Mark Allen Chevrolet - Trailering Tech That Works Where You Work Around Broken Arrow, OK
When your weekend plans include a boat, camper, or a load of landscaping materials, the difference between a so-so drive and a smooth-hauling trip comes down to smart trailering tools. The latest Silverado pairs stout hardware with intuitive technology so you can hook up faster, maneuver with more confidence, and keep tabs on key trailer vitals from the driver’s seat. This focused look at the Silverado’s trailering advantage will help you decide which features matter most for your everyday routine and your biggest adventures.
Start with visibility. Up to 14 available camera views give you a digital spotter wherever you need one, from Hitch View to Bed View and split angles that monitor the corners you cannot see in your mirrors. It is more than convenience; it is peace of mind when backing down a narrow ramp or threading into a campsite. The integrated Trailering App further elevates the experience: build custom trailer profiles, run a pre-departure checklist, and monitor trailer tire pressure and temperature right from the center display. Taken together, these features help simplify every stage of the job, before, during, and after the drive.
- Hitching help: Camera-assisted alignment makes it simpler to connect to conventional and gooseneck setups.
- Driver awareness: Multiple exterior camera angles can reduce guesswork in tight spots and while changing lanes.
- Smart monitoring: The Trailering App supports tire pressure and temperature checks for your trailer, plus quick access to light tests and profiles.
- Hands-free potential: Available Super Cruise can assist on compatible roads, even while towing, on properly equipped High Country models.
- Hardware harmony: Autotrac 2-speed transfer case, automatic locking rear differential, and available Z71 or ZR2 hardware add traction and control when surfaces get tricky.
For owners who split time between job sites and family time, the Silverado’s trailering tech integrates cleanly into an interior that feels like a command center. An available 13.4-inch diagonal color touch-screen sits next to an available 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, keeping the map, camera views, and vital stats right where you expect them. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility plus available Wi-Fi hotspot capability keep your co-pilot connected and your streaming playlists uninterrupted while you tow.
Think beyond the hitch, too. The Durabed’s best-in-class standard cargo volume of 89.1 cu. ft. and 12 standard tie-downs help you carry more of what does not fit on the trailer. Add the available Multi-Flex Tailgate with six functions, including an inner-gate work surface and a full-width step rated to 375 lbs, and loading becomes less of a lift. If your hauling takes you off the beaten path, consider LT Trail Boss, Custom Trail Boss, or ZR2 for the 2-inch factory suspension lift and, on ZR2, Multimatic DSSV dampers with front and rear electronic locking differentials. It is a complete system: traction, control, visibility, and organization.
Which trailering features are right for you? Start by listing your typical loads, the roads you drive most, and the spots you visit often. If boat ramps and tight campsites are your routine, the expanded camera views and Trailering App will pull their weight daily. If your routes include long interstate stretches, available Super Cruise on High Country can reduce fatigue on compatible miles, even with a trailer in tow. And if you haul across gravel drives or muddy job sites, the Z71 Off-Road Package or ZR2 hardware is a smart addition.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How many camera views are available and which ones are most useful for towing?
There are up to 14 available camera views. Hitch View is invaluable for lining up, while Bed View helps you keep an eye on cargo and gooseneck setups. Surround views and side-angle perspectives are extremely helpful in tight quarters and when changing lanes.
What does the Trailering App do beyond a basic checklist?
In addition to pre-departure checklists, the app lets you create and save trailer profiles, test lights, and monitor trailer tire pressure and temperature when properly equipped. That means fewer stops and a clearer picture of how your trailer is performing as conditions change.
