We have four Chevy Express vans for our small business, one 2009, two 2010's, and one 2013. None of these have very high mileage and are not used hard.

BUT. Paint is another issue. At least factory white paint. The 2009 and both 2010's started peeling badly after about 3 years. And if you watch, you can probably drive for an hour on a busy street/highway and see several white Chevy Express vans with peeling paint on the hood, and sides just under the rain gutter, and maybe the back door. And GM is no help in doing anything about it. I am somewhat surprised there has not been a class action suit filed against GM about it.
