The GMC Safari was a truck-based rear-drive "minivan" that was a corporate twin to the Chevrolet Astro introduced in 1985. The Safari had a different grille design than the Astro, but they were otherwise identical. The Safari lasted all the way until the end of 2005 with only minimal changes.

An interesting fact about the Safari is that in 1987, Pontiac dropped the Parisienne name on its full-size, rear drive station wagon model and called it, simply, Safari. So, from 1987 until 1990, GM had 2 different vehicle offerings from 2 different makes (Pontiac and GMC) with the same model name.

See the Chevrolet Astro entry for more comments about the GMC Safari.
