Hauling a trailer through Wayne County isn't for the faint of heart. Whether you are navigating tight construction zones on I-275, merging onto a busy Jeffries Freeway (I-96), or backing a camper into a tight spot, blind spots are a constant challenge.
Chevrolet has engineered a solution that fundamentally changes how you tow. The Advanced Trailering System utilizes a sophisticated network of up to 8 cameras to generate 14 distinct views around your vehicle. It provides the visibility you need to navigate Metro Detroit traffic with the confidence of a seasoned professional.
The standout feature of this system is the Transparent Trailer View. It addresses the biggest stressor of towing: not knowing what is directly behind you.
By processing live video from the tailgate camera and a remote accessory camera installed on the rear of your trailer, the system digitally "erases" the trailer from your infotainment screen.
This gives you an unobstructed, virtual look at the road behind you. Whether you are changing lanes on Ford Road or checking for tailgaters on the highway, you get a clear line of sight as if the trailer wasn't even there.
Stop guessing and start connecting on the first try. This mode provides a zoomed-in, top-down perspective of your receiver hitch and the trailer tongue. It allows you to steer with pinpoint accuracy, making solo hookups fast and frustration-free.
Blind spots are dangerous, especially when towing. When you activate your turn signal, this view automatically projects a full-length shot down the side of your truck and trailer on the center screen. It allows you to visually verify that the lane is clear of smaller vehicles before you make your move.
Integrated into the Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL), this camera lets you check on your payload without pulling over. It is invaluable for ensuring your tie-downs are secure or for monitoring a fifth-wheel hitch connection while in motion.
Perfect for hauling livestock or valuable classic cars, this view utilizes an accessory camera mounted inside your enclosed trailer. It lets you keep a watchful eye on your cargo from the comfort of the driver's seat.
You can find this industry-leading camera technology on Chevrolet's most capable trucks and SUVs.
