About the 2022 Chevrolet Express 2500
Long-running 2003-era Express body/chassis generation; 2022 is a very late-cycle year with no redesign or refresh.
The 2022 Express 2500 is Chevrolet’s old-school full-size van for businesses, shuttle use, and buyers who value proven hardware over modern packaging. OEM messaging centers on strong payload and towing capability, configurable cargo or seating layouts, and a standard-height roof that fits more garages and low-clearance areas than tall-roof rivals. It stands out less for tech and more for durability, simple controls, and body-on-frame work-van toughness.
The 2022 Express 2500 remains a straightforward work van in Regular and Extended cargo versions, with up to 283.6 cubic feet of cargo room and a low roof suited to garages. The LS and LT passenger vans seat 12; LT adds a less utilitarian cabin along with Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.
