In my mind the GMC Safari Van is one of the most versitile vehicles that was available. It is solidly built and utilitarian, but is still comfortable enogh for every day life. The 4.3L V6 has enough power to pull loads that are in the range of pick-up trucks. We have used our van to pull a full size pick-up on a full car trailer and still have enogh power to pass those slower cars. The throttle response is a little slow at times, but when it does kick in it will accelerate very quickly when not loaded. With the bucket seats in the second row makes it is very comfortable on longer drives. Interior is rugged, but nice enogh that it isn't sore on the eyes. Only a few problems with the a/c ,but that is not unusual for most vehicles of this age. On the outside this type of van looks good. The one we have has the running boards and slight fender flares, which makes it look lower and cleaner. The major down side to this type of van is the lesser gas milage that it gets. Some of the other downsides of larger vehicles apply to this van. Large blindspots and larger turning circle are two of the biggest problems, but if you can deal with these this is a great vehicle. When you can get your groceries, a couple sheets of ply wood, some 2x4's, tow a camper trailer, and get the kids from sports its a great all round vehicle.
