What Owners are Saying About the 1996 GMC Savana 2500 Passenger

"Best Sized up to a Ford"

"We owned a Ford 15 passenger prior to trading for our GMC. We went for the Savana because I did my homework and talked directly to a gentleman in charge of roll-over testing and the GMC came highly recommended by him. With our large family we have to have a van of this size. We felt we were living the life of luxury when we first stepped into the GMC. We are at the point now with our van now 7 years old that we would like to trade it in. We have no doubt that we will be looking for EXACTLY what we have now only newer. It will not let you down!! The only reason I give it a 4 stars in the quality department is due to the fact that some of the plastic pieces (ie. seatbelt guides) have broken."

"Part of the family"

"I bought this vehicle brand new in 2001 and have relief on it for almost 22 years. Pulled a travel trailer up the mountains in Colorado and Wyoming numerous times while loaded down with the family, dogs, and camping gear. Motor still runs great. Only have replaced the fuel pump. I've asked my son to drive my casket to the cemetery in this van when I die."

"Great travel vehicle"
