ProGrade Trailering System: The Ultimate Towing Assistant

GMC’s ProGrade Trailering System is a suite of tools designed to help drivers confidently hitch, tow and monitor their trailers. Available on models like the Sierra 1500, Sierra HD, and Yukon, this system provides high-tech assistance before, during and after your trip.

Key Features of ProGrade Trailering

• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View – Provides a dynamic backing guideline and a close-up view of the hitch to make connecting a trailer easier.
• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller – Lets drivers adjust trailer brake settings from inside the cabin for smoother stops.
• Trailer Theft Alert – Sends an alert to your phone if someone disconnects your trailer while the truck is parked and locked.
• Custom Trailer Profiles – Allows drivers to save multiple trailer settings, such as brake gain, mileage tracking and maintenance reminders.

With these tools, GMC makes sure that setting up your trailer is as seamless and safe as possible.

Transparent Trailer View: A Game-Changer for Visibility

One of the biggest challenges of towing is limited visibility. GMC’s Transparent Trailer View uses multiple cameras to create a digital see-through effect, allowing drivers to “look through” the trailer and see the road behind it.

Benefits of Transparent Trailer View

• Reduces blind spots when changing lanes or merging
• Makes it easier to back up and maneuver in tight spaces
• Enhances safety by providing a clear view of the traffic behind you

This feature is especially useful for long and enclosed trailers, where traditional side mirrors don’t offer enough visibility.

Smart Trailer Integration with the myGMC App

GMC takes convenience a step further by integrating trailer monitoring with the myGMC mobile app. This allows drivers to check important towing information right from their smartphones.

What You Can Monitor from the App

• Trailer tire pressure and temperature
• Trailer light status
• Pre-departure checklists
• Mileage and maintenance tracking

Advanced Trailering Safety Features

Beyond visibility and convenience, GMC’s trailering technology is built with safety in mind. Several driver-assist features help prevent trailer-related accidents and make towing more stable.

Trailer Sway Control

Towing at high speeds or in windy conditions can cause a trailer to sway, leading to dangerous driving situations. GMC’s Trailer Sway Control works with the truck’s StabiliTrak system to automatically apply brakes and reduce engine power to keep the trailer stable.

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul Mode adjusts the transmission shift points to provide more power when climbing hills and better control when descending steep grades. It helps prevent excessive braking and improves overall towing performance.

Auto Electric Parking Brake Assist

When hitching a trailer, this feature automatically applies the parking brake to prevent the truck from rolling. It’s a small but crucial function that makes trailer connection safer and easier.

GMC Trucks Built for Towing

GMC offers some of the most capable towing vehicles on the market, with models equipped to handle a wide range of towing needs.
