2007 Chevrolet Silverado crash-test ratings
Each cab NHTSA listed earned matching stars wherever it was rated, and rollover was the only result that fell below the frontal and side marks.
The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was rated under NHTSA's program before model year 2011, which gave no overall score: 5 stars for the driver, 5 for the front passenger in the frontal test, 5 for the driver in the side test, 4 for rollover resistance.
What the cab changes is stability control, not the stars each cab earned. NHTSA lists it as standard on the 4-DR. truck, optional on the extended cab and not offered on the regular cab.
Inspecting a used 2007 Silverado
The ratings describe the Silverado as it left the factory. A car that has been in a serious crash, rebuilt, or had its airbags replaced is no longer the car NHTSA tested.
On an extended cab, where stability control was optional, look on the dash for its indicator and for an off switch. On a 4-DR. truck it was standard, so an indicator that never lights at key-on needs explaining.
Every rated truck was a version with side airbags, so look for the airbag labels on the seat sides or roof rail and make sure the airbag lamp clears after start-up.
Rollover was the lowest mark, so check the roof: pillars and roof panel in line, a headliner that fits tight and a windshield seal that looks original. Then make sure the tyres match, carry the right load rating and wear evenly.
What NHTSA did — and did not — test
A star rating is only as complete as the tests behind it. This is which of NHTSA's four crash tests the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado actually went through.
No. NHTSA published no result for the side pole test on this version. "Not rated" means the test was not run or not published — not that the vehicle failed it.

Every rated version of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado
NHTSA rates body styles and drivetrains separately, and the results are not always the same. Match the version to the car you are looking at.
| Version | Overall | Frontal | Side | Rollover | Rollover risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4-DR. w/SAB | — | 5 | 5 | 4 | 18.5% |
| 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab w/SAB | — | 5 | 5 | 4 | 18.5% |
| 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab w/SAB | — | 5 | 5 | 4 | 18.5% |
Recalls, complaints and investigations
NHTSA keeps these alongside the crash-test results for the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4-DR. w/SAB. They answer a different question: not how the vehicle was built to perform in a crash, but what owners and the agency have reported since.
A recall campaign covers a range of vehicles; whether the repair was done on a particular car is a per-VIN question. Check open recalls by VIN.
Why these stars come from different tests than a newer model's
NHTSA announced new NCAP crash tests and rating criteria in July 2008, including a new overall rating that combines the frontal, side and rollover results. It then postponed the change by a year: the new criteria apply to vehicles tested beginning with model year 2011, not 2010 as first announced.
In NHTSA's own words, its rollover resistance ratings “estimate the risk of rollover if a vehicle is involved in a single-vehicle crash.”
One limit applies to every vehicle here. NHTSA notes that the frontal crash rating “depends on vehicle mass, and cannot be compared across vehicle weight classes” — a full-size truck's frontal stars and a compact car's are not the same measure.
- Federal Register, 73 FR 79206 (Dec. 24, 2008) — new NCAP criteria begin with model year 2011
- Federal Register, 73 FR 40016 (July 11, 2008) — NCAP testing and rating changes, including the overall rating
- Federal Register, 68 FR 59250 (Oct. 14, 2003) — NCAP rollover resistance ratings

2007 Chevrolet Silverado Safety FAQ
What NHTSA’s record shows for this model year, and what it cannot tell you about one car.
What is the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado safety rating?+
The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was rated under NHTSA's program before model year 2011, which gave no overall score: 5 stars for the driver, 5 for the front passenger in the frontal test, 5 for the driver in the side test, 4 for rollover resistance. These are results for the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4-DR. w/SAB, from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program.
Did NHTSA test every part of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado?+
No. NHTSA published no result for the side pole test on this version. "Not rated" means the test was not run or not published — not that the vehicle failed it.
Does the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado have recalls or complaints on file?+
NHTSA's record for this version lists 6 recall campaigns, 1032 owner complaints and 3 investigations. Whether a recall was fixed on a particular car is answered by its VIN, not the model year.
Can I compare the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado's stars with a newer model?+
Not like for like. NHTSA changed its crash tests and rating criteria starting with model year 2011 and added an overall score, so a star from before then was earned under different tests. Compare it with vehicles rated under the same program.
Does a good safety rating mean a used Silverado is safe to buy?+
A rating describes the vehicle as it left the factory. A used Silverado that has been in a serious crash, rebuilt from salvage, or had an airbag replaced is no longer the vehicle NHTSA tested. A VIN check reads its title brands, salvage and accident records from NMVTIS.
Five stars at the factory. What about since?
A crash rating can’t see a salvage title, a rebuilt frame or a replaced airbag. The VIN record can.
