The Chevrolet Express lineup has been around since 1996, replacing the old Chevy Van that had been a staple of the company’s various lineups for years. Finding a good vehicle transportation company to ship this full-size van is usually pretty easy, but it depends on which specific model you’re shipping. In this article we’ll discuss which passenger van models are currently available as well as what you can expect when it comes time to find a good vehicle transportation company to move it. The Express is available in a wide variety of different options and models; this vehicle transportation article will focus on the 3500 Passenger models. In the link above you will find information about the 1500, 2500 and 3500 passenger vans in full; this article merely glosses over some of the aspects of the vehicle’s models and options, so for more information visit the vehicle transportation link above.
The Chevy Express 3500 Passenger Van currently comes in two models, the LS and the LT. The LS is more of an upgrade of the 2500 LT, and in addition to or replacing certain 2500 LT features includes seating for 12, a 6.0L E85 FlexFuel V8 Vortec engine, available seating for eight, a six-speed automatic transmission, 16-inch steel wheels and an available convenience package which include power windows and door locks. In addition to or replacing certain 3500 LS features, the 3500 LT features a chrome appearance package, rear heating and air conditioning, a deluxe console with a swingout storage bin, a convenience package including power windows and door locks and another featuring a tilt-wheel steering column and cruise control, full-floor carpeting, remote keyless entry and custom cloth front bucket seats.
When it comes to finding a good vehicle transportation company to actually move a Chevy Express 3500 Passenger Van, you should be prepared to spend a bit of extra money. Most vehicle transportation companies will charge an overweight vehicle fee for a vehicle of this size, and for the 3500 it can range anywhere from $300-$450. This is a necessary expense, however, and every vehicle transportation will charge some kind of added fee because heavier vehicles use more fuel to move, and therefore vehicle transportation companies have to cover the additional fuel expenses. The other major thing is the distance between pickup and delivery, as well as their locations. If you’re shipping on a budget, it’s best to talk to your vehicle transportation representative about possible ways to keep your vehicle transportation costs low, including perhaps moving to a more convenient pickup/delivery location for auto transportation carriers to get to or from.
