Larger 16-inch aluminum wheels are now standard on all models while the brake system has been improved with Hydroboost power assist and Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP).

Edmunds says

If you need a small utility van that's tough enough to handle day after day on the job site, the Astro is about the only game in town.

1994 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Ext Minivan

This 94 Astro CS Extended now has over 138,000 miles on it, and the only breakdown was the EGR valve at 120,000 miles. All I did was normal maintenance (oil changes, alignment, tires, and tuneup). General Motors built this one right.

2000 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Minivan

This is one hell of a van. Aside from the known transmission PCV valve problems (which can be fixed more permanently by using an aftermarket valve), this has to be the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Incredibly well designed. Engine is very powerful, more so than any other van I've driven in its class. Unfortunately, Chevy discontinued the Astro as of 2006 so '05 is the last …

2000 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Minivan AWD

I've used my '00 AWD Astro Cargo van for work; where I frequently travel many miles on and off road. The AWD system works well when going up steep dirt hills, and has good poor weather traction. The van is easy to manuver in parking lots, and has nice passing and acceleration power.

2000 Chevrolet Astro Cargo 3dr Minivan

I bought this van with 150k on it. It is about to flip 200k. The original motor/transmission/rear end are functioning flawlessly. I think it is interesting that it is rated to tow 3500 lbs and most front wheel drive van are rated at 1,000-1,500. Just goes to show you that rear wheel drive is a stronger design.-my neighbor has a courier service with a 1999 astro van that had 400k when he …
