2026 Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van

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 2500 Cargo Van is the entry point for the Express lineup, trading the LS's convenience features for a lower starting price and a pure focus on hauling. Its 4.3L V6 makes 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque, paired with a eight-speed automatic that includes Tow/Haul mode for managing heavy loads. The standard cargo area offers 239.4 cubic feet of cargo space, with a full-length rubber floor and six tie-downs ready for commercial use right out of the box.
