2018 Chevrolet Express 3500

The 2018 Express is Chevrolet's full-size van, the workhorse choice for hauling cargo or people in volume. It drives like the heavy-duty truck it is, with a commanding view and a ride that's more about capability than comfort. You get a huge, boxy interior that swallows gear or passengers, and it's built to be serviced easily. Some owners have hit electrical gremlins and a noisy cabin, so it's worth a careful check before you buy. The 3500 steps up from the 2500 with a heavier-duty chassis and higher payload capacity, making it the choice for serious towing and hauling. Its 6.0L I8 is a torquey workhorse that pulls strongly from low revs, though you'll pay for that capability at the pump. Expect a firm, truck-like ride when unladen, which is the trade-off for the 3500's substantial payload and towing numbers.
