Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want more room to negotiate. The steepest drops are concentrated in the newer and more expensive years, while a few older years are falling more gradually.

Is the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD safe?

• 2021: 8/10

The Silverado comes standard with a backup camera and a full array of front- and side-impact airbags. For safety features such as forward collision avoidance, lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert, you’ll have to pay extra. You’ll also have to shell out for the front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree parking camera system—two options that are particularly helpful, given the Silverado 3500HD’s sheer size.

For the safest used buy, the 2021 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.
