Quality and very reliable.
I have owned this truck for 2 years. It is a Sierra SLE which is a comfortable entry level, wished I would have gotten the SLT. Have only 3 areas of (could have been better) 1. approach angle 2. APP or instrumentation management for the 4 wheel system doesn't show hardly any info. 3 Fuel consumption control, no options for
various usability IE... Towing, Hauling, Performance and Economical.

Great value solution to my van needs.
Perfect solution to my van needs. I needed a very reliable used van that was a great value with some warranty left. The van will be used to pull a 6x12 cargo trailer that will primarily haul my very large and heavy motorcycle nationwide with extra room for living essentials. My initial 600 mile drive in the van confirmed
the van had the required power for my travel needs. The van fits perfectly with my 6x12 cargo trailer. I fully expect to have years of reliable travel with this very stable General Motors vehicle. I had done extensive research on finding the right van to fit my needs.

Fabulous Van
This is our fourth Savana conversion van in a row, and that says a mouthful. We have been so thrilled with the overall reliability and performance. The improvements made over the years have really paid off and this 2016 2500 model is the best one yet!

Too small for competitors
This van has half of the cargo space as the competitors do, making it obsolete. Good power, average handling.
