Savana
For the 2008 model year, the Savana delivers a higher level of safety, a freshened interior, and the performance of the small-block V-8 engine family.
Savana's roster of safety features is enhanced for 2008 with the inclusion of a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and new flat and convex exterior mirrors that offer a wider field of vision.
Other Savana safety features include four-wheel antilock disc brake system with Hydroboost, dynamic rear proportioning, StabiliTrak, driver and front-passenger air bags, and daytime running lamps.
A three-piece frame features fully boxed sections for greater strength and rigidity, while extended and tapered front frame rails are used for improved crashworthiness. Additional tubular frame cross members are used to increase torsional stiffness.
Savana is available in regular (135“) and extended (155“) wheelbase lengths, and can accommodate eight, 12, or 15 people. The cutaways, which can be converted to various commercial, school bus, and RV requirements, are available in 139“, 159“, and 177“ wheelbase lengths.
The 1500 Series vans include light-duty models rated at 7200 lb GVW. The 2500 Series includes heavy-duty models rated at 8600 lb GVW. The heavy-duty 3500 Series includes full-bodied cargo/passenger vans rated at 9600 lb GVW, and commercial and RV cutaway chassis, with GVW ratings of 9900-14,050 lb.
