2013 Chevrolet Express Ext Ls

The 2013 Express is Chevrolet's full-size van, the one you see on job sites and shuttle duty, built to haul people or cargo all day. It's a big van, but the steering is direct and the brakes feel strong, so it's easier to place in traffic than you'd expect. Inside, the cabin is plain and functional, with a high seating position and lots of room up front, though the seats are firm on long hauls. Owners report the Express is dependable and simple to work on, but some have dealt with electrical gremlins and a noisy ride. Longer body and extra seating capacity set the Ext Ls apart from the standard-wheelbase Express 2500, making it the one for passenger hauling. Under the hood is a 4.8L I8 making 280 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which is enough grunt for loaded highway runs but returns 13 mpg combined.
