Route 1 Chevrolet - How the Silverado 1500 Camera Tech Makes Daily Driving More Satisfying Around Manteno, IL
The latest Silverado 1500 blends truck strength with smart visibility, and that combination pays off whether you are towing, parking, or navigating a busy school pickup lane around Manteno, IL. Chevrolet designed the camera system and trailering technologies to remove guesswork and help you feel in control from the moment you shift into reverse. If you have ever wished for an extra set of eyes around a full-size truck and a trailer, Silverado’s available camera views can feel like a superpower.
What stands out first is how naturally the technology fits your routine. The available 13.4-inch diagonal touch-screen pulls up camera views with crisp clarity, and the optional HD Surround Vision can help when you are backing into a tight driveway with landscaping on both sides. When you connect a trailer, Silverado’s available Trailering App walks you through creating and saving a custom trailer profile, complete with tire pressure monitoring support and checklist prompts designed for real-world use. No flipping between applications or fumbling with a phone — it is all native, intuitive, and truck-smart.
Silverado’s available up to 14 camera views were developed with towing in mind. Side view perspectives help you verify lane position, a rear trailer view can simplify straight-line backing, and a hitch view makes lining up the ball and coupler as easy as centering an on-screen guideline. Available Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert adds another layer of help by accounting for the length of your connected trailer. Whether you are easing a boat down the ramp or slotting a utility trailer into a side yard, those extra angles build confidence you can feel behind the wheel.
Daily driving sees benefits, too. The available 12.3-inch diagonal Driver Information Center can be configured to keep key data in your line of sight, and the available 15-inch Head-Up Display projects turn-by-turn directions on the windshield when navigation is active. That kind of information placement helps reduce distractions during errands and school runs. Add Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for fast access to playlists and calls, and everyday tasks become easier without sacrificing focus on the road.
The Silverado story gets even better on compatible highways. Available Super Cruise® driver assistance technology on High Country enables hands-free driving on thousands of miles of mapped roads and is available with trailering. That means you can maintain a consistent lane and speed with a boat or camper in tow, a feature that takes the stress out of long stretches and keeps you fresh for the moments that matter at your destination.
