What’s old is becoming new at General Motors.
On the heels of the return of the Blazer as a crossover SUV and Hummer as an electric pickup, General Motors has filed for trademark protection of the name Cheyenne, MuscleCarsAndTrucks.com reports.

GM designated its use for “motor land vehicles, namely, trucks,” which could cover a standalone model or trim level for an existing truck, and there are several possibilities on the horizon.
The first and most compelling would be its use on Chevrolet’s upcoming electric Silverado, which has been confirmed without many details, aside from offering a driving range of over 400 miles per charge.
ELECTRIC ‘CHEVROLET CAMARO’ WILL HAVE A TWIST
Chevrolet could also do a little downsizing. Ford is expected to resurrect the Maverick name on a compact pickup smaller than the Ranger this summer, while Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) last year filed a trademark for Dakota, which was the name of Ram’s most recent midsized pickup. Chevrolet hasn’t mentioned any plans to launch a pickup smaller than the Colorado, but with the arrival of the Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz, a compact truck war could be imminent.
It could also end up being used as it previously was, as a Silverado trim level. There are currently eight available, so Chevy doesn’t seem to shy away from offering its customers as much variety as they can handle.
