What Owners are Saying About the 2004 Chevrolet Express 1500 Cargo

"It won't die."

"I have a 2009. Bought it at 170000 kms. Now it has 250,000 kms. The oil cooler and transmission cooler lines rusted so I replaced those. An oxygen sensor went. I just now see the water pump is leaking and the ventilation fan has a bad connection. The right rear door has a hinge that is broken. The emergency brake cable rusted out. And the airbag light has been on for four years. But this van always starts. Never let me down. Even on the coldest Canadian morning. I have put only about $500 in repairs to drive this vehicle from 170,000 to 250,000. It needs a lot of work but it still gets me to my job and back. If you do not want to go broke fixing cargo vans, do NOT buy a euro-style van. Stick to the GM products. These things are not pretty, they are crude, but they cost nothing to keep on the road."

"Excellent van"

"I have had my express 2500 cargo van for 3 years and have had no problems whatsoever. Smooth ride! Not bad on gas 17-28 mpg"

"Yes"

"Got it brand new at Tropical Chevrolet , best van I ever bought best engine 5.3 never had a problem and can take me anywhere"
