Just for starters are the available 15 views feeding from 8 cameras to help the driver ensure that whatever is being towed is secure and that there are no sudden surprises that come up from the area around the vehicle. The Rear Trailer View also is equipped with guidelines and a Trailer-Angle Indicator that helps when backing up, and Cargo Bed View enhancement features both Cargo Bed Zoom View and Bed Hitch Guidance to assure proper alignment when adding a fifth-wheel trailer. The Rear Side View enhancement view will also provide a split view of the left and right of the trailer that sees its feed dependent on the angle where the trailer is situated.
Another cool feature that assists during any haul is the Trailer Length Indicator, which will activate as soon as the turn signal is used. A red overlay then appears onto the infotainment screen to assist in making it safer to change lanes. There is even a “Jackknife alert” feature, which closely monitors the trailer position and issues a distinct warning when the truck may be prone to skidding in one direction while the trailer goes in another. Preventing the dangerous potential of overturning completely, this is a very useful element when dealing with the demands of a heavy-duty truck's daily workload.
These enhancements all require either 18-inch or 20-inch wheels and are sure to make life easier for anyone dealing with precious cargo in any shape or form. The LT, LTZ, and High Country trim all have seen Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto added this year, giving you access to all of the media your heart desires. Many truck owners that are concerned with securing and monitoring their trailer are also no strangers to plowing: the Alaskan Snow Plow Package now comes with a different set of wheels.
Last year's model came equipped with 18-inch, 6-spoke machined aluminum wheels with Silver-painted accents as standard, and this year those wheels are exchanged for new 18-inch High Gloss Black aluminum. Completing things properly is the new Jet Black / Carhartt Brown interior color combination available for the Carhartt Special Edition, the Silverado's utmost salute to the family-owned company creating the best in durable work clothing since 1889!
