For any hard day on a Memphis job site, or recreational visit to the closest camping area, trailering features are definitely on the top of the wish list. The all-new 2019 Silverado 1500 will introduce several levels of towing features to improve customers' overall trailering experiences, as all of the light-duty Silverado models will now have the myChevrolet trailering phone app capability. Customers can also add the Advanced Trailering System, with access from inside the vehicle as an attractive option. Everyone on staff here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis is also righteously excited about the new Trailering Camera Package: it works in conjunction with both of these technologies, to ultimately provide a more comprehensive and detailed view of the trailer for safety and accuracy.
There is also an exciting industry-first trailering label for the Silverado, which plays the role of aiding in taking the guesswork out of calculating the combined weight of customers' truck and trailer combinations. Chevy took the liberty of speaking with over 7,000 customers over the course of 18,000 hours during preparation, taking special care to figure out how to best meet the needs of customers in the all-important towing and trailering category. Sixty percent of those surveyed named towing as one of their key considerations during a new purchase, and another very important topic on debate was the difficulty that many customers have with various aspects of trailering. To properly solve these issues, all four trailering levels offered on next year's 2019 Silverado 1500 will provide customers a greater level of confidence, ease of hitching, and improved connectivity between the truck and trailer itself.
Apps that are included with trucks these days are simply amazing: there are so many variables you can control with a smart device. The My Chevrolet app is included with the purchase of all 2019 Silverado 1500s, and it will offer features such as pre-departure step-by-step towing checklists, as well as an important glossary of towing terms for compatible smart phones and data plans. You can use this awesome app to conduct a trailer light test that uses an automatic exterior light sequence, to help confirm that the trailer is securely connected. In the past, this was usually a two-person job, and it's simply amazing that now just a single individual can properly connect the lights as well as the trailer. Even the trailer light sequence can be activated, via the Advanced Trailering System. 
If towing often is going to be the main objective on your itinerary, the Advanced Trailering System provides features that will never cease to make towing a much easier process. The system is standard on LTZ and High Country trim levels, and available on LT, RST, and Trail Boss Trim levels. One of the coolest features is Auto Parking Brake Assist: it automatically sets when the vehicle is put into the Hitch View, which helps to avoid vehicle movement after the customer lines up the truck with the trailer, and then moves to shift into park. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View adds a very important dynamic backing guideline to the Rear Vision Camera System, that helps customers line up their hitch, then adding a perfect visual cue as well as precision, to ease the difficult duty of aligning a hitch just right to a trailer.
When this model arrives during the fall, you'll have access to the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System: it's a great new optional feature that now has the ability to monitor the tire pressure using the infotainment system in the truck. You can also keep an eye on the temperature of the trailer tires, which is important when it comes to blowouts from serious overheating.
We hope to see you soon before fall here at Chuck Hutton: we can also show you the Infotainment app that comes with the available Advanced Trailering System, which allows customers to track the mileage, fuel economy, and transmission temperature of the truck while you are towing. With the use of this app, customers can aptly track fuel economy, pertinent mileage, and transmission temperature of the truck, all while in motion to get the important tasks of the day crossed off the list!
