UPDATE: Chevrolet has just confirmed that all models of its popular Silverado pickup truck are built in the United States, as the automaker ramps up domestic production amid shifting market dynamics. This announcement comes just as Chevy prepares to introduce new models for the 2027 model year, including a revamped Bolt EV and a gas-powered Blazer, both set to be assembled in the U.S.
The Chevrolet Silverado, which has consistently ranked as one of the top-selling trucks in the U.S., is produced at multiple locations, including the Fort Wayne Assembly in Indiana for the light-duty 1500 models, and the Flint Assembly in Michigan for the heavier 2500 and 3500 models. While many Silverados are manufactured domestically, it’s essential to check the vehicle’s window sticker for specifics, as some are still produced in Mexico and Canada.
In addition to the Silverado, Chevrolet’s full-size SUVs—the Tahoe and Suburban—are also made in the U.S. at the Arlington Assembly in Texas. The Tahoe starts at $62,095, while the Suburban starts at $65,095, offering spacious interiors for families. The Chevrolet Traverse, known for its crossover design, is built in Lansing, Michigan, and priced significantly lower than its SUV counterparts.
The iconic Chevrolet Corvette continues its legacy in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where it has been manufactured since 1981. Enthusiasts can even participate in the assembly process of the Corvette Z06’s V8 engine, enhancing the emotional connection between the brand and its customers.
Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Colorado midsize truck and the Express van are produced at the Wentzville Assembly Center in Missouri. The Colorado has been awarded Motor Trend Truck of the Year multiple times, indicating its popularity and reliability in the market.
Chevrolet’s commitment to electric vehicles remains strong, with the 2027 Bolt EV aiming to be the most affordable EV on the market at a starting price of $28,995. Production will shift to a new facility in Kansas City, as GM focuses on reviving electric sales that have seen a significant decline.
As the automotive industry faces challenges from rising costs and global supply chain issues, Chevrolet’s focus on U.S. production not only supports American jobs but also caters to a growing demand for domestically made vehicles. The company’s strategic moves come at a crucial time when consumer preferences are rapidly changing.
What to Watch: As Chevy rolls out its 2027 models, industry experts are closely monitoring how these changes will impact sales and market share. With tariffs influencing production decisions, more shifts could occur, potentially moving additional manufacturing back to the U.S. from other countries.
Stay tuned for more updates as Chevrolet continues to adapt to the evolving automotive landscape, ensuring it remains a key player in the industry.
