Overview & Reviews

A new LT trim level with leather and an on-board entertainment system, and a more powerful V8 are the only major changes. Two new exterior colors and upgraded radios and alternators round out the updates for 2001.

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

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

  Its paid for so dont laugh. - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By firefightingfool - October 23 - 7:31 pm

  I love my van. My wife hates it. (Due to the consumption of fuel, along with the price of fuel.) I upgraded from an Chevy Astro. The room, the entertainment system, the handling, the styling, the aggressive motor, the storage room behind the rear seat, the duel A/C. I can go on forever. The only drawback is the fuel economy, which I really dont mind, because the entire family can travel in comfort. I bought my van with 29,000 miles and I currently have just over 93,000 miles. When it comes to repairs, Ive needed to replace my starter, alternator and battery. With regular maintenance my vehicle has been superb.

  Excellent product - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By LJRacing91 - October 12 - 10:01 pm

  I purchased this van from the original owner in May of 08 at 105k miles. Have put almost 40k miles on it since that time, as I drive hotshot. It has never left me hanging, and aside from the chronic taillight problem, valve guide seals, and an alternator, its been problem free. It hauls 3000lbs of payload easily, and has the ability to haul 3 full size pallets (12 total!). The seats are excellent for long trips, as I go out of town/state regularly. Would definitely recommend this van for work of any kind. An excellent hauler with plenty of power, and a stable ride, even with 3000lbs in the back. It doesnt drift or float. Keep it maintained and it will go forever.

  Better in the long run - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By Yak - July 18 - 3:46 pm

  We have now owned this vehicle for more than 4 years. We are having the same experiences with the seat levers breaking but other than that it is a real workhorse. We are now towing a 4400 lb camper with it and it is doing marvelously. Sure the gas mileage stinks but its solid mechanically. The driver side sun visor has been replaced 4 times and its still falling apart. The kids love the van and for long trips, thats really important. We even use it to transport half of my sons basketball team to games.

  Bought the van to have more cargo space. Mission accomplished. Cavernous room after to take out all seats. Easy to drive und relaxing ride on long trips. High seat position give a good view. LT trim very appealing. Enjoy stepping in every time.

  Fix my seats & its ready for next owner - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By what a soccer van! - May 25 - 7:59 pm

  Four kids each with his own space we couldnt be happier. Great layout inside and all the geegaws kept the kids quiet while we talked. Easy to drive. We made long trips with cargo packed in the rear and everybody well pleased. This car was targeted at us, and we loved it.

  Our Adventure Mobile - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By gep10 - September 11 - 2:00 am

  We use this vehicle to tow our camper around the midwest and carry our family, gear & guests on ski trips & kayaking and biking trips. We also use it to haul large objects and loads ( rototillers, pavers, lumber, etc.). It has been a great traveling vehicle everyone is very comfortable even after long drives (good seat design, amazing legroom for 2nd & 3rd rows, strong ft/rr AC/ heater system) and the Bose/dual TV/VCR system w/AV hookups is great. 255/70 Firestone Indy 500 tires transformed the wet/ dry handling and Ive safely passed 4WD SUVs on snow and ice on our ski trips after installing four winter tires. Very pleased with this vehicle.

  Our "Goin Up North" Vehicle - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By johnandlore - November 12 - 2:00 am

  We bought this van in Oct. 2001 when GM first came out with 0% financing. It has been a real workhorse ever since - towing our jet-skis, hauling building supplies, or just ferrying us to our Up North cottage. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at the roominess. The ride is surprisingly smooth, and the kids love the TV/VCR with the A/V hookups.

  Ship of the highway - 2001 Chevrolet Express
  By timyak - June 17 - 2:00 am

  We had an Astro and it still didnt handle the towing that this beast does. We got the LT to get more storage room and still tow our camper thru the mountains when needed. The kids enjoy the space and the entertainment system. So far this is a great vehicle and compared to the Astro, the quality is much better. I also really like the modular seats that can be interchanged all over the van. One of my passengers was 64" and he was amazed at the room in the back seats.
