Same goes for the new GMC Sierra.
Two of General Motors' most profitable models are facing yet another delay. The refreshed 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and its slightly more premium corporate cousin, the GMC Sierra 1500, will reportedly not debut as planned. They were supposedly set to arrive for the 2021 model year but unspecified delays pushed the date back.
According to GM Authority, the semiconductor chip shortage crisis is forcing GM to delay those launches yet again. The outlet doesn't cite a specific source acknowledging the latest delay, but it does make sense given the current situation the entire auto industry is finding itself in because of a lack of chips. Silverado and Sierra production has already been suspended at least once and lasted for several days at the Flint Assembly plant in Michigan and Indiana's Fort Wayne Assembly plant.
