General Motors has found winners with the 2016 GMC Canyon and 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, and that’s clear from recent production news involving the trucks. Recently, GM added a third shift at the Wentzville, Missouri plant in an attempt to keep up with high demand.
The Detroit News reports GM may be looking to free up even more capacity to meet the demand of its midsize trucks by moving cutaway van production out of Wentzville, and contracting it out.
According to the report, GM may tap AM General to take control of its cutaway van production, which includes the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express. The move could happen as early as late next year.
“We have nothing to announce with regard to production changes at GM Wentzille Assembly,” GM spokesman Bill Grotz said.
AM General is based in South Bend Indiana, but operates in Ohio and Virginia, too. Recently, Mercedes-Benz became the latest customer of AM General, where the automaker agreed to contract out R-Class production.

Great news that they have a happy problem of not enough capacity to keep up with demand.
Good solution to sublet the work.
They still haven’t told the public what their future plans are for full sized passenger vans and I think we deserve to know.
