| Road Test |
The 2008 GMC Savana is still built on the GMT800 truck platform, introduced in 2003. While GM’s full-size trucks have been updated to GMT900 specifications, these vans soldier on, but they know how to get the job done as a commercial hauler, a 15-passenger minibus, or a powerful tow vehicle. It comes in either short- or long-wheelbase lengths and offers a variety of load capacities and engines.
