November 16, 2022

New LV series combines renowned interior build with expanded vehicle capabilities to level-up the van life experience for all

GYPSUM and RIFLE, COLORADO – Nov. 16, 2022 – Dave & Matt Vans, the ‘lifestyle vehicle’ company that manufactures, sells, and rents vans featuring “everything you need and nothing you don’t,” today announces its new lineup of Lifestyle Vehicles (LVs) for 2023, offering greater capability than ever before.

Built on the all-new 2023 Ram ProMaster chassis, Dave & Matt Vans’ 2023 LVs will further enhance the van living experience for part-time and full-time van lifers alike, with the most standard safety features ever included on a commercial van, a new nine-speed 948TE automatic transmission, a fleet-specific five-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and more – all built out with Dave & Matt Vans’ signature utility.

“We’ve always prided ourselves on offering Lifestyle Vehicles that provide exceptional functionality and performance, and this new lineup takes that to the next level,” said Matt Fesler, Chief Marketing Officer of Dave & Matt Vans. “With a broad range of vehicle upgrades, our 2023 LVs are more powerful, more reliable, and ultimately more capable than ever, opening the door to greater adventures, increased versatility, and even better living for our owners. Meanwhile, we’re staying true to the characteristics that have always defined Dave & Matt Vans, continuing to offer some of the most practical and accessible vehicle packages in the industry.”

At the heart of these LVs’ incredible capacity is a 3.6-liter, 24-valve, variable valve timing Pentastar® V6 engine (3.6L V6 24V VVT) that boasts 276 horsepower at 6,400 revolutions per minute, offering the power drivers need to both ‘go the distance’ and seek out the road less traveled for off-road adventures. And with expanded oil change intervals of 10,000 miles, owners can enjoy more play and less maintenance.

Meanwhile, the extensive lineup of premium safety features integrated into the 2023 LVs includes all-speed traction control, electronic stability control, forward collision assist, crosswind assist, drowsy driver detection, electronic roll mitigation, and much more. Further bolstering their reliability, the 2023 LVs also include five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance and a one-year craftmanship warranty on all vehicles, in addition to Dave & Matt Vans’ extended powertrain warranty.

The updated LV exterior boasts a redesigned front end that includes standard halogen headlights and fog lamps, and a modular bumper with a built-in step to assist with changing wiper blades and cleaning the windshield. Additional exterior features include dual-side cargo windows with sliding screens, and black steel wheels.

For 2023, Dave & Matt Vans moves forward with the highly praised, fully redesigned interiors debuted across its limited run of 2022 LVs, with exceptional optionality.

Optional build upgrades include:

· A Foldaway Double Seat that adds two three-point belted seats in the vehicle’s living space

· An Additional Storage Bench that doubles the vehicle’s available bench storage area (available on select models and/or configurations)

· A Power Boost that adds a third battery and an extra storage panel, for more power storage with a quicker charge – ideal for longer weekend getaways!

· A Power Boost+, which adds two additional batteries and up to two solar panels (based on model) for those owners with the biggest electrical demands, and for additional reliability and peace of mind no matter the circumstance.

· A Stow Table that provides a movable surface for work or meals

· And more

Among the broad range of features that come standard in Dave & Matt Vans’ upgraded interior build are an All-Electric Kitchenette with induction cooktop; a Lofted Bed with a custom-made, layered foam mattress; an open GEARage storage area perfect for stashing gear; a Drop-In Storage System that allows owners to pick and choose their optimal storage configuration; Zoned Cabin Lighting with included dimming capability; and many more.
