2017 Chevrolet Express LT

The 2017 Express is Chevrolet's full-size work van, the one you see hauling cargo or people for fleets and small businesses. It drives like the heavy-duty truck it is, with a commanding view and a ride that's firm but predictable. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and functional, with durable materials and plenty of room for tools or passengers. Owners say it's generally reliable and easy to maintain, though a few have hit electrical gremlins and a noisy ride. The LT is the mid-range Express, adding more convenience features than the base LS without the extended body of the Passenger LT Ext. Its 6.0L I8 makes 285 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to the rear wheels, which is adequate for hauling but returns 13 mpg combined. The LT can be ordered with the available heavy-duty trailering package, which adds a hitch platform and upgraded cooling for towing near its 10,000-pound max.
