2001 Chevrolet Astro Van Features - Dealer Training

[@testmcgee9230]

Wow, awesome video! Thanks! One of the most handsome vans ever produced. Still looks great. AWD, powerful V6, cheap parts... truly a beast. If you’re handy, these are the best bang-for-the-buck adventure vans by an order of magnitude. Sadly, they are being scrapped at a high rate these days.

I have to confess that I have always had an "It's Complicated" relationship with the Astro/Safari. I LOVED how roomy & comfortable they were, how smoothly they rode, & how quiet they were.........& that 4.3-liter V6 is a TORQUE MONSTER, but fit & finish left A LOT to be desired. I will NEVER forget that it was an Astro which brought me to see Home Alone for the first time, however. I will NEVER forget cruising to Showcase Cinema in Woburn, MA in a blue 1986 Chevy Astro full of kids, BLASTING C&C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)".........ON THE CASSETTE PLAYER (Man, I'm old!!!!!)!!!!!!!

I'm almost at 450,000kms on my 01 Astro. Original engine/trans. Besides having a broken drivers door handle and a pretty loud squeal when it's cold, she runs like a dream and still has tons of power!!!

A real shame GM didn’t choose to update the Astro to its K1500 styling by this point, but instead let it die in 05. Such a bad ass van and so easy to maintain.

Now you got to get a full sized conversion van if you wanna go old school like this unfortunately. No more midsized anything old school. Just like modern midsized pickup trucks.

[@PearComputingDevices]

Maybe dated, but sure was one of GM's better designs for the long term. I own a 94' AWD.. it's very 80's feeling sure, but it's tough as nails. GM could have learned a thing or two by re-visiting the engineering of these older trucks.

[@ADVRider78]

Best Video No KZbin !!!!

[@MrBluoct]

Thanks. Where’s the last version of this van’s dealer vid ?

[@brystahh3287]

Am I able to use it for a podcast video? I will give you credit.

[@petess10page]

Sure

[@tall_dude1233]

The 4.3 wasn't the most powerful engine in a minivan at the time. Chrysler's 3.8 V6 had 25 more horsepower. Unless they're talking about torque figures.
