Everything You Demand Of An SUV And A Buick

Rugged. That's right. Underneath the elegant lines, beyond the luxurious appointments, behind the sedan-like ride, the 2004 Rainier is still a truck. A full-frame truck. Full stop. To get it going, you've got a standard, in-line six, 275 hp engine with a matching 275 lbs.-ft. of torque (at 3600 rpm). And, if you're hungry for more, there's an available eight-cylinder version that pumps out 290 hp and an impressive 3,003 lbs.-ft. of torque. As for towing capacity, it can haul 2,858 kg (6,300 lb.) in both the 2WD version and 2,812 kg (6,200 lb.) in the AWD version.
