What’s Staying: Platforms Built for the Near Term

Chevrolet is narrowing its focus to platforms aligned with long-term production and demand.

Continued production of Express 2500 and 3500 vans (gas)
Core pickup platforms remain available
Increased emphasis on 4WD configurations

What this means for you:
These platforms offer short-term stability—but fewer configuration options and uncertain long-term outlooks mean planning ahead is critical.

Chevy Express 2500 and 3500 gas vans will remain in production.

Chevy Silverado 1500–3500 pickups will remain in production.

4WD configuration will be primary for Silverado 2500HD/3500HD.
