2014 Silverado and Sierra score a Safety First for trucks

The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and High Country and the GMC Sierra and Sierra Denali 1500 are the first pickup trucks to receive the highest possible five-star overall vehicle score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment
Program for the 2011 model year.

NHTSA only tested the crew cab models of Silverado and Sierra. Chevrolet and GMC expect crew cab models to account for 60 percent of their 2014 light duty full-size pickup truck sales.

"Safety is as important to truck buyers as it is to car buyers," said Gay Kent, GM General Director of Vehicle Safety and Crashworthiness. "Silverado and Sierra set a benchmark for pickup truck safety by offering a full array of advanced features designed to protect occupants before, during and after a collision."
