Standard & Optional Highlights
⢠Interior Atmosphere: Heavily features Race-Tex (Alcantara) upholstery with GTS logos embroidered on the headrests. Look out for models with the GTS Interior Package, which adds vibrant contrast stitching (Carmine Red or Chalk) and matching seatbelts.
⢠The V8 Soundtrack: Features a sport exhaust system tuned specifically for the GTS. Coupe buyers could option a unique, centrally mounted sport exhaust system that delivers an even meaner rumble.
⢠Daily Usability: Despite its sports-car handling, it retains a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds, making it a highly capable utility vehicle.
