You guys know what to do, so let me know! Would you buy one?
Would definitely consider buying. Been in the market for a conversion van for bout 1yr. Not sure if I should just wait for one of these to come out. Conversions have been popular as of recent, and it feels like the automakers are catching on. Although smaller, the VW California Camper is very nice, but only offered in Europe. The GMC Savana AWD conversion is also nice.
If this beast were to be made and offered I'm 4x4, I would camp out like a Christmas sale!
This would be dope!
I am a retired GM auto worker yes by golly I'd definitely would buy one w the 6.2 Allison Trans looking for something I could travel in comfort ..sign me up
YES!!!! I would.
Offer this van in a empty cargo style van, reasonably priced so young people can afford it and customize it to their liking for camping and travel and it will sell like 🌮’s at the corner stand!
I couldn't agree more! The damn sprinter vans need some competition!
@@BrianMello Fo Sho!
GM, like all companies, refuse to offer basic vehicles. Everything has to be loaded up and overpriced.
Sprinter does have competition. The Transit
@@robertpedroza6794 Hmm, I wonder who else would want to buy an empty cargo van besides lifestylists?
Companies with an aging fleet? Nah, not a chance!
Yes, I would buy it. Needs:
1. Big horsepower 400+ and big torque 500+
2. 3/4 or 1 ton capability for towing 10k + and payload 3k +
3. 4WD
Ok.
Now let's talk down payment...........
Yeah is be okay with just a 4 banger turbo
With those specs CG they also need the Duramax in there. Name it the Baracus. Make a limited edition with every member of the core A-Team. Would definitely buy one would go with my OG lunchpail and thermos from elementary school.
@@hidalgoh79 cool. Tin or plastic?
Metal.
Absolutely! If it had the styling represented here, with the interior space of a van, and 4x4, at or near the price of large SUV, I would absolutely buy one.
With van life being a huge deal beyond measure lately this could be a huge money maker. Especially if they add a good 4x4 system
@Kevin Thomas You are on it, this could almost be competition for the sprinter van!! If it’s done right and make an affordable version it would be good for Uber/Lift Limousine work etc.!!
That's where the astro comes in, if they ever make a new chevy astro.
A 4x4? Do you want to plow the fields with it?
Having owned Escalades and Silverado’s, this is definitely something I would buy. Wow! You’ve taken a family vehicle and turned it into something anyone would be proud to own! Damn!!!
My thoughts exactly!
If it seats 12 plus cargo comfortably, has 4wd with off-road capability, has an aggressive stance as in this artist's rendering, has some great tech and luxury inside, I would certainly buy one.
me too
My dad had a GMC Vandura when I was a kid and the countless of awesome memories I had are priceless! Long road trips to visit family for the holidays, rest stops at gas stations, picnic areas, and since the Walmart's were opened 24-7 back then, midnight shopping for toys and snacks. Fun times having my father drive my entire soccer team to the games and fastfood drive-thru afterwards. I've never owned a van before, but I might now! 🙌
The a-team addition would be an collection if it was to be build.
No one remembers the “A” Team. A super luxe executive version makes more sense to the current market, in my totally unfounded opinion.
Came just for this comment.
That A-Team concept van is absolutely gorgeous. Hell yeah, I would buy one!
I've always had vans ... VW ... Ford Econoline ... GMCs ... Chevys ... My favorite is my current 2004 AWD Chevy 1500 passenger van. I have always wondered WHY didn't anyone build a van with a comfortable interior and a power train like 4WD pickups that will tow 10K. Yes, if it were affordable, I'd jump on a van like that.
Absolutely
A Team!!! I love it when a plan comes together
*Says with cigar in mouth*
Looks good, but gm would over-price it into a death role.
Exactly
No doubt.
It’s the dealer tax cause of COVID I paid 105k for my 2021 dmax Denali that was listed for 72k last year 🤯🤦♂️
Damn dude are you crippled? I just would have started walking.. That's like almost 40 acers of good farm land on Puerto Rico for that price.. no offense if you are crippled that seems like a good truck.
SHIIIIT...THATS 40 ACRES OF GOOD FARMLAND IN MICHIGAN
How cool would that be! A good looking full size van with every option from simple work van to top of the line versions. Pro Tour lowered sport version and a lifted 4x4 off road version!
Bought a 1978 new for $5,100 in PGH Pa. Cargo, 3 on the tree, positraction, 350, 4 barrel. Had it for 27 years. This one makes me fall in love again.
I would LOVE the Astro version, but this one is great too!
Had 1978 Chevy G20. Pulled a 22 ft travel trailer, then a 28ft travel trailer had plenty of room for air 5 of us.Yes I would consider buying one.
Gotta love the old GM vans, thanks for stopping by my channel!
This would be awesome, especially with a hybrid diesel set up, but GM has some of the best engineers they NEVER listen to
Sadly, that is often true. They listen to the damn bean counters instead, many whom know absolutely nothing about the automobile, just like Ralph Nader.
I would most certainly purchase a new GMC Vandura if GM decided to make one like this rendition. That ting is beautiful!!!
Thanks for watching Mark!
I am NOT a GM fan at all but I’d buy that GMC van in a hot minute. So badass!
I'd definitely buy one. But like in one of the other comments, it would need either a big block or maybe even the Duramax Diesel in that animal. And of course it needs to have a reasonable price tag. Other than that, fricken awesome!!!👍🏽
I think a DMax would be the perfect solution! Thanks for watching!
Not only would I buy one, I would crowdfund for it to be produced. Not only for The A-Team look but simply that looks better than any GMC or Chevrolet full size truck/ SUV/ whatever the front-wheel-drive little bitty vans are on the market now, those little bastards piss me off, anyways back to my point that's the best-looking full size, " I want a get!", vehicle I seen in awhile......
You can buy the GMC Savanna with the duramax engine. Just swap the badges to say vandura instead.....??? Gm never stopped making vans the Chevy Express and GMC Savanna have been around for decades.
That reasonable price tag goes out the window with duramax and allison trans. With the 4x4 and full loadout i would bet north of $110k at least
You wouldn't get it as a 4x4 if u have the diesel engine though. Gm never made a 4wd van in the 3500 series savanna or express van series. Only a 1500 short wheel base came AWD. I don't see that changing.
I had a '94 vandura 3500. It was a tank. It drank gas like you breathe air. It also burned about a quart of oil per month. Still, it carried thousands of pounds of cargo every day for years. It wasn't the best car, but it was a strong and reliable workhorse
A quart of oil a month isn't bad. A quart every week is what is bad.
I'd buy it. The styling and design is very updated and modern by today's standards. I hope GM is considering making this Vandura build a reality.
A high top, 4x4 as standard, lockers, and cargo body would propel these into highly desirable overland platforms.
Camper buildouts are prized much more than passenger haulers, and it has been tough to compete with Sprinters in that market so far.
I’ve considered finding an old one, a 4WD to customize. Buying a new one with new technology and features? Much better! This platform is 10x better than Sprinter vans. For 100x it must have 3/4 or 1 ton platform, simple push rod big block V8 like the Ford Godzilla, decent towing.
Totally agree with you.
In a heartbeat. Some of our favorite road trips were in a conversion.
I grew up with a conversion van too, it was the best!
@@BrianMello no doubt. Lived iurs
I own a 2014 Chevy Express 1500 cargo to earn my living in hvac service. It’s the last of the factory awd models. I don’t spin a tire in Minnesota winters. I pray GM will get there hoota and build another one before mine wears out. 5.3, 180000 mls. Been really good to me! Still going strong.
I would definitely buy this with the tow package
Heck yes! Preferably in the Denali trim with the big 6.6 Duramax like my new GMC Dually
With, and this is a must, a close to 10k lbs of towing for the 2500 class and up
Id like the twin turbo cadillac motor with the hot v set up
I like where your heads at Chip!
YES! This one! Of all the possible vans you've shown us, THIS would be the one I'd buy!
yes
Yes. This is the ultimate Vanlife van. It's the perfect size for more luxury and comfort without having to move into a traditional RV. I think this would sell well.
These vans share a special place in my heart...used to work at a van customizing shop a long time ago ....You could buy a "shell"...completly stripped down...only a drivers seat inside...which was a fiberglass shell with a seat belt...
Give the guy's who keep creating these concepts should get a raise.
or a job at GM
That job... Is $650,000 a year. Yeah... Let's give them another raise!
How about you hire him?
Most definitely would buy one. All the room inside with less length than most big suv's. I currently still have an express van in my garage, unfortunately just cargo style for work.
Awesome... I have a 2000 Safari. Great for travel...
Got an 1996 express traveler in excellent condition, 1owner, 58000miles, fully loaded.
I am selling it
@@TxDuallyNation is it still available
@@backonthelevel85 yes sir
That's actually the best-looking van I've ever seen. Without the A-Team red stripe of course. If it had all wheel drive or 4WD to take it on trips and camping? Maybe. Looks great though.
I’m a van owner this is my third van a 2000 E150 conversion I had it going on 13 yrs I put over 50k into it now now I have to do it over. I got 265k on it she running strong I’m not happy about the tranny . But I like to see the new van designs yes I will bye one . Gd to see the van culture coming back. I haven’t move my van in 6 months I move it today first thing in the morning then I see this video it’s a sign I need to get back into my van. People wanna bye but for what they offering I rather keep it. Love from the Big🍎BX/Harlem SHAZZAM
Yes! The body lines, the styling, this is the right one. A commercial/fleet option would be nice.
If it can be had with a diesel 3/4 or one ton and 4x4 with a tow package it would definitely be in the realm of possibility
Just sold my custom 87 Vandura with a high top and eyebrow windows. I miss the hell out of it, wish I never sold it.
That thing was like a rolling social experiment… almost every guy who saw it would say “oh you have a creeper van” (even though it was bright orange and had windows so no, not a creeper van) and then would try to look inside. Yeah right, you just called my big orange baby a creeper van, piss off.
Women however LOVED that thing. I would come out of work or a store and would catch them taking selfies with it and more than a few times girls I didn’t know at all would just jump inside uninvited to check it out. This didn’t happen at car shows or anything just random parking lots!
Just goes to show however cool something is guys usually want approval from other guys before they’ll say so but girls… not so much.
Hell yes, that looks pretty cool. I would buy that and customize it but would still prefer an old Ford, Chevy or Dodge.
Why the hell hasn’t anyone made a cool modern minivan yet like the old Corsair Greenbriers (no the MPV and Astro were not cool. The Previa and space van got close) ? Way overdue.
Yes id totally buy one. Parents had a chevy winnsbago van like that in the 90's and it was the shit to travel in. lots of room. Now if they add all the latest Sierra Tech and comforts id think tons of peeps would want that thing.
That is badass! It would’ve been cool to see the roof mounted lights with the gray painted hood & roof too though. As previously mentioned, the Duramax also! Still awesome!!!👍🏼
Heck yeah!!! And an all-electric power plant. After all, this is 2021 and not 1921.
We need to get a hold of GM. Matter of fact, every person here should upload a video telling gm to make this van with that design and the Astro van. With enough voices, they’d build it.
All part of my master plan....GM is absolutely watching these videos!
YES!!! I had a 1985 model and finished the interior with a second row captain chairs, 6 speakers, 2 sub woofers and one base that vibrated the surrounding neighborhood. And being a teenager at that time, put in a bed as well ;-)
I'm not on the market for a new vehicle, but if I needed a van for any sort of reason, this design [would] be at the top of the list. This looks rugged and tough and best of all, cool as ****. Definitely would love to see this shining in my driveway. 🤘
Yes, I feel gm should REALLY Think about this! I love this concept and would love to buy one!
True but Knowing GM they'll just build another crossover
The picture of the new one looks sick! I'd definitely get one of those, especially for road trips.
I have lived in a van down by the river for 3 years. And have always loved the Vandura. Would buy.
People who pay $110 a tank of fuel and get 400 miles or less are fooling themselves thinking they can keep that up for long.
With today's fuel prices, it would HAVE to be a hybrid to get anyone to buy it. It would NEED 30+ MPG Hwy to be feasable.
Everybody loves a good VAN when you living down by the river
Love It! The amount of options could totally eclipse any current Denali package GMC available.
You obviously are an impulse buyer. Do your research on such a big investment first. Smarten up.
@@deputy3690 WHAT!!! That is very presumptuous of you to assume that one is an impulse buyer without knowing them. I've never made an impulse purchase of any vehicle, I've always taken my time when purchasing a new vehicle. That's why I still drive a 2010 Honda Insight EX and a 2006 GMC 2500 Sierra. So I ask you, how much do you know about GMC quality??
@@RainArchiver Your right. I was ticked off after watching the manhunt in Florida and made impulse comments about the GMC van.
I had a 76 Chevy short wheel base van with a 350 engine plain but I fixed it up for what we called shagging an shagging I did what a great time in America
Had a 77 dodge b200 tradesman conversion low top with a 360 and a 727 torqueflite transmission. Sliding side door and custom push button vinyl roof and superman small windows on the side back. Loved that van and was so reliable
Yes and one of these auto makers need to hire WB Artist ASAP. I would start growing my mohawk now if i knew this was coming out soon!
I don't want a minivan, but this type of Van would be absolutely something I would have. And it's not like for the family. It will be something like my truck. I still want the power and muscle. I'm going to call it the tank and it's going to do everything I need for the most part. And yeah it will be comfortable as well bas functional inside
I got an 05 Astro recently and converting it so I could go off the grid for a week or so at a time, got the solar setup and the front lifted so far and it is addicting looking up different upgrades and interior conversions. Get one man you won’t be disappointed, tank of a v6 motor
Yep! IF:
- 2 side doors
- AWD or 4WD
- Towing of 10k minimum
- Modern drivetrain and electronics
- 400 bhp at least
Absolutely would grab one. Im rolling a 95 right now with 122,976 on it. 5.7 V8 350. She's still purring like a kitten.
I would definitely buy this van so long as the price is right AND it comes in a 4-wheel drive version. Also, an all-electric version would be nice.
Electric? GET OUTTA HERE!!! You just don’t get it do you?😩🥴🤪
Exactly, I'm only buying electric cars from now on too. Too much BS with Gasoline cars and too much maintenance. I have a tesla model 3 and love it. So much better than gasoline unreliable crap.
@@shaneb1313 same for me if it’s not electric, it’s no good,seriously this thing gonna make 16 mpg,whatever…….
I own a 1985G 20 that has been converted, and I have to say that with everything from transit and metros, this would make such a huge impact not just for conversions but also for utility purposes. I would love to have a Van like this and be able to use it for video production/media use!
Yes- this is what is needed for local work projects
Yessss I want one...I think it would also look amazing as the MYSTERY MACHINE ...I am a van lover from the 70s...for all of us vandura lovers PLEASE GMC build this one ...yessss
If a van would look as gorgeous as this one, I will not have second thoughts of buying one.
Yessss. A panel would be great. Build the interior myself to personalize it. Don't care about the gas price, it would be a daily driver.
Yes 4 wheel drive
You'll be repairing it constantly and it won't last long. Piece of garbage they are
I've always been a truck and van guy, so yeah if the finances were right, I would absolutely buy one.
Yes absolutely! ❤️ and 4x4 is a must. Don’t give it a powerful engine omg ‘nuff said 🏆
Chevrolet needs a new design for the express van. I'd love to have a work van with this new body and front end.
C'mon GM let's get a move on.
Most definitely i would be all over this. Just imagine this thing with a little lift and some bigger off road tires this thing would go fram beautiful to cray amazing. I dont just want one i need one. GM please build this beast!
As a 30+ year auto glass vet, the mention of a new G van makes me break out in a cold sweat!!!!!
Definitely need one for my road trips with the wife and grandkids.
4wd & diesel would be a must have. Love a good van. Had my E350 with a V10 for almost 20 years.
Hell yeah I would get one. Pops had one when we were transferred (military) to the Philippines in the 80's. Love that van as a kid.
As an adult, I'll tell you why sprinter is killing the game, it's simple. YOU CAN STAND UP in the back. I'm about to be 50. All that crawling around is over!! Make one where you can stand up, then shut up and take my money, lolol.
That's absolutely amazing! 100% I would buy this. The way it sits, all tricked out with the red trim. I would pay $90k for it. I'm sure you could get $120k, but keep it within the grasp of everyday hard working peoples. Sick Concept!!
I would definitely buy that. From 2004 up to last year I was driving a Civic. I moved up to a Ford Explorer, and now I can’t see myself ever in a sedan or coupe ever again. If I saw this in the lot I would definitely stop for a test drive.
I'm not a chevy guy. That said. I love that van. If it had the duramax engine and 4wheel drive. I would buy a chevy. I love big passenger vans. I have a ford 15 passenger van now. If they build that van it would be the baddest van on the market. Would it sell. I absolutely believe they would sell out.
Equipped with 4x4 and 6.2L, yes. I'd say a very real possibility that id pick this over a comp equipped yukon or tahoe.
Yes, if it has all the boxes, I can check that SUV offers and a bit more. I would totally buy it.
If it looked like that ...came in a 2500 with 4x4...I would absolutely buy that.
I love my GMC's but I like the Astrovan a little better. Either way GM needs to build both
Absolutely
ASTRO guy here to I miss that van😪
Agreed! Vans are much better family haulers than SUV’s. Easier to get into. Sliding doors don’t hit cars parked beside you. And the shorter front overhang makes it easier to park. And these vans look badass.
I love it when a plan comes together
I’m a wheelchair bound disabled paraplegic and yes I would love to buy and invest in one.
May not kill the SUV movement, but would put a dent into the Mini Van movement for sure. Give it all the best parts of a minivan like collapsing rear seats into the floor, floor storage, 1 button push sliders - yup that would do it.
I've looked at all your van videos by far this is the best one I'm sold on it I would buy one immediately
Would definitely like to have one with AWD and Duramax or 6.6 gas option.
As a Van Guy since the 70s I would as long as it had decent headroom, Like the spoiler skip the red painted slash. Get real out in the boonies wheels tires and ride height suspension. Drivetrain strong enough and set up to haul a boat or travel trailer. And set up to be livable for all climate conditions. 4×4 would be fantastic but not necessarily a game changer. 3/4 or 1 ton please. Solar panels battery banks and top notch extreme weather insulation with the spray on noise and moisture barrier. Set up for getting out of dodge if necessary. And lets not forget the top of the line stereo system cause I have a huge rock and blues addiction. Is that 2 much to ask 4?
I've loved GM vans since my 72 long window in ockra ! I've had an 85 Astro 2wh, I now have a 97 AWD and a 97 Chevy conversion along with a several others vehicles. YES, I would buy a new Chevy/GMC AWD Astro in a Heartbeat !❤❤
Definitely! I’d buy that. The Cadillac version you recently offered was pretty sweet. I think either one would be an improvement over the big SUV’s
One advantage a van has over SUVs is the one that they have over panel deliveries - more interior space with the same bumper to bumper length. Strange how Datsun was able to revive the panel delivery and give it van-style side doors.
Yes I would buy it! I have an ‘81 Chevy Beauville..I absolutely love retro & this new GMC van could be my daily driver. I literally can’t stand driving cars with no head room & are difficult to get in & out of.
I have six kids and I would totally buy one over anything currently in the market!
"You just had to"
Absolutely!
Yep, I would definitely buy one and travel the country outfit it as living quarters.
Looks great! I’m wondering about price.
Hell yes , I grew up in the 60's and 70's and remember all the really cool custom vans and knew people that had some . They were awesome !!!
in my youth some 40 years ago i had a Plymouth van customized before all the parking restriction stayed right on the beach with the radio tuned low it was such a great time
@@santiagovasquez1404 And I loved the old Sun burst or Star burst Mopar mag wheels they had back then , they were beautiful.
3:28 looks pretty darn good? Holy moly That thing looks freaking amazing GMC needs to hire that guy and build that thing immediately. 5:05 That astro van looks pretty sweet as well 👍I think I'm in love ❤️ with them both.
I would buy one in a heartbeat. This is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful! You sir obviously are an impulse buyer. Do your research about vehicles first.
@@deputy3690 If you think I am an impulse buyer so be it. Then i would say that everyone else on this Forum is also an impulse buyer. Why don't you read the rest of the comments on here before you let your mouth run off before your brain.
@@richk6138 ok.
Love my express van, but it's getting some miles on it. Would definitely be looking into a 4x4 option for family adventures!
I vote that they create this van so I can purchase 10 of them right now cash money
1:04 looks like my old 88 hi-top van, (traded my 87 IROC in on that thing, used it ONE time for a Ski trip) i got that thing stuck under the Galleria Mall parking garage once, the one in Dallas, TX off 635. where you exit 635, and pull into the west entrance of the mall's parking garage.. stuck half in, half out.. during rush hour traffic, embarrassing! had bunch of people honking at me, had no way out.. people trying to pull in the mall entrance i was blocking. finally a cop made his way up through there, and got cars to move over, back up.. what a nightmare! sold it shortly after and went back to muscle cars, with a 89 Turbo TA ☮
I love this van! I remember when I was a young lad in the late 80's My pops bought one and had 2 bench seats in the back to carry the Family for road trips. It was a 2 tone lite brown and beige with the windows tinted. Was a sweet looking van back in the day.
I’d love to see GM do that revive. It needs to happen. I’m a landscaper and I do pretty large installs sometimes. It’d be nice to have one vehicle to tow our equipment and put the entire crew in as well. Id run a fleet of these vanduras if I could.
Chevy express conversions are availabale in a 3500 diesel
Even though it 's been a thing for a while now, every time I see renderings like this, I'm still amazed at how realistic they look.
The only thing I would critique is the front door looks too short which would make the front of the cab too small for practical use. I mean people still have legs and feet that need to go somewhere. Between the wheel well and the engine box, there'd be no room for your toes.
My critique was so much more basic, wondering why the sharkfin antenna and the original whip style? 🤷♂️
That thing is absolutely Sharp as a tack. I'd flex the hell out that
