Used 2020 Chevy Express Van Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Chevrolet Express comes in a lot of variations. In terms of capability, there is the standard 2500 and heavy-duty 3500. A longer 3500 extended-wheelbase version offers more space for seats or cargo.

The Express' engine lineup includes:

  • A standard 4.3-liter V6 (276 hp, 298 lb-ft) paired to an eight-speed automatic
  • An available 6.0-liter V8 (341 hp, 373 lb-ft) matched to a six-speed automatic
  • An available 2.8-liter Duramax diesel four-cylinder engine (181 hp, 369 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic

Chevy offers the Express in two trim levels. Standard feature highlights include:

LS

  • 16-inch steel wheels
  • Front and rear air conditioning
  • Power windows and locks
  • Swing-out door with a 60/40 split on the passenger side
  • Technology such as a rearview camera and GM's OnStar communications
  • Two-speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack

Optional features for the LS include:

  • Choosing the 3500 or 3500 Extended adds a tilting steering wheel and cruise control

LT
This trim adds:

  • Front and rear chrome bumpers
  • Remote door locks
  • Full-floor carpeting
  • Assistance features such as cruise control, forward collision alert and lane departure warning
  • Tilting wheel

Optional features include:

  • 6.5-inch touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth capability, a CD player and a USB port

Which Express trim does Edmunds recommend?

Consider spending extra on the 3500 trim for its increased capability. Springing for the 3500 increases maximum payload capacity and allows you to choose the extended-wheelbase version that adds more cargo space or a fifth row of seats for passengers.
