Chevy trucks are built across a North American network of plants, with most U.S.-market production centered in Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri. Each model has a home plant, and some share production with facilities in Canada or Mexico.
If you’ve been asking “Where is the Chevy Colorado made?” the answer’s simple: every Colorado comes from Wentzville Assembly, just outside St. Louis.
Ask “Where is the Chevy Silverado made?” and it depends on the truck. Fort Wayne Assembly in Roanoke, Indiana, is the light-duty Silverado’s biggest U.S. home and has been running at full capacity.
GM’s Silao plant in Mexico also builds the 1500. Orion Assembly, north of Detroit, is being retooled to begin building next-generation light-duty pickups in early 2027.
Production can shift between plants as demand changes. That means two Silverados on the same lot may come from different factories.

Heavy Duty
Where Are Chevy 2500 HD Trucks Made?
Flint Assembly in Michigan builds both the Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD, and Oshawa Assembly in Ontario also produces heavy-duty models.
Flint is one of GM’s longest-running truck plants. Strong demand for heavy-duty equipment has kept it operating at or near maximum capacity.
Oshawa is concentrating on heavy-duty Silverados now that its light-duty run has wrapped up with the 2026 model year. The plant recently celebrated its 500,000th Silverado built since 2021, a Silverado HD with the Z71 off-road package.
Both plants build trucks engineered for serious work, including the available 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission.
American-Made
How American-Made Are Chevy Trucks?
Where a truck is assembled and where its parts come from are two different measures. The window sticker shows both, which helps shoppers comparing American-made trucks see the full picture.
Shoppers searching “Where is the Chevrolet Silverado built?” often find conflicting answers, partly because production assignments change over time.
Rankings of the most American-made truck vary by source, method, and model year. If you specifically want trucks made in the USA, the simplest check is the sticker on the exact truck you’re considering.
