Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Strong powertrains, dual-passenger access doors, multiple wheelbase and passenger configurations, optional all-wheel drive.

Cons

Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.

What’s new

The driver-side illuminated vanity mirror has been eliminated and a front-passenger assist handle has been added.

Edmunds says

Powerful Vortec engines and some unique features make the Savana (and its twin, the Chevrolet Express) pretty much the only game in town if you're looking for a full-size van that doesn't look and drive like it was designed two decades ago.

Just a great van -- no noises, 2500 lb payload, 20 MPG on the hwy, four wheel disk ABS brakes stop great. Rack and pinion steering handles like a car.

5.7 engine fails after warranty

David Shirk, 12/29/2002

2000 GMC Savana Cargo G3500 3dr Ext Van

With an oil change documented every 3- 5 thousand miles, my trusty GMC Savanna extended 1-ton cargo van came to a grinding halt at 60,600 miles (less than 2 years old).
