It produces 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, and it's teamed with a six-speed automatic gearbox. For those seeking a bit more muscle under the hood there's a 6.6-liter V-8. There's a 4.3-liter V-6 good for 276 horsepower and 298 pound-feet of torque and is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Within the cabin, there's an AM/FM stereo with MP3 compatibility and two front-door speakers as well as a backup camera. The Express 2500 rides on 16-inch steel wheels, and it comes standard with a 4.3-liter V-6 a beefier 6.6-liter V8 is optional. The standard wheelbase is 135 inches the extended wheelbase stretches to 155 inches. The base-model 2500 Cargo Van is a good place to start. There are nicer, more modern vans and SUVs on the market for carrying passengers, so we recommend the Express to buyers looking for a strong-like-bull work vehicle for hauling tools, equipment, or cargo. Ancient it may be, but it’s still capable of meeting the demands of shoppers who might be comparing the Express to its modern rivals, namely the Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Ram ProMaster. The cargo and passenger body configurations first hit the market in the 1996 model year. That’s right this truck has been around for a long, long time. While the Express was available with all-wheel drive back when a 1500 model was offered, the current 25 models are rear-wheel drive only-a change that seems like a downgrade given that we praised the AWD system way back when we tested it in 2003.

It’s propelled by conventional, robust gasoline engines, including a 4.3-liter V-6 and a 6.6-liter V8, which are backed by an eight-speed automatic and a heavy-duty six-speed automatic, respectively. Like its corporate twin-the GMC Savana-the veteran Chevy Express is a full-size van built for labor, well-adapted to everything from hauling equipment to transporting up to 15 passengers at once.
