    Just saw a 2020 model, they’re a miss mash of GM parts of the past 30 years. They still use the same door handles from the C/K era! It was cool to see!

    Possibly the best driving experience I've had was in a 2003 model.
    I've always like vans and those narrow Euro styles are hideous.

      My buddy's 2013 Chevy 2500 Express with the 4.8L just had the transmission go out at 190,000 miles. The transmission rebuild shop charged him $5000. Other than that, it's been a pretty good van.

    I'm trying to find a new 2022 to 2023 Chevy Express cargo Van on finding it to be very difficult. There are only a few of them out there that have the big 6.6 l V8 engine the only engine I will take in the van. Along with the locking rear end. I would really love to get an extended version van cargo but they don't make them at all from what I can find. Unless you get a people carrying van and gut it out. And pay for more..8-15K more

      It allows the driver to turn the 'Stabilitrak' on and off. Stabilitrak is used for using the brakes to lock up a spinning drive wheel and send torque to the non slipping wheel.
