Chevy has created a passenger/cargo van that is both rugged and durable with the
2009 Chevrolet Express. It hauls up to 12 passengers - or a whole lot of cargo.
That's what it made for - transporting people and stuff - plain and simple. You
have your choice between 3 differing engines: the 4.8L 279hp V8; the Vortec 6.0L
319 V8 and the 6.6L Duramax Diesel. Regardless of engine choice, your new
Express will come with a 4-speed auto transmission.
There are four trims available: 2 for passengers and 2 for cargo hauling. They
are listed as the LS, the LT, the Work Van and the Upfitter. They are all rear
wheel-driven. Length and width measurements on all trims are 224.1 x 79.4
inches. The body height on the LS and LT (passenger trims) is 83 inches while
the height on the Work Van and the Upfitter (cargo trims) is 81.5 inches. The
ground clearance also differs. For the passenger vans, it measures 7.1 inches
and the cargo trims measure 7.6 inches.
There's plenty of room inside of the LT and the LS, regardless of which seating
row you find yourself. Front and rear head room measurements are 40 and 39
inches respectively - no squatting or hunching ever necessary. 217.3 cubic feet
of cargo space makes the Chevy Express one of the largest hauling vehicles of
its kind anywhere on the planet. The standard version of the cargo trims has a
135-inch wheelbase while the extended models measure 155 inches. Of course, both
cargo trims offer great versatility to accommodate your particular needs and
desires for modification and fitting with specific workspace requirements.
MSRPs fall between $25,235 and $31,465 and all trims come with a standard
36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty. The 2009 Express is a carryover from the
previous year. Gross vehicular weight for all trims is 8600 pounds while curb
weights are listed at 5892 pounds for passenger trims and 5338 pounds for the
cargos. The difference is of course the seating.
24.3 feet turning radii are what all trims deliver. The 31-gallon fuel tank is
necessarily large because these Chevy Express vans are certainly not known for
their stellar fuel economy. As a matter of fact, it isn't even listed anywhere.
You can assume roughly 10 mpg. Standards safety features on all trims include
driver and front passenger airbags as well as side curtain bags for all rows of
seating on passenger trims. ABS braking, electronic traction control, daytime
running lights, remote keyless entry, PASS KEY III ignition disabling, THEFTLOCK
theft deterrent radio and tire pressure monitors are all standard on all trims
as well.
Additionally, there are many other optional features for safety and convenience
as well. When you have regular needs for hauling passengers and/or cargo, the
2009 Chevrolet Express offers impressive value with a high degree of
performance, dependability and style. Safe and secure, Chevy strives to make
these passenger/cargo haulers as comfortable and luxurious as is feasible.
