Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Strong powertrains, unique access doors, multiple configurations, optional all-wheel drive.
Cons
- Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.
What’s new
The Express Cargo van gains numerous improvements for the '03 model year. Under the hood, the Express now features GM's lineup of powerful Vortec engines, from the base 200-horsepower V6 all the way up to the hard-charging 300-hp 6.0-liter V8. All-wheel-drive models are also available for the first time, and all Express vans get four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Driver-side 60/40 access doors and swing-up access panels have also been added as an option along with revised front-end styling, larger stabilizer bars and a stronger frame. Inside, the Express gets redesigned seats, improved lighting and ventilation systems and dual-stage airbags on all light-duty versions.
Edmunds says
With the addition of new engines and features, the Express (and its twin, the GMC Savanna) is pretty much the only game in town if you're looking for a full-size van that doesn't look and drive like it was designed two decades ago.

Haul Away!
Matt, 02/23/2008
2003 Chevrolet Express Cargo 2500 Rwd 3dr Van (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
Bought van used in 06 w/ very low mileage. Ample space and hauling capacity. Great, modern look for a work van. 4.8 V8 is reliable as they come, but underpowered for a van this size, especially if you carry a massive amount of equipment as I do. Then again, these vans are made for hauling, not speed. I will buy another Express in the future, but instead go w/ the larger 6.0L engine.

2003 Chevrolet Express Cargo 3500 Rwd 3dr Ext Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Excellent work vehicle, third one in as
many years, only drawback is it's poor
mpg however. Even with careful driving
it only gets around 10 in the city.

2000 Chevrolet Express Cargo G2500 3dr Ext Van
Great vehicle except for one glaring
problem.When it runs, it will move
anything. It eats fuel pumps though.
Vehicle has just had the fuel pump
replaced for the third time. Dealers
can't say what's causing the problem.

2001 Chevrolet Express Cargo 1500 3dr Van (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this vehicle with 52,000 miles on it the carfax was clean and the vehicle overall was a very clean good looking vehicle. I took meticulous care of it oil changes and everything down to tire rotations. well it now has 84,000 miles on it and i'm on the second engine, the AC has gone out, replaced the fuel pump twice in about 13 months, alternator, the tensioner was replaed twice … as well as some other pulley and numerous other things, so many i cant remember in short i have put almost 5k (half of what i originally paid) into this piece of garbage hoping that that will be the last problem but no sooner does somethin else break down.
