Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Lots of cargo space with reasonable exterior dimensions, 5,400-pound trailer rating, torquey V6.

Cons

Poor fuel economy, intrusive engine cover makes for small footwells, overall lack of refinement.

What’s new

An argent grille is now standard.

Edmunds says

A workhorse minivan designed for contractors rather than families.

2004 GMC Safari Cargo AWD 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

I have been driving Safari's since 1998 this is my second one and I don't think that I will drive anything different. It handles like a dream, has alot of room, and fetures that are right handy.

a great work van
