Now while all of the power and amenities are very desirable in a car, all of these fancy features would mean nothing without a confident safety record. Luckily, both the Sierra and Tundra have been tirelessly engineered to stand up to a variety of worst-case scenarios designed to keep you and your passengers out of harm’s way.
Sierra
The 2019 GMC Sierra prioritizes safety above all else. By combining current technology with GMC’s decades of experience with automotive safety, the Sierra provides cutting-edge solutions to many common car issues and accidents.
Outfitted with sensors around the entire vehicle, the Sierra is able to use this information to communicate with the onboard computer and assist the driver when necessary. Examples of this include an available high-definition rear vision camera, IntelliBeam headlamps, which automatically adjust in response to oncoming traffic, available forward collision alerts, which notifies the driver of oncoming objects, and available lane keep assist, which will alert the driver if the car begins to veer out of its lane, just to name a few.
The Sierra also offers a teen driver program in the onboard computer, which allows you to monitor your rookie driver’s behavior and progress. Lastly, this GMC vehicle comes available with the OnStar safety and security plan. This robust feature offers features such as automatic crash response, emergency services, roadside assistance and stolen vehicle assistance.
Tundra
The Toyota Tundra also includes a variety of external sensors designed to collect information and help the driver if necessary. The baseline model includes a blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, which detects vehicles in your blind spot and illuminates a light on your rearview mirror if it notices the driver beginning to switch lanes.
The unique safety feature of the Toyota Tundra is the standard Star Safety System. This is a suite of six advanced safety features that includes vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brake system, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and start stop technology., All of these advanced features work together to provide a ride that is as predictable and safe as possible.
Lastly, any buyer of a new Toyota can rest assured that their vehicle will be properly looked after through the ToyotaCare program. This no-cost maintenance plan covers every new Tundra for 2 years or 25,000 miles.
