Used Chevrolet Express 3500 for Sale

When you need a practical vehicle for transporting larger groups of people from point A to point B, the Chevrolet Express 3500 can deliver. This full-size passenger van, which has been in the same generation of production since its debut in 1996, can seat anywhere from eight to 15 passengers with room to spare for cargo.

When the 1996 Express was introduced, one of its newest features was the inclusion of dual front airbags. By 2010, however, the Express had come quite a long way. For starters, it was offered in three distinct models: the 1500, 2500, and 3500. The Chevrolet Express 3500 is considered the "heavy duty" version of this van and is offered in both regular- and extended-wheelbase versions. Opt for a used regular-wheelbase model and you'll enjoy seating for up to 12 passengers. Step up to the extended-wheelbase Express 3500 and you can comfortably seat up to 15 people in this large passenger van, thanks to the additional 20 inches of length.

Engine offerings on the Chevrolet Express 3500 have also evolved over the years. In 2010, a 6.0L V8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission was the sole engine offering. By 2015, a 4.8L V8 at 285 became standard, though a 6.0L V8 and turbocharged 6.6L diesel V8 were optional when sold new. This model year also saw the introduction of standard features like front air conditioning, rear privacy glass, and power windows.

By the 2019 model year, the base Express 3500 LS received a 4.3L V6 engine at 276 hp that's paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, a 6.0L V8 and a 2.8L four-cylinder diesel engine were also available when this model was sold new. Additional standard features like power windows and locks, a rearview camera, and a driver information display were also seen by the 2019 model year.

Whether you opt for an earlier model Express 3500 or something more recent, this full-size passenger van provides the space you need to transport larger groups with confidence.
