Utilizing the truck’s eBoost braking system, GM engineers integrated a trailer with a similar eBoost system and upgraded hardware components such as brake rotors, calipers and tires.

“GM revolutionized the towing space with our industry-exclusive technology available on our full-size pickups, and this advanced trailer braking technology is yet another example of GM’s leadership and a hint at what’s possible in the future.” “The industry tends to focus on the big towing claim, but the overall towing experience is just as important and every hill climb has a hill to descend on the other side,” said Tim Herrick, vice president of Global Product Programs. GM has established its towing leadership with a class-leading eight available cameras with up to 15 different camera views 1 when trailering, an industry-first trailer label that shows exactly what weight that specific truck can tow, and iN-Command ® from ASA Electronics 2 compatibility available on the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty and heavy-duty models. This is done using existing components, including GM’s segment-exclusive eBoost braking system.

That includes an advanced trailer braking concept that has the potential to dramatically reduce stopping distances – in fact, it allows a truck and trailer to stop in the same distance as a truck by itself at its gross vehicle weight rating. DETROIT - GM is committed to not only great capability for customers who tow, but also advancing technologies that benefit customer confidence.
