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 thats a load of crap, especially for a engine that only has 24000 miles. Sensitive to roll and yaw when loaded down (high center of gravity).

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 problem. The sending unit in the gas tank went bad. My only interior problem has been the interior panels on the back door staying in place when they are closed. My everyday MPG is about 12.5 and trips are between 14.5 to 16. I believe thats very good for a 1 ton extended van fully loaded with a large cargo carrier on top.

So far so good with this van. It is a big vehicle and sits high off the road. I have the 5.0 ltr motor which gives it decent power. A little noisy when you punch it to merge with fast traffic. Brakes are spongy but work when required. It is great if you have lots of kids. It seats 6 people very nicely. Very roomy and the heater is great. Good handling but tends to pull in high winds. It is a highway cruiser vehicle however, it handles nicely in town. Gas mileage is great. I like it a lot. I am glad I bought it. GMC makes a good quality vehicle which is why I bought this make of van. I have not yet drove it in deep snow which will be the real test for handling.

I really enjoy my 1500 van it’s so much smoother than the bouncy 2500. It has the vortec 350 with 430k miles original motor runs like a champ no issues to pass inspection every year the transmission been swapped out once and still driving everyday And getting 17 mpg. With the rear A/C it gets colder than a Cadillac

350cid V8 5.7Liter Vortec aprx 430,000 original miles purchased brand new one owner never for sale. Daily driver since day one passes state inspection every year runs perfect no engine lights transmission was replaced a couple hundred thousand miles ago still shifts like butter no issues front and rear a/c is so cold it’s colder than a Bentley this 1500 Savana is the best hightop conversion van explorer ever made it’s smoother than a Mercedes Benz the 2500 vans are stiff and bouncy gota tow a boat or home to be smoother there just no other van that is so smooth and comfortable as the 1500 getting an average of 17 mpg on the highway and with its 30 gallon tank just gives that extra comfort of the smoothest, powerful long lasting 350 iron block that’s been dependable since new. I heard the recent bad news with the vans 2024 models no longer will have V8s but a turbo 6 I seriously don’t think it will be as reliable as mine being loaded down with tools going up hills and then 2025 go out with a bang with v6 turbos breaking down in vans but all the vans being discontinued maan I wouldn’t take less than 100,000 bucks if I ever decide to sell it but even at the six figs I would not let mine go no way.
