I drive the same van it’s been a great work van never let me down
I agree, I bought two of them because it is the best van I've ever owned.
@@JohnSmith-xx1lx Is it reliable in long drive? Is it affordable to maintain? Thank you in advance.:)
@@jimbomendoza3415 yeah man if you see one don't hesitate to get it right away.
This is easily the worst review I've ever seen on the GMC Savana van.
I drive one one of this for work , and surprisingly I love it , doesn’t let me down !!
The most useless review I’ve ever seen. Not even a fair comparison in any way shape or form.
What the hell’s wrong with you? For Christ sake it’s a work van, don’t expect top of the line luxury. For a vehicle that was designed in 1995 it’s no surprise that it’s outdated, but at the same time it’s still in production for a reason!
Even europe likes it. Maybe because of space?
Well it’s called a “cargo work van” for a reason. It’s a basic van just for craftsman/business owners moving/hauling tools from jobsite 2 jobsite. I’ve rented one from Uhaul actually…I’m thinking about purchasing 1 myself for future business start-up. It’s better than a pick-up truck when it comes to storage in my point of view.
Yeah, keep convincing people that these are bad vehicles and I will keep buying them at lower prices and loving them. :)
Exactly
Those are great Van's
This is actually a old U-Haul rental van. I ran a CARFAX and it looks like cube smart bought this van in February of 2017 with 11,000 miles.
Wow, you're a genuine Columbo! You are able to read the vin in my video somewhere??
✔️ YOLO NYC by Eric David (watch my channel!) CARFAX can be done by the license plate
Those are the best engines in the truck/van industry
Best is an objective term - why is this engine so painfully slow? I've driven 20+ year old diesel vehicles that were faster than this van. I've driven another Savanna (rented from a different company) and it was marginally quicker, but still about 11-12 seconds to 60, that is antiquated performance.
@@YOLOnyc I have a 2500 Savana 4.8 that has power. I also had the 5.7 in another truck. 4.8 is the small Vortec Engine. But your also driving a rental that may not be taken care of well.
@@skullyblog7183 lol thats thanks to the 2500
But i mean 4.7 L aint bad
Exactly, probably just needs a tune-up.
lol i own one and is my work van i love it!! not sure what he is looking for in a cargo van is for work!! rent or buy the tricked out savana explorer if you want to see nice equipment in it!!!
You should have been more appreciative that they even rented you something,most rental companies wont accept a prepaid debit card
What do u expect!!!??? its just a basic used cargo van used to move thing from point A to point B... Most empty cargo vans arent meant to have any creature comforts or luxury features... Theyre mainly used by service providers in the labor field... Carpenters, electricians - plumbers - handymen / general contractors & moving services... Some people buy them, then renovate them into liveable home on wheels
Take a look at my other video, the best van to rent, to see what's possible (and what you can expect from a cargo van)
looks like you are having a bad day dude...nice review though... am in the market for one of those vans
It is actually not a bad van at all. That 4.8L V8 LS Gen3 engine is very good for reliability and surprisingly good fuel economy. 6L90 engine is perhaps the most bulletproof transmission there is. If you want something fast you go buy a Corvette. If you want something super comfortable then you go buy a Cadillac.
Interior is cheap plastic but waht do you expect out of a rental cargo van... It's job is to haul crap load of shit (or people) from point A to B and not break down. Just like the Ford Econoline, these are tried and true, all American workhorses. I actually prefer full size vans over any pickup trucks.
I’m getting ready to rent a cargo van from U-Haul for my cross-town move next Saturday, and if ALL of these GMC Savanas or Chevrolet Expresses are as bad as you say they are, I pray to God U-Haul doesn’t give me one of these! I’m actually hoping to get a Ford Transit, as I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews about those bad boys; barring one of those, I wouldn’t mind giving something like a Ram Sprinter a go. Too bad Toyota doesn’t have anything in the way of a cargo van, as a 2012 Camry SE happens to be my personal vehicle and I absolutely love it…🤗🚘
You have to judge the rental company for most because that gmc savana or the chevy express 1500 with 5.7l vortex have an amazing ride quality i made 300 miles everyday and dawn i like it and gets so much appréciation from my passenger(5-6 New passenger everyday) on how good they ride amazingly mine have super light steering if you dont touch the steering wheel they go straight for ever on dry road or rainstorm really if you maintain it this truck is a tank, stop rental and get à 2008-2009 cheap to buy and the part are so cheap because you find them everywhere, customisable as fuck...
Own many of them. Great vans. You should try a Prius.
I agree best work vans I own 6 of them
dont know how a 3500 one ton would be good with a tiny v8. should of got the big engine
I Think if I were a GM fan I'd hate this video... But hey I like your honest opinions.
If only ford still made the E-Series in this van body style. I like how traditional this van is though. It’s like 2005.
@@42luke93 Yeah, Also these are less apt to rust... And less pedo's drive these than econolines. TMI TMI But these are plain better, But I much prefer econoline's interior.
@@WizardMower
Especially how the 2021 cutaway re-design looks. I can’t believe how a cut-away gets an interior update but Chevy Express. Sold as a van doesn’t for several years! Arguably over a decade.
@@42luke93 Yep, And a express is close to 30k brand new, Watch rental chevy express from 100 rental cars.
wow you dont get it, its only the best cargo van out there,
Great video man. I saw your great video on Scotty Kilmers channel and subscribed. Keep up the great work.
I just to drive the same van. And I was happy never have problems!!!
I thought the power steering part was funny I drive the bus version of this vehicle and literally have no issue maneuvering
The US military used these (Chevy/GM) vans all of the time. We would cram about 12+ Soldiers into these vans like no body’s business. Now, they use the newer Ford Transit vans for better fuel economy. These vans never stopped for us. This guy would bitch about a free bl*w job. Lol
this is review was so goofy. its a rental van, so it is bought as bare minimum accessories and comfort, because its supposed to make money for rental company, not take it.. be happy from good engine and 6 speed auto trans ;)
Lot of your problem are not related to the model of the van ( loose spare tire, hanging light, tire pressure etc..)
Ignorant review
Yeah it is kind of a rediculous review!!
review the 1997-2002 one
Sure, but someone needs to lend me one since they don't rent 20+ year old vehicles
I like the chevy express 2500...a bad tire sensor and busted lights ..well thats rental.the spair tire goes underneath and the unplugged wires is for using a trailer which most owners mount a plug.i like ford's and chevy both have ups and downs.the only complaint that I thought made sense was steering.people like weak engines the 6 cylinder I don't,but the 6.0 engine has some serious power
This guy makes a video hating on the van...it’s a rental van that gets the shit kicked out of it lol😂😂😂. What a joke review.
Like it’s a work van what do you expect an Yukon Denali😂😂😂
It doesn't have to be this bad, watch my other video titled the best van to rent, that one was excellent!
@@YOLOnyc id blame the rental co. who opts for the smallest v8 for most paylpad van 3500? and the plug in the back unplugged is normal. same wiring as pasgenger van but plug unused in cargos.
Nice car, no need to look for damage, buy a new one and you will like it!
You must be a hater. The manual shift is the same angle as holding the wheel lol. Can’t take your hand off the wheel for one second?
Most simple answer I can say is your expecting a mini van out of a cargo van second your to damn picky and 3 know what to expect especially out of a rental you clearly just wanted to trash one of the best vans in the entire industry
It doesn't have to be this bad, watch my other video titled the best van to rent, that one was excellent!
My G4500 with a 6.0 gas would crush that little van!! Should try it with a big 8 or the duramax. Wayyyyyyyy better!!
I’ll post a cold start of mine!
Go back to sleep , p.s your woman is real tired of your bragging to
Only thing I don't care for is no power mirrors. I'm a driver for auto zone and like these. What are you looking for, a Porsche?? It's a work van.
A Porsche van would be awesome!
I own one ,the mirrors are a problem but other than that I can deal with the rest
the armrest is fine bro. nothing here was really a hard knock. except the crappy maintenance by the rental outfit. also they opted for the tiny v8 because they are cheap.van is all business. get a caravan next time plenty of storage and cup holders power mirrors. caravans expire after 150k miles seems they got a timer that makes them die after 10-15 yrs.
Actually the ford e series 5.4 v8 is worse ..bigger engine yet less power ..their 4.6 v8 is less hp then the 4.8 ls v8
Lol, would have been a better renal company review.
Lol slow windows, whats next?
The springs are sprung
It’s a cargo van!!
these vans are badass and fun to drive and have lots of power wtf are you talking about, we use for work in the trades!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a rental dude.
Man complains about bottom level rental van. News at 11.
Tell this to the hundreds of thousands of people that drive this van and half of these on the road look like they were put in the ocean and taken out ten years later because of how rusty they are lol
It's a moving van not a hellcat
Lol, watch my other video on the best van to rent - I do a 0-50 run with it and while it's no Hellcat neither that van could hold it's own against many sports cars!
Very bad review. You don’t like the lack of extras or the lack of maintenance by the rental company, therefore this is the worst van? Hahahahahahaha! If you drive one with all the extras and racking, shelving, center console, etc then you’ll love it? Maybe if it had a hot tub, too? What about a personal chef? And an espresso machine. C’mon. Why’d you spend money on it if it wasn’t what you wanted? I don’t get it...
You didn't drive GAZelle...
you better drive a bike
Keep up these great rental reviews
Thats the gear limiter
Is not the van is the rental company irresponsible
If you cant se if tire is empty. Stop driving and get some force.😂
Pumping gas while on your cell phone. That's a horrible decision bro, can you read?
That's a myth - there's nothing in your phone that can ignite gasoline.
Now, I like your judgement of this van.. But not only this van had been abused, Serviced poorly (Judging by the bad fueling system) But this is a base trim Savana, My grandmother's boyfriend has a base Savana, Almost 10 years older. You can tell by the base-trim headlights... GM Is one of the top motoring industries and they give these base trim Express/Savanna's outdated base headlights... I Think they could atleast refresh them. It is kinda stupid how a base Savana is basically a rebadged base express since it's literally about the same thing..
It's a rental it's not a big deal you are renting it. 😳
So this flat tire was the van's problem not the asshole's problem who received the van from the rental office ,, good luck unlike
Nothing about motor or idle or charging
Dude, yea.... that's a rental with a 4.8, Try an actual 6.0L 2500 that's privately owned and the make a RUclips video. It's a real van, not a mini van. You're gas pump situation,
I left ya at that point.
Lol, the gas pump thing can happen to any vehicle when the evap canister fails, but this clunker van was my only personal experience with that problem. 4.8L is still a huge engine; my old Jaguar with 4 passengers weighed almost as much as this van empty and reached 60 in half the time with a 300hp 4.0 and 5-speed auto.
You're in a time capsule, lol. This van is unchanged since 1995. You can still buy a brand new 2020 which is like buying a brand new 25 year old vehicle, lol.
Very good point. To make matters worse, I've driven a bunch of 1995-era vans from the Ford Econoline and Dodge Ram series and all were MUCH better than this new GMC Savana.
This guy complains so darn much.
Why you rent it in the first place you could’ve gotten a dodge caravan
Needed a fullsize van for what I was hauling, the Dodge caravan wouldn't have fit it.
Ok you can get the Ford transit or the Dodge Ram
Pretty useless review. Guy can't even pump gas. Sit in your cab and stop trying to drive. You can not.
Lesson of the day, never take driving lessons from a dude with a video of himself losing control on a racetrack and sliding a BMW M3 deep into a wooded field, and then criticizes others' driving - it's all good though, your M3 offroading video made me laugh...
@@YOLOnyc at least I can shift with my hand :-) You had trouble pushing buttons and pumping gas. Too much time spent in cabs not in cars. Cargo vans don't go fast, they haul crap not A$$. We laughed at your comments and inability to do simple tasks, so its all good. We all got good laugh.
This poor guy complains worse than any woman I’ve ever heard
Stupid review! You should have rented a Toyota sienna Instead!! Dude! That van is not meant for Whining people like you. And if I'm going to be asked? I'd like van like these a lot better compare to the new Ford Transit. I love V8's! If you don't like gas V8's mpg then get a diesel!! Simple! Old vortec engines are good engines. I also driven the last Ford Econoline Wagon Van gas V8's before Ford phased out Econoline series vans and replaced them with a European trash Transit. Ford Econoline, Chevrolet Express and this GMC Savana are all the best solid Heavy Duty Vans.
Bro it’s a van.
It's not fair to call this review !!!
haters will hate
Your criticisms have NOTHING to do with the quality of the van. They are all due to the abuse it takes as a rental vehicle.
The title of the video is worst van *to rent* not to own/buy. Regardless, the lack of ergonomics, cabin storage space, engine acceleration, etc are all traits of the vehicle.
✔️ YOLO NYC by Eric David (watch my channel!) the engine on this vans , are the best in the van industry
Your derogatory bid was great , good salesmanship, a lot of minimizing in this one . Stay with your strenth
This deserves to have more dislikes
I think your wrong dude🤔
You may be Wright.
Ford's are better than GM these days.
Best work vans!
