Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet Pompano Beach – Does the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Have the Towing Tech Fort Lauderdale, FL Drivers Need?
Choosing a full-size truck starts with confidence, and nothing builds confidence like the right tools for the job. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 brings a smart trailering toolkit designed to help you hitch faster, see more around your trailer, and keep key information at your fingertips on the road.
It begins with camera coverage. On select trims, Silverado 1500 offers up to 14 available camera views that make hitching and hauling feel more precise. Whether you are aligning a ball and coupler or checking traffic around a long trailer, those views help you see what would otherwise be hidden. Inside, the available In-Vehicle Trailering App lets you create custom trailer profiles, run pre-departure checklists, monitor connections, and store important trailer information. It is the kind of integrated approach that supports both new and seasoned towers as conditions change mile after mile.
Engine torque matters when you are moving serious weight. The standard TurboMax™ engine supplies the best-in-class standard 430 lb.-ft. of torque for confident acceleration with a loaded trailer, while the available Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel delivers 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft. of torque to help maintain speed on grades with a smooth 10-speed automatic. Pair the power with available trailering mirrors and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and you get a clearer picture of vehicles that may be sitting just beyond your sightline.
Stability and composure also come from chassis and driveline options. Trims with Autotrac® 2-speed transfer case and an automatic locking rear differential enhance traction when boat ramps or jobsite surfaces are wet or loose. If your days take you off the beaten path, Trail Boss models and ZR2 add a factory lift, skid plates, and on ZR2, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers plus front and rear E-lockers to help keep the truck composed when the trail tilts against you. Back on the highway, available Super Cruise® on High Country supports hands-free travel on compatible roads and is designed to work even while towing, easing the load on long stretches.
To make your evaluation easier, bring your typical towing routine to your test drive. Ask to preview camera views while navigating a tight loop, step through the Trailering App’s pre-departure checklist, and review how the Driver Information Center surfaces key towing data. Then drive a route with both surface streets and highway time to evaluate engine response, brake feel, and stability at speed. The goal is to replicate your real-world needs so you can feel how Silverado 1500 supports you when it counts.
