Overview & Reviews

The Chevy Express line of full-size vans now includes a variety of configurations, including the G1500 (1/2-ton), G2500 (3/4-ton) and G3500 (1-ton) series. Two wheelbases (135 inches and 155 inches) are available on 2500 and 3500 models. For '99, all Express vans get automatic transmission enhancements to increase durability and improve sealing, plus depowered dual front airbags. There are also two new exterior paint colors and one new interior shade for the 1999 model year.

• Modern design, powerful range of engines, lots of cargo hauling capacity.

• Odd arched-eyebrow look taillamps spoil otherwise clean design, not as refined as Ford Econoline.

  High mileage problems ! - 1999 Chevrolet Express
  By Fisherman Joe - April 24 - 1:04 pm

  I purchased my 1500 Express 5 years ago, & when I picked it up I started a long drive home, & at 2:30 am on the freeway it quit. 3 days later I was away again after replacing a fuel pump at about 149,000 mi. The rest of my trip was uneventful. Other than the usual wear & tear (brakes, a 2nd in- tank fuel pump,muffler, door lock).I still have the van with 240,000 mi. For the past year or so, it has been running really rough. I changed fuel filter, spark plugs, distributor, rotor, & other parts to no avail. Finally took it to a dealer. $1950 later it has a new computer, injector, vacuum leak repaired, c/w all tuning & reprogramming. For the last 100 miles or so it runs like new !!

  Good for everything - 1999 Chevrolet Express
  By Great for everything - January 24 - 3:36 am

  I have used this van for heavy hauling, passengers, and road trips. Is better than an SUV in almost every way. More space, more seating, more comfort, and just great for everything!

  Big Family Hauler - 1999 Chevrolet Express
  By dennis - July 25 - 9:23 pm

  We bought this rascal in lieu of a Suburban and in favor of Fords one tonner. It has served us well, although the interior finish is better suited for a cheap doll house. Roadability is excellent. I am over 63" and not skinny and I can drive for hours in this vehicle without the usual leg cramps, etc. If you are tall and heavy, you understand. As I said, the interior lacks in quality, the carpet wore through 2 years ago, the reclining passenger seat now is a rocking chair, the door panels are impossible to keep attached with use. The engine is flawless as long as it is serviced regularly, it will let you know if you forget. The transmission is still under scrutiny.
