2024 GMC Savana Cargo Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Have your guard up.
I’m happy with the van, it has a few issues but you expect that with a used vehicle. Getting the dealership to honor the 60 warranty well that’s not going so well. For that reason I give 3 stars

Vehicle is reliable and indestructible. We put over 213,000 miles on it with a 3 hour drive a day, day in and day out in never let us down. Rugged, smooth ride it is a 2500 series so it sits on a Yukon frame. Our 2nd Savanna 2500... the first lasted 343,000 miles before we sold it.

Nothing but headaches.
I bought my 2017 GMC Savana 2500 used in 2018 with only 15,500 miles on it. Right from the start, the notorious leaking passenger compartment doors which meant that after a heavy rain, the step wells had water in them. At approximately 23,000 miles, the pinion bearing in the rear differential seized, which destroyed the bearing housing. This meant the entire rear axle needed to be replaced. Luckily, this was a $4300 job covered under warranty. This was during the peak of COVID shutdowns so I was without my work vehicle for about a month. Next, I had to have the AC control panel replaced. Not under warranty, so there goes $400. Then, I had to have the AC compressor replaced to the tune of $1100. I then had to have the power steering pump replaced for another $700. Now, just after turning over the 50,000 mile mark (50,053 to be exact) it is sitting dead in my driveway because something has gone wrong with the transmission. It is literally dead. Won't move. Period. My van is regularly serviced, and quite frankly babied as work vans go. It isn't overloaded. Isn't abused. Very seldomly pulls a trailer and when it does, they are well under the maximum trailer rating. Keep in mind this is in less than 6 years of ownership and just over 50,000 miles. I had a brand new 2001 Ford Econoline 150, that was a little over loaded and had a 6 cylinder in it and I ran that to 120,000 miles until I got an F250 Super Duty that I traded in on this dog. GMC used to be "the work truck". Tough as nails and dependable. This has turned me off on future GM vehicles in general, which sad, because I love this van. It has plenty of power. Almost 3,300lbs of cargo capacity. The seats are comfortable as well as the ride quality. The only thing I upgraded was the addition of some Sumo Springs in the rear to stiffen it up, as it rode like a boat. Other than that it was great. Them the gremlins started to show themselves. One the trans is fixed, this may be put up for sale, because I can't continue to try to make my living like this. So, so disappointed.

Never another GMC again!
After 200,000 miles with my old Ford E150 I decided to buy the GMC V8 1500 Savana cargo van. I should have kept my Ford. After 8000 miles I have to take it in 4 times. As today date with 18000 miles it has been at the shop 7 times and the problems are still not fixed. GMC has very poor customer service and my phone calls and letters are getting me nowhere. One more word about the dealership: Absolutely NOT reccomended! BEWARE!
