Towing Made Easier: Advanced Trailering Features of the 2024 Silverado HD

November 23 2024

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD transforms the trailering experience through innovative technology and enhanced capability. Whether you're hauling equipment to job sites or towing a recreational vehicle through the Canadian Rockies, the latest Silverado HD delivers confidence-inspiring features that make towing more accessible and safer than ever.

Next-Generation Trailering Technology

The Silverado HD introduced Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer, a revolutionary system that considers the additional weight and braking requirements of your trailer. The system maintains a set following distance while automatically adjusting for the increased demands of trailering, particularly valuable during long highway hauls between Toronto and Montreal or through varying terrain in British Columbia.

Enhanced Transparent Trailer technology now supports fifth-wheel and gooseneck configurations, expanding its functionality for serious towers. The system creates a see-through effect of your trailer on the 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment display, virtually eliminating blind spots. This technology proves invaluable when navigating tight construction sites or backing into confined spaces at crowded campgrounds.

Power Meets Intelligence

The new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, now standard with both the 6.6L V8 gas engine and the Duramax turbo-diesel, delivers seamless power distribution across all gears. The closer gear spacing maintains optimal engine performance while towing, particularly noticeable when climbing grades or merging onto highways. The Duramax diesel engine now produces 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, with enhanced low-end torque delivery improving performance during critical trailering situations.

Safety and Confidence

Safety remains paramount with the Extended Side Blind Zone Alert system, specifically calibrated for trailering situations. The system monitors your trailer's blind spots, providing vital awareness of surrounding traffic. Combined with the available 14 unique camera views, including HD Surround Vision and Bed View, the Silverado HD offers comprehensive visibility around your truck and trailer.

The in-vehicle Trailering App integrates seamlessly with the Silverado HD's systems, providing real-time monitoring of trailer status, maintenance reminders, and customizable trailer profiles. The new GCW Alert actively monitors your truck and trailer weight, ensuring you remain within the vehicle's capabilities. Each Silverado HD includes a vehicle-specific Trailering Information Label, clearly stating maximum ratings for various towing configurations.

Unmatched Capability

The 2024 Silverado HD sets new standards for trailering capability, offering up to 36,000 pounds of towing capacity on properly equipped 3500HD dual-rear-wheel models. The 2500HD, when equipped with the Duramax diesel and gooseneck hitch, confidently handles up to 22,500 pounds, perfect for most heavy-duty towing needs.
