Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Strong powertrains, dual-passenger access doors, multiple wheelbase and passenger configurations, optional all-wheel drive.

Cons

Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.

What’s new

Changes are minimal for 2004. An assist handle is now installed in the front passenger area. The driver-side visor will no longer include an illuminated mirror.

Edmunds says

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.

Very comfortable and actually easy to park.

2004 Chevrolet Express 1500 Rwd 3dr Van (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

We needed the ability to tow a trailer and carry 7. All the SUVs we looked at had a back seat that you must get into like a 2 door car. All the small vans cannot tow a trailer. We found that conversion vans are the best fit. What a pleasure to drive and tow (its like the trailer is not there). This has lots of power - even on the hills a smoth ride and handles like a smaller …

2004 Chevrolet Express 3500 Rwd 3dr Ext Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

I've had this van since 2006. It's been so good. I personally think it's more comfortable and prettier than the Fords. Very easy maintenance.

Disappointed, 04/04/2009

2004 Chevrolet Express 1500 Rwd 3dr Van (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

I have had to replace the fuel pump ($600), the water pump, and one of the side windows fell out, yes fell out ($1000). The mechanic told me (kingman az dealership) there is a design flaw in the fuel pump which …
