The 2011 Chevrolet Express is a full-size van available in half-ton (1500), three-quarter-ton (2500) and one-ton (3500) models. It's offered in basic LS and LT trims, as a passenger van with seating configurations accommodating up to 15 passengers, or as a cargo van. Engine options range from a 195-hp 4.3L V6, a flex-fuel 5.3L V8 with 310 hp and either a 280-hp 4.8L V8, a 323-hp 6.0L V8 or a 6.6L turbodiesel V8 with 260 hp on 3500 series models, with an automatic transmission standard across all models. Standard feature highlights include OnStar, antilock brakes and stability control, while optional amenities include Bluetooth and satellite radio. Notable for its powerful engine options and significant cargo capabilities, the 2011 Express does not sport modern touches found in many of its competitors such as high-tech safety features and an infotainment system.
