'05 Chevrolet Uplander

Easily one of the best minivans that has come out of the GM factory, the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander continues to meet the high standards that GM has set for its best-selling minivan range. It is an ideal replacement for the company’s Venture series, and an excellent long-distance vehicle.

Though it is a minivan, it’s long nose and truck type styling makes it look more like an SUV, giving it a more rugged reputation and a flexible feature list. Available in the base model with s V-6 3.5 liter 200 horsepower engine, the 2005 Uplander also features an optional towing package that allows one to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

The 2005 Chevrolet Uplander offers excellent value for money, and is loaded with practical features.

MINIVAN OR SUV? YES!

At first glance I almost mistook the 2007 Chevrolet Uplander for a classic Sports Utility Muscle Model -- no doubt what the sneaky engineers had in mind when they designed it. Inside, however is seating room for 7, and plenty of it, so there's no skimping on family values here. In fact there's a whole load of standard features frankly too numerous to discuss here. If you want the full scoop, we've got specs, pricing info (you'll be impressed at the cost, thousands less than comparable models in its class) photographs and plenty of other automotive intel on the 2007 Chevrolet Uplander. Not to mention financing info, available for your perusal
