Alpine Chevrolet – Trailering Confidence for Denver, CO Drivers: How Silverado Tech Makes Big Loads Feel Small
If you tow frequently around city streets, foothills, and open highways, confidence comes down to visibility, control, and a truck that thinks a step ahead. The latest Silverado brings trailering features that simplify complex tasks—whether you’re maneuvering into a tight jobsite or setting out for a long weekend with a camper. With up to 14 available camera views, an In-Vehicle Trailering App that remembers your trailer settings, and advanced driver assistance that can even work hands-free on compatible roads, this is a setup that reduces stress and helps you stay focused on the road and your surroundings.
Start with camera coverage that anticipates tricky moments. Available views can help line up the hitch, keep an eye on cargo, and provide perspectives that make backing a trailer or changing lanes feel more intuitive. The available Trailering App lets you build a custom profile for each trailer you own—complete with tire pressure and light checks—so your pre-departure routine becomes a fast, consistent process. Pair those tools with smart safety and stability systems, and your towing experience feels calmer, more precise, and more predictable across a wide range of conditions.
- Up to 14 Available Camera Views: Multiple perspectives can assist with hitch alignment, trailer angles, cargo monitoring, and blind-spot awareness.
- In-Vehicle Trailering App: Create profiles for different trailers, run pre-departure checklists, and monitor key connections through the center display.
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Available alerts can extend side blind-zone coverage to account for your connected trailer.
- Autotrac® 2-Speed Transfer Case: Available hardware helps you optimize traction for changing surfaces and weather conditions.
- Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel: A torque-rich option that teams with a 10-speed automatic for confident towing performance.
- Super Cruise® with Trailering: Available hands-free driver assistance on compatible roads can help reduce fatigue during long hauls.
For drivers who are newer to towing or simply want a more organized process, a repeatable routine makes all the difference. The Silverado’s tech suite supports a step-by-step approach, reinforcing good habits and catching details that are easy to overlook when the day is busy.
- Confirm your trailer profile: Load the correct profile in the In-Vehicle Trailering App so the truck knows what you are towing.
- Run the light test: Use the app to verify tail, brake, and turn signals are functioning before you roll out.
- Check tire pressures: Ensure both truck and trailer tires meet recommended pressures for the load and distance.
- Select the right camera angles: Activate the views that help most for your first maneuvers—hitch, surround, or rear trailer view.
- Engage the appropriate drive settings: Choose tow/haul or traction settings to match your route, grade, and weather.
- Set your following gap: Use Adaptive Cruise Control, when available, to maintain a buffer and reduce fatigue on longer stretches.
These features are designed to integrate seamlessly into your day. The available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel provides a steady, composed pull with a wide torque plateau, while the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8’s strong top-end power helps on steep grades. The TurboMax™ engine shines for everyday versatility, delivering excellent low-end torque for stop-and-go towing around town. No matter which powertrain you choose, chassis tuning contributes to stability and control while trailering, with confident steering feel and braking performance that make the truck easy to place on the road.
Super Cruise® with trailering capability is another standout. On compatible roads, it can manage steering and speed hands-free, allowing you to relax your grip while keeping your attention on the environment. It’s not just about comfort—consistent lane positioning can help you hold a smooth line with a trailer, which is a real advantage over long distances. Combine that with available HD Surround Vision and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and your situational awareness stays high even when traffic closes in.
