2000 GMC Envoy Review
An enviable mix of luxury and truck.
2000 Envoy Review Summary & Specifications
Though it's a truck, the Envoy seems like a hybrid from a use standpoint. Its interior is as cushy as that of any luxury car, and no doubt the Envoy will be used that way most of the time. But when the time comes, it is also fully capable of handling heavy loads, whether stuffed to the rafters with gear or towing a snowmobile trailer into the country. In short, the Envoy is a versatile, well-equipped and luxurious truck.
