Sorry !! I've been living in a Suburban world for too long. We've had a different one every few years since 1995. I just thought saying it was a "1500" was enough information because the 5.3 liter V-8 was the only engine choice in a "1500" until 2009. The "1500" also means it is a two wheel drive (rear) on a 1/2 ton chassis. With the factory towing option and a WDH it has a 7,400# towing capacity, 1,000# tongue weight capacity and an combined vehicle capacity of 13,000#.

So..... the answer to your question is; the engine size is a 5.3 liter V-8, 240 horsepower at 5,900 rpm and 245 pound-feet of torque at 2,800 rpm.

Regards,

Jerry
