The V-6 engine provides up to 305 horsepower, while the turbo inline-six offers options of 420 or 540 horsepower. Depending on usage needs like hauling, towing, or farm work, buyers can select the most suitable engine. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly.

The turbo inline-six delivers approximately 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway in rear-wheel-drive configurations, while all-wheel-drive versions slightly reduce mileage. The high-performance engine with all-wheel drive records around 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.

Exterior Design
