The impressive increase is primarily due to low sales volumes in 2019, during which time the Medium Duty model was undergoing launch. As a result, sales volumes were naturally low due to sub-optimal availability.
7,419 units is also less than half the number of Silverado MD models taking up space on dealer lots. Unlike other Chevrolet models such as the Chevy Trailblazer crossover, of which GM can hardly build enough, the Silverado MD does not have a problem of demand exceeding supply.
The Silverado MD was introduced in late 2018 for the 2019 model year, and is available in 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD forms. Customers have a choice of Regular or Crew cabs both featuring dual rear wheels, and either the Work Truck (1WT) or LT (1LT) trim levels. All models come in the chassis cab configuration (without a bed).
Around 4,000 examples of 2019 and 2020 Chevy Silverado MD are sitting unsold on dealer lots, suggesting that the truck has a supply-over-demand problem.
