A Convenience Package ($765) has rear-obstacle detection, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals and remote engine starting.

SLT 2WD ($38,990) and 4WD ($41,800) come standard with the 5.3-liter V8, but the 4WD model gets the Flex-Fuel version. SLT adds leather upholstery, front bucket seats, front center console, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear controls, six-disc CD changer, rear seat audio controls and outputs, universal garage door opener, fog lights, remote engine starting, front tow hooks.
