Express customers rely on their vehicles to haul and tow items. That task becomes even easier with the introduction of a 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine.
The diesel delivers 250 horsepower and a class-leading 460 lb.-ft. of torque. It is teamed with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission, which is specially tuned for diesel-engine compatibility, giving Express exceptional towing and grade capability. It’s available on G2500 and G3500 Express Cargo Van models.
In addition to the diesel, Express offers its customers a choice of four GM engines. The 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 with multi-port fuel injection is the base engine for light-duty G-vans in all 50 states. The 4.8-liter V8 cranks out 285 horsepower and is used for heavy-duty applications in the 2500 Series cargo vans. The 5.3-liter V8 churns out 295 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque, and is the standard engine in all-wheel drive models.
Those seeking more power can opt for the 6.0-liter V8 that delivers 345 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.
Express is available with two wheelbase lengths: regular length (135 inches) and extended length (155 inches).
