2005 GMC Safari 3 Dr SLE AWD Passenger Van Extended Trim Overview

Included with the all-wheel drive feature in the 2005 GMC Safari SLE AWD Passenger Van is a limited slip center differential, and an optional locking rear differential is available as well.  The extra road grip of the AWD is helped by 16-inch alloy wheels, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, and the truck platform in this eight-passenger minivan.  Other standard equipment includes dual front airbags, automatic headlights, and daytime running lights.  Power comes from a 4.3-liter, 190-hp V6 and 4-speed auto tran with tow/haul mode.  Equipped with trailer wiring, adding an optional trailer hitch allows you to tow up to 5200 pounds -- slightly less than the rear-wheel drive SLE, due to the extra weight of the AWD system.

The 2006 Safari SLE AWD features a full power setup, CD player, security system, cruise control, intermittent wipers, tilt steering wheel, tinted glass, and air conditioning.  Both second and third row seats fold and can be removed, to increase storage space from 41-170 cubic feet.  A roof rack is available for more storage.  Options include a power driver's seat, rear climate control, running boards, a trip computer, and a rear window wiper.  Dutch doors with an independent rear window can replace the traditional barn doors with a fixed window.  Drivers like the roominess, but admit the interior is rather bland and the 16/21 mpg not so great.
