This is easily the worst review I've ever seen on the GMC Savana van.
What the hell’s wrong with you? For Christ sake it’s a work van, don’t expect top of the line luxury. For a vehicle that was designed in 1995 it’s no surprise that it’s outdated, but at the same time it’s still in production for a reason!

Well it’s called a “cargo work van” for a reason. It’s a basic van just for craftsman/business owners moving/hauling tools from jobsite 2 jobsite. I’ve rented one from Uhaul actually…I’m thinking about purchasing 1 myself for future business start-up. It’s better than a pick-up truck when it comes to storage in my point of view.
What do u expect!!!??? its just a basic used cargo van used to move thing from point A to point B... Most empty cargo vans arent meant to have any creature comforts or luxury features... Theyre mainly used by service providers in the labor field... Carpenters, electricians - plumbers - handymen / general contractors & moving services... Some people buy them, then renovate them into liveable home on wheels

Best is an objective term - why is this engine so painfully slow? I've driven 20+ year old diesel vehicles that were faster than this van. I've driven another Savanna (rented from a different company) and it was marginally quicker, but still about 11-12 seconds to 60, that is antiquated performance.

It is actually not a bad van at all. That 4.8L V8 LS Gen3 engine is very good for reliability and surprisingly good fuel economy. 6L90 engine is perhaps the most bulletproof transmission there is. If you want something fast you go buy a Corvette. If you want something super comfortable then you go buy a Cadillac. Interior is cheap plastic but waht do you expect out of a rental cargo van... It's job is to haul crap load of shit (or people) from point A to B and not break down. Just like the Ford Econoline, these are tried and true, all American workhorses. I actually prefer full size vans over any pickup trucks.

dont know how a 3500 one ton would be good with a tiny v8. should of got the big engine
I’m getting ready to rent a cargo van from U-Haul for my cross-town move next Saturday, and if ALL of these GMC Savanas or Chevrolet Expresses are as bad as you say they are, I pray to God U-Haul doesn’t give me one of these! I’m actually hoping to get a Ford Transit, as I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews about those bad boys; barring one of those, I wouldn’t mind giving something like a Ram Sprinter a go. Too bad Toyota doesn’t have anything in the way of a cargo van, as a 2012 Camry SE happens to be my personal vehicle and I absolutely love it…🤗🚘
You have to judge the rental company for most because that gmc savana or the chevy express 1500 with 5.7l vortex have an amazing ride quality i made 300 miles everyday and dawn i like it and gets so much appréciation from my passenger(5-6 New passenger everyday) on how good they ride amazingly mine have super light steering if you dont touch the steering wheel they go straight for ever on dry road or rainstorm really if you maintain it this truck is a tank, stop rental and get à 2008-2009 cheap to buy and the part are so cheap because you find them everywhere, customisable as fuck...

The US military used these (Chevy/GM) vans all of the time. We would cram about 12+ Soldiers into these vans like no body’s business. Now, they use the newer Ford Transit vans for better fuel economy. These vans never stopped for us. This guy would bitch about a free bl*w job. Lol

Lot of your problem are not related to the model of the van ( loose spare tire, hanging light, tire pressure etc..)
the armrest is fine bro. nothing here was really a hard knock. except the crappy maintenance by the rental outfit. also they opted for the tiny v8 because they are cheap.van is all business. get a caravan next time plenty of storage and cup holders power mirrors. caravans expire after 150k miles seems they got a timer that makes them die after 10-15 yrs.
Most simple answer I can say is your expecting a mini van out of a cargo van second your to damn picky and 3 know what to expect especially out of a rental you clearly just wanted to trash one of the best vans in the entire industry

It doesn't have to be this bad, watch my other video titled the best van to rent, that one was excellent!
Now, I like your judgement of this van.. But not only this van had been abused, Serviced poorly (Judging by the bad fueling system) But this is a base trim Savana, My grandmother's boyfriend has a base Savana, Almost 10 years older. You can tell by the base-trim headlights... GM Is one of the top motoring industries and they give these base trim Express/Savanna's outdated base headlights... I Think they could atleast refresh them. It is kinda stupid how a base Savana is basically a rebadged base express since it's literally about the same thing..
You're in a time capsule, lol. This van is unchanged since 1995. You can still buy a brand new 2020 which is like buying a brand new 25 year old vehicle, lol.

Why’d you spend money on it if it wasn’t what you wanted? I don’t get it...

Stupid review! You should have rented a Toyota sienna Instead!! Dude! That van is not meant for Whining people like you. And if I'm going to be asked? I'd like van like these a lot better compare to the new Ford Transit. I love V8's! If you don't like gas V8's mpg then get a diesel!! Simple! Old vortec engines are good engines. I also driven the last Ford Econoline Wagon Van gas V8's before Ford phased out Econoline series vans and replaced them with a European trash Transit. Ford Econoline, Chevrolet Express and this GMC Savana are all the best solid Heavy Duty Vans.
So this flat tire was the van's problem not the asshole's problem who received the van from the rental office ,, good luck unlike
