GM Moving Some Silverado Production From Mexico To Flint, MI

Colossus · June 10, 2016

Thank god for Silverado(the truck) and the American consumer.

Toyota was killing it these last years being made in America. Chevy/Gm finally recognizes.

Now Silverado might have a chance staying on top in the US truck market.

GM has been on top for quite a long time when you combine GMC + Chevy. GM is just being polite though.

I thought they were making some trucks in Flint, or is it just a particular model that they are moving to Flint?

Other than parts warehouses, There is one plant left in Flint, on the corner of I-75 & I-69 GM has 2.5 miles of parking lot they can use off I-475 to build a new plant, or even if they wanted to put another plant by Kettering University (used to be called "Down in the hole")... Of course I think that those properties are now owned by the City of Flint.

I believe they'll only be doing crew cab 1500s for now. That's where the demand is and Mexico is not able to keep up.

I bought my new 16 silverado 2 weeks ago, made sure it wasn't made in Mexico. Proudly made in Ft. Wayne, U.S.A.

After our plant was closed in '09, most folks that I knew made sure they were buying 1500 extended cabs built in the US rather than the Mexican built crew cabs.
