Currently helping a family member pick out a GM Cargo van. And they want to get the exact or as close to it as Bob Wells has (2015 or newer, 2500, non extended, 4.8 Vortec V8, GMC Savana with the running boards)
I was just wondering since GM stopped putting the 4.8 V8 in their vans in 2017 which was the last year.
Now they only put the 4.3 V6 , the 6.0 liter V8 and a 2.8 liter 4 cylinder diesel engine.
We just took a look at a dealership (stealership) which had a 2017 GMC Savana with the 4.8, non extended, had running boards and bumper guards. However I can only speak for myself, but I was not impressed with it and think we can do better!
So my family member is pretty insistent on getting EXACTLY what Bob Wells has which is a 4.8. But I am currently trying to convince them to possibly think about getting a near new, low mileage (which is what he recommends) 6.0 liter v8 since that is all they really make anymore.
He said in his 2017 video, the 4.8, 5.3 and the 6.0 are the best engines ever put in a van, and my family member wants what he has which is the 4.8 and I am trying to convince them to at least consider the 6.0 as we stand a decent chance of finding one of them that isn't used and abused lol.
With the 6.0 at least you can tow, but you sacrifice gas mileage unlike the 4.8
Just wanted to see what people think.
I should probably mention that my family member watches a lot of Well's videos and they have been pretty ardent on getting exactly what he has, which is the savana 4.8. However the chevy express is the exact same.
