Moreover, the juggernaut is still driven by a duo of V8s. The 6.6L gasoline engine produces 401 hp and 464 lb-ft. The same-displacement turbodiesel option gets a series of tweaks to boost low-end torque. It produces 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. Both are mated to a 10-speed Allison transmission. The towing capacity fluctuates between 9934 kg and 16,323 kg with the diesel engine. On sale early next year.
