2003 Chevrolet Express (Extended Length)
The 2003 Chevrolet Express extended length versions stretch out the size
on two of the three Express models. The already large G2500 and G3500
models are infused with even more size and power, moving their specs up
into the ridiculous level. With twelve-passenger seating on the G2500
extended length and available fifteen-passenger seating on the G3500 extended
length, there's no questioning the transporting capabilities of these
full-size vans. Like the regular lengths, extended length Express models
feature a new left-side passenger door, unique access panels, an all-new
look and upgraded powertrains.
Available Models
The G2500 and G3500 extended length come only in base models. However,
there are plenty of upgrades available to adjust the look, feel and performance
of these big vans.
Interior Features
A new electrical architecture inside the 2003 Chevrolet Express gives
drivers more information on the interior workings of the vehicle. An upgraded
communication network transfers data throughout the entire vehicle to
a new instrument cluster, which monitors and reports on up to 20 system
functions. Some of the standards found across both extended length models
include front air conditioning, power steering, digital clock, AM/FM radio
and twin trip odometers.
Optional equipment is available for all extended length Express owners.
Part of the options package includes the maximum fifteen-passenger seating
configuration, while the OnStar system and a six-disc CD changer are also
part of the list.
Exterior Features
New exterior colors for the 2003 Chevrolet Express are Sandalwood Metallic,
Dark Spiral Gray Metallic and Berry Red Metallic. The extended front end
includes a longer hood, a bigger engine compartment and a larger, wraparound
bumper system. New halogen headlamps and larger, revamped taillamps enhance
visibility for an added measure of safety.
Performance
These big guys can perform. For the first time, Express features GM's
unique tow/haul mode, a technology that reduces the frequency and improves
the predictability of transmission shifts when pulling a trailer or carrying
a heavy load. G2500 models are equipped with a 4.8-liter V8 engine with
270 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 285 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Larger
G3500s have a mean 6.0-liter V8 with 300 horsepower at 4400 rpm and 360
lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Both models have 4-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive and torque converter.
G2500 owners needing a little extra power can upgrade to a stronger engine
if they want. This results in a 5.3-liter V8 resting under the hood, capable
of dishing out 285 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 325 lb-ft of torque at 4000
rpm.
Safety and Security
For 2003, the Express offers a four-wheel power disc antilock brake system
as standard equipment. The system features the responsive HydroBoost hydraulic
assist power brake booster. Additional safety features include dual front
airbags and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system
for child seats.
