Alpine GMC South – Trailering Tech That Simplifies Every Haul around Colorado Springs, CO

Heavy-duty towing is only as easy as the tools that support it. That’s why GMC equips Sierra HD with trailering innovations designed to simplify setup, streamline monitoring, and enhance visibility at every stage of the haul. If you’re comparing trucks for frequent towing, Sierra HD’s integrated tech ecosystem stands out by bringing the right information into view and reducing the steps between hitch-up and hit-the-road.

It starts with the available ProGrade® Trailering System and In-Vehicle Trailering App. Build multiple trailer profiles, run a customizable pre-departure checklist, monitor compatible trailer tire pressure and temperature, and access diagnostics directly on the center display. Pair those tools with up to 14 available camera views—including HD Surround Vision, Bed View Camera, Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, and the industry-first Transparent Trailer View—and you can see around the truck and compatible trailer from angles that make lining up, merging, and parking feel less like a guessing game. Add available trailering mirrors with power extend/fold, perimeter lighting, and auxiliary spot lamps, and night-time hookups become a far more confident affair.

ProGrade Trailering Suite: Create trailer profiles, check lights, and view compatible TPMS data on-screen.
Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: Center the receiver on the ball using dynamic guidelines.
Transparent Trailer View: Virtually see “through” certain compatible box or conventional trailers for added awareness.
HD Surround Vision: Use a stitched 360-degree perspective to spot obstacles near the truck and trailer.
Integrated Controller: Adjust trailer brake gain from the dash for consistent control.

Beyond visibility, Sierra HD’s driveline is designed for composed control. The available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 pairs with an Allison® 10-speed automatic to offer smooth, consistent torque and an integrated Exhaust Brake that helps manage downhill speed with a heavy load. The Traction Select System with Tow/Haul mode optimizes shifting for grade changes and acceleration needs, and available Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering helps maintain a gap on the highway by accounting for added drag and stopping distance. Whether you’re hauling equipment to a job or towing a fifth-wheel for a weekend escape, that harmony of engine, transmission, and driver-assistance systems helps reduce fatigue and keeps you focused on the road ahead.

Inside, towing confidence continues with a 13.4-inch diagonal GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google built-in on SLE and SLT, a 12.3-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center, and available multicolor 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display that projects speed and alerts into your line of sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep maps and calls in easy reach, while an available Bose® Premium Sound System with Centerpoint® surround sound brings clarity to every podcast or playlist between stops. It’s the rare combination of muscle and mindfulness that pays dividends every mile.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Transparent Trailer View work?

Using a rear camera combined with trailer-mounted camera input on certain compatible setups, the system stitches images to create a view that appears to look “through” the trailer, helping you check lanes and surrounding traffic.

Do I need a special camera for the In-Vehicle Trailering App?

No additional camera is required to use the app’s profiles, checklists, and compatible trailer diagnostics, but certain camera-based views and features require specific cameras and trailer compatibility.

Can Sierra HD help with fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitching?

Yes. Bed View Camera and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View help line up the hitch and coupler, while guidelines and zoom features make fine adjustments easier.

Is Adaptive Cruise Control with trailering available on all trims?

It is available on select trims and configurations; our team can confirm availability for the exact model you’re considering.

What if I tow in the mountains?

The available Duramax® with the Allison® 10-speed and integrated Exhaust Brake helps maintain speed on descents, while Tow/Haul mode and the Traction Select System assist with grade changes and throttle response at elevation.
