Turbocharged and Tech-Ready

Both engines are paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, designed to optimize power, torque, and efficiency.

This truck not only boasts power but also incorporates the most trailering assistance technologies in its class, such as the available ProGrade Trailering System. With up to 14 available camera views, this system offers innovative tools to streamline the hitching and towing process, enhancing safety and boosting driver confidence.
