Editor's Advice:
GMC has been selling the Safari, with few updates, since 1985. This model has never been redesigned, so it’s not surprising that occupant comfort and safety lag more modern small vans. But GMC’s Safari continues to sell strongly enough for General Motors to continually postpone the van’s death. Why? It, along with the nearly identical Chevrolet Astro, is the only small, body-on-frame van on the market. Combined with a size more manageable than full-size vans, this construction makes the GMC Safari compelling for serious towing and hauling duties. And with its available all-wheel-drive system, driven by a proven 4.3-liter V6 engine, the Safari is a reliable, foul-weather vehicle. For some families, there is no alternative to the 2004 GMC Safari. For most, however, there is.
