Rent the Chevrolet Express / Ford E-350 in Phoenix

The Chevrolet Express and Ford E-350 are our full-size 15-passenger vans, offering a great many possibilities for group travel. With a maximum capacity of 15 people and the ability to remove bench seats for flexible cargo configurations, these vans handle everything from sports teams and church groups to corporate retreats and family reunions.

Where we find this comes in particularly handy is for a group of golfers who, with their clubs and luggage, cannot quite fit into a minivan. If you have 8 people and think you would prefer an SUV, check out the Ford Expedition. Looking for comfortable travel with smaller groups, up to 7? Check out our Minivans.

Seating Configuration

Chevrolet Express / Ford E-350 seating configuration diagram

The Chevrolet Express and Ford E-350 offer a maximum capacity of 15 passengers. Behind the driver and passenger seats are four rows of benches. The first three benches seat 3 people each, and the back bench seats 4 — totaling 15 with the driver and front passenger.

Seats are removable, except the driver and passenger seats. This means you can configure for:

  • 15 passengers — all seats in, luggage space is limited
  • 11 passengers — back bench removed, good luggage room
  • 8 passengers — back two benches removed, deluxe cargo space (about 5 feet by 5 feet)

When seating 15, there is no space behind the back bench. All seats are in use, so plan to keep luggage on laps or use a roof carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many passengers do the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-350 seat?
Both the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-350 have a maximum capacity of 15 passengers. By removing bench seats, you can configure for 11, 8, or fewer passengers with increasing amounts of cargo space.
Are the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-350 the same van?
They are very similar — both are full-size 15-passenger vans with comparable dimensions, seating configurations, and cargo capabilities. The main differences are manufacturer branding and minor trim details.
What's the best configuration for a group with lots of luggage?
For golfers or groups with significant luggage, we recommend the 11-passenger configuration with the back bench removed. This provides about 5 feet of cargo depth. For even more cargo space, remove the back two benches for an 8-passenger setup with approximately 5 feet by 5 feet of dedicated cargo area.
