The Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van offers a variety of engine options to choose from, while there is a single RWD drivetrain option. The Chevy Cargo van 2500 is powered by a standard 4.3L V6 gas engine which is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and generates an output of 276 hp and 298 lb-ft of torque, on the other hand, there are two optional engines available, a 6.6L V8 engine that generates 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, a 2.8L Duramax Turbodiesel 4-cylinder engine that generates 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque respectively. In contrast to the V8's heavy-duty six-speed automatic, the V6 and turbodiesel engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, the base trim with the standard engine can complete a 0 to 60 MPH run in 8.8 seconds while it takes 16.7 seconds to cover the quarter-mile time. Furthermore, the standard V6 engine, can pull up and manage rather large weights with a maximum towing capability of 10,000 lbs, the available V8 is still the strongest engine, surpassing the four-cylinder turbo-diesel. Once it starts going, the van really glides very beautifully with sluggish acceleration, and power is entirely sent to the rear wheels in all variants. The low-end torque is sufficient to get around town without too much difficulty, but if you load the van to the maximum, expect things to alter.

2022 Chevrolet Express 2500 Ride and Handling
The Chevy Express 2500 Cargo Van comes equipped with aluminized stainless-steel muffler and tailpipe which offers a lightweight, low-cost, quality, performance, longevity, extreme workability, and helps resist rust and corrosion. Furthermore, it comes with a front independent with coil springs and stabilizer bar suspension which offers better handling and cornering, higher riding comfort, increased stability and steering, and reduced weight. It comes with power steering that increases steering assistance while moving slowly, especially when parking. On the other hand, it has a rear hypoid drive axle with multi-leaf springs they are perfect for commercial vehicles since they bear the chassis' weight. They further manage axle damping. The high rear moment center and large spring base allow for more effective control of the chassis roll. The Express resembles a horseless wagon in many aspects, including how it drives. Although the van's acceleration is strong though uninspired, you shouldn't want to be driving rapidly in any direction other than a straight line due to its relatively restricted handling qualities. The vehicle rolls a lot when you try to turn without slowing down significantly. The engines will express their annoyance when forced to tow big loads at any rate of speed, although road noise is generally well-managed.
2022 Chevrolet Express 2500 Braking Performance
The Chevy Van Express 2500 comes equipped with StabiliTrak, an electronic stability control system with traction control that automatically improves control by altering the brakes and engine torque to keep you on your desired course, especially during emergency maneuvers. It comes equipped with brake rotors measuring 12.8 inches at the front and 13 inches at the rear. Furthermore, it applies selective braking pressure to certain wheels to assist the driver in keeping the car on the intended course. Additionally, it uses Traction Control, which monitors wheel slippage and adjusts brake pressure or lowers engine power to assist the driver in maintaining control when accelerating on slick or snow-covered roads.
