Tried to buy a new 2023 Express with the 6.6 engine (401 hp). Both Chevy and GMC dealers can't submit orders for it, looks like all the the 6.6 engines are going to the far more profitable pickup trucks and SUVs. Ending up finding a nice clean 2014 Express passenger van with the 6.0 and only 45k miles. Almost impossible to find a used passenger van with the big V8, 99.99% of the used vans are cargo vans or stretched 15 passenger ex-shuttle vans will lots of miles and the small V8 or V6 engines.

I mean it's a really good vehicle, and very reliable too. But the fact that they are asking 40 grand(base price) for a vehicle that probably doesn't have an infotainment system in 2021 is absurd. And the fact that you can get a 2010 model for way cheaper and with a low mileage and get the same vehicle as the 2020 one is insane. For 40 grand, you can get much better cargo vehicles from other brands. Whoever is in charge of GM's marketing should be fired.

As for price, a Chevy passenger van with every option comes to $45K, the Ford Transit passenger with comparable options was $75K - for the difference you could take it to a car stereo shop and put in a top of the line infotainment system and still 10s of thousands better off.

I have been in two of these before. The first one was a U-Haul that we rented. It was OK but it needed more stuff. I don’t think all the lights on the dash or on like how they usually are but this one was fine it had interesting features, and it also had missing features as well, this was a newer car probably around 2016 2018 End it didn’t have Bluetooth or parking sensors or USB media port. It probably had an auxiliary input for the radio, the radio I tried to set it to a station that I liked but it was always changing when I push the preset buttons it didn’t save the station that was one of the problems. I think the same thing happened to the Chrysler Newport that I have been in as well, but the van was OK. I still wish it had the bench seat instead of the two bucket seats. The two bucket seats were manual, adjusting manual sliding. It’s just a basic car the car didn’t even come with a key fob. It just came with the key and locks key holes on all the doors so you have to go around and lock all eight of the doors but it did have automatic locks on the inside so I would push the button open up the driver side door, push the button to lock the doors. It will lock the doors and then I would close it. It probably didn’t have an alarm anyways but anyways it was interesting. Also I’ve been in another one of these I don’t know what year these both were anyways, but this other one I think was older also, no Bluetooth , but it did have cigarette lighter inputs and this one the other one here this one when you start it up when you go to start it up every single light is on the dash every single light on the dash is on and it also needed new rear shocks as well I don’t think this one had a back up camera but the U-Haul one did the U-Haul one also had a household style power outlet the other one I don’t think it had it but whenever you go over bumps in these vans, they always seem to go bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Almost every time I like the utilimaster aeromate vans as well some of them come with a four-cylinder engine, possibly a 2.5 or 2.6 K car engine from Chrysler some of them come with a 3 L V6 or 3.3 V6 and their front wheel drive but they also seem to go bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang as well
