Some GM Authority readers have been told by dealers that supplier constraints are causing GM to halt or drastically reduce production of the 2023 Chevy Colorado 4WD during May 2023.
Parts supply is constraining 2023 Chevy Colorado 4WD production, but not to the extent of a complete or nearly complete halt.
Here are some comments and questions from readers on the 2023 Chevy Colorado situation:
“Truck manager from my dealer says GM is not able to produce 4×4 Colorados at this time due to supply issue. Is this true?” – Brian
“I’m hearing that there is a 2023 Colorado / Canyon constraint and they won’t be able to build 90 percent of 4WD trucks.” –Â John
In fact, 2023 Chevy Colorado units equipped with 4WD will be at 90 percent constraint during the month of May. This does not mean that production of Colorado trucks will be reduced by 90 percent. Instead, it indicates production will be 10 percent lower than the number of vehicles GM originally planned on building and allocating to dealers for the month.
Production of 2023 Chevy Colorado trucks with 4WD during May 2023 will still amount to 90 percent of the original number. The situation is expected to return to normal in June, but that could change based on parts supply.
Production of the 2023 Chevy Colorado and 2023 GMC Canyon is underway but deliveries do not occur instantly, likely fueling rumors of failing production. GM is often slow to provide accurate delivery information, adding to the uncertainty.
However, following the start of regular production (SORP) in January 2023, more and more orders for 2023 Chevy Colorado trucks will be fulfilled in the near future. In other Colorado-related news, Chevy will officialy debut the rugged Colorado ZR2 Bison on May 31st, 2023.
The 2023 Chevy Colorado introduced an all-new third generation of the pickup nameplate, featuring new exterior styling, a new powertrain, and fresh interior design.
Several different special editions of the truck are available. The 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Desert Boss Special Edition adds a whole lineup of technology and equipment turning it into an off-road champion, alongside lots of unique style. The Trail Boss also offers enhanced off-roading and its own distinctive aesthetic. GM Authority also brings you a walkaround of the WT trim, the base-level trim level of the Colorado.
As a reminder, the 2023 Chevy Colorado is motivated by one of two powertrains – the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L2R gasoline engine as well as the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B engine in Turbo Plus and Turbo High Output configurations. The powerplants are paired with a new-generation eight-speed automatic transmission, offering improved performance compared to the outgoing GM eight-speed automatic, though with some issues still to be overcome.
Under the body panels, the 2023 Chevy Colorado rides on an updated version of the GM 31XX platform, while production takes place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

“Production of the 2023 Chevy Colorado and 2023 GMC Canyon is underway but deliveries do not occur instantly,” I wonder if waiting 4 months for shipment after the truck is built qualifies for their “instantly” delivery classification? It’s bad enough that they are withholding important information from their customers, now they talk to us like we are fools.
GM. Do better!
The new Ranger came out today ! Worth a look
And with engine choices!!:)
WHY ARE 2023 COLORADOS IN TRANSIT DAY AFTER DAY WEEK AFTER WEEK MONTH AFTER MONTH, THEIR BUILT WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY
Because something is up and GM won’t be transparent with their customers about what the issue is. Can’t blame the dealership or the salesman. GM owns this cluster. If I don’t receive my 3 month old truck soon, I’ll go somewhere else. Absolutely ridiculous.
Ordered a GMC Canyon AT4 four months ago, the only info I get is , oder submitted not accepted. When will my truck be delivered?
Ordered my Trail Boss in February built on 3-17 great 2 weeks from order. So why is it that as of today 5-10 I’m still waiting??? I see Colorados being posted on a few FB site’s thousands of miles from the plant and my dealership and I are only 3 hours away! Just notify me GM of what’s going on other than delayed. I’m a grown man I can take it. Thanks for letting me vent.
GM better wake up soon. Agreed, at least grow a set and let the people know what the hold up is. Mary, for the $$$ you make, you sure have no clue about good customer service.
She has her woke head up her …….! All the think about is EVs.
Truck was pushed back how many years and u have part constraints. People should be losing their job.
Mary needs to be first to go.
General Motors dropped the ball on this launch! Worst in history not sure lol but bad! Here it is May many of other 24s on the lots and no 23 colorados wtf should’ve skipped the 23 just like 83 Corvette and just made them 24s lol
Yes like my Freinds when working in Rail Road Repair of Freight cars End of car Cushing units a Bike cable too bleed Nitrogen and oil out a Key Stone Gear in a Draft Sill. With Y 47 Pin too drop unless top loader F 15 with Y 47 Pin top and 2 side steel plate s too put in. That is Flat Car Auto Rack. Or Friction Gear in Tubs with Side plates into Draft Sill. Or Key Slot yokes. They break have air arc or OXY ACETYLENE or chactain form with Acetylene with Propane with heat oxygen does cutting. Blah yadadda. His 1990 Chevy 1 Ton did great extended cab had over or around 6000 lbs of think Roof Shingles .Like my Standard Cab 1990 Ford 3/4 Ton 4X4. His Chevy was also. Mine had 112 115 lb Block and a 400 Stihl Chop saw a old Metal Clutch O56 Stihl Chain saw with 48″ inch think bar at time could take a 72″ inch bar think was 36 or 38 between 112 too 115 lb landscaping blocks plus 3 wood Pallets and Steel old Axle bars dropped off the power equipment after 10 miles . Then thee other 4000lb s plus went up hill drop off. Point is all these Trucks all show no haul and pull. Except thee Allison Chevy 1 Series Auto Transmission. Commercial trucks say other Allison’s used in industrial trucks that Ford as used . Chevy Ford Dodge formally Chrysler all have built excellent trucks all had issues. Over years. Now Electric and Hydrogen Power osmosis hopefully fuels like flue Scrubbers for coal plants and filtration systems expensive too maintain. But look at some if not all wind water Tornados Hurricanes ECT . Have caused last 30 or more years . Change always inevitable. As Now. .
Before I agreed on buying my new 2023 Chevy Colorado 2.7 Turbo Plus on April 3, 2023, they told me this truck was already built and ready to ship out of Detroit MI., and that I’ll have a two weeks wait for its shipping. Two weeks, but it now two months. I don’t blame the Dealerships, but it’s starting to smell fishy, really fishy.
