2015 Chevrolet Express 2500

The Express is Chevrolet's full-size van, the one you see as work trucks and shuttles, and it's built for hauling people or cargo. It's a big van, but it handles surprisingly well for its size, and it has plenty of power to merge onto highways or pull a loaded trailer. Inside, the cabin is plain and functional, with a huge cargo area that can swallow more than a box truck. Some owners have dealt with electrical gremlins and a noisy ride, so expect a few quirks if you're buying used. The 2500 is the entry-level Express, so you skip the passenger seating and extra trim of the LS or LT but save thousands on the base price. Its 4.8L I8 makes 285 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which gives it enough grunt to haul a heavy load without struggling.
