1996 GMC Safari SLE

I am the second owner and have had this Safari Van for over 5 years. It has been a great vehicle for me. It is in good running condition, is reliable and has no issues. There are no lights on the dash. I recently put on all new brakes and an emergency brake cable, plus 2 new matching Kumho Solus tires on the rear. The front tires are good. The engine runs great and the tranny shifts smooth. I am a car guy and personally changed the motor oil often and have had the tranny serviced twice. I do this to insure smooth and long lasting operation on all my vehicles. It has a fairly new Sears Diehard Gold 100 battery. The 120,000 miles are low for the vehicle.

The SLE model is a top model and has adjustable lumbar support on the driver and passenger seats which are power. Cruise control, intermittent wipers. Rear A/C and Heat. Premium sound. It has 1 Captain’s Chair in the 2nd row and the 3rd row seat folds down for extra loading. All the rear seats are easily removable if you need gigantic cargo space. It has a roof console with reading lights, storage, thermometer and compass. It has tinted rear and side windows, which open. The roof rack and tow hitch are included, to make it extra handy.

The body looks pretty good. It does have 1 place on the passenger door where it was hit and is pressed in. This doesn’t affect the function of the door in any way. There are a couple of small dents and some scratches but no rust holes. The floor is solid. I have touched up the chips from time to time with the correct paint. The interior is pretty good also with some slight wear. There are no cracks in the driver seat.

Functionally, the automatic door locks don’t work. I use the buttons to lock and the key to unlock the doors. It could be a simple fix, I don’t know. Also the A/C does not work, I never checked why.
I am missing one of the center row Captain’s seats. The spare tire is not in usable condition.

Overall a great vehicle for hauling people or stuff. It has no issues. Buy and drive. I think you could fly here and drive it home to anywhere. I’ll pick you up at the airport. 
I am making NO guarantees, it is being sold as is.

It is being auctioned with a low reserve. The buyer pays shipping. I can assist with the pickup on my end. 
This vehicle is being advertised locally and could be sold at any time.

You are welcome to view, inspect and drive the Safari Van located in central CT. Contact me.

GMC Canyon's jump seats innovate to keep kids safe [w/video]

Sat, 03 May 2014

We dig simple solutions to problems. There's something highly gratifying about making a minute change to fix something, rather than tearing up the playbook. That's what GMC has done with the new Canyon midsize pickup.
When putting a car seat in, car seat manufacturers require that at least 80 percent of the seat's base fit on the bottom cushion. That's a big problem in extended-cab pickups like the Canyon, which feature jump seats with shorter bottom cushions, in place of the larger, more traditionally designed bench.
The Canyon gets around this with extendable jump seats - simply pop out the headrest and slot it into the bottom seat cushion, and the truck can now easily accommodate a child's seat.

2015 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon airbag problem causes recall

Tue, 14 Oct 2014



The recall affects 2,432 vehicles, though only 138 had actually reached consumers.
General Motors quickly fixed an airbag-wiring problem with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, but is still conducting a small recall to repair the midsize trucks that are launching this fall.

2015 Chevy Canyon, GMC Colorado to net up to 27 mpg with 4-cylinder

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Before even officially going on sale to customers, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickup twins are already proving to be a success with dealer orders exceeding original projections. Now, there is even more good news for these siblings, with the fuel economy for their four-cylinder engines netting class-leading numbers and the 3.6-liter V6 getting segment-best payload ratings.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the two trucks makes 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, and in rear-wheel drive and six-speed manual trim it has an EPA rating of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. Opting for a two-wheel drive configuration with the six-speed automatic bumps those figures slightly to 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. Finally, a four-wheel drive model with the automatic 'box carries a 19/25/21 rating. Those numbers are a tick better here and there compared to what's offered by the optional V6.
The twins' major four-cylinder, midsize pickup rivals are the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, but they're both getting somewhat long in the tooth. To compare fuel economy and power, a two-wheel drive Tacoma with its 2.7-liter four-cylinder is rated at 159 hp and 180 lb-ft, and achieves 21/25/22 mpg. The Frontier with its 2.5-liter four-cylinder is good for 152 hp and 171 lb-ft, and carries 19/23/21 mpg figures.
