GMC Sierra vs. Chevy Silverado: Safety Features

When choosing between the Silverado or Sierra, it’s important to look at the standard and available safety features. Luckily, both models have a lot to offer when it comes to protection and driver assistance, so you can rest easy knowing you’ll be safe on the Winterhaven roads no matter what. The Sierra and Silverado both come standard-equipped with technology like forward collision mitigation, advanced rear vision cameras, lane change and rear cross-traffic alert, and six airbags. However, the Sierra also comes with two extra systems that the Silverado does not feature:

• LED Daytime Running Lamps: These daytime lights make it easier for drivers and pedestrians to see you no matter the weather, even if it’s a bright and sunny day.
• Teen Driver Tech: If you have a new driver in the family, the Sierra is here to help. The Teen Driver Tech system can limit certain features, such as speaker volume. It also monitors your teen’s driving habits and provides you with an in-vehicle report card, so you can give constructive feedback to your teen driver.
