2007 Chevrolet Express LS 3500 3dr Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

We bought the Chevy van because we wanted a vehicle that could sit 11-12 people, the Dodge Sprinter cost twice as much and doesn't have the towing power. We rented several vans for diferent long distance trips and compared. We have two other vehicles that are Ford and are very happy with them but the Ford Van fell short against the Chevy for handling and safety. The Chevy has way way …

2009 Chevrolet Express LS 1500 3dr Van AWD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

I've been driving several different vans of this model ranging from '06 to '09. The engine has very good power, and the AWD system really helps it grip the road. However, the gas mileage could be better, the best I've ever gotten out of it is 17mpg (on 87 octane gas).

I can't get this thing to die!

2007 Chevrolet Express LS 3500 3dr Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

I bought this van slightly used for my family of 9. That means that we are tough on a vehicle. Between Hockey practice, Basketball games, park runs and anything else that comes up, we pretty much live in this thing. We now have 413k miles on her. The engine and powertrain have been flawless. The only things that I have had to replace other than tires, oil and windshield wipers are …

Love it, but try to find a parking spot.

2006 Chevrolet Express LS 3500 3dr Ext Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

I love my 2006 Chevy Express! My only complaint is that I can hardly ever find a parking spot for it. It's very long, and seems much wider than my other cars have ever been. (Suburbans)
