Used 2023 Chevy Express Cargo Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Chevrolet Express is available in Cargo Van and Passenger Van configurations and in standard- and extended-wheelbase styles. If you plan to carry more people and weight, you may want to upgrade from the 2500 series to the 3500 model.

Two engines are available for the 2023 Express, each powering the van's rear wheels:

  • A standard 4.3-liter V6 (276 hp, 298 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic
  • An available 6.6-liter V8 (401 hp, 464 lb-ft) matched to a six-speed automatic

The Cargo Van comes only in the WT trim, while the Passenger Van offers a choice between LS and LT trim levels. Standard feature highlights include:

Which Express Cargo trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Express Cargo Van is only available in WT trim, but for the Passenger Van, we suggest checking out the top LT trim. It adds some rather basic features that make it feel less like a U-Haul rental, such as carpeting, cloth upholstery, and forward collision and lane departure warning systems.
