New 2022 GMC Savana Explorer Conversion Van Review!

[@williamlegall2988]

I think that Mr.Marquardt & Hannah, have to do all the premium demo videos. I've sent this along to a few dozen friends, for the talent, videography and personality exhibited here, is simply refreshing. There are no others at this level. Not even close. I love Explorer vans, but the dozens of other dealer videos are "like watching paint dry". In my small business, I have customers all over the country. I will certainly mention your dealership to anyone within a couple of hundred miles of Barrington and your reviews from happy customers.

[@williamlegall2988]

There's no doubt in one's mind about how Hannah the Camera Lady "thought" the stopping performance would be like, compared to how effortless it is. Never seen anyone that could demonstrate the point , in such an amusing & theatrical manner. Pure GREATNESS!!!

[@williamlegall2988]

I'd be remiss, if I didn't comment that the "camera lady" is super talented at her craft. She's obviously very intelligent and understands "perspective". Best video I've seen from a technical standpoint.

[@williamlegall2988]

This is the classiest video ever, for an Explorer van. Out of dozens of them. This gentleman is pure class, and feel that he must be the owner of the dealership. A presentation like this, makes the product irresistible. Perfect getaway machine for these pandemic times. They do last forever and don't eat tires & brakes. GM V-8 really perform and sound so good. BTW, I'd travel to buy a vehicle from this guy, next time around!

[@williamlegall2988]

Still can't get over how awesome this video is. The two personalities are priceless. (The ultimate dealership owner and the COOLEST videographer) The ONLY fun conversion van video, outside of Amazing Hoovie of course. Explorer Conversion Company must be very appreciative. A whole new much-needed image. Long live Tyler Hoovie & Mr. Marquardt videos!!! (An end to boredom!!!)

I’m a single dad from California And I travel a lot out of state to visit my family &, friends. This would be perfect for me. And would save me hotel costs.!. What would the price be on this one please.!. 😇🙏🏽👍

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

The driver switch was funny

[@ElectricBlueIX]

This might be the best review of the conversion vans I’ve ever seen. Very well done! I want one of these so bad!

[@marquardtofbarringtonbuick5174]

Thank you for the compliment! We'd love to earn your business. Please give us a call!

[@lamara8497]

Man I remember delivering new vehicles to this dealership when I worked at Jack Cooper Transport. I need one of these for strictly road trips.

[@DeadmanR68]

How much do the front seats cost? I want to replace the front seats of my 2013 Silverado 1500 regular cab with these front seats.

[@42luke93]

In junkyards these seats always get scooped up, best bet is to search there.

[@jayclarke777]

I remember my granddad had one of these types of vans from GMC from 92, which he used to travel in a lot. I'm sure he'd be all over this.

[@tarrantcountykid]

What are the dimensions of the sleeping position of the rear seat?

[@Stargazer_2024.]

Loved the vid & interaction with the camera lady😂

[@williamlegall2988]

This is part of what made it so special. I'd bet the camera lady dresses this cute, all the time.

[@westwasbest]

I have a 2011 GMC all-wheel drive passenger van that I converted into a work van, one of the best vehicles I have ever owned, and I do my own mechanical work and aside from the couple of issues they have here and there, they are a very decent vehicle, only issue I don't like about them is the hinged side doors which always become misaligned, I searched until I found a sliding door for mine, flawless! I have the 5.3 engine with almost 150,000 miles on it and it still runs like brand new, I use it everyday for work and it's phenomenal in the snow with the all-wheel drive, unfortunately the exterior is still quite dated, it would be nice if GM would freshen that up a bit.

[@juststuff5216]

I'm from the UK … are these seen as 'Prestige' vehicles ... as much as one might consider an S-Class or BMW 7 Series to be prestige.

[@yogiballa]

[@huaganchen4181]

👍it is an amazing vehicle, I like it so much👍

[@petepeto9335]

How much.? . And import to Finland... Just asking.. 😔

[@kenbearsley8322]

Wonder if they would convert an eight seat model to right hand driver and export to New Zealand? The v8 in all wheel drive would be nice. Failing that, the v6 all wheel drive would do. Get all the radio/stereo, gps system etc done for New Zealand (nz). Certainly would turn heads here.

[@04dram04]

Imagine buying a brand new 2022 luxury van, that looks indistinguishable from a 2003

[@mrcarterfx885]

For $80k too 😂😂😂

[@juststuff5216]

If it ain't broke ....

[@jaybird7454]

[@williamlegall2988]

I have a car collection, new & old. I can tell you, that our Explorer garners more unsolicited compliments than the other VERY sharp cars that we own. Just amazing what Explorer did with a design, that GM did right in the first place. Most especially in lighter colors with their optional "fade" finish. Our Transit-Van looks very "jarring" in comparison, and never once got a compliment. Also, nothing provides the "music" of the powerful GM V-8. BTW, search for GM/Chevy vans on any large internet site & select "highest mileage first". See how many late models come up with crazy high mileage, while advertised as fine running condition.....and STILL valuable! There's something comforting about this old design, just as with a vintage Peterbuilt or Kenworth.

[@jeffharrison5003]

Your right, but looks tons better then a transit, ram and Mercedes. They all look like your getting a package from Amazon 🤣.

[@fdjw88]

this car looks more luxurious than a 2022 BMW x7

[@seabliss22]

What is the towing capacity of the V6 four wheel drive?

[@aaroncoleman4919]

When are they going to do push to start?

[@marquardtofbarringtonbuick5174]

Great question. As of now, there is no news regarding the push start. Are you currently in the market for an Explorer Van? We'd love to earn your business

[@mr0belker]

I own 2015 gmc savana X-SE (this is the top model with all the extra features) 9 pass conversation van, this is a amazing van a real limousine I added extra upgrades on it, like back tail light strips like the truck under tailgate and led cube since the tail light is high and reverse light is so weak and u can't see nothing when driving backwards in dark places also i add hotspot, apple tv and so much more this is our road trip van, kids(have 5) just like it, call this one "daddy van" i can't complain with all this hi tec media the ride is so quit no Yelling crying fighting, and each kids have his on spot captian chair, like 1st class on the plan, van is very quit and powerful , have alt privacy, getting alt impress /questions ppl want to see inside when we arrived to hotels, parks or gas stations special in night time when all is illuminate inside Van is little bumpy in the back I took one leaf spring out to softer rides work so far planing to add air bag ride suspension, but Explore company need to do something about this other them that this is the ultimate van on the road, yes price is high but bottom line if u can offer Get one and make your dream come true like mine get it THIS IS A PRIVET JET ON THE WHEELS

[@WooGnar]

Do I dare check back in anothet 20yrs to see if anything has changed? GMC still lagging on upgrading this line.

[@42luke93]

an interior upgrade would be nice like the Ford E-Series cutaway vans did.

[@williamlegall2988]

Personally, I hope it never changes, except possibly the grille and full LED lighting. I've never had a vehicle garner so much positive attention. Most always from people driving modern, compact SUV's, which is very surprising. The '24 Tesla Model-3 "Highland" may be the world's best car, but this explorer is more useful and also very rugged.

[@leesantos9711]

These vans drive really nice and are a proven unit ! Many modern vans aren't as well built .

[@williamlegall2988]

Modern vans are really homely too. Everyone admires these Explorer GMC conversions.

[@Arun999]

I like the 9 passenger one

[@ابومحمد-غ7ض9ض]

Thank you so much.

[@katej9889]

What kind of warranty coverage does Explorer offer for their components?

[@42luke93]

fair question, unsure.

[@Emperador-19]

Ok ok everything looks cool but how much are we talking about ?

[@williamboyle8918]

$ 211.40

[@beekaye1496]

Would be great if they would upgrade the driver dash, steering wheel, push start for starters. Update the gauges as well. Put A full Panoramic Roof then I could see this being a descent option for families traveling. The gas mileage is probably horrible so updated the power train would be icing on the cake. Great Review for sure.

[@ElectricBlueIX]

I agree it does need some updating to modern GM look with tilt/telescoping wheel, guages, etc. I'm not sure about the full panoramic roof though. Gas mileage with the new 6.6 would be around 14 in town and maybe 18-20 on the highway at a reasonable speed.

[@marquardtofbarringtonbuick5174]

To answer all the questions about how much this Van typically starts at is around 80k depending on what features you add or subtract from the van.

[@Agent007xkgb]

Thank you I will definitely be reaching out sir.

[@papakountry9557]

Loaded up like this they are closer to $100k

[@Shahpoorsasani6798]

Hello, I am from Belgium, I have a few questions. First, what is the price of this van? Is the number of seats custom? Because I am considering 8 + 1. Can a gas or diesel engine be ordered? Thanks

[@kendallsmith1458]

80K US

[@marquardtofbarringtonbuick5174]

Thank you for your comment :) >Price- starts in the lower 80k depending on what features you add or subtract from the van. >Yes, you can order a custom amount of seats. We have vans that can vary from 6 passengers to 12 passengers and everything in-between. >yes these options are available: v6 or v8 for gas and diesel is more common in slightly older models.

[@edurdzr5262]

Had two of these! Bought the 2010 in 2012 and it was durable, reliable and comfortable of course! Decided to sell it and purchase the 2018 in 2018 and it was the biggest mistake of my car buying life! They are no longer built to last! They’ll fall apart in the heat. My siding was peeling on the outside for gods sake. Something was wrong with the engine and the tv kept going in and out! It was beautiful, BUT A HUGE LET DOWN! These vans are no longer built to last! Don’t be an idiot(like I was)by purchasing new! Any vehicle for that matter! This man is lying to you….not worth it at all

[@stephengilstrap]

When will GM make an actual high roof van?? They are waaaayy behind Sprinter, Transit, Promaster. They could have a huge share of the high roof van market. Like what are they waiting on?? The Express has had a great 20 year run, but its time for another 20 year run with a high roof. They dont need to jump into all electric either, just keep the bulletproof V8's and transmission combos, b ut need a higher roof and a new look.

[@xauv]

The music is way too loud. Please just allow the van to sell itself. Don't play that cheesy Loud Music. Explain the features of the product, and allow the product to sell itself!!

[@Jmoney-db4rp]

They could’ve done a better job with the design of the exterior. It looks like a 2001 savana van.. bad move from gmc

How about tell GM to rebadge the Renault Master as our new Express/Savana so you can compete with Sprinter, Transit, and Promaster?

[@JimJones-gd2jy]

Those are completely garbage vans ! That’s why I just bought a brand new GMC Savana with the 6.6l. 1 ton vans are built for Commercial use. Heavy duty. 300 thousand miles easy . .

[@42luke93]

Because its an American van and not a Euro style one!

[@williamlegall2988]

Love it just the way it is. Find the biggest used van site & ask for "highest mileage first". You'll be in shock at how these hold up. Also, the sound of the GM V-8 is so soothing & last forever.

I hope these vans have a full size spare tire , I never understood a tire inflater! That does me absolutely no good while on the side of the road with a gash/flat on a sidewall.

[@williamlegall2988]

They do have a full-size spare that you'd never want to change, while on the road. It is so damn easy to plug a tire, if one has compressor, as this does. I've done this dozens of times, over the past half century. Always carry at least two plug kits. We have a friend that all four tires got stabbed. 3-4 plugs in each, did the job, until he got new tires a month later, as it was known that the criminals would come back a day or two later, to collect their new tires & rims. Not kidding. Anyway, never change a wheel on a big vehicle, while traveling. With a kit, you'll limit you and your passengers, from exposure to danger.

[@Pengo64436]
