2018 GMC Savana: When It’s Time to Get Work Done

There are many jobs that need the versatility and protection of an enclosed space to store materials and tools. For these jobs, one of the vehicles that’s been used for the past two decades has been the GMC Savana work van. The 2018 version of this van doesn’t appear to be much different from the models that were around twenty years ago until you step inside and take a look at what this van has to offer to make sure you can get out on the road and get to work.

Do you need to operate a plumbing business? Are you an electrician? Do you run a shuttle service and need the right van to add to the fleet? All of these needs can be answered with the GMC Savana. This van can be set up with the tool areas and features you want to be able to head out and get things done whether you’re fixing a leaky faucet or rewiring a home. There can be up to fifteen seats in the Savana to make it an easy choice when you’re ready to take it on the road and shuttle people from place to place.

For the 2018 version of the GMC Savana, you’re going to notice the 4.8-liter V8 engine isn’t offered any longer. Instead, you’ll be able to choose the 4.3-liter V6 which serves as the base engine and is mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission to offer a smooth shifting and the quiet ride you’re looking for. You’ll also notice that a rearview monitor is now standard and side blind zone alerts and hill start assist are now offered as part of the options that you can have when it’s time to enjoy the drive in this van.

While the cargo version of this van is offered with the bare essentials, it is a comfortable van to drive and one that’s extremely useful for you.
