Still loving the value of the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana. 03 and up are the face lifted models with newer engines, 08 and up have the updated interior. Skip the V6 if you can. Have logged hundreds of thousands of miles in these units and can’t complain much. Not uncommon to see them over 400k.
Worked for a shop for a while that had the 3.5L Ecoboost full size Transit. I enjoyed driving it as well and wouldn’t hesitate to buy one if I needed to.
