Workers in Fort Wayne will produce the regular and double-cab versions. GM has invested about $3 billion to retool Fort Wayne, Silao and a third assembly plant in Flint, where is makes the larger 2500 version of Silverado and Sierra."
This article states that soon there will be only three plants for the new '19s... http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/08/...n-infographic/
Oshawa is still configuring '18s....Until they go to all '19s without Oshawa...Hopefully more detailed info on exactly what and where will be available soon after the dust settles with the end of the '18s...
Not sure what the difference is between a double-cab and a Crew cab....To me it's a little confusing, and probably difficult by design to ascertain where each truck is made....Anyway, a 1 as the first number of the VIN is a US made truck...3 will be a Mexican build.
Good luck. |
Yeah, that's where I got my info from as well.
Double cabs have the short rear doors, still 4, but not as long as the crewcabs. So it stands to be then, that if you want a crewcab 1500, it's Mexican assembled.
