With 20 inches more in the wheelbase, the 2006 GMC Savana Cargo 35000 Extended Van can fit 317 cubic feet of personal or business items. And if you can't fit the kitchen sink, you can certainly tow it and 10,000 more pounds with the optional trailer hitch. In 2006, besides a new engine cover and underbody heat shield, the Savana Cargo 3500 Extended gets an optional 6.6-liter, 250-hp V8 with 460 lb-ft of torque. A 4.8-liter, 285-hp V8 is standard, and a 6.0-liter, 300-hp V8 is optional. A 4-speed auto tran is standard. The rear-wheel drive cargo van seats two and comes with dual front airbags, 4-wheel ABS brakes, a truck suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and Stabilitrak. A locking rear differential, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and mirrors with turn signals are optional.
Daytime running lights are included, however, along with intermittent wipers, air conditioning, power steering, and cupholders. No radio, though. For that or a CD player, you'll pay extra. Other add-ons include power features, a power driver's seat, cruise control, remote entry, tilt steering, heated mirrors, and rear climate control. A sliding door can substitute for the 60/40 hinged passenger side door, and a driver's side door is also available. A somewhat rough ride and bland interior take away from the incredible hauling power and capacity of the 2006 Savana Cargo 3500 Extended Van.
