Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

Tested vehicle: 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab 2wd
Rating applies to 2019-26 models

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab were redesigned for the 2019 model year.
