Built for the Big Jobs: The 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 High Cube Van at Emerson Chevrolet
In the world of logistics, delivery, and professional services, your vehicle isn’t just a ride—it’s your mobile headquarters. It’s the difference between a one-trip job and a logistical headache. At Emerson Chevrolet, located at 946 Center St in Auburn, we’ve spent over 60 years providing Maine’s workforce with the tools they need to succeed. Today, we’re featuring a powerhouse in the commercial world: the 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 High Cube Van with an 18-foot Baybridge body.
If you need maximum volume, a stand-up workspace, and the legendary durability of a Chevy chassis, this "High Cube" is the solution your business has been looking for.
The Baybridge Advantage: 18 Feet of Pure Potential
The standout feature of this 3500-series van is the 18-foot High Cube body by Baybridge. For those unfamiliar, a High Cube (or cutaway) van offers significantly more vertical and horizontal space than a traditional cargo van.
- Massive Volume: The 18-foot length provides the square footage of a small box truck but remains mounted on a nimble van chassis. Whether you're hauling furniture, oversized appliances, or acting as a mobile workshop, this body gives you the room to organize without compromise.
- Stand-Up Interior Height: No more crouching. The "High Cube" design allows most professionals to stand fully upright inside the cargo area. This is a game-changer for loading/unloading efficiency and for those who need to work inside the vehicle throughout the day.
- High-Quality Construction: Baybridge is known for their "Radius Front" designs which help with aerodynamics (crucial for a vehicle of this size) and heavy-duty cast corners that protect your investment from the inevitable bumps and scrapes of a busy job site.
- Rear Loading Efficiency: Equipped with a wide rear opening—often featuring a roll-up door—this van is designed for quick loading at docks or street-level deliveries.
Heavy-Duty DNA: The Chevrolet 3500 Chassis
A big box needs a big foundation. The 2016 Express 3500 was engineered to be the backbone of the American workforce.
- Vortec 6.0L V8 Power: This van is powered by the legendary Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, delivering 342 horsepower and 373 lb-ft of torque. In the 3500 series, this engine is built for "severe duty," meaning it’s designed to run all day, every day, under heavy loads.
- 6-Speed Heavy-Duty Automatic Transmission: The Hydra-Matic 6-speed transmission includes Tap-Up/Tap-Down driver shift control and an auto-grade braking feature. When you're navigating the hills of Western Maine with a full cargo bay, having a transmission that helps you manage your speed on descents is a vital safety feature.
- Durable Suspension: The 3500 chassis features a heavy-duty independent front suspension and a multi-leaf rear suspension. It is built to handle a high Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), ensuring that even when the 18-foot Baybridge body is full, the van remains stable and predictable.
Designed for the Driver
In a commercial vehicle, the driver’s seat is an office. Chevrolet understands that comfort directly impacts productivity.
- Functional Cockpit: The 2016 Express features a straightforward, ergonomic layout. All controls are within easy reach, and the high seating position provides an excellent view of the road—essential for navigating tight Auburn side streets or busy loading zones.
- Climate Control & Connectivity: Standard air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable during a humid Maine July, while the available audio systems ensure you can stay connected to the office or enjoy your favorite podcast between stops.
- Ease of Access: The "Cutaway" design allows for easy movement between the driver’s seat and the cargo area (depending on the specific bulkhead configuration), saving you from having to exit the vehicle every time you need a tool from the back.
Safety and Security on the Job
When you’re carrying your livelihood in the back, safety isn't optional.
- StabiliTrak Stability Control: This system helps you maintain your path in low-traction conditions—a must-have for Maine winters.
- 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with ABS: Even with an 18-foot body, you need confident stopping power. The Express 3500 features large, ventilated disc brakes at all four corners.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring: Keeping 3500-series tires at the correct pressure is critical for fuel economy and safety, especially when hauling heavy payloads.
