What’s new

　　The StabiliTrak stability control system becomes standard later in the model year, but only on one-ton regular wheelbase vans.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Powerful Vortec engines and some unique features make the Savana (and its twin, the Chevrolet Express) pretty much the only game in town if you're looking for a full-size van that doesn't look and drive like it was designed two decades ago.
