Jones Chevrolet - Trailering Tech That Saves Time around Manning, SC on the New Silverado 1500
Hooking up a trailer should not require a second set of hands. The latest Silverado 1500 makes it simpler with a suite of thoughtful tools that help you hitch, maneuver, and monitor your load with confidence. If your weekends around Manning, SC include boats, landscaping trailers, or a camper bound for the coast, this guide breaks down how Silverado’s available trailering technology streamlines the entire process—before, during, and after each haul.
Start with the In-Vehicle Trailering App. Build custom trailer profiles for each load you tow, then run a step-by-step pre-departure checklist so you never forget chocks, chains, or lights. Once you are rolling, up to 14 available camera views provide crystal-clear visibility around the truck and trailer. Hitch View and Hitch Guidance help line up perfectly, while available HD Surround Vision delivers a top-down perspective that’s invaluable in tight parking lots. Available Transparent Trailer View can help you virtually see through a properly equipped trailer to check for vehicles or obstacles, and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert adds visual cues in your side mirrors to promote safe lane changes. Pair this tech with Silverado’s available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel or TurboMax™ engine—both known for confident torque—and you will feel the difference in real-world control.
- Hitching made easier: Available Hitch View and Hitch Guidance help you line up solo, with on-screen guidelines that reduce guesswork.
- Visibility where it matters: Up to 14 available camera views, including HD Surround Vision, expand awareness around corners and curbs.
- Smarter monitoring: The In-Vehicle Trailering App tracks mileage on each trailer and stores brake gain settings and checklists.
- Highway confidence: Available Super Cruise® with trailering on High Country offers hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads.
What about longer drives or tow-heavy commutes? Silverado’s available Super Cruise® with trailering, offered on High Country, helps manage speed and steering on compatible roads to reduce fatigue. That means steadier lane control, smoother pacing in traffic, and more refreshed arrivals—even with a trailer attached. And because Super Cruise uses advanced mapping and driver attention systems, it is designed to add support without getting in your way. On curvier local routes, features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning help maintain calm, measured progress, all while the available 10-speed automatic smoothly delivers torque from your chosen engine.
Durability shows up at the bed, too. Silverado’s Durabed combines roll-formed high-strength steel, 12 standard tie-downs, and the available Multi-Flex Tailgate with six helpful configurations to handle long lumber, step up safely, or set down a laptop on the inner work surface. That kind of utility means fewer extra trips—and more time back for what matters. It is everyday practicality, designed to handle spur-of-the-moment tasks as well as weekend projects that deserve a solid plan.
