How the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD Makes Fifth-Wheel and Gooseneck Towing Easier around Owasso, OK

Mark Allen Chevrolet - How the 2026 Silverado 2500 HD Makes Fifth-Wheel and Gooseneck Towing Easier around Owasso, OK

When towing is part of your weekly routine, confidence comes from clear visibility, predictable control, and tools that simplify every step from hitching to highway merging. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD brings an integrated approach to fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing, combining a stout frame and powertrains with camera technology, steering assistance, and an Advanced Trailering System that works like a digital co-pilot. Whether you tow a large camping trailer, a horse trailer, or a work equipment hauler around Owasso, OK, the right tech makes all the difference. Below, we break down how the Silverado HD’s systems work together to reduce stress, improve awareness, and help you focus on the drive.

Start with visibility. Up to 14 available camera views are designed to deliver angles you simply cannot get with aftermarket solutions. Transparent Trailer view helps you virtually see through compatible trailers for a clear line of sight when changing lanes or navigating parking lots. Bed View lets you check a fifth-wheel kingpin or gooseneck ball while on the move. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View makes it easier to align truck and trailer solo, cutting time spent jockeying back and forth. Add Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and HD Surround Vision, and your situational awareness broadens in tight spaces or fast-moving traffic.

• Transparent Trailer: A composite camera view that can help you virtually see through a compatible trailer, improving lane changes and merging.
• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: On-screen guidelines and a zoomed camera angle that streamline lining up with a gooseneck ball or fifth-wheel kingpin.
• Bed View Camera: A helpful top-down view of the bed to double-check hitch connections and cargo security while underway.
• Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Alerts designed to account for the length of a compatible trailer, expanding your awareness in adjacent lanes.

The truck’s Advanced Trailering System puts key functions and monitoring at your fingertips. Create custom trailer profiles with tire pressure and temperature checks for compatible setups, pre-departure checklists, and maintenance reminders. Tow/Haul mode optimizes shifting from the Allison 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth control, while an available integrated trailer brake controller ties directly into the truck’s systems for consistent, predictable braking across varied trailer weights. Diesel models can add an exhaust brake that assists with downhill control, reducing reliance on the service brakes and contributing to more relaxed long-haul driving.

Steering and stability technology matter as much as horsepower when you are managing long trailers. Available Digital Variable Steering Assist helps reduce steering effort at low speeds for tighter maneuvers and adds refinement at highway speeds. Combine that with a high-strength, fully boxed frame and a suspension tuned to handle heavy pin weights, and the Silverado HD feels planted even when trailers get tall and gusty. The available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 provides abundant torque for confident launches and merges, while the standard 6.6L gas V8 remains a proven choice for mixed-duty fleets and personal use.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Transparent Trailer view work with a fifth-wheel?

Transparent Trailer uses a composite image from truck-mounted and accessory cameras to create a see-through effect on compatible trailers. With fifth-wheel setups, it can help reveal traffic directly behind and beside the trailer to support lane changes and parking lot navigation.

Do I need the Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Package for heavy towing?

The available Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Package streamlines installation and provides integrated bed-mounted hardware engineered for the Silverado HD’s frame. It is the most direct path to a clean, durable setup for frequent heavy towing.

What camera views help most when hitching solo?

Hitch Guidance with Hitch View and the Bed View Camera are the two most helpful. They provide on-screen guidelines, zoom, and a clear vantage point to align the kingpin or gooseneck ball without getting in and out repeatedly.

How does Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering help on the highway?

Available Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering is tuned to account for the additional weight and longer stopping distances associated with towing. It helps maintain gaps more smoothly, reducing driver workload on long highway stretches.
