2004 Chevrolet Astro Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Chevy Astro Van returned unchanged for the 2004 model year after a number of small alterations involving brakes and trim levels for 2003. The midsize truck-based Astro offers buyers a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, different rear-door layouts, and a cargo van interior configuration.
The Astro has been praised for its towing capacity, versus that of a minivan similar in size, thanks to its truck platform. Other positive attributes include interior space, interior cargo-carrying options, and the all-weather traction system bundled with AWD. While moving cargo and loads may be a snap for the Astro, its ability to move passengers from A to B is the downside. Ride comfort and handling are both substandard, and no side-impact airbags are offered.
Astro vans come standard with a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and full power accessories. Seating for eight passengers is available through two front buckets and two rows of three-seat benches. With the second- and third-row seats removed, cargo space totals 170.4 cubic feet. Buyers may also opt for a seven-passenger configuration with the LT package, which swaps two second-row bucket seats for the bench. The LT is also available with optional leather seating.
The Astro is powered by a 4.3-liter V6, which produces 190 hp and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is available with both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. The difference in traction is significant, as the rear-wheel Astro struggles to maintain a grip on wet surfaces, and the AWD version is bundled with traction control. Fuel economy is estimated at 14/17 mpg with AWD and 16/21 with RWD. The rear-wheel setup offers the best capacities; payload is 1,764 pounds and towing is 5,400 pounds.

The Astro Van is comfortable, versatile, and the engine is a warhorse. Last one I had got me 350,000 miles on the original engine. Stupidly, I gave it up. Now I am haunted by my mistake. They dont make em like this anymore. Instead, you get some pointed-nose weak substitute. Hey, GMC!!! Nows the time to being this back in a lighter, possibly electric version.May 25, 2020

We purchased this vehicle used in July of 2006 with just over 50,000 km to replace our 1999 Chevrolet Venture (which we loved!). This vehicle cost us more in repairs in one year of ownership than 6 years of ownership of our Venture! I never did like this vehicle. The handling was like driving a truck. The ride was rough. The thing was a pig on gas. Never drove by many gas stations without stopping! I am glad to be rid of it!Jul 17, 2008

Door lock
Chevy Astro Van, 2004. All of a sudden, the doors locks quit working. They make a clicking sound and you can see them try to move, but they will not activate enough to lock or unlock. I had a short in the wiring about the same time they started not working, which caused several codes to show when the check engine light came on. The short is fixed, which was a hot wire that went to sensors, etc. It ocurred to me later that this could also be the problem with the door locks, and that is why I am asking. The doors locks started acting like I described all at once. Thanks for any ideas.
