2013 Chevy Express Review Pictures
The
Chevy Express will look like the newest trucks from Chevy,
including Avalanche, Trail Blazer, Silverado, and the upcoming Colorado.
The 2013 Chevy Express has the high-mounted single crossbar grille
opening with compound complex headlamps filling the front corners.
It features four large fender bulges, a pulled-in waist section on
the body and doors, and a four-pillar roof design leading to a top-hinged
tailgate with opening rear glass. Because of its relatively trim size,
we think it's the best proportioned of all the Chevy trucks.
This 2013 Chevy Express is named for the celestial phenomenon of March 21 and September 21, when there are equal amounts of day and night. The name is meant to reflect the truck's versatility and all-weather capability. It uses a new crossover-based architecture that is the largest in the segment, with the overall length at 187.3 inches, overall height of 66.2 inches, and body width of 72.2 inches on a wheelbase of 112.5 inches, with a wide track measurement of 61.6 inches. The on-demand all-wheel-drive system delivers power to the front wheels during normal driving conditions on dry road surfaces, and delivers power to the rear wheels if front wheel slippage is detected. The Chevy Express is a unitized body made of high-strength steel, with full-length frame rails and a passenger safety cage in a single, welded unit, and isolated sub frames front and rear to keep noise, vibration and shaking to a minimum. It uses Mac Pherson strut front suspension and an independent four-link rear suspension with coil springs, steered by GM's electric power rack-and-pinion steering system. The Chevy Express has vented front disc brakes with dual piston callipers, and drum brakes in the rear.
The Chevy Express features a specially designed sliding rear seat
moves back and forth through a stroke of 8 inches to accommodate cargo,
passengers, or both. The 2013 Chevy Express also has a fold-flat front
passenger seat, combined with a split-folding rear seat, allowing
extra-long cargoes to be carried completely inside the vehicle with
the tailgate down. A height-adjustable cargo shelf, with plastic on
one side and carpet on the other, doubles as a cargo security cover
or a picnic table for tailgate parties, with integrated storage bins
in the rear. Power comes from a 3.4-liter V6 engine that's been around
forever combined with a new 5-speed automatic transaxle. The Vortec
V6 is rated at 185 horsepower, 210 foot-pounds of torque. Maximum
towing capability is expected to be 3500 pounds, with the optional
towing package. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models will
be available.
