1992 GMC Safari SLT review from North America
"An inexpensive, low-maintenance van."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a fuel pump over the summer, but that's just routine maintenance, no complaints.
General comments?
I bought this van (Safari SLT), after owning a 1996 Sonoma SLS extended cab which I had bought new. I like both vehicles very well, having no problems with either/or. I wanted a van with windows, instead of a cargo van. I use this van not only for everyday use, but to haul dirt bikes, gear, etc. and to also pull an enclosed trailer for trailing riding and racing Enduros, hare scrambles. I took the rear passenger seats out, so I have 8 ft. of room, and a trick cargo van with factory tinted windows. The Safari vans are a stout, bullet-proof, just a tad bit smaller than full-size van, but a real workhorse, unlike the soccer mom weenie minivans.
