Other than the addition of Stabilitrak to the 15 seat trim, not much changed for GMC's passenger van in 2004. The Savana comes in 5 trims: G1500, G1500 AWD, G2500, G3500, and G3500 Extended. In addition, you can choose a model with seating capacity for 8, 12, or 15. This van offers 3 different powertrains: a 4.3 L, 195 hp V6, 5.3 L, 295 hp V8, and 6.0 L, 300 hp V8.

Expect to get around 14 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. Max towing capacity ranges anywhere from 6200 to 9900 lbs., depending on the trim. Those looking for the most cargo capacity and highest number of standard safety features should go for the G3500 Extended.

Overall, drivers like the choices they have when it comes to seating capacity and powertrains. The Savana also looks relatively stylish for a passenger van. However, the handling and interior materials could use some work. Overall, the 2004 GMC Savana should work for just about anyone in need of a sturdy vehicle that can carry the extended family.
