The 2006 2007 GMC Safari van combines one of the highest standard horsepower ratings in its class with a stunning amount of passenger and cargo room, making it the ultimate road trip vehicle. Welcome to our 2006 2007 GMC Safari review. New for 2006 2007, the Safari comes in two distinct models – the standard rear-wheel drive van, and a new, all-wheel drive van, which boasts full-time all-wheel drive. When you consider that both Safari models boast 170.4 cubic feet of usable cargo space, it’s no wonder that so many people want to make Safari part of their lives today.

The 2006 2007 GMC Safari van sports a large standard V6 engine– a Vortec 4300 V-6 that delivers 190 horsepower in every kind of driving condition. 2006 2007 GMC Safari performance is enhanced by:

• Electronic four-speed automatic transmission



• 27-gallon fuel tank



• Front independent coil-spring suspension



• All-season black wall tires

The Safari can even be outfitted to tow up to 5,400 pounds – truly remarkable for a passenger van of this size.
