When was the last Chevy Cheyenne made?
The last Chevy Cheyenne in the United States was produced for the 1987 model year. The Cheyenne name, used as a high-trim package on Chevrolet’s pickups, faded from U.S. production as GM shifted branding toward the Silverado in later years. In other regions, the Cheyenne designation did linger on some trucks into the 1990s, but it did not continue as a staple of the U.S. lineup.
Background: what the Cheyenne trim represented
The Cheyenne designation first appeared in the 1970s as a premium trim level for Chevrolet’s C/K series pickups. Over the years, it was paired with variants like the Cheyenne Super, offering upgraded interiors, exterior styling cues, and additional features that set it apart from standard models. The exact equipment and appearance signs depended on model year and market.
Regional variations and branding shifts
While the U.S. market largely dropped the Cheyenne label after the late 1980s as GM reorganized its truck lineup around the Silverado name, some export markets continued to use the Cheyenne branding on certain pickups into the 1990s. These regional deployments reflected market-specific branding rather than a single, global end date for the Cheyenne name.
