Chevrolet debuts upgraded 2021 Silverado HD, with a host of updates and improvements

The 2020 model year was huge for Chevy, marking significant upgrades to the current-generation Chevy Silverado 1500 that premiered in 2019, and the debut of the totally redesigned Silverado HD. For 2021, Chevy is taking a great truck and making it even better, with the announcement of a slew of upgrades, updates and improvements to the 2021 Chevy Silverado HD, including increased maximum towing capacity, better trailering technology and more!

We’ve sold a lot of Silverado HD trucks here at McLarty Daniel Chevy, so let’s dive into how the 2021 Chevy Silverado HD will make your day easier and safer than ever at work or play!

Increased Towing Capability

No heavy-duty truck puts in more work than the Silverado HD, and for 2021, Chevy has found a way to squeeze even more power from the platform, upping the 2021 Chevy Silverado HD’s maximum towing capacity to 36,000 pounds — an increase of 500 pounds — on 3500 HD Work Truck, Regular Cab, dual-rear-wheel, two-wheel-drive models equipped with the 6.6L Duramax diesel and 10-speed Allison transmission with the Max Tow Package

Upgraded Trailering Technology

From trailer sway to the dangers posed by other drivers, one of the most dangerous things you’ll ever do with your truck is towing. Towing is also one of the top reasons owners buy a Silverado HD truck. Given those two factors, Chevy engineers are always working hard to make towing safer for our customers. In the 2021 Chevy Silverado HD, Chevrolet put on their thinking caps and came up with even more work-proven technology to help keep you safe and inspire confidence when it’s time to hitch up and get along down the highway with a trailer in tow.

All-new on the 2021 Silverado HD, that includes:

• Class-leading available 15 camera views and eight cameras, with switchable feeds sent to the full-color in-dash touchscreen, to make keeping an eye on your trailer and load simple and easy
• Trailer-length Indicator: When the turn signal is activated, a feed pops up on the center-dash touchscreen showing that side of your trailer, along with a red overlay twice as long as your trailer, helping you better judge when it’s safe to make a lane-change while driving in traffic.
• Jack-knife Alert: When maneuvering trailers around tight corners, there always exists the possibility of a “jack-knife” situation where the rear bumper contacts the trailer tongue, potentially damaging your truck, trailer or both. The 2021 Chevy Silverado HD’s Jack-Knife Alert uses technology to track the position of your truck and trailer, issuing audible and visual alerts before contact is made.
• Cargo Bed View: Keeping an eye on your load is easier than ever with the new ability to zoom in on specific items like tied owns and ratchet straps. Towing a gooseneck trailer with a hitch in the bed? Use cargo bed view to zoom in on the ball while you’re backing up to hitch on, for picture perfect hitch-ups every time with no damage to your truck or trailer.
