The Chevy Express cargo van has long been the gold standard for work crews everywhere. You can’t beat the reliability and functionality of the Express to transport either crews or gear, and your Chevy dealer can help you keep it running in top , sodition so you can focus on keeping up with your business.

The Express is available in both cargo and passenger configurations. The cargo van has a maximum payload of 4,280 lbs, while the passenger van is rated to carry up to fifteen passengers.

Powertrain

The gas engine comes in two capable configurations. The 4.3-liter V6 gives you 276 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 298 lb-ft of torque at 3,900 rpm. Paired with an 8-speed electronically controlled transmission, there is plenty of power to move what you need for work.

The 6.6-liter V8 configuration produces 401 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 464 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. A 6-speed automatic heavy-duty electronically controlled transmission helps shift the more substantial engine through the gears for truly heavy loads. If you frequently need to carry substantial loads or heavy equipment, the larger engine is probably the smarter option for you.

Handling

There are two wheelbase options available, depending on your needs. The standard wheelbase has a turning circle of 49.2 feet, while the extended wheelbase requires 54.4 feet. The extended wheelbase gives you an extra 20 inches of cargo room if you need extra space for carrying oversized equipment.

Coil spring front suspension help support your load. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes make sure you can stop safely. Power steering and rear-wheel drive ensure you can maneuver the large van through traffic.

Capability

The standard cargo van can carry a payload of up to 4,392 lbs in the available 239.4 square feet of cargo space. The extended cab configuration can handle a payload of up to 4,173 lbs in 283.6 square feet of cargo space.

Both forms of the 2023 Chevrolet Express Cargo have a tow rating of up to 10,000 lbs with the 6.6-liter V8 engine. With the smaller engine, the towing capacity is reduced to 6,300 lbs for the extended wheelbase and 6,700 lbs for the regular wheelbase.
