Chevrolet of Corsicana - Is Super Cruise hands-free driving on the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a smart choice for towing around Dallas, TX?
Drivers who tow often know that long stretches of highway can feel just as draining as the loading and unloading. The available Super Cruise® technology on the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 aims to change that, offering hands free driver assistance on compatible roads — even while towing. If your lifestyle includes regular boat launches, camper trips, or equipment hauls, this feature can add calm, consistency, and confidence to the journey.
Super Cruise® connected by OnStar® uses a suite of sensors, precision mapping of compatible roads, and in cabin monitoring to manage steering and speed when conditions are appropriate. On the Silverado 1500 High Country, Super Cruise with Trailering extends this capability to towing, helping you maintain a steady lane position and speed over hours of highway driving. You remain attentive and ready to take control, but the system’s ability to handle repetitive inputs lightens the mental load so you arrive less fatigued and more focused on the job or the campsite ahead.
Towing raises the stakes on awareness, so pairing Super Cruise® with Silverado’s other trailering tools makes a compelling combination. Up to 14 available camera views assist with hitching and lane changes, while the In Vehicle Trailering App stores custom trailer profiles, offers a pre departure checklist, and monitors key functions as you roll. When you add Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and Adaptive Cruise Control to the mix, the technology ecosystem works together to help you manage both the truck and the trailer with fewer surprises.
Choosing the right engine further enhances hands free towing. The Duramax® 3.0L Turbo Diesel brings 495 lb ft of torque and excellent highway efficiency, ideal for long distances. If you prefer gas power, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8’s 420 horsepower and 460 lb ft shine with steady grade climbing and confident passing. The TurboMax™ engine delivers best-in-class standard torque for drivers who want strong response in a lighter duty towing routine. No matter which you choose, the Silverado’s 10 speed (or 8-speed on TurboMax™) transmission calibrations help maintain smooth power delivery under load.
Cabin tech also matters on extended hauls. The available 13.4 inch diagonal touch screen integrates navigation and media with crisp graphics, while the 12.3 inch diagonal Driver Information Center and available 15 inch Head Up Display keep key data in view. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and WiFi® hotspot capability keep your route updates, playlists, and calls organized and accessible. Voice control via available Google built in lets you adjust settings or request directions without taking your hands off the wheel — a natural partner to hands free driving on compatible roads.
