City Motor Company – Why Silverado Trailering Tech Makes Sense for Kalispell, MT Adventures
Montana driving covers everything from quick runs to the hardware store to long, loaded trips that cross mountain passes. That’s where the Silverado’s trailering technology earns its keep. Silverado trucks offer up to 14 available camera views to simplify every stage of hauling, while the built-in Trailering App lets you store profiles for multiple trailers, track maintenance, and run a pre-departure checklist that prevents small mistakes from becoming big delays. It’s the kind of thoughtful system that reduces stress whether you’re towing a flatbed with lumber or a camper for a long weekend under the stars.
Pair those tools with the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel or the strong 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 and you get confident pull from a low rpm, stable downshifts on grades, and smooth power delivery when merging with traffic. An Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case and an automatic locking rear differential are available for low-traction boat ramps or snowy trailheads, while an available integrated trailer brake controller makes it easy to balance stopping power. If you’re planning a high-mile day, High Country’s available Super Cruise® enables hands-free driving on compatible roads—even while towing—so your attention stays on the bigger picture rather than micro-corrections mile after mile.
Here’s how Silverado makes towing simpler before, during, and after the trip:
- Pre-departure checklists: Build a routine inside the Trailering App to verify lights, safety chains, and tire pressures.
- Custom trailer profiles: Save settings for your boat, cargo, or livestock trailer and recall them instantly.
- Camera perspectives: Use Hitch View, Bed View, and Transparent Trailer View to line up, monitor cargo, and enhance confidence on the move.
- Trailer monitoring: Keep an eye on trailer tire pressure and temperature right from the dash.
- Tow/Haul calibration: Optimize shift mapping and throttle response for heavier loads and long grades.
Beyond the hitch, the Durabed and available Multi-Flex Tailgate keep your gear organized and accessible. With best-in-class 89.1 cu. ft. of standard cargo volume, 12 tie-downs, and the Multi-Flex Tailgate’s six configurations—primary gate, load stops, easy access, full-width step, and a work surface—you can load smarter and faster. Add an available 120-volt outlet and your bed becomes a mobile power hub for saws, inflators, or campsite essentials.
Inside, the truck functions like a command center. The available 13.4-inch diagonal color touch-screen and 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center keep critical information in view. Chevrolet with Google built-in, Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a standard Wi-Fi® hotspot ensure your maps, calls, and playlists are ready when you are. For frequent haulers, little touches such as trailer mileage tracking and service reminders within the Trailering App help you stay ahead of maintenance that protects both your investment and your schedule.

Yes. The Trailering App offers trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring when properly equipped, so you can keep tabs on critical data in real time and address issues before they escalate.
