2014 Chevrolet Express 3500

The Express is Chevrolet's full-size work van, the one you see hauling cargo and crews on job sites everywhere. It's a big van, but it moves with surprising authority and handles well for its size, making highway merging easy. The cabin is all business, with a simple layout and plenty of room for three across the front bench. With its boxy body and huge cargo area, the Express often replaces a box truck for owners who need serious hauling space. The 3500 is the heavy-duty Express, built to carry more weight than the 1500 or 2500 vans with a stouter chassis and higher payload rating. Its 6.0L I8 pairs with a automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving you the muscle to haul a full load without strain, though 12 mpg combined is what you'll see at the pump. The 3500's extra leaf springs and heavier-duty brakes mean it can handle a slide-in camper or a flatbed conversion without breaking a sweat.
