I went with the 3500 Express. I think it is a great value, but do miss not having 4wd - although I have never been stuck. Yes, it does not have all the luxuries, but in the year I have had the Express, we have had some memorable trips with 6 or more people going at one time. My daughters have been spoiled by the new vehicles that I have had - like Suburbans, but are fine in the Express.
The 6.0 with the 6 sp gets me 17-18 mpg for unloaded highway driving, and tows my trailer very well. This was better than my HD pickup. I watched for one that had the backup sensors and rear camera in the mirror, as well as power side mirrors. The price is in the mid-20k, for 2015 models. I bought mine for uner $25k, and was Certified. Therefore, I get 2 years maintenance and warranty.
Many will indicate how dated the Express is, but it will haul a family and trailer.
