Towing and trailering technology has really improved a lot in the last few years. Check out the Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing and Trailering packages available with great features to make towing easier.
It seems like only just a few years ago that integrated trailer brake controllers were added, but now there’s even more new technology for towing.
Trailering capability is a huge part of a truck and to some truck owners, it’s the most important aspect.
