Full 2014 GMC Savana Cargo Review

What's New for 2014

For 2014, the GMC Savana Cargo van is essentially unchanged.

 

Introduction

Few vehicles embody the term "beast of burden" as well as the 2014 GMC Savana Cargo van. This traditional full-size cargo van from GMC provides nearly 300 cubic feet of space for tools or products. It also offers a variety of powerful engine choices and boasts substantial towing capacity. So yes, it has the basic requirements nailed down. But compared with more modern rivals, there's no escaping the fact that the Savana was last redesigned nearly two decades ago and lags behind in key areas.

Among traditional full-size vans, the Savana (and its twin, the Chevy Express) fares well. It's similar in design to the GMC (in either case, we're talking about a large, snub-nosed box on wheels) but the GM vans offer more engine choices, including a compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered V8 as well as a torque-rich diesel-powered V8.

Of course, by virtue of its size and strong available diesel engine, the 2014 GMC Savana Cargo van still does the job as a traditional work van. But unless purchase price or the availability of a diesel V8 is paramount, we suggest also considering newer competitors that offer more versatility and refinement.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2014 GMC Savana Cargo is a full-size van that's offered in two wheelbases and three load ratings.
