P0300 misfire & loss of power

I have a 2000 Jimmy 128k. I loose power & get a miss fire code under load. when I tow up a hill start feeling loss off power. Almost dies. Also happens cold when going up a hill. Changed the obvious (plugs, cap, rotor, also cam & crank sensors) and use only Delco parts

Have the fuel pressure checked. You could have a clogged fuel filter affecting the fuel supply resulting in loss of performance.

If the Malfunction Indicator Light is shoiwng, get a scan to cehck for trouble codes.

Basics have been covered so you need to go further into diagnostics.
Have you checked the fuel pressure and air filter ?
Try cleaning the MAF.
