Powerful workhorse
The Chevrolet Express 2500 has been a go-to workhorse across the country for decades. For the 2023 model year, you can choose from a 4.3L V6 making 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque or an optional 6.6L V8 making an impressive 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft. If you are looking to haul cargo, search our listings for the WT trim, or if you need to haul up to 15 people, check out the LS passenger trim. Meanwhile, the top-spec LT trim adds some additional creature comforts for your passengers like upgraded carpet and upholstery as well as driver aids like forward collision warning and lane departure warning.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Chevrolet Express 2500
1. Multiple powertrain options
The engine equipped as standard in the 2023 Express 2500 is quite robust, featuring a 4.3L V6 producing 276 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Regardless of your needs, there is a great engine option to choose from on the 2023 Express 2500.
2. Great for hauling
Your next van should be able to handle whatever load you throw at it. Whether you are loading up a big delivery, or taking a big group down to the river to go tubing, the 2023 Express 2500 has got you covered. The cargo version offers an estimated payload capacity of up to 3,280 pounds, while the passenger van can accommodate approximately 2,550 pounds. It's easy to see how the Express 2500 can enhance hauling for your business or organization.
3. Seating for up to 15 passengers
Short of a bus, you're not going to find a much better passenger hauler than the Express 2500.

If you are looking to haul more than what you can carry inside your van, look no further than the 2023 Express 2500. The cargo version with the V6 engine will deliver an estimated 7,400 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.
That number jumps to an estimated 10,000 pounds with the V8 engine. The passenger version can haul a bit less but it's still an impressive estimated 6,700 pounds (V6) and 9,600 pounds (V8), all when properly equipped. So, if you need to tow a big load to a job site, or just need to bring the boat along with a load of passengers, the Express 2500 has got you covered.5. Available comfort and convenience features
