Why NOT to buy a 2015 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van

Chevrolet Exress 1500 Cargo Van a Thing of the Past

April 27, 2015
 
The Chevrolet Express Cargo Van (and the GMC Savana Cargo Van) have been the "go-to" van for many business owners for years now. It's simple, easy to operate and has been around so long, it's become the "norm".  However, with a few notable changes for 2015, the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana may no longer be the perfect fit for you that it once was. By limiting engine and Weight Class choices Chevrolet may have handed Nissan a leg up on the competition.
 
For 2015 the Chevrolet Express 1500 and the 4.3L V6 Engine is no longer available. The new staple for Chevrolet Cargo Vans will be the 2500 Series Express Van with the 4.8L V8. Most businesses out there do not need the increased payload of the 2500 nor do they need a V8 engine, both options which will now cost you more. This is where Nissan's NV 1500 Cargo Van can fill that hole nicely. Equipped with a 4.0L V6 and touting 261 Horsepower and 281 lb. ft. of torque, the Nissan NV 1500 offers businesses a "half-ton" cargo van with considerable power and fuel efficiency.
 
When you consider the loss of this 1500 Model, the question has to be asked - what else does the Nissan have the Chevrolet Express doesn't? Here's a list of some differences between the Nissan NV and Chevrolet Express.
