Safety has become an increasingly important aspect of every automobile throughout the industry. As technology advances, so too does the demand for more and better safety features. The 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 continues to set benchmarks within the full-size, light-duty pickup truck segment for things such as power and performance, but also in safety as the automaker continues to improve the features and tech it has to offer. If you want to make sure you and your passengers are safe without compromising performance or capabilities, you should definitely consider a Silverado of your own. Today we’re going to dive into what’s standard, what’s optional and what’s worth paying extra for, so keep reading to learn all about the safety features you can find in the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500.
Standard Safety Features
The 2025 Silverado is absolutely packed full of great safety features and technologies, and many of the most important ones come standard out the gate — including Chevy Safety Assist. Chevy Safety Assist is a suite of six must-have driver-assistance technologies that deliver peace of mind and help keep not only your own vehicle safe but those around you as well. The suite includes:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- IntelliBeam
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Each of these technologies work in concert to create a safer environment each time you hit the road, but they aren’t the only standard safety features found in the Chevy Silverado. Additional technologies include:
- Buckle to Drive
- Four-wheel antilock disc brakes
- OnStar Safety & Security
- Rear Seat Reminder
- Rear Vision Camera
- StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System and Traction Control
- Teen Driver
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Available Safety Features
While the standard safety features found in the Silverado are a great baseline, there is still plenty you can add to enhance safety even further. Most of these available features include:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front and Rear Park Assist
- HD Surround Vision
- Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking
- Rear Pedestrian Alert
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert
In addition to these, there’s one more available feature that we want to shine a particular light on because of just how incredible and useful it is. We’re talking about Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving, a fantastic feature found in a handful of General Motors vehicles that is one of the most advanced autonomous driving systems in the industry — it even won the 2025 MotorTrend Best Hands-Free Driving Tech award!
Only available on the High Country trim level, Super Cruise connected by OnStar allows truly hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles of compatible highways throughout North America. The technology combines real-time mapping with adaptive cruise control and driver attention monitoring to reduce fatigue and make long distance driving far more manageable.
So, what’s worth paying for?
Now that you know more about the different safety features that the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 has to offer, it’s time to decide which ones are worth paying for in your unique situation. Each available feature has something great to offer, so we can’t speak for every individual on what would be worth it. If you’re not going to be using your pickup truck to trailer all that often, perhaps Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert wouldn’t be worth it for you.
Likewise, as absolutely astounding and helpful as Super Cruise is, if you rarely ever get on the highway it would hardly be worth the extra cost. But the other technologies should be useful and worth it to just about any type of driver for the added peace of mind and accident mitigation.
