The 2003 GMC Safari is a minivan based on a classic truck-mounted
design, one of two in the sector (with the Chevy Astro).
The result is a solid sporty feel that holds the road with
great stability and security, especially in the All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) model. A three-door van with good manners, the
2003 GMC Safari will serve as a family runabout as well
as it does as a commercial vehicle with lots of room for
passengers and cargo.
Available Models
The 2003 GMC Safari has a single 7-passenger model with
a few different options packages that can be used to bring
up the trim-level. These include a couple of SLE packages
and an SLT package as well. In addition, a series of other
options packages and major stand-alone options are available.
