I think its a combination of factors, minimize choices to speed production and thereby increase the HDs ability to bankroll the GM EV failures and supply chain is still wonky. Truth is it was getting wonky for many years before 2020.

Just look at the colour choices from the '86 & '87 model years of the square body to the GMT400. We had a state of the art paint shop (6 or 8 lines) (after the changeover) & I'm sure the paint choices dropped in half. In the latter years of C/K production, trucks were scheduled so they were painted in batches. There was a paint shop each for the cabs and boxes. I'm not sure why, I never thought to ask my father the reasoning.

The worse thing is when a new eye catching colour is intro'd, everyone gets it.

Why does silver and/or maroon HAVE to be choices?

Post whoring here.

I really liked the 2024 Auburn Metallic color but could not find one when I was looking. I thought it was a very classy color. Guess I was very wrong as it was discontinued mid year. Bought a Lakeshore Blue and became happy as there really are not many (any?) in my neck of the woods. I’m just not bubba enough I guess.

Maybe 2027????

I spotted the new metallic blue in MO on a 2016 trip. Ordered my 2017 w/ it. Over the next year or 2, everyone & their uncle had a blue truck....
