Towing. That white-knuckle job where every mile demands your attention: routes, turns, blind spots, the works. It’s manageable, sure, but far from fun. The GMC ProGrade Trailering System takes that edge off with various digital tools that guide, assist, and give you real control from hitch to highway.
Understanding the GMC ProGrade Trailering System
It Starts with Cameras
You can’t have too many camera angles when towing. GMC knows that. How many views you get depends on the vehicle. Go with the Canyon, for instance, and you’ll have access to up to ten.
The first eight, i.e., surround view, hitch, rear, front, front top-down, rear top-down, front side, and rear side, cover the usual range. But what sets this system apart are the two underbody cameras. They are first in class and even have their own washers. You’ll get a split-screen layout that puts everything together clearly.
Hitch Solo With Confidence
Usually, hitching up a trailer means a helper and some yelling. With the ProGrade Trailering System, you can do it all yourself, even in the dark. Features that make this possible include a top-down hitch view, dynamic backup guidelines, hitch area lighting, and an auto parking brake that holds the truck steady while you connect.
Trailer Blind Zone Assist
The two cardinal rules of towing: always check your blind spots and never forget you’ve got a trailer behind you. The ProGrade Trailering System helps with the first one. It extends your blind zone monitoring to cover the entire length of your trailer, so nothing sneaks up on you.
There’s an App for That
The ProGrade Trailering System comes with a built-in app that makes life easier, whether you’ve been towing for years or you’re still figuring things out. New to the game? The app walks you through a pre-departure checklist so you know exactly what to do before hitting the road. Got a few trailers? You can create a custom profile for up to five, and it’ll remember stuff like brake gain and mileage for each one.
You can also test your trailer lights, set maintenance alerts, keep an eye on tire pressure and health, and even receive theft notifications.
