Mark Allen Chevrolet - How Bixby, OK Drivers Tow Smarter With Silverado HD Camera Tech
When towing is part of your daily routine or weekend plans, visibility makes all the difference. The 2025 Silverado HD backs up big capability with big confidence thanks to up to 14 available camera views, including the impressively handy Transparent Trailer view that virtually lets you “see through” a compatible trailer. For drivers in Bixby, OK navigating neighborhood streets, jobsite entrances, or crowded fuel stations with a trailer in tow, this tech transforms stress into smooth, predictable maneuvers.
The Silverado HD also integrates its trailering technology with an available 13.4-inch diagonal Infotainment touch-screen and an In-Vehicle Trailering App so the features you need are right where you want them. Add the dependable Allison® 10-speed paired with either the 6.6L gas V8 or the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, and you’ve got the control and torque to complement all that situational awareness.
Below are the camera views and trailering aids most Bixby-area truck owners ask about, plus how they help in real-world driving.
- Transparent Trailer: Creates a “see-through” effect on compatible trailers, helping you monitor vehicles, cyclists, or obstacles behind the trailer while driving.
- Hitch View: Provides a close-up look at the receiver and ball for easier alignment, reducing time spent hitching solo.
- Bed View: Lets you monitor the cargo bed to assist with fifth-wheel or gooseneck connections and keep an eye on gear.
- Surround Views: Available HD Surround Vision stitches together multiple camera angles to assist with low-speed maneuvering in tight areas.
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Extends side blind zone coverage down the length of a compatible trailer for added awareness.
Pair these views with smart driver assistance and the 2025 Silverado HD feels as easy to place as a much smaller vehicle. Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering can help maintain set gaps on the highway even when you’re loaded, and the Safety Alert Seat provides pulsed warnings to guide your attention. For everyday comfort, the available 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center can be configured to show towing data alongside speed and navigation prompts, so you’re never hunting for essentials.
Owners who carry gear that changes week to week will love the Durabed. Its high-strength, roll-formed steel construction, best-in-class cargo volume, and 12 standard tie-downs rated at 500 lbs. per corner make it easy to secure everything from job boxes to weekend toys. Available LED cargo and perimeter lighting keep the bed ready long after the sun goes down, and an available 120-Volt outlet supports tools and accessories at a moment’s notice.
To make the most of these features, consider a simple pre-tow routine.
- Check trailer connection points: Confirm coupler, latch, safety chains, and breakaway cable are properly secured.
- Confirm lights and brakes: Test running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and, when equipped, trailer brake operation.
- Calibrate camera views: Set your preferred camera angles and mark trailer profiles in the In-Vehicle Trailering App.
- Balance your load: Evenly distribute weight and re-check cargo straps using the Durabed tie-downs.
- Plan the route: Use your preferred navigation app and keep an eye on bridge clearances and grade changes.
