The 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 is one of the strongest trucks in its class. In addition to its mighty power, the Sierra is incredibly safe. As your trusted Chevy dealer, we’re excited to help you explore Sierra’s top safety features.

Stability and Traction Control

If you ever get into tricky road situations when towing or hauling heavy loads, you’ll appreciate this vital standard safety feature. The Sierra stability control system activates when it detects that the truck is deviating from its intended path. A situation like this may arise when you’re maneuvering tricky turns or accelerating on wet or snowy roads.

When the system detects a mismatch between the direction the truck is traveling and the path you want it to follow, it will automatically adjust the brakes and engine power to help you maintain control of the truck and stay on your desired path. This system includes additional driver-aids, such as hill-start assist and trailer sway control.

Forward Collision Warning With Automatic Emergency Braking

Offered as a standard feature across the 2024 Sierra 1500 lineup, this system is intended to help you avoid front collisions. It monitors the road ahead to determine if you risk hitting the vehicles in front and alerts you to the danger. The system can apply automatic emergency brakes or assist your braking to help you avoid a frontal crash, or at least mitigate the severity of an unavoidable collision.

Lane Departure Warning With Lane Keep-Assist

The 2024 Sierra 1500 comes with a system designed to help you keep your lane for safe driving. This system constantly monitors the lane markings and will alert you when you unintentionally exit your lane. The system can make gentle steering corrections to help you stay centered in your lane.

Blind-Spot Monitoring

This available safety feature helps you avoid side collisions when changing lanes. It monitors adjacent lanes and will alert you if it detects another vehicle in your blind spot zone. That way, you can wait and change lanes only when it’s safe.

Hitch Guidance

You’ll find this available safety feature useful in towing operations as it helps you line up the hitch to the trailer. It achieves this by displaying a guideline on the rear vision camera when in reverse. When you’re driving forward, this system allows you to monitor your trailer from the rear vision camera.
