THIS is the only vehicle to road trip in
Yes I agree 😊
I’m absolutely mindblown that they are still making these. Looks like my old 04 Silverado!
😂
Agreed! Chevy express is good for heavy job, but for something luxury the have to change at least the body! Too OLD!!!
@@alexafanasyev1937I disagree. What is it supposed to look like instead? A sprinter? A round euro whatever? Or an origami body like the Tesla truck? Nah. I'm just glad they updated the interior, not the old high school woodshop oak moulding. The skylights are also a nice touch for long drives.
The ultimate luxury express van
Choosing this van is wise decision for everything. Traveling, family, shipping, mobile home.
This is gonna be my first car bro i swear im working 2 jobs to get this
My parents had a van like this when i was little. We loved it. Cant wait to be able to afford one.
It was probably identical to this one 😂 Nahhh I kidd I kidd...it's a nice van...at least my great grandfather thought so 🤣💀
This is the right van for me to get one bro.
Great review!!! You are very good at this. Keep up the good work.
Guess it takes a little time to get used to having blind spot moniters in a van. Thanks for reviewing this van for us.
I love this van. Too bad I cant afford it 😢
Still should have screen back windows for summer relaxing at the beach
Keep up these reviews!!
The 2022 Chevy explorer van has a v8 and the interior is basically the same
No way I'd pay 94k for a 30k van😢😅
GM should be including all digital dash displays by now and full LED headlights and taillights in these vehicles by now ! They have all the initial engineering and design work done, they need to just install them in these vehicles.
Well done
6.6L gas V8 is a far better engine than the weak gas guzzling V6 for that van.
Yea its got awesome towing capability. It can tow 2 little red wagons. All for what? 2 mpg better than a real motor.
Explorer needs to get with the times. No need for 12 cup holders or a dvd system. Put dimmed cup holders in the cockpit for the driver and front passenger. Replace the cup holders with charging pads and phone/tablet holders. The apple tv is another hole in the console, just go with a streaming tv already. Put some color changing, rhythm syncing, dimming (dim the cup holders also). leds in the thing. Finishes are beautiful, though.
Can I get this in Dual Sliding Doors/ Both sides door?
What about that good woodgrain
Not to be confused with the 2022 Mercedes Sprinter you reviewed earlier 😂
😂😂😂😂
Mercedes sprinter vans suck in the handling aspect. I've driven these for work at close to 85 mph which are Texas highways speeds and they feel very very unstable compared to these old school type vans at the same speed or faster.
Why buy a Luxury SUV or Luxury Minivan as a family vehicle when you can get a limousine-like van instead?
I know I’m late but… I’m looking at 2022 Chevy conversion 6.6L but RWD. Any know if RWD does ok in light snow conditions? Where I live I only have like two to three snow days a year. Any help please!!!
You should be okay as long as you aren’t going too fast.
That electric one is coming. I believe 2025. I applaude GM for keeping the column shift. No air compressor? Did they do away with the “Bass” knob as well up front? What’re the MPG ratings?
Excited for the electric one, and they’ve swapped a few things out as tech has evolved I’m sure. And mpg is closer to 16-18 I think as opposed to 12-14 with the v8. Lots of help from the new 8-speed automatic.
@@NothinButCarReviews I mean the 22+MPG on this new one with the 4.3 is a gamechanger within itself. I had a 2012 Savana 1500 Hightop with the 5.3. It drinked fuel. But fuel wasn’t as expensive as it is now. That’s why I let it go in 2019. GM atleast should’ve updated the front/rear end look as well. We’ll see how this 4.3 with the chip install does. Looks like they’re offer a bigger entertainment screen. The extra USB ports help alot.
Electric vehicles are a scam! The batteries on this won't last for more than a out seven years. This means the resale value on these will be very low for nobody will buy a say five year old electric vehicle that's going to last them another two or three years if lucky. If you can afford to buy new every number of years good for you but even people of less income will be scammed into buying new every seven years. This is not even mentioning electric batteries are hazardous waste once used.
@@davidescobar5366 My gas guzzling vans/SUV’s/pickups has come to a end. I’m not worried about the cool factor or ego. I’m older and wiser. I’ve been looking a minivans lately. I’ll just keep a used pickup on the side to haul things. That’s it
@@Kiddro22in the context of a Chevy conversion van of this purpose, you kinda can't count of charging stations yet. They begin life heavy as heck. Then load for the road trip. Then add the humans. I suppose Walmart if they ever make ev charge stations standard, you can park n charge overnights. Good luck in back country type trips.
May I know how ling is this van? I mean can I park this on an average parking slot or it's too long that I cannot park on regular parking lots? We have a 2010 toyota innova. is it longer? or just the same? thank you
It’s longer than the Sienna, and it’ll be feel more like a class c motor home as opposed to the van I’d say.
Do you have an option for a Mercedes Benz Metris and also a panoramic sunroof or moonroof?
Yes, conversionvanland.com and ask for Sean or Travis, they can get you one.
2023 ??? Feels like I’m looking at a 2012 Chevy
I’m torn between this Chevy model or the ford model. I know the Chevy has been around along time but, the ford one I’m looking at has AWD which is awesome. Do you think find the ford transit vans are better buys?
I prefer the Chevy for space but the ford powertrain is more enjoyable to me.
How long can you finance these for ? Is it considered a rv?
I don't think it qualifies as RV, but it might, and some lender might county as an exotic vehicle and let you finance 10 years.
Great Review, but I needed a dramamine before watching
Is there a back up camera?
Yes
You're a taller guy. How did you find the headroom in this van?
Very good with the high top
@@NothinButCarReviews - Cool! Thanks for the reply!
No V-8 for this year. Nonstarter for many people.
That would be me!
Exactly the perfect van… sticker price?
This one was like $80-$85k I think?
That steering wheel looks off center for a supposedly new car 😂
Man the 6.0 V8 was just fine or the 5.3 v8. This V6 stuff smh…. GM does not make good V6 engines. They should Keep the V8 which is east to work. Great video
I wonder if gives any more room in the engine bay / hole. Lol
Who sell these vans?
conversionvanland.com Mike Castrucci Chevrolet in Milford, OH.
Price?
$80,000
How much?
$88k I think
Nice, but Doesnt seem to change much. Not much new technology in there either.
Most technology is in your pocket these days. Just add plenty of USB ports and enough juice.
Definitely don’t have 350 horses with a 4.3. 276hp my friend
People:this car is old interior:um excuse me
A v 6 w 8,lug nuts dont ma ke sense
Me gusta dónde hesta cuál es el presio terry
$80,000 😂😂😂
Yeah need the v8…
👍👍👍👍👍🚐🎀
No electric please!
$80k for a 2000’s looking van 🤦♂️
I love these vans. Never mind the older looks but the handling of these is superb. I've driven the new Ford and Mercedes European style vans across Texas at highway speeds near 85 mph and they feel very unstable. So much so that in even the slightest amount of rain or uneven payment due to construction or such I would have to slow down considerably anytime that happened. As far as I'm concerned these vans are stable like nothing else for I've also driven them across Texas. Stability hence safety is more important to me than older looks.
Terrible engine choice
Down payment
Depends on credit.
Do not drop the gasoline engines!! I do not feel safe with the electric crap vehicles
How much is this van $$$$$
$80-$85k
