The first 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD<\/a> pickups are going to make their way out of the Flint Assembly Plant this week, where production began on Monday. The first units are headed to Strawberry Point, Iowa, and Sumner, Washington.<\/p>\n

“Members of UAW Local 598 put the finishing touches on the first truck, a red, regular cab Silverado HD,” General Motors said in a statement. “It is headed to Rodas Chevrolet in Strawberry Point, Iowa, a town that has a population of 1,400 and boasts the world\u2019s largest (artificial) strawberry.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a rural community out here. Ninety percent of buyers are pulling a trailer of some kind,\u201d said Dan Paris, co-owner and general manager of Rodas Chevrolet. \u201cWe have guys that are definitely watching this one coming. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to take very long\u201d to sell the first truck. \u201cWe kind of had some buyers in mind when we ordered them.”<\/p>\n

The second Silverado, a red crew cab, is making its way to Sunset Chevrolet in Sumner, Washington, which has a population of 8,500 and is a blue-collar and farming town.<\/p>\n
