The 2025 Chevy Express isn’t known for its modern tech features, but it has a new one this model year. This work van is now available with a dealer-installed Rearview Camera Mirror (RPO 5BJ). The standard Rear Vision Camera (RPO UVC) works only when the vehicle is in reverse, but the new Rearview Camera Mirror option can show you a camera view of what’s behind you all the time.
Notably, it has a different RPO code than the other Rear Camera Mirror (RPO DRZ, pictured below) found in upscale models like Cadillacs and the more high-tech examples of Chevy and GMC trucks. The one for the Express is likely a simpler unit with a lower production cost. It’s a $675 option available on all configurations and trim levels of the 2025 Chevy Express.
A camera mirror is very beneficial for a commercial vehicle like the 2025 Chevy Express. Rear visibility is limited, especially in a cargo van with no side windows, or in the case of a Cutaway variant. The Rearview Camera Mirror will add confidence to driving on busy city streets and the highway while also making parking a little easier.
Another notable change for the 2025 Chevy Express is the discontinuation of an audio system upgrade (RPO U0H). That means you can no longer get a new Express with an MP3 player and USB port. That leaves the standard AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary jack and two front speakers (RPO U0F) as the only audio system option in the work van. However, a Bluetooth connection kit (RPO VUL) is available as a dealer-installed option.
The Chevy Express is offered in multiple unique configurations, namely the Express Cargo, the Express Passenger, and the Express Cutaway, all designed to fill a specific role. Powerplant options include the naturally aspirated 4.3L V6 LV1 gasoline engine, rated at 276 horsepower and 298 pound-feet of torque, and the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine, rated at 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque. Notably, GM dropped the 2.8L I4 LWN turbodiesel Duramax engine option for the 2023 model year.
The 2025 Chevy Express rides on the GMT 610 platform, shared with the GMC Savana, and it’s produced at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri. Notably, the Express Cutaway is also produced by Navistar at a separate facility in Ohio.

Go GM!! Hopefully there will be a few more upgrades before production starts for the 2025’s. Come on GM, send us a little more love for these vans. Lotta people love em. 🙂
GMC the best van out there but I wish they put in the MP3 player option.
Considering it would cost them like $3 to include an mp3 player and Bluetooth as standard, you’d think you wouldn’t have to beg for such a thing.
They refuse to meet demand for this vehicle as they continue to want to force customers into EV.
Navistar is now International Motors.
GM stop taking money away from this money maker. Give the people what they want.If they are willing to pay for it. The Wentzville work force dose a great job at building these. I know , I bend apart of it sense 1983.
Please tell us if these vans are being built at regular production rates and if so where are they all going?
Nothing bright about Brightdrop. America wants an all new Express.
