What got me into loving American Cars

2004 Chevrolet Express 2500 Rwd 3dr Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

I am (was) a die-hard Honda fan - I believed Honda has the most reliable and fuel efficient vehicles in US. In my 20 years of driving life, have purchased 9 new Honda & Acura cars, from Accord to Civic to CRV to Pilot to Odyssey. But since owning a Chevy Express 2500 (Explorer conversion w/ high top roof) I am not sure if Honda really is the best. I'd have to admit, when it comes to a big car, GM still is the best. (little 30mpg civic isn't for everyone you know - some of us have no other option) Express gets 16-17 MPG @ 75MPH, even when it's overloaded with 7 adults and tons of luggage. Odyssey gets 20MPG if I did the same, and there will barely be any room left to breathe.

Big, but great gas mileage

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

Actually have 3500 ext. conversion w/stand up roof modification. Great gas mileage even towing (when using NON reformulated gasoline) 14/14.6 towing 16/16.8 non towing. The dash is ugly but the conversion shop added some trim. They should have kept the same dash as the 1998/1999. A/C volume is good but the air could be colder. Conversion A/C might be affecting it on my van though.

The best travel vehicle

We're driving our second customized Chevy 1500 van. We've loved them both. This one is a 2004 and it's still running so we haven't let it go yet. It's been the most comfortable thing you can imagine and has given us plenty of room for several college move-ins. The only negative thing I can think to say is that both vans have had to have the transmissions replaced. Otherwise -I'd highly recommend it. Love this van like a family member!

Conversion Van

Good solid vehicle for a family. Good value when compared to a Suburban. Even with 4.3L V6, it has good perfomance. Available V8 would probably be better. Locking rear axle makes winter driving very doable. Optional 4 wheel disk brakes are welcome addition to stop this 5300lb truck.

Hope to get good use for business and pleasure, but will have to add a few of my own touches.
