The '''Chevrolet Express''' (also known as the '''GMC Savana''') is a series of full-size [[van]]s produced by [[General Motors]] since 1996. The successor to the Chevrolet [[Chevrolet van#Third generation (1971-1996)|G-series van]], the Express is produced in passenger and cargo variants. Alongside the standard van body, the line is offered as a [[cutaway van chassis]], which is a [[chassis cab]] variant developed for commercial-grade applications, including [[ambulances]], [[buses]], [[motorhome]]s, and small [[trucks]].

In production for a single generation since 1996,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oct 29, 1995, page 187 - The Tampa Tribune at Newspapers.com |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/340535938/ |access-date=2024-04-30 |website=Newspapers.com |language=en}}</ref> over three million examples of the Express and the Savana have been produced.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hunt |first=Rhian |date=2024-04-15 |title=GM Has Sold Over 3 Million Chevy Express, GMC Savana Units |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/04/gm-sold-more-than-3-million-chevy-express-gmc-savana-units-so-far/ |access-date=2024-12-21 |language=en-US}}</ref> One of the longest-produced designs in American automotive history, the Express/Savana are rivaled only by the [[Jeep Wagoneer (SJ)|Jeep Wagoneer]] and [[Dodge Ram van|Dodge Ram Van]] for longevity.  

Since 1995, General Motors has assembled the Express and Savana at its [[Wentzville Assembly]] facility ([[Wentzville, Missouri]]). Also, since 2017, GM has sourced commercial cutaway-chassis production from [[Navistar]] through its Springfield Assembly Plant ([[Springfield, Ohio]]).<ref name=":82">{{Cite web |date=July 16, 2019 |title=2021 Chevy Express Rumors, Redesign, Price |url=https://chevycarusa.com/2021-chevy-express-rumors-redesign-price/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124132015/https://chevycarusa.com/2021-chevy-express-rumors-redesign-price/ |archive-date=January 24, 2021 |access-date=January 2, 2021 |website=Chevy Car USA |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":42">{{Cite web |title=2022 Chevy Express And GMC Savana To Drop CD Player Option |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/2022-chevy-express-and-gmc-savana-to-drop-cd-player-option/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210701085330/https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/2022-chevy-express-and-gmc-savana-to-drop-cd-player-option/ |archive-date=July 1, 2021 |access-date=2021-07-01 |website=GM Authority |date=July 2021 }}</ref>

For the 1996 model year, Chevrolet replaced the G-series [[Chevrolet van|Chevrolet Van]] with the Chevrolet Express (retaining Chevrolet Van for cargo vans).  The first all-new design for the General Motors full-size van line since 1971, the model line was offered in passenger-van and cargo-van variants (the latter initially retained the Chevrolet Van name), with GMC replacing the Vandura/Rally with the Savana.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|date=May 25, 2020|title=1996 Chevrolet Express Full-Size Van First Drive Review|language=en-US|work=MotorTrend|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevrolet/express/1996/1996-chevrolet-express/|access-date=January 4, 2021|archive-date=November 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130075437/https://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevrolet/express/1996/1996-chevrolet-express/|url-status=live}}</ref> Alongside the first substantial redesign of the model line in 25 years, GM predicted substantial growth in the full-size segment through the end of the 1990s.<ref name=":1" />

In a major functional change, the front axle was moved forward 10 inches, effectively moving the front wheels out of the passenger compartment; along with improving front legroom, the design allowed a reduction in step-in height (improving access).<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Chevrolet Trucks Specifications {{!}} 1996 Chevrolet G-Vans|url=https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/G-Van/1996-Chevrolet-G-Van.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140730123246/http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/G-Van/1996-Chevrolet-G-Van.pdf |archive-date=July 30, 2014 |access-date=|website=GM Heritage Archive {{!}} Vehicle Information Kits (1996 Chevrolet G Van)}}</ref> While sharing the same engine sizes as the previous model line, the size of the engine cover was reduced, further increasing front passenger space.<ref name=":2" /> On all vehicles below 8,500 lbs GVWR (1500 and 2500 series), the Express was introduced with standard dual airbags; for 1997, dual airbags were standardized for all versions of the model line.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=1999 Chevrolet G-Van: Express, Cargo, and Cutaway|url=https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/G-Van/1999-Chevrolet-G-Van.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140730122508/http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/G-Van/1999-Chevrolet-G-Van.pdf |archive-date=July 30, 2014 |access-date=|website=GM Heritage Center {{!}} Vehicle Information Kits (1999 Chevrolet G-Vans)}}</ref>

Cargo and base models were equipped with a single [[sealed beam]] halogen headlamp on each side. The LS trim changed this to a composite headlamp assembly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://media.buick.com/content/dam/Media/documents/CA/Archives/EN/Vehicles/chevy_truck/1996Express.html |title=1996 Chevrolet Express Van |publisher=General Motors |via=Buick Media |access-date=19 October 2023}}</ref>

For 1999, a few minor functional changes were made to the model line. In a more noticeable update, Chevrolet retired the Chevrolet Van nameplate entirely, with the cargo van renamed the Express Cargo Van.<ref name=":3" />

For 2003, the Express and Savana underwent a mid-cycle revision. Alongside substantial frame and chassis upgrades, the bodywork forward of the windshield was revised.<ref name=":3"/> Distinguished by a higher hood line, the newer front fascia (developed as an improved crumple zone<ref name=":3" />) was brought closer in line with the GMT800 full-size pickup trucks introduced for 1999; the model line also introduced a degree of parts commonality between the two model lines.<ref name=":3" /> The dashboard underwent a redesign; along with the addition of dual-stage airbags, the interior added multiplex wiring (adding increased functionality to the interior electrical system).<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=November 8, 2002|title=2003 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevrolet/express/2003/2003-chevrolet-express-gmc-savana/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005031944/http://www.motortrend.com:80/cars/chevrolet/express/2003/2003-chevrolet-express-gmc-savana/ |archive-date=October 5, 2017 |access-date=|website=Motor Trend}}</ref><ref name="edmunds">{{Cite web|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express-cargo/2003/review/|title=2003 Chevrolet Express Cargo Review & Ratings|website=Edmunds|access-date=November 30, 2020|archive-date=December 12, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201212093949/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express-cargo/2003/review/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Express and Savana offered with 60/40 split panel doors on the passenger-side of the vehicle; in a first (since the [[Corvair Greenbrier Sportswagon|Corvair cargo van]]), an option was added for the driver-side to receive the same split panel doors; this option was limited to the standard-length body (requiring doors on both sides).<ref name=":5" /> The option for the driver-side split 60/40 panel doors was available through the 2014 model year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2014-Chevrolet-Commercial.pdf |title=2014 Commercial |publisher=Chevrolet |date=2014 |access-date=1 February 2023 |archive-date=February 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230201235418/https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2014-Chevrolet-Commercial.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2014-GMC-Savana.pdf |title=2014 Savana |publisher=GMC Trucks |date=2014 |access-date=1 February 2023 |archive-date=February 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230201235420/https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2014-GMC-Savana.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><!--The 2015 Savana brochure does not mention any driver-side second-row door options, so it appears that MY2014 is the final year it was offered: https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2015-GMC-Savana.pdf -->

Since its 2003 model revision, the Express has seen incremental updates to the model line. The light-duty 2500 vans (below 8,500 pounds GVWR) were discontinued for 2006. For 2008, the Express passenger van received side-curtain airbags and standard stability control (introduced for 3500-series vans for 2005<ref>{{Cite web|title=2005 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2005/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=June 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210612151356/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2005/review/|url-status=live}}</ref>); the steering wheel, seats, and gauge cluster were also redesigned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2008 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2008/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=June 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602043343/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2008/review/|url-status=live}}</ref> For 2011, the dashboard received upgrades (including Bluetooth compatibility and a USB port).<ref>{{Cite web|title=2011 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2011/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=August 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808002745/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2011/review/|url-status=live}}</ref> For 2013, higher-trim passenger vans received an optional navigation system, rearview camera, and parking assist system.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2013 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2013/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=August 13, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813033914/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2013/review/|url-status=live}}</ref>

An all-wheel drive option was offered for the model years 2003–2014 on 1500 and light-duty 2500 vans (below 8,500 lbs GVWR). AWD vans came exclusively with a 135" wheelbase and GM's 5.3L V8.

For 2022, the Express entered its 26th year of production, overtaking the 1971–1996 Chevrolet Van in production longevity. As the music format had been phased out of automobiles (in favor of Bluetooth-based content), the CD player was discontinued as an option.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=2022 Chevy Express And GMC Savana To Drop CD Player Option |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/2022-chevy-express-and-gmc-savana-to-drop-cd-player-option/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210701085330/https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/07/2022-chevy-express-and-gmc-savana-to-drop-cd-player-option/ |archive-date=July 1, 2021 |access-date=2021-07-01 |website=GM Authority |date=July 2021 }}</ref>

For 2024, the Express and Savana received updated 8-speed automatic transmissions for both V6 and V8 engines.

== Model overview ==

=== Chassis ===
The Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana use the [[GM GMT platform#Vans|GM GMT600 chassis]], developed exclusively for full-size vans. Derived loosely from the GMT400 chassis of the [[Chevrolet C/K (fourth generation)|fourth-generation C/K trucks]], the model line uses a full-length ladder frame with boxed forward frame rails.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> The GMT600 chassis was offered in two wheelbases: standard-length 135-inch and extended 155-inch (though the latter was only available on the 2500 and 3500 series).<ref name=":1" /> A replacement for the 110-inch short-wheelbase van (discontinued after 1992) was not included as part of the GMT600 design, as the short-body van had functionally been superseded by the [[Chevrolet Astro|Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari]] mid-size vans.

For 2003, the GMT600 chassis underwent a substantial revision and was redesignated GMT610. In line with the [[GMT800]] chassis, the GMT610 adopted a three-section fully-boxed frame.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|last=Swan|first=Tony|date=April 1, 2003|title=Tested: 2003 Chevy Express AWD|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15135260/chevy-express-awd-short-take-road-test|access-date=January 4, 2021|website=Car and Driver|language=en-US|archive-date=January 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125170916/https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15135260/chevy-express-awd-short-take-road-test/|url-status=live}}</ref> With slight modifications, the GMT610 also adopted the front suspension of the GMT800 pickup trucks, with [[Double wishbone suspension|short- and long-arm front suspension]] (rear-wheel drive) and torsion-bar front springs (all-wheel drive).<ref name=":5" /> In another change, four-wheel disc brakes were introduced, standardizing anti-lock brakes (ABS).<ref name=":7" /> In a first for the full-size van segment, the GMT610 platform was also offered with full-time all-wheel drive as an option.<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":5" />

==== Powertrain details ====
The Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana were initially available with five engine options. Shared with [[Chevrolet C/K|C/K pickup]] trucks, a [[Chevrolet 90° V6 engine#4.3L (262 CID)|4.3&nbsp;L V6]] was standard, while 5.0&nbsp;L, 5.7&nbsp;L, [[Detroit Diesel V8 engine|6.5&nbsp;L turbo-diesel]], and 7.4&nbsp;L V8s were options.<ref name=":1" /> All gasoline engines adopted the "Vortec" port-fuel injection upgrades for 1996, increasing power and torque outputs; the 6.5&nbsp;L turbo-diesel was offered in a GM full-size van for the first time. All engines were paired with a 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission, carried over from the previous van; the 1500 and light-duty 2500 series (below 8,500 pounds GVWR) used a [[GM 4L60-E transmission|4L60-E]] transmission while the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 series (above 8,500 pounds GVWR) used a heavier-duty [[GM 4L80-E transmission|4L80-E]] unit.

For 2001, the Vortec 7400 was replaced by the longer-stroke Vortec 8100 (at 496 cubic inches, this is the largest-displacement engine ever factory-marketed by Chevrolet); the engine was offered for the Express through 2002.

For 2003, the engine lineup underwent a series of revisions. The 4.3&nbsp;L V6 was retained but was only available on the 1500 and light-duty 2500 series. The [[General Motors LS-based small-block engine#Generation III (1997–2007)|"Generation III" small-block V8]] engines (based on the LS-series engines) were introduced, with the Express and Savana receiving the 5.3&nbsp;L V8 (on light-duty vans) and the 4.8&nbsp;L and 6.0&nbsp;L V8s (on heavy-duty vans).<ref name=":5" />

For 2006, the Express and Savana were once again offered with a diesel engine option, adopting a detuned version of the 6.6&nbsp;L [[Duramax V8 engine#LLY/LBZ|Duramax V8]] (LGH) from the Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick. For 2007, the 5.3&nbsp;L V8 was available with flex-fuel (E85) capability; this was made standard in 2008.

For 2010, 2500- and 3500-series vans used the six-speed [[GM 6L80 transmission|6L90]] transmission, and the 4.8&nbsp;L and 6.0&nbsp;L V8s gained flex-fuel (E85 capability).

Coinciding with the discontinuation of the 1500 series, the Vortec 4300 V6 (the final engine derived from the original Chevrolet small-block V8) was discontinued in 2014.

After 2016, the 6.6&nbsp;L Duramax diesel V8 was discontinued; a 2.8&nbsp;L [[Duramax I4 engine|inline-4 Duramax]] (the first four-cylinder in a full-size Chevrolet van since 1964) replaced it as the diesel engine offering. For 2018, an "EcoTec3" 4.3&nbsp;L V6 was introduced as the base gasoline engine; the same year, CNG/LPG capability was added as an option to the 6.0&nbsp;L V8.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-09-22 |title=2018 Chevy Express Changes, Updates, New Features {{!}} GM Authority |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/chevrolet/express/2018-chevrolet-express/2018-chevrolet-express-updates-changes-new-features/ |access-date=2025-03-29 |language=en-US}}</ref>

For 2021, the 6.0&nbsp;L V8 was replaced by an all-new 6.6&nbsp;L V8 (L8T) first introduced in the 2020 Silverado HD.<ref>{{cite web|date=March 3, 2020|title=2021 Chevrolet Express Receives New 6.6L V8 Gas Engine|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/03/2021-chevrolet-express-receives-new-6-6l-v8-gas-engine/|publisher=GM Authority|access-date=March 3, 2020|archive-date=March 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303225948/https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/03/2021-chevrolet-express-receives-new-6-6l-v8-gas-engine/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The 1500 and light-duty 2500 series had a 3.42 or 3.73 axle ratio, while the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 series vans have either a 3.73 axle or 4.10 axle ratio.

=== Body design ===
Far more aerodynamic than its predecessor, the Chevrolet Express derived much of exterior styling from the Chevrolet Astro mid-size van (including its flush-mounted exterior glass<ref name=":2" />), deriving its grille from multiple trims of the [[Chevrolet C/K (fourth generation)|Chevrolet C/K]] pickup trucks.<ref name=":1" /> Similar to the [[Chevrolet Lumina APV|APV minivans]], the Express adopted high-mounted taillamps next to the rear windows, placed above the rear door hinges. In a design advancement for the market segment, the rear doors are hinged to open nearly 180 degrees, allowing the vehicle to back up to a loading dock.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

The cargo van is offered as a two-passenger vehicle (initially with an optional passenger seat delete); the passenger van is offered as a 5-, 8-, 12-, or 15-passenger vehicle (the latter, only with the extended 155-inch wheelbase).<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":5" />{{clarification needed|date= October 2025|reason= Does "two-passenger vehicle" mean it has three seats (one for the driver and two for the passengers) or does it mean it has two seats (counting the driver as a passenger)? Repeat for each successive number.}}

In reverse of its predecessor, 60/40 split side doors were standard, with a sliding door offered as an option (initially at no cost).<ref name=":6" /> From 2003 to 2014, side doors were offered on the driver side; only the split-panel doors were offered, and only on standard-wheelbase bodies.<ref name=":5" />

=== Trim ===

For its 1996 launch, Chevrolet used the Chevrolet Express model name for full-size passenger vans, with Chevrolet Van returning for cargo vans (renamed Express Cargo Van for 1999<ref name=":3" />).<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

The Express passenger van was introduced with two trim lines: an unnamed base trim (geared largely towards fleet sales) replacing the Sportvan and the upgraded LS, replacing the Beauville.<ref name=":2" /> For 2001, an upgraded LT trim was introduced, but was dropped for 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2001 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2001/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us}}</ref> For 2006, the trim line was revised again to the current nomenclature, with the base trim renamed LS, and LS renamed LT.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2006 Chevrolet Express Review & Ratings|url=https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2006/review/|access-date=2021-06-10|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=June 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210620101427/https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/express/2006/review/|url-status=live}}</ref> For 2007, the 2500 and 3500 badges on the front doors were dropped.

In line with the previous Chevrolet Van, the Express uses "G" as its internal model designator ("H" was used for all-wheel-drive vans during their production).<ref name=":2" /> In line with the fourth-generation C/K pickup trucks, the Express/Savana adopted the 1500/2500/3500 payload series designations. After the 2014 model year, the {{Fraction|1|2}}-ton 1500-series was discontinued (with GM citing it as the lowest-selling version).<ref>{{cite web |date=July 15, 2014 |title=Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/15/chevy-express-1500-gmc-savana-1500-vans-discontinued/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117091249/http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/15/chevy-express-1500-gmc-savana-1500-vans-discontinued/ |archive-date=November 17, 2015 |access-date=December 15, 2015 |publisher=Autoblog.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=July 24, 2014|title=Chevrolet Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 Dropped From Lineup for 2015|url=https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/chevrolet-express-1500-gmc-savana-1500-dropped-from-lineup-for-2015.html|access-date=January 5, 2021|website=Edmunds|language=en-us|archive-date=September 23, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200923192523/https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/chevrolet-express-1500-gmc-savana-1500-dropped-from-lineup-for-2015.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since 1996, GMC has marketed the GMC Savana as its version of the Chevrolet Express. In line with Chevrolet, GMC consolidated the previous GMC Vandura (cargo van) and GMC Rally/Rally STX (passenger van) under a single nameplate, with Savana offered as a passenger van, cargo van, and as a cutaway-chassis vehicle (see below).

With the exception of its grille and GMC divisional badging, the GMC Savana is essentially identical to the Chevrolet Express. Using the same LS and LT trims as Chevrolet, the Savana is the only current GMC model line not offered with the [[GMC Denali|Denali]] or AT4 trim.

Sharing the same model development as its Chevrolet counterpart, the Savana has undergone only minor detail changes since 2003. As of current production, the Express outsells the Savana approximately three-to-one.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GMC Savana |url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gmc/savana/ |access-date=January 4, 2021 |website=GM Authority |date=November 13, 2015 |archive-date=December 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201221083531/https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gmc/savana/ |url-status=live }}</ref>{{Clear|left}}

=== GMT560 (2003–2009) ===
{{Main|Chevrolet Kodiak}}
For 2003, General Motors introduced the GMT560 medium-duty truck architecture for Chevrolet, GMC, and Isuzu. The vertically oriented cab from the full-size van line replaced the pickup-truck cab previously used. Alongside a two-door configuration, GMT560 vehicles offered a four-door crew cab configuration.

Produced as a Class 5–7 truck, the GMT560 vehicles (the Chevrolet Kodiak, GMC TopKick, and Isuzu H-Series) were offered in 4×2, 4×4, and 6×4 drive for multiple applications.

After 2009, General Motors ended medium-duty truck production, leading to the discontinuation of the GMT560 chassis.

=== Cutaway chassis (1997–present) ===

[[File:Chevrolet Thomas Minotour.jpg|thumb|Chevrolet Express with a Thomas Minotour body (NJ spec)]]

For 1997, GM introduced a cutaway-chassis version of the 3500-series Express/Savana. Replacing the previous G30/G3500 (the larger "HD" variant was not replaced), the cutaway-chassis Express/Savana is an incomplete vehicle (a chassis produced with no bodywork aft of the front seats) intended for additional fabrication by a second-party manufacturer. Intended for a wide variety of potential applications, cutaway chassis are best known as the basis of ambulances, buses (shuttle buses and school buses), and recreational vehicles (RVs); they also are fitted with delivery truck bodies or utility bodies (increasing their storage space over a standard cargo van).

Offered with either Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana branding on both the GMT600 and GMT610 platforms, the cutaway chassis is offered on the 3500 series in both dual-rear-wheel and single-rear-wheel configurations (the latter, trading increased maneuverability for lower GVWR). For 2009, GM introduced a 4500-series Express/Savana developed specifically for cutaway applications, raising its GVWR to 14,200 pounds and effectively filling the void left by the G3500HD's 1997 discontinuation.<ref>{{Cite web|title=GM boosts 4500 cutaway|date=May 2008 |url=https://www.trailer-bodybuilders.com/archive/article/21725887/gm-boosts-4500-cutaway|access-date=January 5, 2021|publisher=Trailer/Body Builders|archive-date=March 8, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308202409/https://www.trailer-bodybuilders.com/archive/article/21725887/gm-boosts-4500-cutaway|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=February 29, 2008 |title=First Look: 2009 Chevrolet Express And GMC Savana 4500 Cutaway Van |url=http://www.trucktrend.com/news/163-news080229-2009-chevy-express-4500-and-2009-gmc-savana-4500-cutaway-van/ |access-date=January 5, 2021 |website=Truck Trend |archive-date=February 20, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220071616/http://www.trucktrend.com/news/163-news080229-2009-chevy-express-4500-and-2009-gmc-savana-4500-cutaway-van/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
