I was curious as I have a 2000 I use to haul the family, pull a trailer
full of wood, etc,. Never had a problem with it and it has
significantly more power than anything else like it.
Its really handy when you need to take 6-7 people someplace.

Went to the chev website and sure enough it says 2005 is the last
year for Astro.  That makes about a 20 years they were built.
I think they would have sold more but people with two kids were
drawn to the many SUV style vehicles.
