• Industry-First Auto Electric Parking Brake Assist: When using Hitch View on the camera, the Electronic Parking Brake automatically sets when you put your truck in park to avoid rolling. You don’t have to worry about setting the brake in case you’re busy and you forget.
• Trailering Camera Package: This package adds two side-view mirror cameras to make changing lanes and reversing easier when you have a trailer in tow. It can also be paired with a trailer-mounted camera for greater visibility from the cabin. You’ll have all the views you need.
• Traction Select System with Tow/Haul Mode: This system adjusts the transmission shift points, StabiliTrak, and throttle mapping, depending on which drive mode you’re in. You’ll optimize trailering capabilities no matter what conditions you drive in.
• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller: Control buttons situated on the center console give you the ability to manipulate and monitor the trailer brakes from the comfort of the driver’s seat. You can alter this based on the terrain, speed, and road conditions.

What Is the GMC Sierra ProGrade Trailering System?

GMC’s ProGrade Trailering System adds robust and innovative towing technology to your pickup truck. It utilizes high-resolution cameras, your Sierra’s infotainment display, and integrated smartphone apps to make towing through Fort Pierce easier than ever. It also works for someone driving alone without an extra set of eyes.

See these fantastic, high-tech features:

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: This feature overlays a dynamic grid line onto the camera image while offering zoom capabilities to help you hitch to the trailer correctly on the first try. This is perfect if you’re the only one in the vehicle. You don’t necessarily need another person to watch you back to the trailer like you used to, although having a partner helps.
• Trailer Light Sequence Test: Even when you’re by yourself, you can test your trailer lights before you hit the road with the trailer light sequence test. It’s a safety feature that works when you’re in unfamiliar surroundings, too, or if it starts to rain outside and you want to stay dry.
• In-vehicle trailering app and phone app: Includes pre-departure checklists, Trailer Theft Detection, programmable trailer brake settings, and more, all from your phone! It’s like having a flight plan for your journey before you even set out for your destination!
