About Chevrolet Express 3500 Passenger
The 2017 Chevrolet Express cargo van is a tried-and-true workhorse whose aging platform is quickly leaving it playing catch-up to newer designs from Ford, Ram, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan. But, like most in senior management, the Express Van still has a few tricks to keep young up-and-comers at bay. Unlike the Nissan NV, Chevy’s Express cargo van offers a choice of standard and long-wheelbase models, and its available 6.0-liter V8 engine outmuscles the V6 engines found in the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster. However, the Express Van doesn’t offer an extended-roof option or all-wheel drive, and its overall interior volume pales in comparison. Still, as a known commodity to upfitters everywhere, Chevy’s Express Van still has its merits.

For 2017, Chevrolet’s Express cargo and passenger vans drop the 6.6-liter diesel and CNG engine options, but gains a new 2.8-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel option. Other new options include a spray-in cargo liner (cargo van) and one new exterior paint color.

The changes to the Chevrolet Express for 2015 for both the Cargo and Passenger versions are minimal. There are some sound-system upgrades with digital AM/FM radios with auxiliary ports, a 110-volt power outlet and side-cut keys are standard, there is some LED lighting and you can pretty it up with a couple of new exterior colors.
The 2014 Chevy Express Van cargo van can now be equipped with 5-passenger seating featuring a bulkhead partition between the 2nd-row seat and the cargo area. Side curtain airbags protect rear-seat passengers while extended-wheelbase models include rear air conditioning. Passenger vans add power windows and locks as standard equipment.
The 2013 Chevy Express Van now offers an available navigation system, rearview camera and rear park assist.
Other than a new color, Wheatland Yellow, there are no major changes to the 2012 Chevrolet Express Van.
Changes for 2010 include E85 capability and variable valve timing on the 4.8-liter, 5.3-liter and 6.0-liter engines. Express Van 2500 and 3500 models receive the Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed transmission and revised rear-axle ratios for improved fuel economy and acceleration. A remote engine starter is now available as well.
Changes for 2009 are minor and include some new 17-inch wheel and tire options, an engine oil cooler added to the 4.3-liter V6, and a transmission oil cooler as standard on applications exceeding a 14,000 pound GCWR.
Head-curtain side airbags are made standard on passenger versions, while all models receive a new dash and interior.
The 5.3-liter V8 becomes the standard engine in the 1500 Passenger Van, while later in the model year an E85 version will be offered as an option.
