As is often the case with heavy-duty trucks, the Silverado 2500HD has not been rated for crash-test safety by either the NHTSA or the IIHS.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
The standard safety offering is not overly comprehensive, but it comes with the basics like stability and traction control, ABS, and six airbags: dual front, front side, and side curtain. Advanced safety features comprise a rearview camera with Hitch Guidance, and a teen driver system. The upper trims gain access to blind-spot monitoring, lane change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision avoidance tech, and front and rear parking sensors.

J.D. Power has rated the Silverado 2500HD 86 out of 100 overall, as well as 86/100 for quality and reliability for the 2021 model year. There was no 2022 rating yet at the time of writing. Nevertheless, three recalls were issued for the 2021 model for the wrong bolts used to secure the seat belts, possibly badly secured seat-belt brackets, and an incorrect size spare tire that can flummox the ABS if fitted at the rear. So far, the 2022 model has been recalled once - for a potential short circuit in a brake-pressure modulator valve. The truck is covered by Chevrolet's standard warranties, which include a 36,000-mile/36-month limited warranty, while the powertrain and roadside assistance are covered for 60,000 miles/60 months.
