Overview & Reviews

Changes are minimal for 2004. An assist handle is now installed in the front passenger area. The driver-side visor will no longer include an illuminated mirror.

• Strong powertrains, dual-passenger access doors, multiple wheelbase and passenger configurations, optional all-wheel drive.

• Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.

  What got me into loving American Cars - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By JW - May 29 - 12:27 pm

  I am (was) a die-hard Honda fan - I believed Honda has the most reliable and fuel efficient vehicles in US. In my 20 years of driving life, have purchased 9 new Honda & Acura cars, from Accord to Civic to CRV to Pilot to Odyssey. But since owning a Chevy Express 2500 (Explorer conversion w/ high top roof) I am not sure if Honda really is the best. Id have to admit, when it comes to a big car, GM still is the best. (little 30mpg civic isnt for everyone you know - some of us have no other option) Express gets 16-17 MPG @ 75MPH, even when its overloaded with 7 adults and tons of luggage. Odyssey gets 20MPG if I did the same, and there will barely be any room left to breathe.

  Better then SUV for a trailer and kids - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By Chris - September 6 - 1:18 am

  We needed the ability to tow a trailer and carry 7. All the SUVs we looked at had a back seat that you must get into like a 2 door car. All the small vans cannot tow a trailer. We found that conversion vans are the best fit. What a pleasure to drive and tow (its like the trailer is not there). This has lots of power - even on the hills a smoth ride and handles like a smaller vehicle. We test drove the Ford and found it nice - but you never forgot you had a truck under you, also we could not get the 4th door. Gas mileage is not as bad as I feared - 13mpg with trailer, 19 on the open road,14/15 every day.

  Conversion Van - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By jhillen - April 1 - 5:46 pm

  Good solid vehicle for a family. Good value when compared to a Suburban. Even with 4.3L V6, it has good perfomance. Available V8 would probably be better. Locking rear axle makes winter driving very doable. Optional 4 wheel disk brakes are welcome addition to stop this 5300lb truck.

  Great van, handles great. - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By Tim - March 26 - 1:03 am

  This van rides and handles great. Bought a new 2004 Express Low top Chariot conversion. Very comfortable on trips or around town. Average highway mpg is over 20. Not bad for a big van. Only suggestion is they replace cheap plastic arm rest on door with a padded material.

  2nd Express Conversion - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By mike1955 - April 28 - 2:00 am

  We just got our second Chevy Express Conversion Van with an Explore conversion package. What a dream boat. With the special Platinum Paint and six spoke alloy 18" wheels this van turns heads. Rides like my Caddy and performance is outstanding, both in fuel economy and power to tow. In the large van catagory, its the best game in town!

  A thumbs up for this one! - 2004 Chevrolet Express
  By Abe Mills - November 28 - 2:00 am

  This van handles like a van should! I was told to watch out because it would be hard to drive, and would feel like a tractor trailer going down the road, but boy am I happy I went with my instinct on this one. I give this van a 10 on everything. It is a real pleasure to drive, with great visibility, handling, and a great turning radius for such a long van. My only problem with it is I wish I had measured my garage before I bought it, because it just doesnt fit. I am happily sacrificing the garage for this fine piece of equipment though.
