GMC Sierra / Chevy Silverado Trailering Tech | Cameras Galore

With the latest Sierra and Silverado GM has really upped the game when it comes to electronic systems to aid in towing a trailer. With up to 15 cameras views, external camera inputs and a load of digital image manipulation, the latest 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks make it a whole lot easier to see what's happening inside and outside your trailer.

I have a 2024 Sierra and the camera system is phenomenal. I added the trailer camera and it’s just crazy how much visibility there is. I can see 360 around my entire truck AND trailer. And I can see through my trailer in transparent trailer view. Also side rear views on both sides, cargo view, hitch view, 360 view, and front view. And all of these modes and cameras can be pulled up on screen at any time. Also the rear trailer camera view adds backup guides that shows which way your trailer is going and a diagram to show you what orientation your truck and trailer are currently in with jackknife alerts. Oh, and when driving with a trailer there’s also blind spot zones and assistance for turns to help you make sure you don’t cause an accident or turn too sharp.

Overall this cameras system is one of the big sellers for me when I bought my truck. As a new travel trailer owner with little trailering experience, it has made it radically less stressful being able to see everything around me all the time. This is far superior than the gimmicky dial thing that Ford uses. Nothing better than simply have all the information you can. Cameras everywhere kind of do that. Plus it is immensely more safe.

They need to offer this as a package in all trims. This stuff is most useful in base trims on fleet trucks

I just bought a 2020 silverado, love it and the camera system, , , also when you have a trailer hooked up to the truck and you use your blinker, it activates the camera on the mirror and puts it right on the screen. turn on the left blinker and the left mirror cam comes on and the same for the right side. found this out on acc. really awesome feature that i didn't know that the truck had, , , check it out. great video

I agree with putting the cameras in the rear view mirror👍 They could make the mirror a little bigger & go upward with it so it could also block that darn sun that likes to sneak through the top of the windshield & straight into your eyes.

All trucks should make it standard for all Trim. :)

Always awesome content! 👍🏻 You could pretty much replace the owners manual in the ‘20 GMC 2500 I just picked up yesterday! 😂

Does the "invisible trailer" camera have to be hard wired to the truck or can it be connected by bluetooth?

[wesdog]

I just purchased a new 2021 GMC with the Aux Camera connections on the trailer plug area. Where can we buy these cameras? My local GMC dealer parts guy had no idea and couldn't find much info about them.

Great vid. Any chance you could do an updated version with the new 13.4" screen and DIC?

[aliviafox]

I was told the invisible camera don’t work for rear of fifth wheel, just wonderingly if it would see behind trailer, don’t need it to be invisible l

My friend has a 2024 Silverado 2500 and a Forest River Surveyor 35' hitch trailer.
(I have called Chevrolet, 2 Chevrolet dealers, Two camping worlds, Furrion and Voyager and they all say no) They state it has to be a stand alone monitor. The camper comes with a Furrion bracket)
Is there a way to install the rear camera on the camper and have it show up on the integrated view inside the truck?

[glenwa]

Can you please make a video addressing calibration of the camera system.

[roberttubbs]

I have a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. I am unable to get from GMC a part number for the camera that will fit my vehicle. Frustrating that I am ready to spend money on the equipment, but GMC is of no help for me to spend it. I think I may have found the correct part, $650, but GMC will not guarantee it, and if it doesn't work on my truck too bad. Any assist you could give me would be much appreciated. I am leaving for Newfoundland in a month, with or without the camera. Thanks!

Eactly what I've been looking to find out about... the trailer camera system....
Can my 2020, new to me Silverado 3500LTZ with the same head unit you're showing here hook up all three cameras? And then can they do the OVERHEAD/birds-eye view doing so like what you showed on the truck alone?
Is there any way for the wireless system on my cameras to hook up with the Silverado or do I need to change them out to the wired system?

[rllee]

Hey guys - thanks for all the great information. I have an issue with my 2019 Silverado that has the trailer cam (installed to back of my trailer and hard-wired to my trailering connection). The video shows that you can watch the video behind the trailer while you're driving down the road. Mine times out after 5 seconds. I've been talking with GM and the dealer and they have both told me that there's another part to make the camera play continuously BUT they can't tell me what part. Has anyone had to make a modification so that it works continuously or is there something I don't know about? Thanks in advance!

[arthurday]

How much does it cost to have installed

[johnsnyder]

So what is the option number on the window sticker for this camera setup?

[homeremodelingtips]

He has a passenger to help with traffic so he could be as "safe as possible".... Why not just let the passenger either drive or shoot the video

[Thebazzman]

So my 2020 rst wont have this package either? Is it an option available to purchase?

[jsshay]

What does the camera look like when you’re simply backing up? As compared to the Ford? You keep mentioning the Ram. And, the Ford Raptor has the one where the lines move in order to back up perfectly into a space, without a trailer. We don’t always tow...I much prefer that. ??
