Torque figures would be substantial, supporting the vehicle's towing and off-road capabilities.
Injection Type:
Sequential Multipart Fuel Injection (SFI-V8)
Type:
Pressurized liquid cooling system, with extensive electrical control for fans and pump operation.
Type:
Typically a 4-speed automatic transmission (e.g., ZF 4HP22).
Type:
While an automatic was standard, the manual mentions automatic gearbox specifics, indicating its prevalence.
Transfer Case:
Full-time 4WD with a central locking differential, controlled electronically or via manual lever depending on specific configuration, often integrated with the transfer gearbox system.
