Great van. We use it to tow the US Bobsled to shows. Gives great power and fuel mileage for such a large van. I'm looking foward to buying the new GM Diesel van. We also take it to a lot of Nascar Races. We are very active in racing selling our products to several teams and sponsor several teams. It's not uncommen to see Nascar drivers catching a ride in our van. It can seat 15 people. All in all very satisfied.
Windy!

I paid close to 35K for an Exployer conversion. Great looking interior. However the ride is only fair and @ highway speed there is so much wind noise it is hard to hold a conversation

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.

Great for hauling kids and camping ,easy hauling perfect for 4x8 sheets ply. Rear behind bench has much room for my stuff. Pulling camper trailer. But as time wears on there have been odd brake issues and all rusty brake lines, huge expense. Also I've had a few electrical issues and corroded grounds that are hard to trace.

If you want a work truck that looks great and last you have to go to GMC. My last truck was an 1986 with 130,000 and it was time to treat myself. It was her idea. Set the truck up right and love your job. GMC helps me do just that
