2019 Silverado Trailering Touts Massive Improvement, Well-Integrated App






Mid-MIssouri Powerhouse customers get immensely focused when they set their sights on a new truck purchase, and towing ability ranks near the top of desired qualities. Next year's 2019 Silverado 1500 will introduce several new levels of towing feature to improve customers' experiences during trailering: all light-duty Silverado models have the myChevrolet trailering phone app capability, and adding the Advanced Trailer System allows full access to every feature while inside the vehicle.

A groundbreaking and monumental industry-first trailering lable is helping to take a majority of the guesswork out of calculating the combined weight of customer truck and trailer combination, with final completion taking place after Chevy spoke with 7,000 customers over a period of 18,000 hours. It was no surprise to us here after years in the business that sixty percent of those surveyed named towing as a very key quality to consider during purchase. All four of the trailering levels on the Silverado 1500 will offer up much greater confidence, easier trailer hitching, and one of the most important qualities in existence: a greatly improved sense of connectivity between the trailer and truck itself.




One of the coolest things about the purchase of the 2019 Silverado 1500 is the addition of the myChevrolet app, which offers features such as the very useful pre-departure step-by-step towing checklists, and a glossary of towing terms for all compatible devices and plans. One of the best features of this plan is the ability to quickly access your device, and conduct a finely-detailed light trailer test that incorporates an automatic exterior light sequence to help confirm the trailer is properly connected in all ways. In years past, this was a two-person job, and it is wildly revolutionary that now a single individual can properly connect a trailer by themselves, and do a thorough check on the lights.

For customers that have an even higher priority level on their towing needs, the Advanced Trailering System provides the features to make towing an easier process all-around. It is available on the LTZ and High Country Trim levels, as well as LT, RST, and Trail Boss. The system also included Auto Parking Brake Assist, which is the ideal fit for customers who have dealt with the frustration of trying to get their truck aligned flawlessly. When the vehicle is put into Hitch View, it works overtime to help avoid vehicle movement after the customer lines the truck up with the trailer, then shifts to park.




You may be moving horses, getting ready to do a concrete job, or just having to take on multiple extra miles during the week: The Trailer Pressure Monitoring System is one great feature that can help monitor the tire pressure by use of the infotainment system in the truck. It allows the driver to continuously monitor the temperature of the tires as well, to help prevent blowouts and the worst kind of overheating. The infotainment app that is paired up with the Advanced Trailering System now allows customers to track the mileage, fuel economy, and transmission temperature of the truck during a tow, and you even have the freedom to create up to five in-depth profiles for the different trailer types on your work docket. Hauling goods around is one of the most important aspects of any truck owner's regimen, and we guarantee that you'll love what next year's Silverado has the capability to get up and pull!
