3 New Trailering Features of the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2021 GMC Sierra added a few new features and technology to make towing even easier for owners.  Three new trailering features: Trailer Length Indicator; Jack-Knife Alert; and Cargo Bed View Enhancement are all welcome additions

The Trailer Length Indicator will appear on the truck’s central infotainment screen when a trailer is hooked up and the turn signal is activated. By displaying a red overlay two-times the length of the compatible trailer on the screen, the driver can easily see which vehicles are present in their blind spot and if there is room for both the truck and trailer in the other lane.  A genius bit of applied technology sure to reduce the blood pressure while towing and keep everyone safer.

The Jack-Knife Alert is a system that will track the position of the compatible trailer in relation to the vehicle and provide an alert if a potential jack-knife situation is believed to be imminent.  This kind of information helps keep your head in the game with some high-quality monitoring.  

The Cargo Bed View enhancement is comprised of the Cargo Bed Zoom View and Bed Hitch Guidance, which provide a rearward facing view of the truck that helps to align and hook up a gooseneck/fifth-wheel trailer.

All three of these innovative uses of onboard technology not only benefit experienced drivers but add another level when training a new driver on proper towing techniques.  Seeing how a trailer tracks during various maneuvers helps everyone keep focused and able to properly anticipate events.

GMC Sierra owners want and expect class-leading safety technology and comfort to tow what they need to tow.  Whether it’s a boat, an RV or a trailer hauling off-road toys. These new features will be available in the GMC Sierra 1500 and GMC Sierra HD series.

First introduced with the 2019 GMC Sierra, the MultiPro tailgate offers enhanced usability, flexibility, and functionality via six different configurable positions. The latest 2021 GMC Sierra brings expanded availability for the feature.  Now, the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 offers the MultiPro tailgate as an available option on SLE and Elevation trims without restrictions, while the feature continues as standard on SLT, AT4, and Denali trims.
