Chevrolet Silverado HD: Even More Powerful

Chevrolet Silverado HD: Even More Powerful

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado HD can tow even heavier loads than last year. What may seem surprising, we've already known. Because the Silverado HD was already first in its class in this area. This time, GM has increased its maximum towing capacity from 35,500 pounds to 36,000 pounds in its top-performing variant.

For clarification, let's mention that this is the 3500 HD work truck with a normal cab, rear-wheel drive, two rear wheels, a 6.6 litre Duramax diesel engine, and a Max tow package.

Chevrolet Towing Technology

This technology also takes a step forward for 2021. GM has, in fact, added a number of features this year. The first function is a trailer length indicator. When towing a trailer, turning on your turn signal brings up an image of your blind spot. The real trick, however, is that a red overlay indicates the area where your trailer will be in the lane next to you. This system is designed to give drivers a better idea of ​​the traffic around them. It will also make it easier to change lanes. This view is also available when backing up to have side visibility when parking a trailer.

Put simply, you no longer need to be a real pro to maneuver the Chevrolet Silverado HD (or its cousin the GMC Sierra HD), even when towing.

More Novelties

The emergency line indicator now works with trailers. This gives the driver an idea of ​​where the trailer is heading. Plus, it displays a trailer angle indicator that will give you an accurate measurement of the relationship between the truck and the trailer.

It's unrelated to towing, but GM has also added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless capabilities to the LT, LTZ, and High Country trims this year.

We know that the Chevrolet Silverado HD is not for all budgets or all motorists. But if you need them, they will now be even more effective work companions!
