GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada 5 passenger midsize SUVs. Although the Rainier was intended to be the luxury model amongst its brethren with a slightly different exterior style and a few more comfort features, it received only minor changes throughout its lifetime and the continual use of sub par materials, sloppy handling and restrictive design prevented the Rainier from becoming much more than a big mistake. On a positive note, the Rainier was continually equipped with the same strong powertrain from 2004 until 2007. Initially offered in a CXL and CXL Plus trim, both models came standard with a 4.2 inline 6 cylinder that delivered 275 horsepower mated to a 4 speed automatic transmission. A more powerful V8 engine was optional, producing 290 horsepower, and both engines accelerated well.
