According to the Kogod 2024 Made in America Auto Index, the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickups are GM’s most American-made vehicles, tied for seventh place on the list. However, despite their high percentage of domestic content, their prices could go up if Canada and Mexico import tariffs come to pass.
According to GM, 51 percent of the Chevy Colorado’s part content is sourced from the U.S. and Canada combined, while 19 percent of its parts come from Mexico. The GMC Canyon’s numbers are slightly different, as 49 percent of its parts are from the U.S. and Canada, while 25 percent of its parts are Mexican-sourced.
| U.S./Canada | Mexico | South Korea | China | Final Assembly | Engine | Transmission/Drive Unit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Chevy Colorado | 51 | 19 | - | - | USA | USA | USA |
| 2025 GMC Canyon | 49 | 25 | - | - | USA | USA | USA |
The Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon get high scores on the Made in America index because their final assembly takes place at the Wentzville plant in Missouri, their turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B engines are built in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and their 8-speed automatic transmissions are made in Toledo, Ohio.
Trump’s threatened 25-percent tariffs on all goods coming to the U.S. from Canada and Mexico are on hold at least until March 1st, following negotiations with Prime Minister Trudeau and President Sheinbaum regarding border security. Although those tariffs are on hold, Trump has implemented 25-percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the States, effective March 4th.
Just this week, GM CEO Mary Barra and CFO Paul Jacobson spoke at a conference about The General’s ability to mitigate up to half of potential import tariffs. GM’s solutions are fairly simple: utilize existing U.S. manufacturing capacity to build more USDM cars in the U.S. and source more made-in-the-USA parts. This would likely involve shifting more full-size truck production, which occurs in all three North American countries, into the U.S.

In 2008 I bought a 2007 Grand Prix Base with 31k miles and sold it in 2015 with 105k trouble free miles. It had US/Canadian content of 90%. Since it was such a good car, I bought a 2014 Impala Limited in March of 2015 with 11k miles. So far it’s at 87k trouble free miles, though the US/Canadian content was down to 70%. I have no problems that both vehicles were assembled in Oshawa, my problem is I want US/Canadian content at near 100%. I want to get those 40% of Americans off of welfare and support them. Not to pay taxes and inflation so they can sit at home and watch TV, drink, and breed. And not line GM’s pockets with foreign sources parts to be screwed together by a upper middle class high school graduate.
51% US/Canadian content in the GM midsized pickups is ridiculous!
Joe G, What do you care. You’re too cheap to buy anything new anyway. maybe you should get a better job.
I work as a banker and our building backs up to the parking lot of a section 8/govt housing/low income apartment complex in the VERY red state of ND. Most of these folks are making THOUSANDS of dollars a month off the government. Either in rental assistance, public assistance programs, food stamps/EBT Cards that they use for garbage food and snacks. Not to mention more money per kid they have or support. These people roll up in newer or new cars, always have nails done hair did and guys have expensive jewelry and expensive sneaker’s and expensive haircuts. It’s been eye opening to see the amount of money we waste on people. And up here, most of these people are white, able bodied and could be working but why would they when they are making more living off the government?
I don’t recall any manufacturer reducing prices when they send assembly to some of these 3rd world countries (excl Canada)
Smart idea moving more production to the U.S. I remember when all cars and trucks were built here. My first car was a ‘57 Chevy 2 door. Over 200k miles later (with some re-building and re-furnishing along the way), I’m still driving it. If given a choice of paying a little more for a vehicle made here or paying more for a vehicle because of tariffs, I’ll choose made in the U.S. every time.
Henry Ford and William Durant set up shops in Canada long before Trump was around. Those two industrialist new the value of Canada US manufacturing, unlike Trump and his types. Sorry you can’t change history to suit the current president.
G M will price them self out business.
With no tariffs all 3 manufacturers are pricing themselves out of business. Their vehicles are all overpriced.
Another “Fear Mongering” tactic. It might have worked in 2016. Not anymore. People woke up and more are waking up!
Stop your whining.
If you can’t afford it don’t buy one.
Or get a better paying job.
Fat old stinky delusional diaper wear orange felon with zero brain is going to alienate usa. Can’t build anything without material and power. Good luck
