Here, resting quietly on the lot, we find a magnificent specimen of the working van in its natural Summit White plumage. This 2022 Chevrolet Express 2500 has covered 94,684 miles in the field, which tells us something important: it has been places, done things, and survived to tell the tale. At $20,690, it occupies a price point where a serious work vehicle becomes genuinely attainable, and we think that deserves a closer look.
The Express 2500 has adapted remarkably well to the demands of its environment. Its 4.3L V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission gives it the steady, measured power a working animal needs, while rear-wheel drive keeps things simple and serviceable. The full-length rubberized vinyl floor covering is, from a naturalist's perspective, a stroke of genius. Mud, gravel, coffee, and the general chaos of a hard day's work can be wiped away without ceremony. Overhead and seat-mounted side-impact airbags, ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and a rear parking camera suggest this creature has developed a surprisingly thorough set of survival instincts. The heated power mirrors are a small but telling detail, the kind of feature that earns quiet appreciation at 6 a.m. in January.
The interior is a study in purposeful plainness. Medium Pewter vinyl seats with front high-back buckets and armrests give the driver and passenger what they actually need: a place to sit that can be cleaned. Air conditioning keeps the cabin livable in warmer months. OnStar connectivity is present for when the specimen wanders into unfamiliar territory and needs guidance. The 16-inch steel wheels complete the picture of a van that has no interest in impressing anyone and every interest in getting the job done. Its natural companion is someone who hauls tools, equipment, or goods for a living and would rather spend money on the work than on the vehicle doing it.
If this Express 2500 looks like the right fit for your operation, we would be glad to tell you more. Give us a call at 978-228-5021 to get the full details or to schedule a time to come see it in person here at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill.
