2009 Chevrolet Express LT 1500 AWD

As its name implies, full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) is standard with the 2009 Chevrolet Express LT 1500 AWD. In combination with its 301-hp, 325-lb-ft/torque 5.3-liter engine and standard four-speed automatic transmission, this van provides sure-footed traction, as well as the capability to tow up to 6,000 pounds through all sorts of weather and road conditions. With the ’09 Express 1500, the LS and LT trim levels are the only ones that offer AWD.

The ’09 Chevy Express LT 1500 AWD offers 217 cubic feet of cargo space without the rear seats, five doors, including a single passenger-side sliding back door and two rear swing-out doors, as well as 17-inch wheels, power front windows, and rear-seat air conditioning as additional standard features beyond the LS trim's. Options include a 6-CD changer, alloy wheels, power-adjustable front seats, and a roof rack, among other goodies.
