Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet Pompano Beach – Deerfield Beach, FL Towing Made Easier — How the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Camera Views Work
When towing is part of your daily routine around Deerfield Beach, FL, confidence starts with clear visibility. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD offers an available suite of up to 14 camera views designed to help you hitch faster, maneuver more precisely, and keep your load in check mile after mile. Paired with the In-Vehicle Trailering App for custom trailer profiles and pre-departure checklists, this truck’s technology shortens the learning curve for new towers and adds efficiency for seasoned pros.
Below is a quick breakdown of the camera tools drivers ask about most and how they translate into real-world value on crowded marinas, job sites, and tight neighborhood streets.
- Hitch View: Offers a close-up, top-down look at the receiver and hitch ball so you can align solo and avoid repeated in-and-out adjustments.
- Transparent Trailer View: Uses camera stitching to help you virtually “see through” a compatible trailer, which can be especially helpful when changing lanes or monitoring traffic behind you.
- Bed View: Lets you watch the cargo bed and hitch area, an advantage when connecting a fifth-wheel or gooseneck or checking tie-downs after a quick stop.
- HD Surround Vision: Provides a composite overhead look at the truck and nearby obstacles, ideal for threading into tight slips, warehouse doors, or construction access points.
- Rear Camera Mirror: Replaces the traditional mirror image with a wider digital view that reduces blind spots when the bed is loaded tall or a trailer blocks the glass.
- Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Extends blind-zone coverage down the length of a compatible trailer to support safer merges and lane changes.
The In-Vehicle Trailering App ties these views together with practical tools. Create a custom trailer profile, save your tire pressure and light check sequences, and pull up a step-by-step pre-departure checklist. That organization reduces missed steps when you are in a hurry and makes it easier to share duties with another driver. Because the app lives on the 13.4-inch diagonal touch-screen, you’re never fumbling between a phone and the truck while you stage your hitch.
Engine choices complement the technology. The 6.6L V8 gas engine shines for mixed-duty use with strong throttle response, while the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 is the pick for heavy fifth-wheel or equipment towing thanks to its high torque output and 10-speed automatic transmission that keeps power on tap. Either way, camera views like Hitch View and Transparent Trailer View help you unlock the full potential of your setup by removing guesswork from alignment and lane positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can Transparent Trailer View work with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck?
Yes. When properly equipped and paired with a compatible trailer and camera setup, Transparent Trailer View can help you see a composite image behind the trailer, including fifth-wheel or gooseneck configurations.
Do I need a specific trim to get all the camera views?
Camera availability varies by trim and package. Many views are available across LT, LTZ, ZR2, and High Country, and the full suite typically requires adding a trailering or technology package. We can help you select the combination that fits your needs.
How does the In-Vehicle Trailering App help new towers?
It guides you through pre-departure tasks, lets you save multiple trailer profiles, and provides on-screen checklists and diagnostics so you can build good habits and verify connections before you roll.
Is the Rear Camera Mirror useful when I’m not towing?
Absolutely. It expands your rear view even when the bed is loaded to the rails or gear blocks the window, and it is equally helpful navigating busy parking lots or narrow jobsite access points.
