THE NEW GM TRUCKS COME WITH TRAILERING AND TOWING TECHNOLOGY FOR COLUMBUS CUSTOMERS
General Motors knows that trailering is one of the most important capabilities of a good pickup truck. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra 1500, and GMC Sierra HD at Carl Hogan Automotive can tow impressive loads of cargo. And, these GM pickup trucks are well-equipped with advanced trailering technologies to maximize their high-level capabilities.
Up to 14 camera views for safer trailering
No matter what place you're in, General Motors has a unique camera view to help you see it better. This involves more through views for driving, parking, and connecting your trailer in Columbus, Mississippi. Both the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado trucks offer up to 14 distinct camera views built especially for hitching, reversing, changing lanes, and making turns with a trailer.
These Viewable through your center infotainment touchscreen, these include Enhanced Transparent Trailer, HD Surround View, hitch and bed views, and multiple front and rear angles. Information gleaned from these camera views is also used for Jack-Knife Alert, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and the Trailer Length Indicator - available tools that help you safely change lanes and perform other maneuvers while handling big loads in downtown Columbus and beyond.
In-vehicle and mobile trailering apps
Silverado and the Sierra models both offer trailering apps that allow drivers to interact with and monitor their trailers. Available through the truck's in-dash touchscreen or via your smartphone, these apps provide a slew of functions.
These include a trailer load calculator, pre-departure checklists with illustrated step-by-step instructions for hitching trailers, the creation of unique trailer profiles, lighting test functionality, and a dashboard to monitor important trailer metrics like tire pressure. A Theft Alert feature is also built into the app that notifies you if your trailer is unexpectedly disconnected.
Smart trailer integration
One especially helpful towing feature available for the Silverado and Sierra is smart trailer integration. Built to be used in your vehicle or on your smartphone, smart trailer integration uses ASA Electronics technologies to let you monitor things like water tank levels and interact with HVAC controls in compatible smart trailers.
Tow/Haul driving mode
For GM trucks with available Drive Mode Selector technology, getting ready for the long haul is as simple as turning a dial. Tow/Haul mode is one of several possible driving configurations that fine-tune your truck and modify your transmission shifting points to deliver the best possible performance for any given situation in Mississippi.Â
Trailering tools for Adaptive Cruise Control and Super Cruise
Two of GM's most advanced driving systems can now be used while you're towing a trailer with the Silverado or Sierra. Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering is calibrated to handle a trailer as it adjusts your truck's speed and helps you maintain a safe following distance. The even more advanced Super Cruise with Trailering system lets you drive hands-free on eligible roadways across Mississippi while towing a trailer.
Trailer braking technology
The integrated trailer brake controller is a helpful feature that's available for both the Sierra and Silverado trucks. This technology integrates with your antilock brake system and ensures that your truck's brakes and trailer's brakes are working together to provide the appropriate level of braking force for safe stopping on Mississippi roads.
