Construction
The Express van rides on a frame that provides a strong backbone to accomplish these jobs. On top of it is a body that is strong, sturdy and welded tight to the frame to eliminate flex and vibration.
Express vans offer capabilities that are right for the job. The 3500 Extended Wheelbase Cargo van has 313.9 cubic feet of space available for goods or workspace. That is more than enough room to upfit as needed according to the job.
Express vans offer GVWR ratings up to 9,600 pounds with a maximum payload of 4,145 pounds and towing capabilities up to 10,000 pounds. While it is customizable for upfit options inside, the Express can also be ordered with a roof rack system to carry items that could not fit inside – such as extendable ladders.
Performance
Power is provided by choice of engines that offer substantial torque for optimal hauling and efficiency. The standard 4.8-liter Vortec V8 has 295 pound-feet of torque to do the hard work necessary.
There is an option of fueling this V8 with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Then, there is the Vortec 6.0-liter V8 that is available on the van. With 342 horsepower, it handles the brunt of the work efficiently.
Also, Express customers can select the 2.8-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel engine. It can do a lot for your business with 369 pound-feet of torque ready to the job. With the Duramax engine, an Express van can tow up to 7,000 pounds. This engine comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission for even greater efficiency.
Technology
Drivers will find the Express designed for comfort and optimal uptime. There is more than enough information available at the driver’s glance to keep the Express van going on the road from job to job.
Rear Park Assist is available to keep the driver safe when backing up the Express. Every Express comes with the peace of mind of OnStar Basic service for five years without charge. Available 24 hours a day, OnStar is there to assist in case of an accident or theft of the Silverado, along with providing directions to the next destination. This package also includes RemoteLink through a smartphone to monitor the vehicle away from it.
There is Wi-Fi connectivity available via Autonet to ensure a link between the home office and the van.
