Lewiston Chevrolet – Towing Tech That Works for Moscow, ID: 2025 Sierra 2500 HD Cameras, Hitching Tools, and Trailering Capabilities
Heavy-duty towing should feel predictable, repeatable, and calm — even when conditions aren’t. That’s where the 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 HD separates itself. From its ProGrade® Trailering System to the available industry-first Transparent Trailer View, this truck layers in technology that helps you hitch faster, monitor smarter, and maneuver with more confidence. Whether you’re hauling equipment to a North Idaho job site or pulling a fifth-wheel toward weekend camping, the Sierra HD gives you the right tools in the right places.
The foundation starts with serious hardware and clear visibility. Available trailering mirrors power-extend, retract, and fold to adapt to narrow jobsite entrances and highway merges, while auxiliary spot lamps, amber clearance lamps, and perimeter lighting help illuminate surroundings after dark. Up to 13 available camera views make a real difference when backing near obstacles or lining up to the ball. Add the available 13.4-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with Google built-in on SLE and SLT, and your trailer profiles, checklists, and diagnostics meet a clean, intuitive interface that’s easy to read at a glance.
- Transparent Trailer View: Creates a virtual “see-through” effect with a compatible trailer to help reveal vehicles, curbs, and cyclists behind you.
- Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: Places on-screen guidelines and a close-up camera angle where you need them to quickly align the coupler and ball.
- ProGrade® Trailering System: Integrates smart features like customizable trailer profiles, maintenance reminders, and a trailer light test.
- In-Vehicle Trailering App: Centralizes pre-departure checklists, load estimates, and available trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailering: Available system that accounts for the extra drag and braking distances that come with towing.
Capability underpins the technology. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine pairs with an Allison® 10-speed automatic for consistent power delivery and confident downshifts on grades. Opt for the available Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 with the Allison® 10-speed and you unlock a broad, steady wave of torque that makes long climbs and heavy loads feel more composed. For conventional towing, the Sierra 2500 HD can reach up to 20,000 lbs, and with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel setup, ratings can climb up to 21,870 lbs when properly equipped. The point is simple — you choose the combination that fits your work and recreational needs, then let the truck’s brains and brawn go to work.
Comfort supports the mission. Crew Cab models deliver best-in-class front head and leg room, and the available Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control ensures you and your co-driver settle into a sweet spot quickly. On SLE and SLT, the 13.4-inch infotainment display with Google built-in brings voice-forward navigation and apps into a large, easy-to-navigate interface. Meanwhile, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ help keep cords out of the picture. If you want a concert-like soundtrack for long highway legs, the available Bose Premium Sound System with Richbass woofer brings clarity and depth worth hearing.
Finally, Sierra HD Pro Safety delivers a baseline of awareness built for big vehicles and bigger workloads. Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam, and Buckle to Drive all contribute to a more alert drive. Add up to 13 available camera views, and low-speed maneuvers become far more deliberate and less stressful — especially in tight lots or crowded campgrounds.
At the end of the day, the best trailering tech is the tech you use. The 2025 Sierra 2500 HD turns familiar towing tasks into muscle memory with camera guidance where you need it and an infotainment system that treats trailering as a first-class citizen. If your week involves jobsite trailers and your weekend includes a boat or camper, this is the tool that helps every hookup go smoothly.
