2026 Chevrolet Express 3500

The 2026 Chevrolet Express is a full-size work van and cutaway truck that has served fleets and trades for decades, now offered in 2500 and 3500 series with cargo and passenger configurations. It competes with the Ford E-Series, Ram ProMaster, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, though it stands apart with its traditional body-on-frame layout and V6 power. The Express drives like the heavy-duty workhorse it is; the steering is direct and the V6 provides adequate thrust, though the ride is firm and unrefined over rough pavement. Inside, the cabin is utilitarian with hard plastics and basic controls, but the cargo area is vast and the van's boxy shape makes loading and unloading straightforward. The Express has a reputation for durability and easy maintenance, with many examples logging high mileage in commercial service without major issues. The 3500 is the heavier-duty Express, with a higher payload capacity than the 2500 for serious commercial work. A 4.3L V6 with an automatic transmission powers the rear wheels, giving you adequate torque for hauling without the complexity of a diesel.
