Smarter Trailering Around Pullman, WA – 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Camera Views Explained

Lewiston GMC – Smarter Trailering Around Pullman, WA – 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Camera Views Explained

The right camera view at the right moment can turn a stressful hitch-up or tight maneuver into a simple, confident move. That’s the idea behind the available camera technologies on the 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 HD — a suite designed to help you connect, guide, and monitor your trailer with less guesswork. Whether you’re lining up a weight-distributing hitch, checking cargo in the bed, or threading a boat trailer down a narrow launch, the Sierra HD’s available 15 camera views bring critical sightlines to your 13.4-inch center display. Key views include Transparent Trailer View, which digitally stitches a live feed so you can see “through” a compatible trailer while driving, and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View to fine-tune your approach to the ball. Bed View Camera helps with fifth-wheel or gooseneck hookups, while HD Surround Vision offers a 360-degree perspective to avoid curbs and obstacles at low speeds.

Beyond raw visibility, the truck’s available trailering tech layers in smart guidance. Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert extends side-zone coverage to account for trailer length, Trailer Length Indicator helps when changing lanes, and Jack-Knife Alert monitors your angle while reversing to prompt corrective steering. These features are designed to assist — you remain in control — yet they quickly become indispensable when wind gusts pick up over the Palouse or when dusk makes depth perception tricky at a campsite. If you haul different trailers through the year, the in-vehicle Trailering App lets you create custom profiles with stored brake gain, tire pressure monitor compatibility on equipped trailers, and a pre-departure checklist so you don’t miss a step.

• Transparent Trailer View: Creates a composite view behind compatible trailers to help you see approaching vehicles while driving.
• Hitch Guidance with Hitch View: Places an on-screen overlay and close-up camera angle to align the ball and coupler precisely.
• Bed View Camera: A high-mounted lens that aids fifth-wheel and gooseneck positioning, plus cargo checks underway.
• HD Surround Vision: Multiple cameras combine to show a 360-degree low-speed view for parking lots and tight sites.
• Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert: Expands side blind-zone detection based on your trailer’s length for added confidence when merging.

Setup is straightforward. After pairing a trailer profile in the Trailering App, verify camera feeds on the center display and, if applicable, check the accessory trailer camera for placement and signal strength. The system remembers your preferences — including electric vs. electric-over-hydraulic brake settings — making future hook-ups nearly plug-and-play. For long interstate runs, available Super Cruise® on select Sierra HD models supports hands-free driving on compatible roads and remains working while towing, offering lane-centering and speed control that can ease fatigue. When you exit the freeway and head toward a trailhead or marina, the camera views and hitch guidance tools take over as your low-speed co-pilot.

For shoppers who frequently connect to different trailers, or for anyone new to heavy-duty towing, these available tools accelerate the learning curve and reduce the margin for error. They don’t replace safe driving habits, but they bring professional-level awareness to your dash — especially helpful in crosswinds or poor light when mirrors and instinct alone can fall short. If you’d like a walk-through of the camera views, a test route with a loaded trailer, or tips on accessory placement, our product specialists can tailor a demo to your specific trailers and towing goals. Lewiston Chevrolet GMC offers hands-on guidance so you can see how each view applies to your routine — from quick weekend getaways to full workday hauls.
