You don’t saw logs with a steak knife. You don’t cut hay with a

garden tractor. And you don’t haul vintage muscle cars with

just any truck. Silverado HD is at its best towing gooseneck

and fifth-wheel trailers of varying sizes up to a best-in-class

23,000 lbs.

The DIESEL EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEM helps keep heavy loads

in check by evaluating the load and grade, and if needed, uses

a variable vane geometry turbo to create the necessary back

pressure to slow your rig and help reduce brake use. Together

with the available Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine and Allison

transmission, diesel exhaust braking is simply a way for engine

exhaust to help slow the heavy load you’re towing downhill.

The available

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER, mounted

on your dash, provides measured brake force to the electric-

controlled trailer brakes for added confidence while towing

heavy loads.

AUTO GRADE BRAKING works with cruise control to

maintain vehicle speed on long, steep descents.

While these trailering features help stop your heavily loaded

truck, Silverado HD gets your rig rolling smoothly—even on hills.

If your tires begin to slide in a direction that’s different from the

one you’re steering,

STABILITRAK® ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

SYSTEM

, standard on single rear wheel models, makes small,

individual brake applications and engine torque adjustments to

enhance control and help keep you on the path being steered.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (single rear wheel models only) senses

when a trailer starts to sway and automatically applies the

truck’s brakes, and reduces engine power, if necessary, to help

get you back on track.

TOW/HAUL mode, another confidence

builder, keeps you in the right gear for the grade you’re on. And

if you’re stopped on inclines greater than 5%,

HILL START ASSIST

(single rear wheel models only) will automatically engage,

holding the truck stationary for about a second, allowing you to

accelerate before the truck can roll backward.

TRAILERS ARE MEANT TO FOLLOW.

SILVERADO IS MEANT TO LEAD.
