Does the 2019 Chevy Silverado have blind-spot monitoring?

Understanding blind-spot monitoring on the Silverado
How Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert works
Blind-spot monitoring for the Silverado is typically labeled Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA). The system uses radar sensors in the rear corners to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. When a vehicle enters your blind spot and you signal a lane change, the system prompts a warning—usually via a visual indicator in the side mirror and a caution chime or alert on some models. On the 2019 Silverado, SBZA was not standard equipment; it was offered as part of specific option packages.
Availability by trim and package
To determine whether a particular Silverado includes blind-spot monitoring, you look for Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and the corresponding safety/driver-assistance package. The feature was available on mid- to high-level trims when certain packages were selected, rather than on the base models.
Here are the trims and packages where SBZA could be found on the 2019 Silverado:
- LT: Available with the Safety Package or Driver Assistance options; not standard on base trims.
- LTZ: Typically included when selecting the Safety/Driver Assistance packages; availability varied by production date and market.
- High Country: Could be added via the optional safety/driver-assistance bundles, similar to LTZ.
In short, if you want blind-spot monitoring on a 2019 Silverado, choose an LT or higher and add the Safety Package or Driver Assistance package that includes Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. Always verify with the dealer or by checking the vehicle’s build sheet to confirm.
How to verify on a used Silverado
When shopping for a used model, confirm SBZA is equipped by inspecting the window sticker (Monroney) for Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and any Safety or Driver Assistance package listings. You can also request the build sheet or VIN-based option codes from the seller. If SBZA is not listed, the vehicle likely does not have the feature.
Summary
The 2019 Chevy Silverado can be equipped with blind-spot monitoring, but it is not standard on base models. It is typically available as Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert through safety/driver-assistance packages on LT, LTZ, and High Country trims. When buying used, always verify the feature on the window sticker or build sheet before purchase.
