It has a V8 and it's 4x4 and it has a thing called VDC where if your rear wheel starts to slip the other tires get power to override the slipping and they said you can't even notice it. They said you couldn't fish tail it if you tried. you can also take a sharp turn at 40 and not even notice it. It has side curtain airbags and additional door airbags also. It's a real safe suv which i liked. If your towing something the truck will automatically even itself out. it's pretty loaded for the price. My truck is also a darker grey than the picture i put
