Consistent with the rest of the vehicle, the 4.3-liter V8 engine features body-color factory engine covers for a clean, top-quality look. A factory-appearing exhaust system with twin outlets delivers a throaty note and, as desired, a classically styled digital AM/FM stereo head unit includes AUX and Bluetooth connectivity.
