Overview

4/20/2026

Time travel is possible. All you need is a new GMC Savana, some Nirvana or Spice Girls playing through the stereo speakers, a little spritz or two of CK One or Cool Water to freshen up, and you can transport yourself to the mid-1990s, when GMC's full-size van last saw a complete redesign. The Savana turns 30 this year and officially matches the original Volkswagen Beetle's run from 1949 to 1979. What keeps this GMC going like an Energizer bunny on wheels? A low price, a proven platform, and competitive payload and towing capacities.

Which Savana trim does Edmunds recommend?

To maximize your bang-for-the-buck, get the Savana 3500 Extended Wheelbase in LS trim, with the optional V8 engine, 15-passenger seating and trailering equipment. That way, you can leverage this ancient van's primary benefits at a relative bargain.

Competitors to consider

Your alternatives in the full-size passenger-van segment include the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. They cost more, but they're also available in a much wider range of configurations. Not only that, but they also boast 21st-century engineering, modern infotainment and safety technology, and engines that may deliver better fuel economy. The main reasons to select a GMC Savana are its low price and V8-engine towing capacity.

Edmunds spotlight: Reasons why you should buy a GMC Savana

The most affordable version of the Savana comes in heavy-duty 2500 specification, and similar rivals cost thousands more. When you need to carry up to 15 people on a budget, the Savana is an appealing entry on a spreadsheet. It's also the only full-size van to offer a V8 engine, and when so equipped, the Savana can tow up to 9,600 pounds. Furthermore, the extended-length Savana 3500 offers a maximum payload rating of 3,427 pounds, putting it midpack among passenger vans. One thing the Savana doesn't offer, however, is all-wheel drive. So, if you want to reduce slipping and sliding in snowy weather, shop elsewhere.

GMC Savanna - A nice ride

Northern Driver, 08/24/2003

2003 GMC Savana 1500 AWD 3dr Van (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

My Savanna is a conversion that looks and performs up to expectations and turns heads. I would not have purchased one of these vans based on standard features/factory trim. The dashboard and interiors are too flat and plasticky and the bumpers/mirrors are black plastic. Both of these detractions were remedied by the conversion - wood dash trim and painted …

The Family Cruiser

Carl Mundell, 11/30/2004

2000 GMC Savana G3500 SLE 3dr Ext Van

We have owned our GMC Savana for almost five years now. The van is always a pleasure to drive. I have a large family and we designed the van to meet our needs. The van was the first extended van the conversion company created. It sets nine, six captain chairs and a fold down bench in the back. The van glides down the highway and has had only one recent mechanical …

2000 GMC Savana G2500 SLE 3dr Van

Pros: Great Horsepower, and durability. The van had been in 3 fenderbenders and only had scratches. Great for bad weather and loads. Don't get is confused with a 1/2 ton capacity van. Cons: very thin window glass, bad sound proofing, hollow doors other than front doors. Engine pings (the owners manual says it's OK if it does, but anyone that knows engines knows …
