Where are Chevrolet 1500 trucks built?

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickups are built at two GM North American plants: Fort Wayne Assembly in Indiana, USA, and Silao Assembly in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico.


These plants supply Silverado 1500 production for the United States, Canada, and other North American markets, with manufacturing schedules that adapt to model-year updates, demand, and supply logistics across the region.


Factory locations and primary roles


The following are the main production sites for the Silverado 1500 within General Motors’ North American network.



  • Fort Wayne Assembly — Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States (a key site for Silverado 1500 production for the U.S. market).
