The engine

L87

6.2L V8

GMC's 6.2-liter small-block V8 delivers the deep, effortless torque that defines a full-size American truck — quiet when cruising, muscular when towing, in Denali and AT4X flagships.

A direct descendant of Chevrolet's 1955 small-block, this pushrod V8 pairs old-school simplicity with modern cylinder deactivation and direct injection.
