2022 GMC Sierra 1500
large pickup / Crew cab pickup
Side: updated test
Rating applies to 2019-24 models
Tested vehicle: 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab 4wd
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab were redesigned for the 2019 model year. Two tests of the Silverado were conducted because the rear passenger data acquisition system failed during the first test. Driver dummy injuries, rear dummy restraints and kinematics and structural ratings are based on both tests. The rear dummy injury values are based only on the second test.

View of the vehicle just after the crash test.
View of the vehicle after the crash with doors removed, showing the side airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
Smeared greasepaint shows where the driver dummy's head was protected from being hit by hard structures by the side airbags.
Smeared greasepaint shows where the rear passenger dummy’s head was protected by the side airbag. The C-pillar trim became completely dislodged during the crash.
