CHEVROLET EXPRESS ULTIMATE SKI VAN: THE CIVILIZED WAY TO HIT THE SLOPES
Ready
to hit the slopes? The Chevrolet Express Ultimate Ski Van makes traveling a
pleasure for any active family on a killer sporting adventure. The Express Ultimate
Ski Van concept made its debut at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Association
show in Las Vegas.
The new segment-busting 2003 Chevy Express offers an all-new look, upgraded powertrains, enhanced safety and reliability, plus industry exclusives, such as a left hand 60/40 passenger door for easy entrance and exit from the vehicle and all-wheel drive making it the ultimate all-terrain full-size van.
The Express Ultimate Ski Van is a 2500 series model with a Vortec 5300 5.3-liter V-8 engine, one of the many configurations offered in the new lineup.
On the outside, the Express Ultimate Ski Van has enhanced rear and front fascia, custom wheel flares and an electrifying exterior paint scheme that will turn heads.
Not that you would notice, because the Express Ultimate Ski Van is ideally equipped with its 22-inch flat-screen TV with VCR and DVD - as well as the gaming system - to keep all passengers entertained for hours. The Chevrolet Express Ski Van also features an in-dash CD changer and a navigation system.
To change into proper apparel for the slopes, the Express Ultimate Ski Van with a high top offers extra room to gear up and you're ready to go.
As you return from the slopes, you turn on Express
Ultimate Ski Van's Webasto pre-heater remotely, providing a cozy welcome to
you and your guests. Once in the van, you can sit down in one of four heated
seats, and dry your boots in the boot dryer.
Since there's nothing like the brisk outdoor air to work up an appetite, the
Express Ultimate Ski Van features hot and cold food/beverage storage units and
a mini microwave. There's also a fold-down table, Aura-Gen generator that can
provide 110-volt power to the vehicle, a rear canopy and auxiliary heaters at
the rear doors that make it perfect for tailgating.
The Chevrolet Express Ultimate Ski Van is proof that you don't need to rough it just because you want to spend some time outdoors.
