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.

    I just bought my 04 GMC Envoy & its great. I work for a rental car company and its far more comfortable and handles better than any other Midsize SUV I have driven.

    THIS IS A GOOD VEHICLE IN MOST RESPECTS,IN CITY DRIVING I FIND NO PROBLEMS,THE ENVOY COULD USE A LITTLE MORE VIEW FOR BACKING UP.ENGINE LIQUIDS ARE EASY TO CHECK,THE BIGEST PROBLEN I FOUND IS CROSS COUNTRY DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS THE FUEL TANK COULD BE LAGER,AND THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SWAY OR FEELS SPUNGY WHEN PASSING OR GOING AROUND CURVES WICH GETS TIRING AFTER 8 HOURS OF DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF TIRE PRESSURE.

  • My SUV - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I love this SUV. Although it is my first I am very happy with this one. I have the SLE with the B package and a power sunroof. It rides as smoothe as my 2002 Camry that I traded for it. I tried the Chev Trailblazer that my husband wanted and it was the bumpiest ride ever and cheapiest looking interior. Also it was the second Trailblazer that had a puddle of water in floorboard of driver side. One was a 2003 on a lot with only 6000 miles on it and on a different lot, different city a 2004 (NEW)with same problem, ..so beware of Trailblazers!! Overall stick with the Envoy for comfort and pleasureable driving.

  • What a Ride ! - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    Have only had this Envoy for 3 weeks but I am more than impressed with the ride and comfort. My last three cars were Mercury Grand Marquis and I must say the ride of this one is far superior. Im one of those guys who said Id never own an SUV, but after spending an hour with a demo I was smitten. Have two minor problems, one is I cant get any water to come from the rear window washer, and the other one of the turn signal illumination lights will not light. Im sure nothing major, just waiting for a few more miles to get that adjusted. Only other problem is a little wind noise around the drivers door.

  • Envoy: Spanish for garbage? - 2004 GMC Envoy

    Heres a partial list of problems Ive had: Air conditioning went out. Stereo goes out intermittantly. The air shocks wont level, so the compressor runs constantly and when the car sits for more than an hour it lists like a sinking boat. (its been in the shop 4 times for this and still isnt fixed) Rear hatch moulding shrank into the inside of the door. I currently have a water leak in the driver side. (I live in Seattle, so its wet a LOT) The engine hood latch squeeks and must be lubed every couple of weeks. The car lurches occassionally at a stop light. The fit and finish of the vehicle is lousy. Body trim has had to be re- glued etc.

    Im a first time GMC buyer and purchased the 2004 Envoy EX after driving multiple suvs in the same class. It is a quality suv and i am well pleased so far in all aspects. I was afraid it would be to big and bulky for every day driving but have found it to handle great in all types of road conditions. Does well in snow and rain. My grandchildren love the dvd and with their car seats placed in the 3rd seat i can see them well through the rear view mirror. This is a plus for me.

    Excelent vehicle delivers all that is promised

  • Disappointment - 2004 GMC Envoy
    By -

    I really fell in love with this truck when I bought it. Its loaded. $40k sticker. But Ive had nothing put problems. 4-wheel drive sensor broke second day out, front-right sway bar ends broke at 5,000 miles, defective weather-stripping, driver-side window ratttles when cold, rear suspension compressor cycles on and off when car is off...can run down battery (dealer cant diagnose this!). Check Engine light came on and resulted in replacing gas cap. Owned for 11 months and been in dealership 6 times. Worst build quality of any car Ive ever owned. GM service worst of any company. Will never buy GM again.

    Great SUV. American made, rugged, peppy, and stylish. Great pick up on the highway. I would like to see different steering wheel controls
