You may have already known that this spring will mark the official launch of GM’s new full-sized pickup trucks. But if you want specifics, we’ve got ’em. And according to close dealership sources, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck is scheduled to begin full-scale production on April 29, 2013, and first deliveries will begin in late May. Specifically, that date pertains only to large crew cab models.
As the 2014 Silverado launch picks up speed, the extended cab version will begin assembly on July 15, 2013. Afterwards, the regular cab will begin rolling off the line by August 12, 2013 — months after the initial production date of the crew cab. We assume that the 2014 GMC Sierra will follow the same schedule, seeing as its a twin to the Silverado. Additionally, the Heavy Duty models will carry over from the 2013 model year, as will the full-sized SUV models.
As of this writing, we are just a month and a half from the launch of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and we still have no idea what sort of horsepower or fuel economy numbers to expect. This is somewhat troubling, because if the new trucks were all that and a bag of chips under their boxy bodies with their new Vortec EcoTec3 engines, GM would probably brag about them a lot sooner. Though we will stay hopeful.
Sales decreased 5.6 percent to 16,670 units during the first ten months of 2024.
Specifically critical minerals supply chain development.
Scheduled for a Spring 2025 launch.
Horsepower and grip take the win.

No more Avalanche/Escalade twins, but still this repulsive, overstyled, overpriced Sierra? GM seemingly has less than no idea how to foster brand loyalty or how to keep it. Whatever happened to building something for everybody as opposed to building so everybody ends up driving the same thing? The suits at GM are so hopelessly conformist in how they think that they think everyone else is just like them.
