2021 Chevy Silverado Safety Ratings
Explore with Added Confidence
The 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is armed with six airbags around your interior to help you stay protected in the event of a collision.
However, the goal is always to stay out of harm’s way, so this truck is available with the following advanced safety systems:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front and Rear Park Assist
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
These systems are designed to detect potential collisions and nearby obstacles, helping you make the necessary corrections to stay protected wherever the road takes you. The Chevy Silverado 1500 also has an available Side Blind Zone Alert feature on the mirrors that’ll light up if there is a vehicle in one of your blind spots.
In addition to the available Adaptive Cruise Control system, you can consistently keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you with the optional Following Distance Indicator, as it displays the following distance in seconds.
Every so often, your tires can lose air for a variety of reasons, so you’ll need to refill them when the vehicle alerts you. The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System can monitor each tire and show you which one is low.
The big advantage to this system is that it comes with Tire Fill Alert, which will activate your turn signals or horn when your tires are filled to the correct PSI. This means you won’t have to use a tire pressure gauge to determine how much air you’ll have to put in.
You can even keep up with the air pressure in your trailer’s tires with the available Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature Sensors. At any time, you can view the tire pressure of up to six tires and measure the temperature inside your trailer.
Monitor Your Surroundings with Ease
One of the most unique safety aspects of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the bevy of cameras it provides to help you monitor your truck and surroundings with ease.

Additional Available Safety Features
Though the Chevy Silverado 1500 is known for its power and towing capabilities, it was built with safety as a primary focus. In addition to its many safety technologies that can help avoid danger, there are other features that help you do this as well as call for help and even keep new, teenage drivers protected.
- Available Safety Alert Seat: Using vibrations in the driver’s seat, it can tell you which direction a potential crash could be coming from so you have a better idea of how to avoid it. If you don’t want to utilize vibrations, you can switch to beeping crash avoidance alerts, which will still come from the seat.
- Standard Teen Driver: If you have a teenager who is learning how to drive, the Chevy Silverado 1500 will take extra measures to make sure they’re safe at all times. This feature can limit certain aspects of the truck and automatically turn on specific safety functions and keep them on when your teenager hits the road. The Silverado also can provide a report card of sorts, which shows driving statistics and habits and will help teach your new driver better driving habits.
- Available OnStar® Safety & Security: In the event you’re involved in an accident or your vehicle breaks down, by pressing the OnStar® button that’s above your rear-view mirror, you’ll connect with a 24/7 response center agent who can dispatch necessary help to your location. If your vehicle is stolen, you can use the myChevrolet mobile app to contact an agent, who will work with local law enforcement to find it.
