2004 GMC Safari Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 2004 GMC Safari. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this van while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this van designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
the best van ive seen. simple masculine styling, lots of room and great towing capacity. i just wish they brought it back to replace the outdated express.

You gotta love the old 4 spoke steering wheel from GM
Why is it that the frequency number only comes up and not the radio name
@@Jack-qv2lj it’s because the radio it has is incapable of doing that
This van is brilliant. My friends father has one just like it in grey and after 210,000 km and being left out in freezing winters and hot summers it's still going strong!
Saw a 2000 safari at a walmart parking lot and bought it with almost 300k miles on it for 1250 been driving it for over a year now and already got way more than my moneys worth out of it. I love it
I just bought one with over 300k. Runs good!
We used to own one of these vans back in the early 2000's. BEST VAN EVER!! I miss that van so much.
the 1995-2005 GMC Safari/Chevrolet Astro was assembled in
Baltimore Assembly in Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Well at least the second generation was.
You know what amazes me about Kyle's videos? I usually wouldn't be interested in watching a tour of a GMC Safari, but it's done so well that I sit and watch the whole thing and love every second of it. Great vid, Kyle!
كم تكلفه الفان
My friends dad drives one of these. He hauls his HUGE family around in it. I think they still have it, its exactly like this one. I rode in it to go to a soccer game once, it wasn't that bad.
You do not forget a spot at all. I'm really enthousiastic 2. I would love to get here in Holland. Thanks for your attention and dedication!
omg the nostagia im so happy to see one of these again
Yes in my high school years the had the Chevrolet Astro version they were 1998 model years they replaced the Chevrolet Caprice wagons (they had the LT1 Corvette engine & dual exhaust pipes) those things would move when the driver put their foot down. They still had the Astro vans in 2002 when I graduated they used them up until 2006 (I lived near the school and their vehicles had unique markings so I knew they were theirs) I then saw a lot of Chevrolet Express vans. I moved further away from the school and I lost track if what they use now. I think 2005 was the last year of these. Too bad American automakers don't make decent full size vans anymore (Yes I am looking at you Ford why oh why did you discontinue the Econoline Vans) and yes I know this is a mini-van
My aunt has a 2003 Astro -- Great car to travel in!
the engine on the 1995-2005 GMC Safari/Chevrolet Astro
Engine
4.3 L 190 hp (140 kW) V6
**Last Comment** The tailgate is not the same. GMC on the tailgate is GMC TRUCK. (Only for auntie's Safari van) And even when you open the tailgate, You have to press the "Rear Hatch" button Located on inside the car. That's all!
My auntie's GMC Safari is All Wheel Drive and my auntie's husband got the Red GMC Safari AWD. Also, it is a 1998 version so yeah. That's all I forgot to tell you.
I miss my old one 😢 it was a 1996 SLE and smelt great lolzz
We had a 2000 Astro years ago, and it was great for hauling, but had hundreds of problems with everything. We ended up selling it after 4 years, but I found it in Enthusia Professional Racing for the PS2 and with AWD I killed in it. XD
beautiful van my dad had a 96 GMC astro it drove really strong in the snow since they are All wheel drive.
Not all of them, AWD was an option
These vans are nice I wish they were still around they are good for hauling and traveling
i have a 98 safari..200,000 mi..&strill drives strong..these vans are tanks.
I have a 2002 Chevy Astro with 250,000 and still drives strong
Bryan monsivais got an 02 with 98k on it. was given to me by my grandparents who drove it about twice a month since new
My Beauty 2001 Safari's at 410,000km (250,000 miles). I just drove it from Toronto to California and back :D
I crashed my old Astro van offset into a 2015 Explorer that ran a red light, we were both doing 30-ish. The Explorer was totaled but I sold the Astro to a guy who just replaced the front end and all good. They also made structural improvements to the Astro's since 1999 and they fixed the buckling of the floor and roof. Mine was a 2001
I’m not a Chevy person, but I like GMC. Yes, I know the Astro and the Safari are the same van, just like the Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & County/Plymouth Voyager. But I would definitely go for the GMC Safari more than the Chevy Astro. That’s just my own opinion.
This is one of the best vans ever made period.
0:59 the nice amount of air vents right there:)
One of mt favorite Van's. My all time is 1992 Mazda mpv and
get in, turn the key, honk the horn, turn the wheel, check the gears, turn on the lights, roll down(press a button) the windows... man I know it by heart already :D:D
My first vehicle and I would buy it again for nostalgia
Thanks for these videos!! Very helpful to hear the sounds of a well running example so I can check one of these out and be sure it is running well and won't need thousands of dollars in repairs
I love these vans! My mom had a 1988 Astro van but I love these vans! Great video as always Kyle!
This is my dream van!! Wonderful job bro.
I like the captains chairs in the minivan but I have to say being in a van that has a side isle was to acsess 3rd and 4th row seats is much better in regards to seating more people. Great video sabkyle
NICE CLEAN! 2 WHEEL DRIVE, BASE MODEL VAN!!!
I've got a 2002 Astro variant of this. it's red with 98k miles on it in almost new condition
Man..my dad owned the 1997 astro with the roof extension, i practically grew up in that thing :''( road trips everywhere, now at age 16 im missing it. If only the engine didnt go poopie
We had a 2000 model safari we got over 250,000 miles on it. Good vans
I wish they made these. It was like a Mini GMC Savana.
@arcticcat700xtx Probably the best in its class (Minivan) for towing. Rear wheel drive.
I like this conversion van, it sounds like new.
Man, that thing was clean! I’m so used to undercarriage rust it’s hard to believe an Astro/Safari can be that clean. Curious to know what the price on that one was and I didn’t hear whether it was AWD or RWD.
This was a RWD, you can see at 2:14 there is no front differential or axles.
GM should have never cancelled the Astro/Safari, they were great vehicles.
I loathe these kind of reviews... Start by showing what sets it apart from other vans...
My favorite van
This van is proof that simpler is better.
These were perfect for small HVAC contracting work. I'm talking of course about the work model, not this passenger van. These were small but not too; They also get decent gas mileage. My only complaint though, is with the interior. While the one I was in and used didn't have many options (companies hardly ever give you a maxed out work van :p) the dash and the center console, hell even the door pannels felt cheap as hell! I even broke the center compartment by opening it a little too quickly..
the 1995-2005 GMC Safari was assembled in
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
My dad had a 98 Astro. Had about 210k miles on it when it got junked (rust). I hated driving it. It's nice being high up, but the brakes were terrible.
this guy is now wealthy AS HELL. it all started from basic videos like this. Wow.
Best Van's every
I had a1997 with the bench seats in the back and loved it, are they going to make new ones any time soon
the average MPG on the 2004 GMC Safari is
14 City 19 Highway
16/21
Very van with good maintains
2004 GMC Safari, 86,262 miles
my grandpa had an astro the got asafari 2 yrs latter and they were exactly the same but he loved them mainly for the room
I can't believe they made these in 2004. Crazy.
Actually the Astro/Safari was made until 2005, not only model year but actually in production until May 2005! Insane huh? Then they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I think this is why the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savanna exist as they were. Would have been cool if these Astros were still around too.@@hakeemsd70m
I am going to own a safari Canadian van when I'm 16
Do you own one now ?
Go for it there great vans
16 ? Dreaming of a shagging wagon ? LOL
Could you do a series on all different kind of cargo vans and different models and years ?
@ 1:07 theres something about the chimes gm makes... they all sound soo similar
these were the early days of escalde, even though its a minivan. It was the hottest thing to own
You should try to find a chevy astro awd they work really well in the winter time especially in minnesota
See kyle could demo a golf cart. normally a BORING type of video. but the way he does it, weve gotta watch. and enjoy. i do like ht eowrk trucks you toured. thsoe were interesting. as well as the driving vids along with the tours
Hey can you do a 2002 Ford E150
Excellent video sir
these things are a death trap

Classic. After multiple years i'm surprised not to hear "*sigh* (quickly and monotoned) This is an in-depth review of ****"
@kendrickevans301 yes, not sure what years they offered it though.
It's beautiful!
Awesome for camper van 🚐
hey kyle would be sweeet to see a review of a 2011 cadillac cts-V
Nice🙂
Never been on one! Thanks for sharing!
This is a REAL compact van AKA "minivan". Body on frame chassis, RWD, over a 5500lb towing capacity. Gimme one of these anyday over the girly mommy FWD Chrysler minivans.
My dad has one too but it's a 2000 and the color is blue
Camaro Lover does is have grey interior
@mrdestoryit ok i thought so, thanks bro, as well as the astro van right?
@bunny4t4 i think it was the whole time they were around, i could easily be wrong though
You should do a motorcycle report please
Could you do the dodge caravan that was next to this van ( in the video) or the white jeep parked next to that building.
Good video
good camp van, thanks man! also, if you find a 96 lesabre, or older or newer corolla or camry, or maybe suzukis. thanks!
Nice
Please review the Astro van
@mrdestoryit no the cadillac of vans is the olds silhouette

Ah, I own a 1995 Sarfari right now, bought in 2000, it hurl ass and robust as hell. Sure minor stuff break down over the years, but, engine, chassis are all good. I wonder how long its gonna last before it gets put down.
@jason123456789210 What about Venture/Silhouette/Transport? Weren't those to the extent of equal or worse? i can't even tell. but i saw brian o'neil and iihs on dateline
exactly identical to the 2000 Chevy astro i like both tho!!
can you do the dodge grand caravan
Hey Saabkyle. Can you do a tour of a 1985-1994 Chevy Astro or GMC Safari? I like those vans for some reason...
Hey me too I like those vans because their like camper vans kind of like if it was a hippie for teens/adults from 80s 90s and early 2000s
Hey Kyle, what do you use to remove stains in car seats and carpets?
Saludos desde México
@GamePlayer0105 this is true :). cool thing is if your gm astro breaks a chevy part will repair it. ive seen the taxi versions as well. damn htings are nearly indestructible
i want that van :)
Love the vdo
@JeffN727 may i ask.1 did t sell cause of smaller or old design ?

@carsking0956 My dad got into an accident in one of these things at around 70km/h offset and the van didn't crumple that badly.
É muito da hora 😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🎤🎤😍😍
They still made these in 2004 with the early 90s (or late 80s) keyless remotes?
@algarragonz its not a conversion van...
12 people own Chrysler Town & Country
43 people complained about the gas mileage.
