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 middle-duty Express, a step up in payload from the 4500's heavier chassis but still simple enough to upfit however you need. The 3500's ladder frame and leaf-spring rear suspension are built for heavy loads, so expect a stiff ride when the bed is empty.
