Lewiston Chevrolet – Is Super Cruise® on the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 the Right Choice for Hands-Free Towing in Lewiston, ID?

One of the most common questions we hear from in-market truck shoppers is simple and specific: can the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tow hands-free around Lewiston, ID? The answer is yes — when you choose Silverado 1500 High Country with available Super Cruise®. This cutting-edge driver assistance technology can manage speed and steering on compatible roads, even while towing, to help you stay fresher on long runs along U.S. 95, Highway 12, and beyond. Paired with Silverado’s proven trailering hardware, up to eight available cameras with up to 14 views, and an intuitive In-Vehicle Trailering App, the result is a truck that works smarter for everyday hauls and weekend adventures.

Super Cruise® is designed for confidence, not complacency. The Driver Attention System helps ensure you remain engaged, and the system operates only on compatible roads with clear lane markings. When conditions are right, you’ll see the light bar on the steering wheel prompt you to go hands-free — and you can let Silverado help with the heavy lifting while you keep your eyes on the road. If you tow horses to the Lewiston Roundup Grounds, pull a boat to the Snake River, or haul materials up the Lewiston Hill, Silverado 1500 with Super Cruise® brings modern convenience to the capability you rely on.
