2026 Chevrolet Express Chassis 3500

This is Chevrolet's bare-bones work chassis, the platform behind box trucks, tow trucks, and cutaway vans. It's built to haul heavy loads all day, with a firm ride and steering that feels truck-like rather than car-like. The cabin is utilitarian with hard plastics and basic controls, but you get a solid work truck that's easy to upfit. The Express has a long-standing reputation for durability in commercial use, though it's a dated design compared to newer rivals. The 3500 is the lighter-duty version of the Express chassis, rated for lower payloads than the 4500 but still ready for a box truck or flatbed. It uses a 6.6L I8 paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving you enough grunt for daily hauling without the harshness of a heavier chassis.
