ENGINE
ENGINEERED TO BE CHEVY TRUCK TOUGH.
Towing a boat, moving the family, or merging onto the highway are simple
feats with the Chevy Express. That's the kind of strong, reliable
performance you get with Vortec V6 and powerful Vortec V8 gasoline engines.
In fact, Chevy Express has the most powerful standard engine lineup in its
class.(2)
