Chevrolet of Bucyrus – Master Heavy-Duty Trailering Confidence in Columbus, OH with Silverado 2500 HD Towing Tech

When you invest in a heavy-duty pickup, you expect unflinching strength and tools that make demanding jobs easier. That’s where the Silverado 2500 HD’s trailering technology shines, transforming complex tasks into a smooth, repeatable process. From a robust camera suite to trailer profiles you can save and recall, Chevrolet designed a system that supports both seasoned haulers and first-time tower drivers. If your workday in Columbus, OH involves equipment moves, enclosed trailers, or RVs, this toolkit helps you focus on the road while staying in control of the load.

Start with the camera ecosystem. Depending on configuration, the truck can display up to 14 unique views, including Surround Views for tight parking, a Bed View to check cargo or gooseneck connections, and the headline feature—Transparent Trailer View. By stitching camera feeds, the system can virtually “see through” your compatible trailer, making it easier to monitor adjacent lanes and traffic while merging. Pair this with Adaptive Cruise Control tuned for trailering and available Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and the Silverado 2500 HD becomes a steady partner through crosswinds, grades, and traffic.

Trailer management is equally thoughtful. Use the center touchscreen running Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto to store multiple trailer profiles. Log maintenance intervals, confirm light checks, and track mileage per trailer. The integrated trailer brake controller sits within easy reach, and the tongue weight, hitch guidance lines, and tire pressure monitoring for compatible systems add layers of assurance before you roll. The end result is confidence—backed by an interface designed for work gloves and long days.

  • Transparent Trailer View: A stitched video feed that helps you virtually see behind and through a compatible trailer for safer lane changes and merges.
  • Trailer Profiles: Save settings and maintenance notes for multiple trailers, so your gooseneck, equipment hauler, and camper each have a tailored setup.
  • Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Helps monitor areas beside the truck and trailer for vehicles you might not see in your mirrors.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control: Available system that can account for trailering dynamics to maintain following distance more smoothly on the highway.
  • Bed View and Hitch Guidance: Camera views and guidelines assist with aligning a ball mount or gooseneck, reducing trial and error.

Of course, the best trailering tech works hand-in-hand with serious power. The standard 6.6L gas V8 supplies strong torque for mixed-use duty, while the available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 partners with the Allison 10-speed automatic to deliver confident passing power and authoritative pull up steep grades. With gearing that keeps the engine in its torque band and rear-wheel drive or 4WD configurations available, the drivetrain lineup is ready for Midwest job sites and weekend RV routes alike.

Ergonomics matter on tow days, and Chevrolet shows its work here. Large physical knobs complement the 13.4-inch touchscreen, voice commands are natural via Google built-in, and wireless charging plus multiple USB ports keep devices topped off. If your day ends after sunset, available LED lighting and the Bed View Camera help with unhooking and cargo checks. Thoughtful touches like corner bed steps and available spray-in bedliner reduce the little frustrations that can slow you down.

Shoppers weighing their options will also appreciate how seamlessly the safety suite fits into trailering duties. HD Surround Vision, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert support awareness when the load blocks your view. Spend a few minutes with the menus, save your trailer profiles, and you’ll be set up for repeatable success—whether you’re towing a skid-steer during the week or a fifth-wheel to a lakeside campground on the weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Transparent Trailer View work with my enclosed trailer?

When your trailer is properly equipped and set up in the system, the truck uses multiple camera feeds to create a composite rearward image, effectively helping you “see through” the trailer. This view assists with lane changes and monitoring traffic directly behind you.

Can I store more than one trailer in the system?

Yes. You can create and save multiple trailer profiles, including settings and maintenance reminders, so switching between your equipment hauler, boat, and camper is streamlined.

What if I tow at night or in tight spaces?

Available HD Surround Vision, Bed View, and hitch guidance assist with close-quarters maneuvering and visibility after dark, complementing the truck’s available LED lighting to illuminate the work area.

Is Adaptive Cruise Control useful while towing?

The available Adaptive Cruise Control is calibrated with trailering in mind, helping maintain a consistent following gap even with a load attached, which reduces driver fatigue on long highway stretches.
