General Motors has announced plans to increase light duty pickup manufacturing in the United States.

The automaker is adding a new production line to its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan that will crank out Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks starting in 2027.

The move will allow it to better fulfill demand for the popular models while avoiding any new tariffs on imported vehicles.

But where do it and the other full-size truck makers currently assemble their internal combustion engine-powered half-ton trucks for the American market?

GENERAL MOTORS — CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND GMC SIERRA 1500

GM is the only company that manufactures its half-ton models across North America. Most Silverado 1500s and GMC Sierra 1500s are manufactured at the Fort Wayne Assembly plant in Indiana, which can build around 300,000 trucks annually. It also assembles some crew cab Silverado 1500s at its Oshawa Assembly plant in Canada and both crew cab and regular cab versions of the Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 at its Silao Assembly plant in Mexico.

FORD F-150

Ford builds all of its F-150s in the U.S. at the Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan and the Kansas City Assembly plant in Missouri, both of which are capable of producing more than 300,000 trucks annually.

RAM 1500

Every Ram 1500 sold today is built at the Sterling Heights Assembly plant in Michigan, which has an annual capacity of approximately 500,000 trucks.

TOYOTA TUNDRA

The fourth best-selling Toyota Tundra is exclusively assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing
Texas in San Antonio, where the Sequoia SUV is also manufactured.
