This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the Envoy adds several items to the options list, including XM Satellite Radio (and a new stereo to accommodate it), a DVD-based navigation system and adjustable pedals. There are also a few minor equipment changes this year. In SLE models, the door trim is now vinyl instead of cloth, and lumbar adjustment for the front seats is two-way manual rather than the previous four-way feature. Additionally, there is no longer a power outlet in the cargo area, and SLE badging will no longer grace the B-pillars. SLT models also get a revised steering wheel. Lastly, when playing a DVD in Envoys with the optional entertainment system, you can now hear it through the audio system in addition to the wireless headphones.

Pros:
  • Plenty of cool options, strong six-cylinder power, attractive interior design.
Cons:
  • Numb steering, low-grade interior pieces, sloppy handling around corners.

  • Best Truck on the Road - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    After reading others reviews of the Envoy, I have a few comments. For people complaining of "knocking underneath, rough shifting" get your front suspension checked (tie rods/hubs...) Im 20, make $10 an hour, These are NOT EXPENSIVE TO FIX (Cheapos, come one, seriously, though.) Not only is this truck WAY better looking than any 4Runner, Explorer, Whatever but it has THE SMOOTHEST ride quality out of any Comparable SUV I have ever Ridden in (Ive ridden in a ton of SUVs). My Envoy has 170,000 miles and I have yet to experience a smoother riding vehicle. If you go to a reliable service center, you will realize this is one of the best late model trucks on the road today.

  • Been good with some problems - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I have had this envoy since April 4, 2004 it has 172,000 miles on it, been across the states east to west and north to South. Had an emission sensor problem when it was new, a computer problem about 3 years cost approx $2400.00, just tried to have it smogged in Calif and it has a bad valve in the 3 hole and a bad left front bearing. All in all it has been a good vehicle and I believe we have gotten our moneys worth would buy another if I ever get rid of this one.

    I absolutely love my Envoy. Wonderfully smooth drive with the most incredible turning radius Ive ever experienced. I have never been more satisfied with a vehicle.

  • Envoy Review - 2004 GMC Envoy

    I love my 2003 GMC Envoy. The only thing I would change is the fuel economy and the design of the front bumper, I dont like the big gap between the front of the vehicle and the front bumper. But other than that everything is awesome. It is very comfortable to ride in and fun to drive. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  • Explorer to Envoy - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Brand new, but so far we have enjoyed the handling and performance. We have gone from RAV 4 to Explorer now to Envoy and this is the best of the lot. We are high mileage users and the gas mileage is outstanding

  • 2004 Envoy SLT 8 cyl 4wd - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I was looking for a mid size SUV with adequate head and leg space for my husband and boys who are all tall. The Envoy has substantial space suprisingly in all 3 rows. I found the vehicle to handle exceptionally well, and the V8 has a lot of power in comparison to to the V6. We had 7 family members including adults for a short trip and there was plenty of room for everyone. I did a lot of comparisons with other mid size SUVs and I am very happy with my choice.

  • I love my Envoy! - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I recently purchased a 2004 Envoy SLT 4wd and I have never loved a vehicle more! I disagree with edmunds review about the steering. The ride is so smooth you forget you are in a truck. The leather interior is beatuful and it has so many options after a month I am still discovering them. In the snow it handled perfectly. I highly recommend this SUV for someone who wants power with refinement.

  • XL is all around Xcellent - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    The Envoy XL offers lots of room and comfort.

  • Lovin it! - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    After looking at Ford and Jeep SUVs and not liking either I heard about the Envoy. One drive and I was hooked, I had to have it. So I traded in my 2001 F150 and have never looked back. Neither has my Golden Retreiver Tigg. She and I both like the ride and roominess of the Envoy. The performance of this thing with the straight six kicks butt on the Grand Cherokee V8. The performance and styling beats the Explorer hands down. I am most happy with this vehicle. I have always been a Ford man, but the lack of a stylish SUVs drove me to GMC and I couldnt be happier.
