Latest News About Gm Ends Silverado Hd Production

Here’s the latest on GM’s Silverado HD production situation.

Answer

• GM has announced the end of production for the Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD medium-duty trucks, effective as part of ending the manufacturing agreement with International (formerly Navistar). Production is scheduled to cease by September 30, 2026, at the Springfield, Ohio plant where those models are built. This marks GM’s exit from the medium-duty segment in North America for now.

Background and what’s changing

• The Silverado MD lineup (the medium-duty Silverado variants) were developed in partnership with International Trucks and were manufactured at International’s Ohio facility. With GM choosing not to renew that agreement, production of the Silverado MD is ending, and International is discontinuing its CV Series as well.[3][9][1]
• GM’s statement indicates they are evaluating future portfolio options for medium-duty beyond this discontinuation, but there has been no public indication of an immediate re-entry into that segment.[7]

What this means for buyers and the market

• If you’re in the market for a Silverado MD (4500HD/5500HD/6500HD) or related Express/Savana cutaway variants tied to this program, availability will wind down through September 2026 as current stock routes out and production ends. After September 30, 2026, GM will no longer produce these medium-duty trucks in partnership with International.[3][7]
• The discontinuation has broader implications for the medium-duty truck segment in North America, given the traditional role of these vehicles in commercial fleets and contractors.[9][3]

Illustrative note

• If you’re evaluating alternatives, consider whether you want a refreshed medium-duty platform from another manufacturer, or you might shift focus to other GM commercial offerings or alternative body configurations that aren’t part of the discontinued MD line.[7]
