up and down grades, even when towing a heavy trailer in mountainous terrain (works with Tow/Haul mode and Auto Grade Braking)
May require additional optional equipment
Aluminized stainless-steel muffler and tailpipe
Automatic locking rear differential:
When the differential senses a significant difference in wheel speed, it locks to turn both rear wheels in unison for added traction
The Eaton® Locker senses a difference in wheel speed of approximately 100 rpm
External engine oil cooler:
Heavy-duty air-to-oil cooler
Helps prevent possible engine oil breakdown under heavy loads
May require additional optional equipment
Heavy-duty 600 cold-cranking amps battery:
Maintenance-free with rundown protection and retained accessory power
Ladder-type frame:
High-strength steel
Power steering:
Provides more steering assist during low-speed maneuvering, such as during parking
When you are stopped on an incline, this feature keeps the brakes engaged for a split second as you transition from brake pedal to gas pedal
Automatically releases once you press down on the accelerator
Prevent vehicle roll-back while the driver moves his/her foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal
StabiliTrak, electronic stability control system with traction control:
Automatically helps enhance control, particularly during emergency maneuvers, by adjusting the brakes and engine torque to help you stay on your intended path
Activates when vehicle sensors detect a difference between the driver's intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually travelling
Applies selective brake pressure to individual wheels to help the driver keep the vehicle on the path being steered
Includes Traction Control that detects wheel slippage and applies brake pressure and/or reduces engine power to help the driver maintain control when accelerating on wet or snow-covered roads
