Used 2015 Chevrolet Express Cargo Consumer Reviews
2005 Chevy Express 3500 Ext 6.0L
I replaced a 1993 Ford E250 with this van. The low employee pricing swayed me away from Ford. It was a better value at the time, however, I was soon disapponted by the large turning circle due to the extended wheelbase frame compared to Ford's EXT model. Chevy's wheelbase and 1 foot extra length makes it hard to parallel park.
Natural Gas Version has very short range
I recently received the all-Natural Gas Express van. It starts and runs well on Natural Gas. What bothers me is the incredibly short range. I ran it until 5 miles after the "low fuel light" came on, and got 140 miles on a tank. A tank holds less than the equivalent of 12 gallons of gas, and it gets 12 mpg. Since our van runs 120 miles a day, that means we drain it every day. With only a couple places it can filled, it was a pain. We added a machine to fill if off the gas line at 1 gallon an hour, so now every morning we start with a full tank, and it's working out fine

Chevy makes a good work van
Having owned Dodge vans in the past for my contracting business, I was foiled by the 47 inch doorway clearance which did not allow a full sheet of plywood unless angled. Chevy provides access and ease of use. My van has exterior doors on the upper panels that allow access to even the most difficult corners of the custom built shelves. The dealer inadequately tried to explain it's new traction system. I don't know what it does, but have never been stuck in the snow with it. It looks a little strange with angled cut corners and a chicken wire grill. The walls are a bit thin and I know will not stand up to a load shift. Overall, a good truck.
Great car - chevy 2500 -60000 miles
I bought this car in April 2004 to do delivery. Now it's almost october and I have 58000 miles on it.It runs great and I'm realy satisfied with it.I started to put synthetic oil and it seems that my gas mileage went up from 13-15 to 15-17 which is great even though I changed the oil about every 11000 miles as the oil light said.I'm trying to get even better mileage by buying tornadofuelsaver, but the consumer report says that it doesn't work.I didn't have any problems with it but I was thinking to exchange it with a Sprinter(diesel) to save more money.The reviews are not as good as the Express has so I'm still thinking about it.
Awesome work utility vehicle
This truck has great gas mileage, and handles very easily for such a large vehicle. We've only had Chevy Expresses in our fleet for the past 13 years, and they last a long time with minimal maintenance costs.
